I wrote an article about "The Melanin Theory", link down below. “Racism and white aggression are the result of a lack of melanin. This genetic deficiency is responsible for the hostility of whites towards black people…”. This sentence of Frances Cress Welsing summarizes the ideology that has governed part of the Black Conscious Community in the last few years. The African American community has always had nationalist and separatist leaders within it, just think for example of Marcus Garvey or Martin Delany, but never before have we reached such extreme Afrocentrism and racism as in recent years. The African American academic community has transformed over time into what it initially fought for. If before it was important to fight for civil rights and equality against discrimination and injustice, now it is vitally important to enhance and “scientifically” prove the black supremacy. Academic theories on white racial inferiority arise from a deep resentment that has its roots in various events in history, such as the slave trade or American racial segregation, which have profoundly affected the black community. It is precisely this resentment that has led, starting from the 90's, to the spread of “Melanin theory”, a form of reverse racism and opposite image of white supremacism, deeply rooted and widely supported within the Afrocentric community. Among the proponents of this doctrine there are the so-called “melanists“ or “melanin researchers”, as Frances Cress Welsing, Leonard Jeffries, Carol Barnes, Naim Akbar And Anthony T. Browder and many others. #melanin #pseudoscience #blacksupremacy #melanintheory #blackcommunity #afrocentrism
