Dr. Frances Cress Welsing: Author of The Isis Paper
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by Leshell Hatley in Faculty, Medicine, Medicine, News, Scholarly Celebrations
Frances Cress Welsing (born March 18, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois) is an African American psychiatrist practicing in Washington, D.C. She is noted for her “Cress Theory of Color Confrontation” (1970), which explores the practice of white supremacy. She is the author of The Isis Papers; The Keys to the Colors (1991).
Education
Antioch College, B.S., 1957; Howard University College of Medicine, M.D., 1962.
The Cress Theory of Color Confrontation
Cress Welsing states that this system is practiced by the global white minority, on both conscious and unconscious levels, to ensure their genetic survival by any means necessary. According to Cress Welsing, this system attacks people of color, particularly people of African descent, in the nine major areas of people’s activity: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war. Cress Welsing believes that it is imperative that people of color, especially people of African descent, understand how the system of white supremacy works in order to dismantle it and bring true justice to planet Earth.
In The Isis Papers she postulates the pseudoscientific supremacist hypothesis that white people are the genetically defective descendants of albino mutants. (See Melanin theory.) She posits that they may have been forcibly expelled from Africa, among other possibilities. Welsing proposes that, because it is so easy for pure whiteness to be genetically lost during interracial breeding, light-skinned peoples developed an aggressive colonial urge and their societies dominated others militarily in order to preserve this light-skinned purity. Welsing ascribes certain inherent and behavioral differences between black and white people to a “melanin deficiency” in white people:
| “ | On both St. Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts…. If his sweetheart ingests “chocolate with nuts,” the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male…. Is it not also curious that when white males are young and vigorous, they attempt to master the large brown balls, but as they become older and wiser, they psychologically resign themselves to their inability to master the large brown balls? Their focus then shifts masochistically to hitting the tiny white golf balls in disgust and resignation — in full final realization of white genetic recessiveness. | ” |
Welsing also claims that the prevalence of high blood pressure among African Americans is due to the fact that melanin exchanges “black photons” with other electrons and, therefore, picks up the negative energy vibrations from white people.
Debate with Dr. William Shockley
Back in 1974, Welsing debated Dr. William Shockley, the author of a theory of black genetic inferiority, on national public television. She is responsible for generating public discussion throughout the United States about the possible effects of melanin on behavior and culture. Black authors, psychiatrists, and lecturers have written studies and books on this subject, and a series of conferences about it have been held on the East and West Coasts.
Inspiration for Rap Group Public Enemy
In the early 1990s Welsing’s theory caused a stir in the media after a publicist for the popular rap group Public Enemy sent music reviewers copies of her 1970 essay along with advance tapes of the group’s new album, Fear of a Black Planet. Their publicist, Harry Allen, said in the Washington Post that Welsing’s paper “should be seen as some of the inspiration” for the album, the title song of which deals with racial purity and miscegenation (racial mixing).
Criticism
Welsing has been criticized for promoting an overtly racist ideology. She has also been criticized for claims that black male homosexuality is consciously imposed on the black man by the white man to destroy the black family, that black homosexuality is a sign of weakness and that homosexual patterns of behavior are simply expressions of black male self-submission to other males in the area of sex, as well as in other areas such as economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, and war.
