The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors

The Isis Papers
The practice of those unit patterns of behavior (i.e., logic, thought,
speech, action and emotional response) in all areas of people activity:
economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex
and war- which are simultaneously self- and group-supporting under
the social and political conditions of worldwide white supremacy
domination (racism). In brief, this means Black behavioral practice
which resists self- and group-negation and desttuction.
The above are the criteria used to judge Black mental health or Black
mental illness. The reader should be forewarned that my conceptualizations
do not rely on the currently utilized, late 19th and early
20th century "European" psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud. If
Freud's insights into behavior were truly adequate, they would have aided
his six million fellow Semites in preventing their destruction by the
anti-Semitic white supremacy power organization of Nazi Germany.
Failing to understand this major behavioral dynamic, Freud had to flee to
save his life. Furthermore, my conceptualizations do not rely on the recent
position taken by the American Psychiatric Association - that
homosexuality is no longer categorized as a form of behavioral illness.
This pronouncement has nothing to do with the mental health of Black
people.
The human brain - the organ responsible for all patterns of logic,
thought, speech, action and emotional response - is an organ of the
nervous system that evolved over many thousands of years. Its purpose
has been to decode and solve problems in the external environment-both
its physical and social aspects. Thus, specific patterns of behavior may be
looked upon as functional or dysfunctional solutions to the problems
posed by the external environment.
When the brain's purpose is understood, patterns of male passivity,
effeminization, bisexuality and homosexuality may be looked upon as
functional or dysfunctional solutions to specific problems posed in the
environment, even though consciously they are not understood as such.
But for what environmental problems are these behaviors considered
answers- functional or dysfunctional- and for whom?
Black Male Passivity
These questions cannot be answered without frrst understanding the
nature of the environment (the specific dynamic and structure of the social
system) in which these behaviors occur.
As explained in Chapter 1, racism (white supremacy) is the dominant
social system in today's world. Its fundamental dynamic is predicated
upon the genetic recessive deficiency state of albinism, which is responsible
for skin whiteness and thus the so-called "white race." This genetic
recessive trait is dominated by the genetic capacity to produce any of the
various degrees of skin melanination - whether black, brown, red or
yellow. In other words, it can be annihilated as a phenotypic condition.
Control of this potential for genetic domination and annihilation
throughout the world is absolutely essential if the condition of skin
whiteness is to survive. "White" survival is predicated upon aggressiveness
and muscle mass in the form of technology directed against the
"non-white" melaninated men on the planet Earth who constitute the
numerical majority. Therefore, white survival and white power are dependent
upon the various methodologies, tactics and strategies developed
to control all "non-white" men, as well as bring them into cooperative
submission. This is especially important in the case of Black men because
they have the greatest capacity to produce melanin and, in turn, the
greatest genetic potential for the annihilation of skin albinism or skin
whiteness.
During the past 400 years, Black men in the U.S. have been forced into
passive and cooperative submission to white men. The major strategy has
been the installation of an overwhelming/ear. Specific tactics range from
actual physical castration and lynching, to other oven and more subtle
forms of abuse, violence and cruelty. We should not be ashamed to
recognize these tactics used to oppress Black men. It is the truth. It is
reality. Ultimately, this is the meaning of Black oppression.
All Black people are oppressed. I emphasize here that Black men are
oppressed because ultimately, it is male muscle mass that oppresses a
people, and only male muscle mass has the potential for achieving
liberation. If the men of a people are oppressed, the women are brought
under oppression- as they are dependent on their men for protection and
