I recently became familiar with the work of this lady.... a very interesting scholar who has helped a lot of people. Hope you enjoy it. I'm going to keep on posting up more snippets and videos (if the "mods" dont ban me first on trumped up charges
). Enjoy, and I hope we can TRY to keep the discussion civil ![]() Personal Information Born Frances Luella Cress, March 18, 1935, in Chicago, IL; daughter of Henry N. (a physician) and Ida Mae (a teacher; maiden name, Griffen) Cress. Education: Antioch College, B.S., 1957; Howard University College of Medicine, M.D., 1962. Memberships: National Medical Association, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association. Career Cook County Hospital, Chicago, intern, 1962-63; St. Elizabeth Hospital, Washington, DC, residency in general psychiatry, 1963-66; Children's Hospital, Washington, DC, fellowship in child psychiatry, 1966-68; Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, DC, assistant professor of pediatrics, 1968-75; District of Columbia Government, Department of Human Services, staff physician, 1967-91, clinical director of Hillcrest Children's Center, 1975-76, and of the Paul Robeson School for Growth and Development, North Community Mental Health Center, 1976-90; private practice of psychiatry, Washington, DC, 1967--; author. Life's Work Washington, D.C.-based psychiatrist and race theorist Frances Cress Welsing rocked the fields of cultural and behavioral science with her 1970 essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy). This striking theory of the origins of racism is rooted in the effects that varying degrees of melanin--the color-producing pigment in skin--can have on racial perception and development. "The quality of whiteness is a genetic inadequacy or a relative deficiency or disease based upon the inability to produce the skin pigments of melanin which are responsible for all skin color," she explained in the essay, adding, "The majority of the world's people are not so afflicted, suggesting that the state of color is the norm for human beings and [its] absence is abnormal." In her essay, Welsing contends that because of their "numerical inadequacy" and "color inferiority," white people may have defensively developed "an uncontrollable sense of hostility and aggression" towards people of color which has led to "confrontations" between the races throughout history. Repressing their own feelings of inadequacy, whites "set about evolving a social, political and economic structure to give blacks and other 'non-whites' the appearance of being inferior." The second of three girls, Welsing was born on March 18, 1935, in Chicago, Illinois, into a family that had already produced two doctors. Her father, Henry N. Cress, now deceased, was a medical doctor, as was her grandfather. After receiving her bachelor's degree at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1957, and her M.D. at Washington D.C.'s Howard University College of Medicine five years later, Welsing pursued a career in general and child psychiatry. Her Cress Theory essay was published while she was an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Howard University College of Medicine. According to Welsing, it caused such a stir that her tenure at the university was not renewed in 1975. In addition to her role as an educator, Welsing spent nearly two and a half decades of her long and distinguished career working as a staff physician for the Department of Human Services in Washington, D.C., and served as the clinical director of two schools there for emotionally troubled children. A specialist in both child and general psychiatry, she began her private practice in the district in 1967 and has gained particular acclaim for her work with young people. For Welsing, the world's most pressing problem is the disturbing issue of white supremacy, or racism. "I put the discussion of melanin on the board in order to [describe how pigmentation] was a factor in what white supremacy behavior was all about," Welsing noted in an interview with Michael Eric Dyson for Emerge. "If I had my way, there wouldn't be all the discussion about melanin. I would say, Discuss white supremacy." Welsing laid the foundation for her ongoing discussion of white supremacy in her groundbreaking 1970 essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism. In it, she reasoned that because whiteness is a color deficiency and white people make up only a small percentage of the earth's population, they tend to view people of color as a threat to their survival and therefore treat them with hostility. She stated that their defensive reaction has been to impose white supremacy, or racism, on people of color throughout history. Basing part of her argument on observations by Neeley Fuller in his 1969 Textbook for Victims of White Supremacy, Welsing focused on his view of racism as a "universally operating 'system' of white supremacy rule and domination" in which the "majority of the world's white people participate." He suggested that economic forms of government such as capitalism and communism were created to perpetuate white domination and that the white "race" is really an "organization" dedicated to maintaining control over the world. In addition, he argued that people of color have never imposed "colored" supremacy on anyone. Using Fuller's contention that "most white people hate black people [because] whites are not black people," Welsing went on to suggest that "any neurotic drive for superiority," in this case, the white drive, is based on a "deep and pervading sense of inadequacy and inferiority." Welsing cited journals, diaries, and books written by whites as examples of their "initial hostility and aggression" towards people of color and particularly towards black people "who have the greatest color potential and therefore are the most envied and the most feared in genetic color competition." She added: "That whites desire to have colored skin can be seen by anyone at the very first signs of Spring or Summer when they begin to strip off their clothes, often permitting their skins to be burned severely in an attempt to add some color to their white, pale, colorless bodies, rendering themselves vulnerable to skin cancer in the process." Welsing asserted in The Cress Theory that many whites are unable to peacefully live among or attend school with people of color because it explodes "the myth of white superiority" and forces them to face their "psychological discomfort" and "color inadequacy." She also stated that "the difficulty whites have in according 'non-whites' socio-political and economic equality stems ... from the fundamental sense of their own unequal situation in regards to their numerical inadequacy and color deficiency." To compensate for this inadequacy, Welsing judged, whites strive to maintain a superior social position and manipulate non-whites and themselves into thinking that they are a worldwide numerical majority instead of the minority. In support of this conclusion, she cited statistics indicating that birth control is rarely emphasized for whites, while a great emphasis is placed on controlling the birthrates of people of color. She concluded her Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation by arguing that people of color must gain a better understanding of the "behavioral maneuverings" of whites in order to avoid being "manipulated into a subordinated position." In her view, people of color need to "liberate" themselves psychologically from various forms of white domination. She also suggested that whites need to understand the motivation behind their behavior and explore with an open mind the emotional and psychological foundations of racism. The issue of white supremacy is discussed in depth in Welsing's 1990 book The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors, a virtual fixture on the Blackboard African American Bestsellers List. In the book, the author uses America's preoccupation with sports to illustrate what she perceives to be white supremacist behavior in action: "The whole of white culture," she wrote in The Isis Papers, "is designed to say that whites have [certain] qualities. Everything possible is done to demonstrate this. First, you have [only] white players, then blacks come in, but a white has to be the quarterback. Western culture has to project white supremacy." Welsing further contended that when blacks succeed athletically, whites are forced "up against the psychological wall" because white youngsters are "brought up to believe a white has to be superior." Not surprisingly, Welsing's views about global white supremacy and racism in contemporary society have provoked controversy and stimulated debate in and outside of the black community, as well as on national television. Her theory has also challenged former definitions of racism put forth by social and behavioral scientists. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Welsing was praised in the Los Angeles Times for being "the first scientist to psychoanalyze white racism" in the history of Western psychiatry, rather then focusing on the victims of racism. She is sought out by the media for her provocative view of race relations and lectures about racism at colleges and universities in the United States and England. Back in 1974, Welsing debated Dr. William Shockley, the author of a theory of black genetic inferiority, on national public television. She is responsible for generating public discussion throughout the United States about the possible effects of melanin on behavior and culture. Black authors, psychiatrists, and lecturers have written studies and books on this subject, and a series of conferences about it have been held on the East and West Coasts. In the early 1990s Welsing's theory caused a stir in the media after a publicist for the popular rap group Public Enemy sent music reviewers copies of her 1970 essay along with advance tapes of the group's new album, Fear of a Black Planet. Their publicist, Harry Allen, said in the Washington Post that Welsing's paper "should be seen as some of the inspiration" for the album, the title song of which deals with racial purity and miscegenation (racial mixing). In reply to those who have called her theory racist, Welsing commented in the Washington Post that her philosophy is "a challenge to white behavioral scientists to help white people become comfortable with their numbers and their color, because if they become comfortable with their minority and genetic recessive status and stop getting upset about it so they're really in a posture of respecting themselves, then they can be in a posture to respect other people." Still, Welsing drew skeptical comments from some Washington journalists over her reported statement in 1989 on ABC-TV's Nightline that drug trafficking is an effort by "genetically recessive" whites fearing "genetic annihilation" to kill a large part of the young black male population which poses "the greatest threat to white genetic survival." Welsing advocated the use of force to stop warring drug dealers in Washington, D.C.'s most dangerous neighborhoods. She also suggested in the Washington Post that more attention should be paid to "what is happening to black men, a large segment of whom are in a state of frustration and hopelessness." Linking drug-related homicides to personal history, she stated: "I'll bet if we examined the lives of these drug killers, we'd find a mother who started having babies as a teen-ager [and] a kid who had no self-esteem and a fatalistic expectation of a short, violent and jobless life." Welsing suggested that African American families must operate more effectively if they are to produce "strong-minded" children who can "challenge" white supremacy. In an interview in Essence, she told Karen Halliburton, "No Black female should have children before the age of 30, and no Black man should become a father before the age of 35. Before child rearing, we should be going to school, going to the library, educating ourselves. We must create mature, mentally developed parents. Then we will be able to produce children with self-respect and a high-level functioning pattern." Welsing theorized in the Chicago Tribune that many black children have received too little "lap time" or cuddling from their parents and that this "later propelled them into premature sex, alcohol and drug abuse." In private practice and in visits to schools, she observed that these children become parents without learning how to "satisfy emotional needs"; a resulting condition of "dependency deprivation" has perpetuated itself in black families since the days of slavery. Ultimately Welsing believes that the key to eradicating racism lies in self-respect, discipline, and education. "We must clean up our neighborhoods," she told Halliburton. "We must revolutionize ourselves.... Whether white people are consciously or subconsciously aware of it, they are behaving in a manner to ensure white genetic survival. We must know this truth. And the truth is the first step toward real strength." Views Cress Welsing states that a system is practiced by the global white minority, on both conscious and unconscious levels, to ensure their genetic survival by any means necessary. According to Cress Welsing, this system attacks people of color, particularly people of African descent, in the nine major areas of people's activity: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war.[2] Cress Welsing believes that it is imperative that people of color, especially people of African descent, understand how the system of white supremacy works in order to dismantle it and bring true justice to planet Earth.[1] In The Isis Papers she postulates the melanin theory, a pseudoscientific supremacist hypothesis that white people are the genetically defective descendants of albino mutants. She posits that because of this defective mutation, they may have been forcibly expelled from Africa, among other possibilities.[3] Welsing proposes that, because it is so easy for pure whiteness to be genetically lost during interracial breeding, light-skinned peoples developed an aggressive colonial urge and their societies dominated others militarily in order to preserve this light-skinned purity. Welsing ascribes certain inherent and behavioral differences between black and white people to a "melanin deficiency" in white people. Welsing proposes what she calls a "functional definition of racism": Functional Definition Of Racism = White Supremacy = Apartheid: As a black behavioral scientist and practicing psychiatrist, my own functional definition of racism (white supremacy) is as follows: "Racism (white supremacy) is the local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined; which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action, and emotional response, as conducted, simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex, and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet Earth - a planet upon which the vast and overwhelming majority of people are classified as nonwhite (black, brown, red and yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people."[4] According to Welsing various cultural practices express white people's sense of their own inferiority: On both St. Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts…. If his sweetheart ingests "chocolate with nuts," the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male…. Is it not also curious that when white males are young and vigorous, they attempt to master the large brown balls, but as they become older and wiser, they psychologically resign themselves to their inability to master the large brown balls? Their focus then shifts masochistically to hitting the tiny white golf balls in disgust and resignation — in full final realization of white genetic recessiveness.[5] Cress Welsing has been criticized for stating that black male homosexuality is consciously imposed on the black man by the white man to destroy the black family, that black homosexuality is a sign of weakness and that homosexual patterns of behavior are simply expressions of black male self-submission to other males in the area of sex, as well as in other areas such as economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, and war.[6] Film appearance Cress Welsing made a rare screen appearance when she starred in the documentary 500 Years Later (2005) starring Maulana Karenga , Muhammed Shareef , Hakim Adi , Kimani Nehusi, Paul Robeson Jr , Nelson George, and many more.

Quote: FUCK. OFF. My two word rebuttal has about as much scientific merit as the quote. What utter bullshit. Does this really need addressing? To go to the first movie clip, she's making royal mistakes there too. When someone white and someone black make a baby, the baby isn't white or black, that they are assigned the label "black" is a social artifact, but the actual split between African/European is 50/50. The great majority of black people in the US are mixed race people. Quote: Poppycock. Eugenics. Quote: ![]() Maybe all the things she says sound remotely reasonable if you are living in the United States, but if you don't, have traveled or otherwise have been outside the US cultural sphere physically or mentally, it is blatantly obvious that her point of view is highly culturally contaminated and if anything says more about black and white identity in the USA than in the rest of the world. First she makes the point that superiority feelings are often a compensational mechanism to mask inferiority feelings, which holds merit but then she tries to instill the same feelings into her black audience with slanted comments like: Quote: No you nitwit, poor nutrition has been the norm worldwide, and under those conditions darkskinned people in temperate climates got a deficiency in Vitamin D, causing more die-off and disease among dark skinned people there, less reproductive success and darwinistic selection for lighter skin ensued there. Lightskinned people have a melanin deficiency in tropical zones but black people have a cholecalciferol deficiency in temperate zones. Quote: If she spent one minute of thought on the game of golf she'd realize that a brown ball would be exceedingly hard to spot 200 foot away on a golf course of green grass and brown soil. If you seek to combat white racism with black racism, all you end up is more racism and more antagonism between the groups.

Fatboy Slim - Don't let the man get you down Not just is the music awesome, it really drives home that being a racist not just makes you look like a complete jerk, but that if you are racist, life will provide ample opportunities to be annoyed and pissed off at situations you would barely even register if you didnt have that hangup.

Wiccan. your quotation (as well as the more obvious history of humanity on the planet!) speaks wonderfully for itself! nice behavior for someone supposed to be a mod, right? thanks for starting your tyrade of quotations from others in a manner inappropriate and non-conducive to meaningful exchanges.
let me begin by stating that some of my own flesh and blood are blonde/blue in traits, and I love them more than anything. moreover, our family gives them the special care and consideration that they require with regard to the sun etc. that is, they are considered, pampered and looked-after for their special requirements at family events etc. I dont know where you got those quotations, was it from my posting?? dont think so. (seems like there are several misinterpretations of the info there.) but, im glad you found someone else's words to express yourself with. sound familiar? (stealing other peoples stuff) but, some of the thoughts you expressed, though transposed, were also my own, initially. the behavioral scientist, or psychiatrist, knows how to look into the subconscious (and symbolic) nature of behavior. in that way, they can sometimes understand a person or group better than they themselves do. sometimes they help expose what has been kept secret. for instance, your rudeness and knee-jerk response seems more to correlate to hitting a sensitive area of your psyche, than real rational thought. and yet, i, being equally disposed to all people and groups, have taken the time to understand the real value and meaning of Welsing's scientific contributions. she has done much to explain the previously unexplicable behavior of malice, hatred, and uncalled-for behavior of the group of people which she addresses. if certain groups would take the time to properly understand it in its non-malicious nature, it could possibly help them to overcome their deep complexes, and abhorrent behavior in the world, and toward our collective human family. and while some of Welsing's statements are certainly bound to be inflamatory to an already historically uncouth and abusive crowd to begin with... i do not think she goes far enough and generalizes too much. for instance, beyond 'white' prejudice and malice toward other people, racism, I believe she fails to properly understand and examine the identity of the pigment-less, purer albino bloodlines, which are running the whole show via their European secret societies, as well as their historical participation in the practices of human and animal sacrifice and blood consumption. (see history and religion of Norse, Viking, Goth, Roman elite...) these are also tell-tale signs, you see. ONE LAST THING (for i dont want to post a whole book here) :-). I said she definitely over-generalizes, but gives a good foundation. Most of the people WHO THINK OF THEMSELVES AS "WHITE", and have been taught to think of themselves as "white" ARE NOT RALLY "WHITE" AT ALL, but "semites" or persons of mixed qualities. that is, the recessive has mixed again with the dominant strains (for the preservation of the species, as they naturally do.) In this way, they have regained some of the color and melanin that protects the body. that's a good thing! well scientifically and biologically speaking. not to the illogical irate racist type, lol. Rather, the so-called "white" people who have dark eyes, hair, or can tan and tolerate SOME sun are not considered by the elite to be white or of pure blood. They are considered merely as light-skinned blacks, and therefore low-class. even people of fairest traits, if not from the 'purer' albino, aristocratic bloodlines, are similarly looked upon. Those mixed 50-50... lik eshe said turn out "colored". and this is not acceptable to such racists either. so, it seems futile to defend the evil masters who have invaded and taken over Europe, and elsewhere to pillage and enslave...imposing their psychotic complexes. They are merely playing out their own deep-seated feelings of inferiority and jealousy (conscious or sub-conscious), i believe, and use this divide-and-conquer strategy among the masses to polarize our minds to see in "black-and-white." Classifying people into different nations and races...reather than the truth of what we are... ONE DIVERSE HUMAN FAMILY, each with our own special traits and requirements. Wiccan I LOL at your hostility, not because you were not eloquent, at times, but because it is not frances welsing's writings and talks that are the REAL problem in the world, but the excessive violence and oppressive, exploitative systems of control imposed by the vast minority, conspiring albino subset--more specific their ruling elite!!!--who have and continue to despoil the Earth with barbarian behavior and mentality. Furhtermore, I dont think we can pretend that either of us compare favorably to the scholarship, achievements, and resume of this doctor. you are entitled to your opinion, regardless. though I dont feel youre seeing the facts clearly.

now, in a somewhat backwards fashion, I will show you an old school video of Frances, based on her landmark book: The Isis Papers. It was made in the 80's, I believe, probably on an old-school VHS cam. therfore I did not want to show it first. There are breaks in the audio...but I believe it is all there, just out of sync at times. not too much is lost, anyways, enjoy.

Quote: No, you got that wrong. What I quoted were quotations attributed to her in the body of your first post. Quote: Then really carefully reread your own first post again please, because they ARE quotations attributed to her in your post. I'm glad you think that kind of talk is unacceptable, because I really agree with it being unacceptable - her words though. Quote: Explain that one to me in words I can understand. Are you accusing me of stealing stuff from others? Quote: And sometimes all that psychological freud-esque speculation leads to straight up nonsense, like "white men when they are young try to master the big black balls but when they get older they realize they can never bridle black fertility so they hit the little white balls". Give me a huge break please. Maybe, just maybe, you dont see old people basketball because its a dynamic sport and few young people play golf because its boring as heck to someone with a fresh nervous system, and all those big throbbing black cocks and shriveled impotent white balls are stuff she puts into it. Modern psychiatrists don't do all that psychoanalytical Freud crap anymore, it has been demonstrated to be ineffective. Every week you can have a psychoanalyst make you relive and regurgitate all your painful memories for years on end - or you can do nothing at all for the same time period, the net result is that about the same number of people in either group will be cured and the same number will not be. Its proven to be expensive, dependecy inducing, psychologically painful quackery. Modern psychiatry can do a LOT for you in many ways, but time spent at an old fashioned psychoanalist is really time better spent stoned on your porch - and you save a buck too. Quote: Race is a social/philosophical definition, not a scientific one. In my personal philosophy I go a lot further, I believe all living beings are in fact reincarnations of one and the same being coexisting in the same time period. You, me, Cactusdan's Peruvian Torch, Coaster's roaches, its all One, its all You. Quote: I'm glad you are getting LOL out of it too, I'm not being hostile just writing in extremo and enjoying it. Extreme standpoints are more fun to read and more fun to write. I have nothing against you, or the dear lady, but her Freudian musings got me thinking of black dick when I eat chocolate and I think enough about that already at times when chocolate is the last thing on my mind. Quote: No, racism is the bigger problem, and she's doing it too. She fights fire with fire and uses speech, quoten in your post, that incites people to dislike other people based on race. I'm sure she must have done good things, but what you quoted contained some very questionable content, which I quoted.

Bottom line: I agree strongly that white on black racism is a huge problem, and that most people are a lot more racist than they realize - but that doesnt mean that anything goes when it comes to fighting it.

Quote: There is no malicious intention in any of my posts, try to understand. Thank you for your comment. also like Wiccan, i think what you intended to say was: i have some difference of opinion with this doctor's analysis...for the following reasons.. pursuant to the following points... in conclusion...etc. yet, proper manners and the ebility to have a meaningful intellectual exchange with others--especially with others of the Earth's majority population, has not been acquired yet, or is not among your many abilities-as of yet. this point of politeness and good culture is not to be overlooked, lightly, and is surely a result of the loss of humanity original, highly developed indigenous culture. To address your points, if you are familiar with formal genetics, you will know that what she is saying about the nature of color and traits is a completely correct interpretation of irrefutable science. Whiteness of skin, colorless hair, and red...gray.. to blue eyes are all clearly recessive albino traits. These recessive states are a deficiency state resulting from genetic damage or mutation...possibly from one of a number of environmental and behavioral factors... or simply progressive genetic degradation, etc. It is not an insult, mind you but scientific fact that ascribes to simple common sense. It is a medical condition that is well understood to be prone to cancer under normal conditions, various eye and vision abnormalities, and high rates of rare diseases and retardation. we can look at this medically without being racist. Humans and other organisms that live in the day on the surface of the earth are not suited to white/colorless skin without melanin. Melanin is needed and highly desirable for the well-being and survival of the human species. It aids development and protects the cells, organs, systems etc of the body. This dominance tends to play out in nature, relationships, etc, which seems to be, at least part of why the albino male would seem so threatened and hostile. They have felt the need to create these violent and oppressive artificial social and economic systems to make them feel secure, even though they are acting out of an irrational and thoroughly unscientific psychological complex. that is they fail to identify with their parental human family, and humanity as a whole, and are isolated--perhaps by numerous factors of their condition itself. This plays out in their relationships with their own people, and especially 'others'. If we consider that melanin development is so essential to human development from the earliest stages of life, you will understand that their development is simply incomplete, which, in more extreme cases, has led to mental, social, and behavioral deficiencies as well, apparently. that is, they seem to be deficient in mental maturity in the form of morality, discretion, intuition, and healthy, harmonious social functioning with the rest (vast majority) of humanity. they have cast themselves as other. As for albinos being kicked out of Africa, this is only one of several possible theories of their origins as a collective that she has presented. there is some record and remembrance of this among Africans, however, from the research that I have done, I believe otherwise. specifically, it is known that the albinos in Africa have always been loved and treated lovingly as family members among most people on the continent. the Africans are good and loving people, so that is what we expect. however, it was learned that some of these people were associated with high rates of developmental disease, poor vision, lessened skill and hardiness, (relative to the environment of Africa, mind you) and normal societal functioning, mental retardation, and were prone to commit socially unacceptable behaviors and atrocities at times. for this reason they were viewed, at times, with taboo, with regard to marriage, family, etc. This is where Cress gets her theory. I myself believe that most of the whites from Europe today are not from Africas minuscule albino minority, but from Africa's sister civilization in the Indus Valley. I believe this phenomenon of mass-albino-creation was due to one or a combination of habitual or environmental factors which are not yet understood--at least publicly. Topping this list are the habitual use of various drugs, possibly during pregnancy, and the strange blood rituals which I believe originated in this part of the world and spread to Scandinavia--because of the low UV index in the northern hemisphere. -------------------- Careful Nonviolence Toward All Life Forms

). Enjoy, and I hope we can TRY to keep the discussion civil 

me!
but, some of the thoughts you expressed, though transposed, were also my own, initially.
