The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors

The Isis Papers
Mr. Kraft later used the tenn "pro-gun culture" to describe American
culture and society, as he cited that there have been no fewer than five
different Presidential commissions that have recommended more stringent
forms of gun control.
While recognizing along with Mr. Kraft the predominant use of guns
in the American frontier days, I strongly disagree that guns were needed
for survival in the simple terms of the continuation of life. After all, the
Native Americans taught the Europeans how to grow corn to feed themselves
and survive. Ouns were needed, however, if Native (non-white)
Americans were going to be removed successfully from the land that the
Europeans (whites) wished to dominate and control.
This essay is being written neither in review nor in protest of the
horrendous carnage of Native American life in particular, nor in protest
of the general path of carnage that has been tread in this area of the world.
It is being written in hopes of shedding light on the seeming dilemma that,
in spite of the past and present potential carnage from handguns, there is
tremendous resistance amongst the dominant population to have goos as
well as all other instruments of life destruction (including atomic,
hydrogen and neutron bombs) brought under control.
In my view, the gun is a critical symbol in the subconscious mind of
white peoples everywhere. This symbol is primarily operative, as are all
true symbols at the unconscious level of brain activity.
Increasing numbers of Black behavioral scientists are beginning to
understand that the dominant thrust in what has become known as
"Western civilization" is racism.
Once we become aware of the deep humiliation that is apparently felt
by whites because of their skin whiteness (due to the genetic mutation to
albinism) and because of their genetic vulnerability when compared to
non-whites (black, brown, red and yellow peoples), it is possible to
understand the historically degraded status of sex in the white supremacy
system/culture. Sex is "the act of self-reproduction" and the act responsible
for "the production of the self' and "the appearance of the self." In
the white brain-computer, if the white, pale, genetically vulnerable self is

de~ded, then the act that produced that self will be degraded in th t
