>Q: Do you believe Black people, in general, have a greater

>A: I gave a lecture last night and one of the people said that I had saved 
>her life, based on the understanding that she gained about what was 
>happening in the dynamic of racism. I get many letters from people . people 
>in prison who've said that it has helped them understand what has happened 
>to them in their lives and what is currently happening to them.

>Q: John Singleton's movie "Baby Boy" opens with a short explanation of your 
>theory on the effects of White supremacy on the development of Black males. 
>Do you think its portrayal of dysfunction was realistic? Effective?
>
>A: John Singleton read "The Isis Papers." He was impressed with some of the 
>ideas and that motivated him to do the film "Baby Boy." Columbia Pictures 
>contacted me. I said, well I have to read the script. And I had them modify 
>it. They made an initial statement that Dr. Francis Welsing says that Black 
>men are babies. I said that's not correct. I said that because of the 
>system of racism/White supremacy, Black males are sometimes caused to think 
>of themselves as babies. But they took out White supremacy and said it was 
>because of the system of racism.
>
>I think John Singleton wanted to give an explanation through an artistic, 
>creative production to try to tie in some of the concepts and things that 
>influence Black male behavior. The very fact that he tried to say something 
>about this terrible dynamic, I give him a lot of credit for attempting to 
>do that, because most of the films that we see certainly do not talk about 
>this system dynamic of racism.
>
>Q: Why do you think there is reluctance/refusal to use the term White 
>supremacy with the term racism?
>
>A: There are people who want to maintain the system of racism/White 
>supremacy. They don't want the victims of that system to have clarity as to 
>what's happening to them.
>
>Q: The recently published Scientific American magazine article "Skin Deep" 
>states that melanin is an evolutionary advantage. Please discuss that 
>article in relation to your theories. A: First of all, Black people were 
>the first people on the planet. Everybody, including White people, come 
>from Black people. White people are a genetic mutation or a genetic 
>deficiency state [which] is what causes skin to be White. Now, the article 
>doesn't talk about White skin in those terms. It talks about people 
>migrating north and therefore losing color. I maintain that's not at all 
>what happened. They lost the color through a genetic mutation to albinism, 
>which genetics defines as a genetic deficiency state and they were forced 
>out of Africa into Europe. Scientists who classify themselves as White 
>don't want to say [this]. You can't simultaneously think White is superior 
>and then say that White is a genetic deficiency state.
>
>Q: Genetically modified melanin (i.e. Epitan, Melanotan) is now being 
>combined with libido-enhancing properties. Please discuss this new 
>"commodity" in relation to your theory on the reasons for White supremacy.
>
>A: I am not at all surprised. The mania to suntan [and] the new chemical 
>and genetic techniques that they are developing to allow people to have 
>skin coloration is evidence that they feel at deep subconscious levels that 
>something is missing and something is wrong. White people are developing 
>techniques to increase their fertility and give them skin coloration; at 
>the same time you have mass murder on the continent of Africa of Black 
>people, a people who already have melanin pigmentation. You have White 
>supremacy through HIV/AIDS killing tens of millions of people on the 
>continent of Africa. I have often thought that maybe the White supremacy 
>mind or the genetic deficiency state of albinism, that mindset [says], 
>"well, let me kill off all of the people who already have color and then I 
>will develop for myself a way to produce color."
>
>
>A: I look at the system of racism having come into being consciously 
>because the White population recognized, after they circumnavigated the 
>globe, that they were a tiny minority, fewer that one-tenth of the people 
>on the planet. And they were genetic-recessive compared to the genetic 
>dominance of people who produce color. They realized that they could be 
>genetically annihilated and White people could, as a collective of people, 
>disappear. They worked out a system for White survival, which entails 
>dominating all of the Black, Brown, Red and Yellow people on the planet. So 
>racism is a behavioral system for the survival of White people. I would 
>advise Black people and other people of color that since the practice of 
>racism is the practice of White genetic survival, that the expectation that 
>people who classify themselves as White can change this behavior is a high 
>level expectation. Black people [must] finally understand that White people 
>are playing a White survival game [which] has to inferiorize the 
>functioning of Black and other people of color.
>
>Well, how do we come out of the inferiorized state? We have to devise those 
>means of behavior that are going to allow for the maximal development of 
>the Black genetically constituted potential. That begins with how we relate 
>to the behavior of sex. If we want to produce strong Black males and 
>females, then we have to realize that White supremacy is not going to set 
>up the conditions where that will happen because they are in fear of strong 
>Black, Brown, Red and Yellow people. The[y] set up a dynamic where you end 
>up with large numbers of teenagers and children reproducing, single parents 
>reproducing and not being able to guide the development of male children to 
>functional adult male status. Black people [should] have quality control of 
>Black reproduction. Well, how do we go about it? You have to have mature 
>parents. You have to have parents who are married. If I could wave the 
>magic wand, Black people wouldn't have sex until they got married and they 
>wouldn't get married until they were 30. In the meantime, they would be 
>going to school.
>
>Q: War is one of the areas of people activity, and seeing that the U.S. 
>government is about to go to war in Iraq, it may be appropriate for you to 
>give your opinions about this area of people activity.
>
>A: The first war that we have to understand is the war of White supremacy 
>against non-White people all over the globe. And from that vantage point, 
>what is happening in the Middle East, I have labeled it WWIII. WWI and WWII 
>were about the people who classify themselves as White dividing up the 
>planet and taking control over non-White people. WWIII is this: if all of 
>the resources are in the areas of the world where non-White people are, 
>then people who classify themselves as White can go in and take those 
>resources. [They] set up whatever pretense is needed to justify going in 
>and taking control over those resources. The non-White people are not 
>supposed to have any means to protect and defend themselves from this 
>ultimate aggression.
>
>Q: Is there anything else you'd like to say to The Final Call audience?
>
>A: I am suggesting that for the sake of Black mental health and for Black 
>intelligence that all people of color must understand the dynamic of 
>racism/White supremacy, what it is and how it works, so that they can have 
>an appropriate, self-respecting response to racism. Television is 
>indoctrinating Black people to think of themselves as buffoons and clowns 
>and trashy people. By understanding racism you will understand that this is 
>what the system of racism survives on. As long as we are disrespecting 
>ourselves and acting in a stupid, demeaning manner, this furthers the 
>dynamic of racism/White supremacy and we need to give a lot of thought to 
>that and decide that we are not going to participate in it.
