10 Black Scholars Who Debunked Eurocentric Propaganda

[DMTxTHC]

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing is an African-American psychiatrist practicing in Washington, D.C. She is noted for authoring the “Cress Theory of Color Confrontation” and “The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors,” which explore and define the global system of white supremacy.

In “The Isis Papers,” Welsing contradicts the notion that white supremacy was rooted in an idea of genetic superiority. Instead, she presents a psychogenetic theory suggesting whites fear genetic annihilation because their genes are recessive to the majority of the world’s population, which consists of people of color – the most threatening being black. Therefore they established white supremacy to prevent people of color from diluting their genes and subsequently rendering them extinct.

Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan

Dr. Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan, also known as Dr. Ben, is an Ethiopian-Puerto Rican writer, historian and Egyptologist. Ben-Jochannan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering at the University of Puerto Rico in 1938, and earned his master’s degree in architectural engineering from the University of Havana, Cuba in 1938. He received his doctoral degrees in cultural anthropology and Moorish history from the University of Havana and the University of Barcelona, Spain, respectively.

Ben-Jochannan is the author of 49 books, primarily on ancient Nile Valley civilizations and their impact on Western cultures. One of Dr. Ben’s most thought-provoking works, “African Origins of the Major ‘Western Religions’” (1970), highlights how the roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam originated in black Africa. He also argues that the original Jews were from Ethiopia and were black Africans, while the European Jews later adopted the Jewish faith and its customs.

Dr. Anthony Martin

Dr. Anthony Martin (1942 – 2013) was a Trinidadian-born professor of Africana Studies at Wellesley College, Massachusetts. He was a lecturer and prolific author of scholarly articles about black history and was considered the world’s foremost authority on Jamaican black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Martin authored, compiled or edited 14 books, his earliest work being “Race First: The Ideological and Organizational Struggles of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association” (1976).

In his works on Garvey, Martin used his scholarship to counteract attempts by the mainstream to mischaracterize and deny Garvey’s true legacy as one of the greatest black leaders of all time.

When Martin detailed the role European Jews played in the transatlantic slave trade in his book, “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews,” the professor found himself the subject of a character assassination campaign, which is ongoing even after his death in January of this year.

Dr. Chancellor Williams

Dr. Chancellor Williams (1893 – 1992) was an African-American sociologist, historian and writer. His best known work is “The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.”, for which he was awarded honors by the Black Academy of Arts and Letters.

In “Destruction of Black Civilization,” Williams chronicles how high civilization began in black Africa, contrary to what mainstream historians have espoused to the world. He meticulously lays out the history of Africa in great detail and demonstrates that the continent’s current underdevelopment came after thousands of years of consistent onslaught by Eurasians, and not because Africans made no significant contributions to the world.

Dr. George G.M. James

Dr. George Granville Monah James (unknown – 1954) was a well-regarded historian and author from Georgetown, Guyana. He’s best known for his 1954 book “Stolen Legacy,” in which he presented evidence that Greek philosophy originated in ancient Egypt. He gained his doctorate degree at Columbia University in New York, became a professor of logic and Greek at Livingstone College in Salisbury, N. C., for two years, and then taught at the University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff.

In “Stolen Legacy,” James painstakingly documents the African origins of Graco-Roman philosophical thought. He asserted that “Greek philosophy” was not created by the Greeks at all, instead it was borrowed without acknowledgement from the ancient Egyptians.

James even challenged the foundations of Judaism and Judeo-Christianity and argued that the statue of the Egyptian goddess Isis with her child Horus in her arms is the origin of the Virgin Mary and child.

He mysteriously died, shortly after publishing Stolen Legacy.

It's amazing how in their time they stood up against eurocentric ideology and their research have stood the test of time and attacked and they were desecrated and yet the science of the europeans proved they were absolutely right. Now, they don't even show whites of hispanics, but dark skin people as the first people going through the rest of the world in their specials. The white racists get madder and madder, but their dream world is about to end for them. They were not a major concern until we made them so.

not sure all of this qualifies as "debunking," but hey

Well I don't believe the Melanin Theory to be pseudoscience especially since White people have been going all the way to Thialand to live in darkness for 14 days in an effort to decalcify their pineal gland.


I haven't heard of this lady until now but reading a few of the articles I came across she's pretty deep.

No Black female should have children before the age of 30, and no Black man should become a father before the age of 35

babies having babies by Terry Tate


Using Fuller's contention that "most white people hate black people [because] whites are not black people," Welsing went on to suggest that "any neurotic drive for superiority," in this case, the white drive, is based on a "deep and pervading sense of inadequacy and inferiority

Society has taught us that Black is bad but that's not the case. You should look up the term Black Body Radiation and ask yourself why scientist are trying to create a substance that's 100 percent pure Black.

Yeah, I'll also say that besides the debatable scientific nature of what she presented, it's not profound in any way. She said that white supremacy is rooted in the white belief that the recessive nature of their genes will lead to their extinction. Well, the KKK and other white supremacist groups have been saying that since their very beginnings. Hell, one of the major tenants of those groups is to stand against the interracial comingling because it will produce a mixed race (mud people) and lead to the destruction of the white race.

I'll say this. It's unfortunate that white people have pushed these people's work to the periphery for two reasons. One, the general scientific community looks at a lot of the work in the same way we rightfully look at a lot of that white supremacist pseudo science. And more importantly, two, these people's works haven't been submitted to the same type of rigorous intellectual debate that other more accepted theories have. That's the crux of the situation. Black theories don't need white approval, but scientific theories do need to be subjected to adequate peer review. Diop and Van Sertima in particular presented some real interesting theories, but I don't think that those theories have been tested to the same degree that others have, and a lot of the criticisms that have been lobbied against them were unfair and based more in racism than a scientific desire for truth. It sucks.

fair point, but it IS the title, you know. so...

anyway, jono's right about Welsing and she's the prime example of someone on the list failing to "debunk" anything. also:

Black theories don't need white approval, but scientific theories do need to be subjected to adequate peer review. Diop and Van Sertima in particular presented some real interesting theories, but I don't think that those theories have been tested to the same degree that others have, and a lot of the criticisms that have been lobbied against them were unfair and based more in racism than a scientific desire for truth.

this right here. right now you have a situation where criticism them is often dismissed as "racism" and, in turn, their theories dismissed for equally stupid reasons. ALSO:

Well I don't believe the Melanin Theory to be pseudoscience especially since White people have been going all the way to Thialand to live in darkness for 14 days in an effort to decalcify their pineal gland.

white people traveling overseas to do stupid shit?! WELL I NEVER

yeah, that shit is pseudoscience
