As Dr. Wilson explains very eloquently in Black Child Development Under WhiteSupremacy , the cognitive, psychomotor , psychological and affective development of

the Black (Afrikan) child is grounded in an overstanding of Afrikan peoples history andculture and the neurobiology of neuromelanin. For the past fifteen years"The MelaninSystems of Afrikan People" has been my primary area of research focus and thenexus of my current pedagogical approach. What follows are some opening volleys intomy work. My thesis is that "Afrikan peoples cultural development, education andsocialization (social sciences) are grounded in biological science/ biochemistry (i.e., afostering of functional melaninization)." My academic approach is simultaneouslyhistorocultural, sociopolitical, psychoeducational and moro-spiritual.

LETS START WITH A QUICK REVIEW OF OUR MELANIN SCHOLARS FINDINGS:

Melanin, a widely distributed pigment in the natural world, found in all humans, has anumber of extraordinary properties that are best manifested in Afrikan people. Melaninis a superconductor that absorbs all frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum and

converts sound energy and light energy to kinetic energy reversibly. In addition, melanincan function as a minicomputer to process information. It is involved in the regulation ofall psychological and physiological processes of the human body. Afrikan people,having the highest and most functional form of melanin (eumelanin) have bettermuscular coordination (which makes us better athletes) and mentally superior. Today, itis well documented that humans evolved as blacks in Africa, and whites are mutants(albinos, or melanin recessives) (Welsing 1989; King 1991). Dr. Welsing (1989; 1991)uses the notion of whites as melanin recessives to explain white racism on a "scientific"basis. She professes that white men have to destroy black men in self defense becauseblack men have the potential to destroy white men genetically. Dr. Welsing teaches usthat a white child can only be produced by having a white mother and father. She goes

on to explain that all other combinations can only produce black children, and that blackmen are considered dangerous because they are the greatest threat to white geneticannihilation. Thus, the conspiracy to destroy black males.

The high rates of murder, of imprisonment, and of drug use, as well as the high rates ofunemployment among black males, are evidence for the conspiracyDr. Wade Nobles (1989) states that whites stopped evolving with the development ofthe central nervous system (CNS), but that blacks continued to evolve an essentialmelanic system (EMS). From this he develops an "equation": CNS + EMS = HB (humanbeing) - that is, whites are not fully human. Dr. Richard King (1991), express the sameidea in his term hue-man instead of "human," connoting that only people with color are

truly human.

The first step of the biosynthetic pathway for both eumelanins andpheomelanins is catalysed by tyrosinase:

Tyrosine DOPA dopaquinone

Dopaquinone can combine with cysteine by two pathways tobenzothiazines and pheomelanins

Dopaquinone + cysteine 5-S-cysteinyldopa benzothiazineintermediate pheomelanin

Dopaquinone + cysteine 2-S-cysteinyldopa benzothiazineintermediate pheomelanin

Alternatively, dopaquinone can be converted to leucodopachromeand follow two more pathways to the eumelanins

If dopamine is depleted, such as in cocaine addiction, the body will attempt to replenishthe dopamine by increasing its synthesis. That mean tyrosine will now be shunted awayfrom melanin synthesis. So, in short, for those of us that have brain functions that aremore dependent on neuromelanin (people of Afrikan descent), those areas will becomecompromised.

"Melanin is a conductor and a stable free radical, holding positive charges,balanced by counter anions and exhibiting a small gap, 1.4 eV. Experimental

data, molecular modeling studies andmolecular quantum mechanics calculationsagree describing DHI-melanin, the best known synthetic melanin , as a structurefundamentally constituted by repetitive units of 5-gem-diol-indol-6-one linked at4,7 positions (VII). Electric and conformational properties explain different rolesofmelanins. As a UV filter and a radical scavenger black it has a protectivefunction in epithelial tissue; in dopaminergic neurons ofsubstantia nigra,an areaof the brain involved in fine motor control, it can act as a conductor allowing rapidelectron passage which, generating a magnetic field, can sense the Earth's fieldand control movements.

Melanin in humans

In humans, melanin is the primary determinant of human skin color and also found in

hair, the pigmented tissue underlying the iris, the medulla and zona reticularis of the

adrenal gland, the stria vascularis of the inner ear, and in pigment-bearing neurons

within areas of the brain stem, such as the locus ceruleus and the substantia nigra.

Dermal melanin is produced by melanocytes, which are found in the stratum basale of

the epidermis. Although human beings generally possess a similar concentration of

melanocytes in their skin, the melanocytes in some individuals and ethnic groups more

frequently or less frequently express the melanin-producing genes, thereby conferring a

greater or lesser concentration of skin melanin. Some individual animals and humans

have very little or no melanin in their bodies, a condition known as albinism.

Because melanin is an aggregate of smaller component molecules, there are a number

8/3/2019 The Role of Melanin In Our Afrikan Re-Education / ReAfrikanization Process Marc Imhotep Cray, M.D.

11/40

RBG Street Scholars Think Tank 11

The RBG Melanins Paper/ Marc Imhotep Cray,M.D. 2009

of different types of melanin with differing proportions and bonding patterns of these

component molecules. Both pheomelanin and eumelanin are found in human skin and

hair, but eumelanin is the most abundant melanin in humans, as well as the form most

likely to be deficient in albinism.

Eumelanin polymers have long been thought to comprise numerous cross-linked 5,6-

dihydroxyindole (DHI) and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) polymers;

recent research into the electrical properties of eumelanin, however, has indicated that it

may consist of more basic oligomers adhering to one another by some other

mechanism. Thus, the precise nature of eumelanin's molecular structure is once again

the object of study. Eumelanin is found in hair and skin, and colors hair grey, black,

yellow, and brown. In humans, it is more abundant in peoples with dark skin. There are

two different types of eumelanin, which are distinguished from each other by their

pattern of polymer bonds. The two types are black eumelanin and brown eumelanin,

with black melanin being darker than brown. Black eumelanin is in mostly non-

Europeans and aged Europeans, while brown eumelanin is in mostly young Europeans.

A small amount of black eumelanin in the absence of other pigments causes grey hair.

A small amount of brown eumelanin in the absence of other pigments causes yellow

(blond) color hair.

Pheomelanin is also found in hair and skin and is both in lighter skinned humans and

darker skinned humans. In general women have more pheomelanin than men, and thus

women's skin is generally redder than men's. Pheomelanin imparts a pink to red hue

and, thus, is found in particularly large quantities in red hair. Pheomelanin is particularly

concentrated in the lips, nipples, glans of the penis, and vagina. Pheomelanin also may

become carcinogenic when exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Chemically,

pheomelanin differs from eumelanin in that its oligomer structure incorporates

benzothiazine units which are produced instead of DHI and DHICA when the amino acid

L-cysteine is present.

Neuromelanin is the dark pigment present in pigment bearing neurons of four deep

brain nuclei: the substantia nigra (in Latin, literally "black substance") - Pars Compacta

part, the locus ceruleus ("blue spot"), the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve

(cranial nerve X), and the median raphe nucleus of the pons. Both the substantia nigra

and locus ceruleus can be easily identified grossly at the time of autopsy due to their

dark pigmentation. In humans, these nuclei are not pigmented at the time of birth, but

develop pigmentation during maturation to adulthood. Although the functional nature of

neuromelanin is unknown in the brain, it may be a byproduct of the synthesis of

monoamine neurotransmitters for which the pigmented neurons are the only source.

The loss of pigmented neurons from specific nuclei is seen in a variety of

neurodegenerative diseases. In Parkinson's disease there is massive loss of dopamine

producing pigmented neurons in the substantia nigra. A common finding in advanced

Alzheimer's disease is almost complete loss of the norepinephrine producing pigmented

neurons of the locus coeruleus. Neuromelanin has been detected in primates and in

carnivores such as cats and dogs.

The Melanin System mediates the advanced exactness of brain-mind

(neuropsychological) interactions, which are most fine-tuned in Afrikan people. None

other than melanin is the biochemical that coordinates and conjuncts thought feelings,

memory, creativity and imagination. It is the system that controls Afrikan peoples

sophisticated perception; precisely guiding us into the true and otherwise hidden nature

of things. It is our six-sense system enabling our ability to be intuitively award of all

things around us. In addition to sensitizing our taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell;

the Melanin System makes accurate our have a feeling about quality. What is most,

the Melanin System is responsible for facilitating Afrikan peoples direct knowledge

and awareness of the God Force; even without conscious reasoning and/or attention.

explain. When we reflect on the psychocultural and educational foundation of Western

society, we appreciate that it exclusively develops and maintains the left hemisphere of

the brain (the intellectual, logical, articulate, concrete brain). This is the brain that

differentiates between things, separating wholes into parts, analyzing and enabling us to

deal only with sequential phenomena. The left brain (the primary and predominate

brain of the European group) is segmented, serial, linear, deductive, segregative and

material/tangible grounded. On the other hand, the right hemisphere of the brain (the

primary and predominate brain of our Afrikan ancestors) mediates spiritual, abstract,

creative, artistic, artistic, athletic and rhythmic phenomena. This is the brain that motes

similarities between things and relates them to each other and the wholethus

unifying. Our right brain provides a mode of thinking that is synthetical, holistic,

dynamic, congregative and metaphysically/spiritually grounded. Keeping this dictomy in

mind, let us review three salient points:

(1) the brain as a whole (both hemispheres included and structurally-functionally

communicating) is a large mass of nerve tissue (nerve cells or neurons) enclosed in the

cranium (skull) responsible for interpretation of sensory impulses, control of body

coordination and the center of thought and emotion

(2) the mind is the abstract element of the human being which controls perception,

thought, feeling, memory, creativity and imaginationthe most advanced level of the

functional mind yielding the creative power of GOD (THE UNIVERSAL SPIRIT)

(3) and finally, the spirit, is the vital essence of man, considered divine in origin; the

part of the body characterized by personality, character, morals, ethics and self-

consciousness. Now, lets further understand Fact #2. The mind is an extracorporeal

(of a non-material nature) entity most refinely expressed through the pineal body (a

posterior located cerebral/ brain structure which is by in large calcified / afunctional in

greater than seventy-five percent of persons of European descent by the time they

reach adulthood). On the other hand, because Afrikan people have twelve specific

structural locations in their brains, which are significantly melaninized (high in

neuromenlanin concentration) a functional pineal gland is biophysiologically necessary.

But Why? Well, when the pineal gland is stimulated it releases melatonin, which in turn

results in increased neuromelanin production. This neuromelanin is the necessary

neurochemical substance (mediator) required to maintain optimal functioning of Afrikan

peoples twelve brain Melanin Centers. Clearly, in persons who dont have as much of

a dependence upon neuromelanin for normal neuropsycological (brain-mind)

functioning, this mechanism is not as sophisticated (remember the vast majority of

Europeans have a calcified/afunctional pineal gland). Henceforth, it is melanin,

(neuromelanin specially) that biochemically mediates the phenomena of the most

refined mind (expressed through the pineal body). Because the most advanced level

of functional mind yields the creative power of GOD, neuromelanin gives Afrikan

people a neurobiologically based scientific connection with the God-Force (THE

UNIVERSAL SPIRIT) not possible in left brain dominate, amelaninized (without

Eumelanin) cultures and people. Analysis, research and synthesis of concepts such as

these have elevated the melanin system concept (notion) to the level of an operational

scientifically base precept (fact).

INTRODUCTION: THE HU-MAN WAS FIRST

Today it is well known that the birthplace of humanity was around the East Afrikan GreatLake region, around the Omo Valley. Being located almost on the equator, in

accordance with Gloger Law (warm-blooded animals in a hot humid climate are

necessarily pigmented) the mothers and fathers of humanity; the maker, shapers,

fashioners and molders of civilization, were our black (melanized) Afrikan ancestors. All

of todays human forms: Afrikan, Asian, European, Latino and Oceanic are very recent

offspring of their Afrikan (melanized) black parents. If it were not for melanin, just as if it

were not for the hear or the lungs, human life as we know it would not exist. Let us

explore how these black seeds of humanity come into form.

BIOLOGICAL ORGIN OF MELANINS

The wonder of human reproduction begins with the male sperm fertilizing the female

egg, thus giving rise to an embryo (a developing human being). Following fertilization

this newly formed

Zygote rapidly divides and grows into three distinct cell layers known as primary germ

layers (the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm). The primary germ layers give rise to

the various body parts that comprise the completely developed fetus. The ectoderm or

outer germ layer is where melanin is produced. Specifically, this ectodermal tissue

invaginates to form the spinal column, the end of which balloons out, becoming the

brain. Melanocytes (cells that secrete melanin) and the skin among other structures are

also produced by the ectodermal germ layer. In the core of the brain are fond twelve

black nerve tissue masses (known as brain nuclei) or melanated centers. The twelfth of

these centers: and therefore the highest, is the locus coeruleus (1). The (LC) is

pivotal in our understanding of the Melanin, Afri-Essence, God-Force Connection,

consequently, we will revisit this structure in more detail further on in our development.

THE FUNCTION OF MELANIN

We have been lead to believe that melanin is simply the biochemical substance that

gives our skin, hair and eyes there color. Although these structural characteristics do in

fact have life support functional significance, they are only a few of many organizing,

unifying and protecting features of the Melanin System. For instance, **melanins

(misnomered in the singular, melanin) comprise a system in people of Afrikan descent

that yields structural-functional perfectness. Truly a blessing and GOD given gift,

melanin renders Afrikan people physically, mentally and spiritually flawless; having no

defects, deficits or faults, Dermatomelanin (in the derms of the skin), Retinomelanin (in

the retina/nerve cell of vision), Iridomelanin (in the iris of the eye), Organomelanin (in

the internal organs of the body), Nucleomelain (surrounding protecting the biogenetic

subcellular apparatus of human life [DNA and RNA] and Neuromelanin (in the central

nervous system/brain and spinal cord) give Afrikan people refined mind, body and soul

unification. Neuromelanin mediates the advanced exactness of brain-mind interactions.

It coordinates and conjuncts thought, feelings, memory, creativity and imagination.

It is the system that controls Afrikan peoples sophisticated perception, precisely

guiding us into the true and otherwise hidden nature of things. Neuromelanin facilitates

the transfer of chemicals through the nervous system thus speeding nerve impulses

throughout the brain. Our awareness of the environment is made possible by the

integrated function go nervous system tissue. Neuromelanin enhances both the

excitability and conductivity to give us an optimal level of performance. This facilitation

process has the effect of find tuning Afrikan peoples sense of smell, taste, touch, sight

and hearing. Moreover, neuromelanin makes accurate our having a feeling about

quality. What is most, the Melanin System is responsible for facilitating Afrikan people

direct knowledge and awareness of the God-Force. Let us explain.

AFRICAN CONCEPT OF GOD

We must remember that Afrikan religion and philosophy consides the human being thecenter for the universe. This notion makes us ascribe human attributes to the God-

Force as human; in fact both ancient and traditional Afrikan conceptions maintain that

the God-Force is beyond human experience. Although the former and the latter views

may at first glance appear contradictory, the foundation of ***Afrikan thought has as

one of its central themes the idea that the world is ordered in accordance with the

principle of how opposites co-exist and interact. That is to say, the science of Afrikan

religion and philosophy informs us that there are two realms in our universeexistence

and no-existence. The world is seen as being two in one. A duality of void and matter,

spiritual and physical, invisible and visible and/or the unconscious and the conscious.

The Universal Being (GOD) also referred to as the Universal force, Universal Energy

and/or God-Force (for in Afrikan religion these concepts are one and the same) is not

manifest in itself but through its opposite/complement, the physical. Dr. John S. Mbiti

describes this duality in his classic work African Religion and Philosophy as the visible

and invisible: The invisible world is symbolized or manifested by those visible and

concrete phenomena and objects of nature. The invisible world presses hard upon the

visible world. This is one of the most fundamental religious heritages of African

peoplesthe physical and the spiritual are but two dimensions of one and the same

universe.(1)

RIGHT BRAIN AS AGAINST THE LEFT BRAIN

The psycho-culture and educational foundation of Western society exclusively develops

and maintains the left hemisphere of the brain (the intellectual, logical, articulate,

concrete brain). This is the brain that differentiates between things, separating wholes

into parts, analyzing and enabling us to deal with sequential phenomena. The left brain

(the primary and predominate brain used by the European group) is segmented serial,

linear, deductive and segregative and material/tangible grounded. On the side, the right

hemisphere of the brain (the primary and predominate brain used by our Afrikan

ancestors) mediates spiritual, abstract, creative, astatic, artistic, athletic and rhythmic

phenomena. This is the brain that notes similarities between things and relates them to

each other and the wholethus unifying. Our right brain provides a mode of thinking

that is synthetical, holistic, dynamic, congregative and metaphysical/intangible

grounded. Given this dictomy, we can appreciate that most present day Afrikans in

America are literally out of their Afrikan (right brain) mind.

(1) The brain as a whole (both hemispheres included and structurally-functionally

communicating) is a large mass of nerve tissue (nerve cells) enclosed in the cranium

(skull) responsible for interpretation of sensory impulses, control of body coordination

and the center of thought and emotion.

(2) the mind is the abstract element of the human being, which controls perception;

thought, feeling, memory, creativity and imagination. The most advanced level of the

functional mind (he/she who has obtained Divine Universal Consciousness) allows there

to be a connection of the invisible order with the visible orderthe spiritual

(transcendent) with the physical (immanent), the HU-MAN with the GOD-FORCE.

(3) And finally, the spirit is the vital essence of man, considered divine in origin; the partof the human characterized by personality, character, morals, ethics and self-

consciousness. The intertwining and interconnectedness of mental thought (the mind)

and Divine Universal Consciousness (the spirit) emerges due to the phenomenology of

the Afrikan Melanin System.

NEUROMELANIN, THE LOCUS COERULEUS AND THE PINEAL GLAND

As mentioned earlier in this essay, neuromelnin (brain melanin) serves to facilitate the

transfer of chemicals (neurotransmitters) through the nervous system, thus speeding

nerve impulses in the brain. Dr. T. Owens Moore, a specialist in brain and behavior

relationships, in his excellent book The Science of Melanin sums this point up as

follows: Neuromelanin may affect neurons in their vicinity by storing energy and using it

for future neural transmission. Depending on the brain region, the spread of stored

energy in certain locations of the brain can enhance mental abilities that are associated

with the particular brain region. What we are saying is that there are parallel

relationships between the twelve-melinated nerve tissue masses in the brain and

catecholamine neurotransmitters (chemical mediators of nerve impulse transmission

like dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine). Neuromelanin enhances the function of

these brain chemicals. One of the nerve masses (brain nuclei) is the locus coeruleus

(LC). The (LC) secretes the neurotransmitter nonepinephrine and is black block in color

because of its large melanin content. Dr. Richard King, in his classic book African Origin

of Biological Psychiatry asserts that the locus coeruleus is the structural brain site

responsible for linking the Afrikan mind to the spiritual worldthe (LC) is literally a brain

doorway to the collective unconscious. Dr. King further teaches us that the twelve black

pigmented brain sites make up the Ameta The black neuromelanin (Amenta) brain

nerve tract, headed by the (LC) with multiple upper brain connections is a critical path

followed by unconscious memory images as they move upward to become

conscious.(3)

The pineal gland, also known as the eye of Horus, is momentous to how the (LC) and

neuromelanin link. Functionally the operation of the pineal gland is directed by sunlight

(you will recall that ancient Afrikan mythology refers to the sun as GOD-RA and

darkness. During darkness the pineal gland releases melatonin. Melatonin acts upon

our unconscious (dream) systemfacilitated by neuromelaninto increase the

movement of sensory images from the unconscious level to the level of consciousness.

It has been well documented that the capacity for brain melanin functioning is greater in

people of Afrikan descent. This is because there appears to be a strong relationship

with pineal gland calcification and reduced release of melatonin. Adult Afrikans have a

recorded pineal calcification incidence rate of 5-15%.

Whereas, Europeans experience a pineal gland calcification incidence rate of 60% to

80% by adulthood. Dr. King explains this difference as follows: Perhaps with only of

the melatonin key to unl0ck the locus coeruleus doorway to neuromelanin all Black

Amenta (inner vision), many European-Afrikans with pineal calcification had access to

only surface levels of the unconscious

CONCLUSION: KEYS TO THE SPIRITUAL DOOR OF BLACKNESS

At the outset we defined Afri-Essence as having an Afrikan basis or Afrikan cultural

perspective. This author believes that the challenges that Afrikans in America will be

confronted with in the 21st century (given the current repressive climate of America)

make it mandatory that our personal and collective character be based on the rescue

and restoration of a revolutionary Africentric spirituo-cultural paradigm and praxis. We

must recapture a wisdom that is informed by cosmic inter-relationships; appraising the

meaning of our existence and being motivated and guided by that meaning. Thus, our

cultural development must above all else transform us spirituallyreconnect us with

spiritual, holistic, syntheical metaphysical Afrikan (right brain) mind. Such a mindset will

enable us to relate thoughts to feelings, thereby bringing fourth clairvoyant (insightful)

understanding. This cognitive/affective sense is best transmitted through our having an

ancestral (transcendent) adjainment. We can best tap into our ancestral collective

unconscious memory (the spiritual door of blackness) by proper mediation and serious

study. Dr. George G. M. James is his monumental work, Stolen Legacy, teaches us thatthe purpose of education in the Ancient Kemetic System was deification through

salvation. Salvation being the elevation of ones self to a spiritual level.(5) It was at that

paint that the individual connected and communicated with the God-Force. It was

through the use of the Ten Virtues, Negative Confessions and Seven Liberal Arts that

our ancestors were able to obtain Divine Universal Consciousness. Consequently, in

order for us to come back to black (realizing that melanins are the enhancers and

facilitators of Afrikan peoples connection to the spiritual world) we need only consider

and begin daily use of Maatian Principles, The Nguzo Saba, Metu Neter, The Way and

Prayer and Mediation. These are the keys to opening the spiritual door of Blackness,

making complete the Melanin, Afri-Essence, God-Force Connection.

In their ongoing effort to physically, mentally and spiritually destroy people

of color, oppressors (scientists, chemists) create designer drugs that arespecially structured to chemically bind with the melanin molecule and cause

melanin to become toxic to Blacks! The molecules of these drugs resemblethe Melanin molecule. The body is thus fooled and its balance is thrown off

as it relies on contaminated melanin in order to function. Major culpritsinclude heroin, cocaine/crack, ecstasy and yes, marijuana.

Blacks get addicted faster, stay addicted longer, and suffer the worse...from

these drugs which are deliberately placed in Black communities. In his vitalbook, MELANIN: The Chemical Key to Black Greatness, essential reading forall Melanated People, Carol Barnes clearly documents this subject along withthe wonders of Melanin. He shows how illegal drugs alter or change

Melanins chemical structure and thus alter many life supporting functions.Toxic drugs and chemicals are destroying the heart of the Black community

and causing many deaths. Barnes writes: MELANIN can become toxic to theBLACK HUMAN because it combines with harmful drugs such as cocaine,

amphetamines, hallucinogens, neuroleptic (tranquilizers), marijuana, agentorange...parquets, tetracyclines...

Toxic drugs such as cocaine, LSD, and even marijuana are very similar toMelanin and the sub-units that make up the Melanin substance. Many

health-conscious Blacks consider marijuana to be a safe healthy herb, notrealizing that once this (or any herb) is cooked, it becomes a drug as far

as your body is concerned!

Even legal drugs (tetracyclines, neuroleptics, etc.) have a remarkable affinityfor reacting with or binding to Melanin and may be toxic to all Melanin

centers in the Black human.

Other culprits which bind with Melanin and cause death for Blacks arearomatic and lipid compounds. Melanin shows extreme affinity for binding

with aromatic and lipid compounds. Lipid means fat. Lipid or fatcompounds (fatty acids) are animal and vegetable oil /fats used for frying

and cooking. Examples are shortening and corn oil. Aromatic compounds

contain benzene, a major component of gasoline.

Herbicides (parquets, agent orange, etc.) bind irreversibly with Melanin andremain in the Black human throughout life causing many disorders. Hence

Blacks especially, should buy organically grown food.

Most Blacks test positive in the urine test for marijuana! People having highlevels of Melanin or a high number of pigmented centers, such as the Blackhuman, tend to show a positive test for the use of marijuana because thechemical species found in the urine which indicates someones use of

marijuana is also found in the urine of Black humans.

MELANIN: GODS GIFT TO THE BLACKMAN

We have been lead to believe that melanin is simply a biochemical substance

that gives our skin its hue (the skin pigment that gives us our darkness).Although this anatomical (structural) characteristic does in fact have life(cell) supporting physiologic (functional) significance, it is only one of the

many life (cell) protecting, unifying and organizing features of the *AfrikanMelanin System. Melanins (misnomered melanin) comprise a system inpeople of Afrikan descent that yields structural-functional perfectness. Trulya blessing and God given gift, melanins render Afrikan people physically,

mentally and spiritually flawless; having no defects, deficits or faults.

Nucleomelanin (surrounding/ protecting the biogenetic subcellularapparatus of human life [DNA and RNA], to name a few, gives the

The Melanin System mediates the advanced exactness of brain-mind(neuropsychological) interactions, which are most fine-tuned in Afrikanpeople. None other than melanin is the biochemical that coordinates and

conjuncts thought feelings, memory, creativity and imagination. It is thesystem that controls Afrikan peoples sophisticated perception; precisely

guiding us into the true and otherwise hidden nature of things. It is our six-sense system enabling our ability to be intuitively award of all things around

us. In addition to sensitizing our taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell; theMelanin System makes accurate our have a feeling about quality. What is

most, the Melanin System is responsible for facilitating Afrikan peoples

direct knowledge and awareness of the God Force; even without consciousreasoning and/or attention. This, as well as all of the aforementioned

phenomena, is by no means purely metaphysical. Rather, it is abiophsiologically and scientifically grounded truth. Let us explain. When we

reflect on the psychocultural and educational foundation of Western society,we appreciate that it exclusively develops and maintains the left hemisphere

of the brain (the intellectual, logical, articulate, concrete brain). This is thebrain that differentiates between things, separating wholes into parts,analyzing and enabling us to deal only with sequential phenomena. The leftbrain (the primary and predominate brain of the European group) is

segmented, serial, linear, deductive, segregative and material/tangiblegrounded. On the other hand, the right hemisphere of the brain (the primary

that motes similarities between things and relates them to each other and

the wholethus unifying. Our right brain provides a mode of thinking that issynthetical, holistic, dynamic, congregative and metaphysically/spiritually

grounded. European medicine and biological science dominatescontemporary studies of biochemistry, physiology, neurobiology,

endocrinology, psychology and psychiatry. These disciplines reveal

themselves as yet another form of alien intrusion and cultural imposition onthe Afrikan (melaninized) mothers and fathers of humanity and civilization.It is not strange, but true, that the essence of human blackness (melanin,

melatonin, tyrosinase, stimulating hormone, melanocytes and the pinealgland) is today defined, studied and mystified according to the techniques,theories and methods of the Europeans group.

Therefore, it appears indispensable for us to demonstrate how their

points of view are short sighted, untenable and outright scientificallyracist. The scientific evidence of Melanin threatens the life of white

supremacy.

See:

The Science And The Myth Of Melanin by T. Owens Moore

After considering Melanin to be a waste product of body-metabolism which

served no useful function, Western science has now discovered that Black

Melanin (neuromelanin) is the chemical key to life and the brain itself. All thestudies, facts, and statistics about Melanin suggest that after four hundred

years of attempting to interiorize the Black race, Western science is facingthe sobering reality that, by its own self-defined standards, Black people areprobably superior to whites in both intellectual potential and musclecoordination. 2 The central role that melanin plays in the body has been

suppressed to maintain the mythological inferiority of blacks...and thedefensive clinging to whiteness as some token of superiority.

It also possesses the unique ability to absorb various energy sources and

convert these absorbed energies in to re-usable energy, this includes

mediums such as; Music vibration and sound waves, the sun rays, sun heat,light rays etc. Most whites have calcified pineal glands apparently thwartingtheir production of Melatonin.

Why did Afrikans view the European as a child of God, but the Europeansviewed the Afrikan as a soulless savage? Because of melatonin, described

as a mentally and morally stimulating hormone produced by the pineal

gland.

Accord ing to scientific research, most w hites are unable producemuch of this hormone because their pineal glands are often calcified

and non-functioning. The pineal calcification rates w ith Afrikans is 5-15% ; Asians 15-25% ; Europeans 60-80%!

Dr. Richard Kings states W hen we talk about cultural differences,some black scholars have raised the question that the Europeanapproach, that of the logical, erect, rigid, anti-feeling posture,

reflects a left brain orientation and reflects that they lack thechemical key [melatonin] to turn on their unconscious and therefore

cannot get into feelings...

Carol Barnes writes Melanin is responsible for the existence of civilization,philosophy, religion, truth, justice, and righteousness. Individuals (whites)

containing low levels of Melanin will behave in a barbaric manner. Melaningives humans the ability to FEEL because it is the absorber of all frequencies

of energy. Since whites have the least amount of Melanin, this is why theyare perceived by People of Color as generally being rigid, unfeeling

(heartless), cold, calculating, mental, and unspiritual. Their historicalbehavior towards nonwhites often confirms this.

The superiority complex of white people is a mask for their deep-set

inferiority complex which they project onto people of color. They have aninferiority complex about their lack of color in a world where everyone else

(the majority) is colored. If Albinos really believed white skin was superior,then why is tanning so important in white culture despite its known health

risks? (Thousands of whites die annually from skin cancer). In fact, Albinosare now making Melanin tanning ointments. The Wall Street Journal(8/26/88) reported that companies are developing Melanin-based productsto help whites tan safely: a California company is developing a Melanin

ointment that blocks the entire spectrum of burning ultraviolet rays;researchers in Arizona are testing an ointment that stimulates the skin to

produce a natural melanin tan before you go out to the sunlight. The whiteman or white species is a genetically defective species.

Melanin absorb and hold on to toxic chemicals, such as drugs ofabuse

The above mentioned withstanding, to appreciate the hue-man organizing,unifying and protecting nature of melanin completely is to be clear on somesalient historical and current facts about European cultural banditry and

domination, political oppression, social degradation, socio-materialexploitation, etc.; as they relate to the current functional amelanization of

the vast majority of Afrikans throughout the world. Due to the nomadic,zenophobic and war mongrel nature and nurture of the European group

against their least be known to them, color producing (melanized)foreparents; since first contact (some 3,0005,000 years ago) they

(Europeans) have used everything from scriptures to science (from social

theory to biology) to dehumanize, de-Afrikanize and inferioritize, rape,murder, maim and ahistority Afrikan people. When all is said and done, all of

their death walks and rains of terror on Afrikan descended people were/aredue to one major factor, namely, Afrikan descended people (as against

Europeans) produce color (Eumenlanin). *The whole racestratificatin/classification was/is a European creation meant to establish,

maintain, expand and refine white world supremacy (racism); RBG STREETSCHOLARS THINK TANK will use this terminology only as a means to anenddefining race as a group of people united or classified together on thebasis of common history, nationality and geographical distribution. The

ultimate end is for us to view all races of people as onediffering onlybecause of migration and geographical/ecological circumstances/conditions.
