<strong>The</strong> Concept and <strong>the</strong> Color of God<br />
Couple this image and concept of God as a white man with <strong>the</strong> white<br />
supremacy system's formal definition of God as "<strong>the</strong> supreme or ultimate<br />
reality; <strong>the</strong> Being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness whom ~en<br />
worship as crea<strong>to</strong>r and ruler of <strong>the</strong> universe." <strong>The</strong>n of absolute necessity,<br />
<strong>the</strong> logic circuits of <strong>the</strong> human brain-computer have <strong>to</strong> print out "<strong>The</strong><br />
white man (as God, <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> white male Christ) is <strong>the</strong> supreme or<br />
ultimate reality; <strong>the</strong> white man is <strong>the</strong> Being, perfect in power, wisdom<br />
and goodness whom all men should worship ~ crea<strong>to</strong>r and ruler of <strong>the</strong><br />
universe."<br />
With this unconscious logic circuit of "God is a white man" flriDly in<br />
place, white domination over non-white people could last for one trill~on<br />
years. This would be true if this critical and essential logic connec~on<br />
could be implanted and plugged in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> brain-computers of a sufficient<br />
number of black, brown, red and yellow peoples, who constitute <strong>the</strong> vast<br />
majority of <strong>the</strong> peoples on <strong>the</strong> planet With <strong>the</strong> wllite'man as God, <strong>the</strong><br />
non-white global collective would be obedient <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> white man always.<br />
It was <strong>the</strong> necessary duty of <strong>the</strong> vast army of white supremacy<br />
(Christian) missionaries sent out around <strong>the</strong> world, following <strong>the</strong> guns ~f<br />
white supremacy conquest, <strong>to</strong> implant-deep within <strong>the</strong> unconscious logic<br />
networks of non-white brain-computers- <strong>the</strong> critical image and concept<br />
of God as a white man. This unconscious implantation has been successful<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> extent that many non-white people on <strong>the</strong> planet conceive of<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves as members of <strong>the</strong> Christian (white supremacy) religion. In<br />
<strong>the</strong> U.S., <strong>the</strong> overwhelming majority of Black people, as well as a large<br />
portion of o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples, consider <strong>the</strong>mselves Christian.<br />
Thus, all Black and o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples who profess <strong>to</strong> be<br />
members of <strong>the</strong> Christian (white supremacy) religion, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
conscious of it or not, worship <strong>the</strong> white man as God (not as "a" god, but<br />
as "<strong>the</strong>" God). And, in <strong>the</strong> unconscious logic networks of <strong>the</strong>ir individual<br />
brain-computers lies <strong>the</strong> logic that <strong>the</strong> white man is <strong>the</strong> supreme or<br />
ultimate reality-<strong>the</strong> Being perfect in power, wisdom and goodness whom<br />
men worship as crea<strong>to</strong>r and ruler of <strong>the</strong> universe. Although Black and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples may understand that <strong>the</strong>y are oppressed by <strong>the</strong><br />
global white collective, of which <strong>the</strong> white males are <strong>the</strong> dominant<br />
members, <strong>the</strong> brain-computer's cold logic circuits also unconsciously<br />
infonn <strong>the</strong> non-white (Christian) victim that it is impossible <strong>to</strong> free or<br />
liberate one's self from <strong>the</strong> supreme being who has created <strong>the</strong> universe!<br />
In o<strong>the</strong>r words, if in <strong>the</strong> deep, unconscious recesses of my brain-computerrests<br />
<strong>the</strong> fundamental logic that God is a white man and that! should<br />
worship "God," all of my attempts at liberation will move me only in a<br />
circle. Indeed, <strong>the</strong> circumference of my "liberation movement circle"<br />
could be so wide that it really appears <strong>to</strong> me that I am moving in a straight<br />
line of progress. But moving in a circle, no matter how big <strong>the</strong> circle, is<br />
tantamount <strong>to</strong> standing absolutely still, marking time. Many Black people<br />
in <strong>the</strong> U.S. now are beginning <strong>to</strong> feel as though our liberation efforts (in<br />
spite of loss of life and whipped heads) have left us still standing on <strong>the</strong><br />
same spot of white oppression.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> vast majority of Black and o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples <strong>to</strong>day, <strong>the</strong><br />
arrival of <strong>the</strong>se ice cold facts of brain-computer logic at <strong>the</strong> conscious<br />
level will be experienced initially as shattering and self-disintegratingprimarily<br />
because it is God <strong>the</strong> protec<strong>to</strong>r and <strong>the</strong> crea<strong>to</strong>r upon whom <strong>the</strong><br />
self is taught (programmed) ultimately <strong>to</strong> depend. If <strong>the</strong> concept of God<br />
is removed from my brain-computer, upon whom or what am I <strong>to</strong> lean,<br />
especially ifl am feeling oppressed, depressed and overwhelmed? If <strong>the</strong>re<br />
is nothing or no one <strong>to</strong> provide support, <strong>the</strong>n I believe that I will collapse<br />
,and disintegrate.<br />
None<strong>the</strong>less, as a general and child psychiatrist, I am fully aware of<br />
<strong>the</strong> destruction spawned by <strong>the</strong> unconscious logic implant "God is a white<br />
man." However, no matter what <strong>the</strong> level of initial trauma felt when this<br />
logic circuit is brought <strong>to</strong> conscious awareness, it must come fully <strong>to</strong> light<br />
··and be yanked out. Indeed, <strong>the</strong>re can be no mental health, self-respect or<br />
· . positive self-concept for Black or o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples as long as this<br />
specious and destructive logic circuit remains in place.<br />
c It might be instructive at this juncture <strong>to</strong> recall that Christianity was<br />
based upon <strong>the</strong> life and activity of an African (Black) prophet named<br />
Jesus. That <strong>the</strong> white Romans recognized this fact is reflected in <strong>the</strong> early<br />
portrayals of Jesus and his mo<strong>the</strong>r as <strong>the</strong> Black madonna and Black child.<br />
