The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors

The Isis Papers
Black Fear
doctrine addresses itself to this potential fate of his own group. He did
not understand that he was being classified as non-white, nor did he
understand white/non-white color confrontation. Thus, he was :!11
prepared to address it and its destructive implications. He too became
confused in recognizing himself as a non-white, in the struggle that $oes
on between the white classes: the upper, middle and lower classes. He
failed to realize that, irrespective of income, education and position, he
and all other fellow Semites constituted the powerless, non-white, nonclass
victims in a white supremacy system. All non-whites, then as now,
fall outside all three of the aforementioned white class groupings because
the word "class" specifically refers to power - ultimately the power to
protect one's life and the lives of one's group members in the framework
of an existing power system.
This attempted escape into Marxist doctrine falsely comforts some
Blacks (as it did many Semites in Europe). In accepting this doctrine,
they are convinced that there are some whites (the workers) who wish to
unite with non-whites out of a supposed common interest. They further
believe that these whites do not function under the white supremacy
necessity (the global fear of white genetic annihilation by the genetically
dominant non-whites) that governs the survival psyche of all who accept
classification as "white" people. Though they have no proof that a significant
number of such whites exist, some Blacks persist in following the
Marxist doctrine in order to avoid the fear-inducing awareness that Blacks
and other non-whites are and always have been, weak and vulnerable in
the context of the global white supremacy system.
Like the 10-year-old Black male child I mentioned earlier, all Black
adults will have to learn how to admit openly and honestly their fear of
dying in the process of actively trying to destroy the injustice of global
white supremacy. Only then will Black brain-computers cease patterns
of circular logic, the logic of fear and escape, such that a firm Black
analysis of the white supremacy dynamic can develop. With this established,
a long-term commitment to white supremacy neutralization can
follow.
A prerequisite to overcoming fear is the growth of self- and grouprespect.
This respect cannot develop as Blacks strive to the blame one
another for the symptoms of their common oppression. This respect
cannot flourish in the presence of a belief that Blacks cannot develop their
own analysis of and provide their own solutions to Black problems
without the leadership, approval ami/or funding of non-Blacks. In keeping
with this goal, I recommend to the Black collective that we need not
have any conferences other than to announce the existence of our fear of
white supremacy and to share with one another all possible solutions for
overcoming these fears.
Solving the problem of political and social oppression of a people is
fundamentally no different than solving a problem of illness in the human
body. What is essential in the latter instance is an accwate diagnosis of
the problem through observation, examination and various clinical tests
and studies. The diagnosis represents a summarized statement of the
specific pattern of physiologic derangement and a statement of the lllajor
and minor causal factors. A program of treatment and cure is based upon
producing the specific measures to counteract the causal factor(s) efficiently
and to alter any potential for the return of those factors permanently.
Finally, the test of diagnostic accuracy is the effectiveness of the
treatment and cure.
The physician functions as a scientist to the extent that he or she bases
the plan of treatment and cure on concrete observation, examination and
analysis of the problem. This physician/scientist is more dependent upon
his or her current observations and analysis than upon some previously
written descriptions of "similar'' disease states found in some valued
textbook written by learned and respected ancient authorities. The
physician/scientist is ever-cognizant of the possibility of new disease
states that never existed previously or of old disease states that never were
described accwately and thus for which there are no established plans for
treatment and cure.
Physicians who lack fundamental self-respect and self-confidence are
unable to make their own observations and analyses because they do not
trust their own sensory apparatus, nor do they trust the ability of their own
