in understanding and decoding the symbol. This is the most fundamental
reason that "Westerners" have difficulty in thinking like "Easterners"
(black and brown peoples- people with higher levels of melanin ~ ~eir
nervous systems), and vice versa. Melaninated peoples are funcuom~g
with a sixth sense, the additional sensory system being that of melanm
while Westerners function with only five senses. Thus, the

Western dictionaries defme hieroglyphs as "difficult to dec1p er.
Similarly, the Western dictionaries define parable as "an obscure or
enigmatic saying." . . .
Black and other non-white peoples who have been tratned to think like
westerners now have to retrain their brains and nervous systems to
function at full capacity through conscious effort to use their melanin
networks. This can be achieved through the practice of self-respect,
wherein Black and other non-white peoples respect and pay close at~e~tion
to what their own six-sense nervous systems inform them of. Thts 1s
quite contrlUY to focusing on what white-skinned peoples are a~le to f~us
on and what they train non-white peoples to focus on. Melanm-defictent
"educators" can train non-white peoples to use only a portion of their
nervous systems at best. Thus, it is the responsibility of ~on-whi~ peoples
to take charge of developing the full use of their melanin potenttal.
Familiarity with these issues are necessary for an examination of rape
as a symbol in the white supremacy system/culture. Rape ~san unjust and
sick pattern of behavior. It is a behavior pattern reflecuve of very low
levels of self-respect and, therefore, of mental illness. Simultaneously,
rape manifests very low levels of respect towards others. It is a horrendous
violation of the selfhood of another.
The most frequent form of rape is that in which a male aggressively
and abusively imposes his genitals onto a female with the threat of
destruction. This conduct is seen most frequently in situations of male
confmement: in penal institutions, juvenile corrective institutions or
psychiatric institutions - which are staffed and supervised ina~quately ·
A fundamental aspect of rape is the imposition of the male gemtals upon
someone considered physically weaker or vulnerable by someone who (at
least superficially) looks upon himself as being more powerful and

capabl~ of subduing another. Condensed to the least common
denomu~tor, rape is an act in which the genitals become a weapon. A
w~apon 1s most fundamentally an instrument of aggression and is con­
~lVed of as an aide to the human body when the body alone is considered
madequate for the task of subduing and conquering.
. ~n today's world, rape is common. In the U.S., it is reported in highest
mc~dence amongst members of the Black population, with Black males
~pmg Black ~emales. There is said to be an approximately equal in­
Cidence of wh~te ~ales raping Black females as Black males raping white
females. The mctdence of white males raping white females is lowest. In
past decades, w bite male rape of Black females was of highest incidence.
Instead of breaking into the hysteria of the women's liberation
m?vement. regarding the issue of rape, I prefer to examine the meaning of
this be~v10r, commencing with male use of male genitalia. As I have
stated m all of my writings during the past 10 years, there is no behavior
that can be adequately understood and decoded outside the context of the
power relationships that exist amongst peoples. In today's world, the
most fu~darnental of all power relationships is that of white power versus
non,whlte (black, brown, red and yellow) powerlessness. The underlying
factors and forces that have led to the evolution of this specific power
system are 1) the numerical minority status of white-skinned peoples
glo~y, and 2) the fact that white skin is genetically recessive to the
. dommant genetic potential to produce melanin. If white-skinned peoples
had not evolved a global system in which they established power over the
wo~ld's non-white majority, the white collective would run the risk of
. wh1te genetic annihilation.
The fear of such annihilation has fnfluenced the white collective to
·· evolve, over ~e centuries, massive weapon systems-from simple to gross
mstruments of destruction and annihilation. This was done,
fundamentally, to "equalize" the genetic power for white collective
destruction, power possessed by the planet's men of color.
