The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors

The Isis Papers
and females (without apology or giving up in the crunch). The fear of
such a confrontation is at the basis of most of today's Black male
pathologies in patterns of logic, thought, speech, action and emotional
res]JOnse as they participate in all areas of human activity.
I have been working with Black mothers of Black male children,
attempting to help them rid themselves of the fear of their sons and their
men dying, which pushes them unconsciously to make babies of their sons
and their husbands in an effort to try to protect and defend them. This
response is the exact reverse of what is needed under the conditions of
racism. Black women must learn to rear sons who will learn from the
cradle that their major function as men is not to get a good job and a fine
car, but to defend, protect and support their people (in that order), even
should death be the consequence. That the Black male is not a sex
machine but a protector and developer of Black people must be learned
during the rearing process. There will be good jobs and self-respect (if
not fine cars) once the people are liberated. ·There will be no true
self-respect until that task is completed.
As a people, we will need increasingly sttong men because we can
expect that white males, driven into homosexuality from their sense of
weakness compared to the world's majority of colored men, also will
move towards others (non-whites), which is always an attempt to compensate
for the awareness of true weakness. Black male bisexuality and
homosexuality has been used by the white collective in its effort to survive
genetically in a world dominated by colored people, and Black acceptance
of this imposition does not solve the major problem of our oppression but
only further retards its ultimate solution.
