“The Unconscious Reason Many Whites Resist Racial Equality and Justice for People of Color” by Jermaine Thomas
Many White people unconsciously (some consciously) believe that people of color are born biologically superior given their genetic dominance with respect to skin coloration. Genes create skin color, and the inability to do so is a genetic deficiency state (albinism), as skin color is the norm around the world. Thus, Whites come into the world at a biological disadvantage. If a person of color and a White person bore a child, that child will be born colored (i.e., whiteness is erased), as color is genetically dominant and whiteness is genetically recessive. This is what, in part, motivates segregation, as many White people don’t want to disappear, especially because they are the smallest group on the planet (10%). Black people are treated the worst by Whites because they have the most genetic potential to annihilate whiteness via reproduction. Thus, if people of color, and Black people especially, are situated within a system that guarantees equality with Whites, many Whites will feel inferior. This is why “in the 1929 copyright Tarzan at the Earth’s Core (13th in the series), Burrough’s explains in more detail:
‘[Tarzan] saw what he believed to be the real cause of his first embarrassment at his nakedness – it had been the whiteness of his skin that made him seem so naked by contrast with other cultures, for this whiteness had suggested softness and weakness, arousing within him a disturbing sensation of inferiority’” (Welsing, 1991, p. 30).
The sense of “softness and weakness” that a number of White people feel with respect to people of color and Black people especially is compensated for by physically or verbally aggressing against people of color without provocation, as this to make them feel strong. Additionally, they craft a system that makes life socially and materially unequal for people of color compared to Whites in order to bolster their esteem (Welsing, 1991, p. 30).
The system of White supremacy is a reaction to many Whites feeling biologically inferior to people of color, hence why Whites also tan, as many desire color. Many White people are not conscious of this, as this motivation is repressed for many, but it’s the key to unlocking what’s behind the color complex that so many White people have, and it explains the system White people created, benefit from, and/or aim to maintain. One might read this article and exclaim that it’s racist, and I say no, it’s a defense against the racism of the White collective and the White supremacy system that so few people understand.

That’s one way to look at this. But remember, they expressed those same behaviors against one another way before they ever saw a Black person.

By ‘people of color’ are we saying Black=Afrikan people are in the same group as an Arab, an Asian, an East Indian, Native Americans, etc.

“Black people are treated the worst by whites because they have the most genetic potential to annihilate whiteness via reproduction.”
If that is true then why is it that there are no known “full-blooded” Aboriginal people in the colony of Tasmania after their contact with the white colonizers.
If that is true then why is it that when the white colonizers got to the Aboriginal Australia they put a policy in place to breed out the existence of all the Australian because “they are a danger to themselves.” The extermination policy was to breed out Australian Aboriginal “blood” by the third generation. The policy was so effective that today most Aboriginal in Australia have mostly white European blood and diminished Australian Aboriginal blood, “half-caste” “half-breed”.
If that is true why is that the country of Argentina was able to exterminate its Black=Afrikan population through mostly encouraging its Black population to procreate with white Europeans to make the country “white”. Argentina received millions of enslaved Afrikans from the coast of West Afrika, but today the Black=Afrikan population in Argentina is less than 5%. Argentina was able to exterminate its Black population through encouraging the Black population to marry and procreate with white people to “better the race” and also through violence. Today, Argentina is known as a “white” country where most of its citizens try to trace their roots to Western Europe.
If that is the true, then why is Brazil known as a country that is majority mulattoes, mixed breeds, and white people. Most people in Brazil are programmed since they are young to marry and seek relationships with white people to “better the race.” Brazil is a country that is majority mulatto, mixed breeds and white people and majority of every Black person is encouraged to marry and procreate with white people to “better the race.” Brazil is the country that received the most enslaved Afrikans, but most Black people in Brazil are encouraged to breed out their Blackness and procreate with white people to “better the race.” Argentina is the country that Brazil hopes to be one day, a country that is majority white and its Black=Afrikan population is non-existent.
If that is true then why is the country Dominican Republic of majority mulatto, mixed breeds, and white people……
There are soo many countries that are following this policy of encouraging its Black population to marry and procreate with white people to eradicate its Black=Afrikan population into a more “white” country.
If that is true, then why is that a Black person that procreate with a white person looses all of his Blackness within the 3rd generation when his or offspring procreate with nothing but white people.
In no way I’m I more intelligent or brilliant than the Great, the Honorable, Nana Francis Cress Welsing, farrrr from it. In no way I’m I critiquing the great literary works of the Great the Honorable, Nana Francis Cress Welsing, I am just giving my analysis, point of view, and opinion on the Isis paper.

“If a person of color (Black=Afrikan person) and a white person bore a child, that child will be born colored (Black=Afrikan child).”
I believe this is a false psychological statement that is rampant within the Black community=Kmt=Abibiman.
Many Black=Afrikan pursue ‘bedroom colonialism’ because they believe if they have a child, the child is going to be Black=Afrikan. The Black community=Kmt is going to view the biracial child as Black=Afrikan. The world is going to view the biracial as Black=African.
In most Black=Afrikan people who procreate and engage in ‘bedroom colonialism’ with white people, in their minds they believe their mulatto, biracial, mixed child is Black=Afrikan anyway. To them having a child with a white person or a non-black person is the same as having a child with a Black=Afrikan person.
But, my question is,
Can the womb of a white woman give birth to a Black=Afrikan child?
Can a white man create or give birth to a Black=Afrikan child?
