[Special Note: Throughout this treatment it is assumed that everyone is aware that all human life originated in and variously migrated out of Africa into the rest of the
world and that skin color pigmentations (Y Chromosomes) are uniquely African in origin. Therefore, all people are Africans and race developed along superficial
external characteristics is a dubious concept at best. Whereas; skin pigmentation is biologically determined over time; since prehistoric times by natural adaptations
to life style, climatic conditions and exposure to the Sun or the lack there of as endured by respective isolated populations. See prehistoric migrations and peopling

Symptoms Reflecting Thought Disturbances
Amnesia
…total or partial loss of memory [or failure to develop unifying cultural and historical memories] - A de-associative
reaction, occurs when an individual represses from consciousness the recall or remembrance of entire periods or episodes
in his life [or collective cultural life and history] in order to deny, escape, or to avoid the re-experiencing of certain painful
feelings associated with those [historic] periods or episodes. Amnesia therefore results in the loss of pre- trauma identity,
the motives and values related to that identity due to the repression of its relevant, crucially defining memories. Although, the
“Classical” example of these pathologies are present in all people of color globally; most profoundly observed in the typical
ancestors of Africans captives enslaved in Western culture during the “Middle Passage & Western Imperial and
Colonialism” periods or episodes.
White supremacy-racism is to a large extent founded on the social amnesia of subordinated Blacks and other people of color:
from this platform it is exported globally. The ruling White supremacist regimes’ strategic need to deprive the massive
African population of a common cultural platform from whence to mount a collective counterattack against its domination
requires that it negates [i.e. to equalize; neutralize; eliminate] their common African identity, cultural connectedness,
historical memories and related normal socially ordering [and establishing] practices. This eradication of African cultural/
historical memories was (is) undertaken so as to make possible the social manufacture or fashioning of an erstwhile
"Negro" identity, which can be reactively shaped and molded to fit the changing ongoing needs and interests of White
supremacy. The subordinated African and people of color can only be what he needs to be in order to serve the dominant
White hegemony, [since] he has no true knowledge of who he is and how he came to be who he is. This requires that he not
remember who he truly was. In other words, people of color; Blacks in particular must not remember or share in their
common African heritage and history… he therefore must be linked to and only identify with slavery; negro, nigger, nigger
bitch, boy and America and the racist oppressors – depending solely on them trusting only them.[2] The operative
oppression of Blacks by Whites depends on the ability of Whites to create and maintain a discrepancy between what
subordinated Africans think they were and what they truly were; what they perceive themselves to be and what they truly are;
what they think they should be and what they must be. These discrepancies are the foundation stones upon which the global
superstructure of White supremacy-racism is constructed. The reclamation of true African history, cultural continuity and
unalloyed identity, would precipitate the ruinous collapse of White hegemony. Thus, in self-defense and in the interest of self-
perpetuation, the White supremacist establishment is compelled to induce and maintain in Black consciousness, indeed
world consciousness, a pervasive social amnesia regarding “any and all positive African things” - an amnesia which is
ostensibly "normal." (See Stolen Legacy, George G. M. James also "THE CURE" this web site)
Social amnesia in subordinate Africans was (is) socially manufactured by dominant Whites through the propagandistic
slander and falsification of African history and culture by constricting the continuing discovery, effective exposition,
expression and self-actualizing practice of their true and liberating realities; by punishing, deriding, and negatively
reinforcing the reclamation and manifest behavioral expression [particularly] by African persons, groups, and organizations
of African history, culture and traditions. Moreover, but to a somewhat indirect and lesser extent this applies to all people of
color globally.
In addition the White supremacist establishment, through its control of the domain of discourse of communication, education,
socialization, knowledge and information and its general power to define reality, excludes the truth and beauty of African
history and culture from its own (whites) and the collective consciousness of African peoples as well as all other people. It
thereby effectively denies the existence and/or the worthiness of African history and culture. Their contribution to the
collective character of African people is thereby negated and repressed, consequently distorting their cultural soul and
cultural essence.
Moreover, dominant White regimes have and continue to expertly and consistently associate the history and culture of
Africans with the evocation of feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, betrayal, alienation, fear of social disapproval, mental and
physical abuse, social ridicule, loss of social and economic status, humiliation, and all other types of aversive emotions and
consequences, until in pursuit of ego- and self-defense, many Africans have (and do) feel compelled to reject and repress the
search for the discovery and reconstruction of a true liberating knowledge of themselves - thus creating the social amnesia
which makes them behave like reactionary puppets strung along by the machinations of their dominant White puppeteers.
This "compelled" social amnesia on the part of subordinate Africans [indeed all people of color] (which is facilitated by
parental and subcultural modeling and conditioning throughout their life-spans) not only disallows the discovery and
reclamation of true self-knowledge by Africans themselves: but rather by Pagan Ancient Greece & Ancient Rome the
cornerstones of white supremacy-racism i.e. alien norms, values, culture and psychologies. (SEE Gargoyles Grimalhin

History on 'The Witness Stand' - Numerous people have stated that they were magicians or wizards, or were commonly
believed to be so at the time. However the obscured term "Faustian"; once understood and applied; the nature and origins of
evil are illuminated. Yes Evil does exist. "Faustian"; an evil magician and alchemist in German legend who sells his soul to
the devil in exchange for power and knowledge.
[2] Specific reference is here made to The Infamous Willie Lynch Speech of 1712: The Making of A Slave, and the message
is still true; also The autobiographical movie ROOTS.
It also disallows the discovery and exposure of the true, infamous history and culture of White supremacy and of those
pathologically depraved Whites who are its perpetrators. Ultimately, the repression of a true knowledge of self, i.e., of
African history and culture in subordinated Blacks worldwide, is tantamount to the repression of a true knowledge of reality
- the one true foundation upon which psychological and social sanity must be [can be] constructed.
The historical/cultural amnesia imposed on the collective African psyche by the repressive White supremacist regime results
not only in the sheer forgetting of their past but also in their failure to learn from it; their failure to utilize it in their
reckonings regarding reality and their appropriate relationship to it. The imposed social amnesia of Africans markedly
reduces their capacity to know the murky side of the history and culture of their White oppressors. It leaves them without a
historical/cultural basis for engaging in realistic and beneficial assessments of themselves and of others, for establishing
corroborative expectations regarding their own behavior and that of their Caucasian nemesis. Furthermore, the compelled
social amnesia results in the absence of self-knowledge as well as in the impairment of a normal inter-related sense of
purpose and meaningful existence. The absence of a functional knowledge of their cultural/historical past not only blinds
Africans to important aspects of past realities but also to crucial, critical aspects of contemporary and future realities. Thus,
they are easily deceived, deluded and misdirected by their oppressors and their own ignorance to the benefit of their
exploiters - and consequently to their own functional disadvantages in all areas of people activity.
In being forced to lose their historical past and culture; Africans are, in effect, forced to lose the priceless wisdom and
invaluable coping skills so painstakingly accumulated over eons of trial and error by their ancestors. They are thus forced to
"re-invent the wheel" so-to-speak; originally invented centuries earlier by their forbearers. In other words they are forced to
repeat or unsuccessfully resolve harmful experiences, activities and events. Social amnesia destroys the sense of continuity
(uninterrupted flow), that is the foundation of personal and collective identity. Consequently, the consciousness of the
African amnesiac and people of color is marked by discontinuity and disconnections, episodic experiences and views of
reality - the most important of which are unsystematically clustered together, unorganized by axiomatic principles and
concepts.
African social amnesia impairs long-term, conceptual, sequential, relational, cause-and-effect, abstracted thinking, since this
style of thinking is developed through the practiced, systematic, detailed consideration of reality of the near and distant past
and its relationship to present and future realities. In short their common sense (or more accurately: logic and critical
thinking) is distorted or seems to be lacking all together. Consequently, perhaps too much of subordinated Africans’ thinking
is relatively limited to the present, the immediate, the short-term, and marked by insufficient insight as well as foresight. It is
a distracted, absent-minded, forgetful consciousness. And these characteristics enhance its readiness to identify with a
falsified image of history, culture, and self concocted (made-up) by the characterizations of its White creators - creators who
exploit its fabricated identities and confusions for their own material benefits and self-aggrandizement (self empowerment).
The liability and malleability of the subordinated African amnesiac permits his consciousness and behavior to be rather
easily and quickly molded, shaped and impelled to obsessively pursue the latest commercial fads and fashions and social
behavioral styles in further pursuit of an ever-receding, ever changing, illusory identity - to the economic and social benefit
of his White exploiters. Finally, the reinforced social amnesia of the subordinated African permits him to absent-mindedly,
obsessively seek to assimilate; to eat with, sleep with, live among, "be just like"; to identify with the captors, torturers,
enslavers, lynchers and race-baiting sadistic exploiters of his ancestors and of himself as his highest achievements in life, as
the eschatological finality (ultimate destiny) of his being. In his "sweet" forgetfulness he is no longer motivated to seek
revenge, reparation, restitution, or reconstruction for past and present wrongs perpetrated by his White oppressors; he is not
motivated to construct a new, African-centered, humane utopia on the shattered remains of White supremacy's evil empire
but to [impossibly] become an equal partner in it, to become one with it - thus sanctioning the annihilation (destruction) of
the personhood of both his ancestors and himself including all other people of color. The pursuit of this "impossible dream"
by the African amnesiac supplies the motive force which advances and enriches White supremacy and therefore perpetuates
his own subordination and impoverishment. Thus the subordinated African does not indict the supremacist regime for its
misdeeds and require it to atone for its sins. Its constituents (individual Europeans as beneficiaries) are left blameless and
guiltless - having committed the perfect crime against Black humanity [hue-manity]: Menticide. These are just some of the
corresponding benefits to White supremacy afforded by African amnesia. The term “Menticide” first used by Dr. Bobby E.
Wright to describe the deliberate and systematic destruction of a persons, people or groups mind and or capacity for the
rational-objective processing of information (logic and critical thinking), The Psychopathic Racial Personality and other
essays, Bobby E. Wright, 1984.
Delusion
…false beliefs held by an individual, which are stubbornly retained and defended despite their logical inconsistencies with
objective reality and valid evidence to the contrary. Not only do such beliefs persist directly in the face of contradictory
evidence, they persist in the face of continuous negative consequences resulting from their being believed.
Dominant Whites have from the distant past, historically, up to the present moment unabatingly (constantly) continue to
propagate (to cause) historical and cultural falsehoods (concerning [any and all] things African as well as things European)
in regards to truths and fabricated evidence and facts to support white supremacy confabulations and lies; pathologically, in
order to obscure reality and conceal their racist inhumane motives behind a “paper-mache facade (fragile false front)” of
humanity and hypocritical moral superiority. The creation, presentation, and sinister manipulation of powerful cultural
images and ideas, information and ideology, symbols and values, rewards and punishments, social communications and
interactions, have allowed Whites by dint of their overwhelming global social and economic power, to inculcate (to impress
upon the mind) of their subordinates (yellow, brown, black and red people) with detrimental delusions whose attitudinal-
behavioral expression advance the interests of White supremacy. Dominant Whites utilize such inculcated delusory images,
ideas, values, ideologies, etc., to justify their supremacy as well as to convince themselves and their subordinates (yellow,
brown, black and red people) that they (the subordinates) only have themselves (or fate perhaps?) to blame for their
inferiorization. As the continuity of White supremacy is premised on the acceptance by Africans of the European falsification
of African history and culture as true, so does its continuity also depend on their continuing acceptance of European self-
serving ideological fabrications as true. Furthermore, without the falsified consciousness of the subordinated and oppressed
African; as “whipping boy”, “primary instrument”, white culture-racism-white supremacy would soon pass into inevitable
decline and collapse.

In fact, in order for Africans to remain in their positions of subordination they must be compelled (most efficiently
when achieved subliminally) to mistake certain Eurocentric lies for truths and certain Afrocentric truths for lies. For
it is this fundamental mistake which inverts and reverses the subordinated African collective personality for the total
and express benefit of White supremacy.
The virtually unchallenged social power wielded by the White supremacist establishment enables it to block out,
censor, degrade, and deny the truth and severely limit the dissemination of all important, positive information, ideas,
ideologies, values, etc., relative to Africans, except those which are compatible with and supportive of White
superiority. Furthermore, the White supremacist establishment's ability to associate a full range of socially and
psychologically aversive outcomes with the belief in and expression of ideologies, which if actualized by Africans
would revolutionize African-European power relations, is utilized to motivate Africans to reject the holding and
expression of such beliefs as hazardous to their well-being.

Americas long before Columbus or 1619 - 1620

While it is clear and established that many
Africans fled servitude by Europeans; lived with
and alongside Native Americans. However, it is
now even more clear that Blacks migrated to
and settled in the Americas; independent of
Native Americans, long before the arrival of
Christian Caucasians in the Western
Hemisphere. In other words Blacks were also
Indigenous; Natives: Indians. Now The Evil
