WHITE MEANS SUPERIOR
Religion and Politics are the institutions most influential in the lives of people. What you eat, drink, number of wives, where you live, what you can smoke, sell, etc.
Why does the person perceive the Caucasian near the market as rich? That idea has been planted subliminally into the sub-conscious mind of people who worship God in the form of a Caucasian image. When the victim of White Supremacist religion sees a Caucasian this is some of the attributes that has been subliminally programed into his sub-conscious mind:
88. Al-Ghani (الغنى) The Rich One
89. Al-Malik (الملك) The Absolute Ruler, The King of the Universe, The Sovereign
5. Al-Quddus (القدوس) The Pure One, The Holy
9. Al-Azeez (العزيز) The Almighty
10. Al-Jabbaar (الجبار) The Compeller
48. Al-Wadood (الودود) The Loving One
49. Al-Majeed (المجيد) The Majestic One, The Glorious
69. Al-Qadir (القادر) The All Powerful, Doer of all He Intends.
88. Al-Ghani (الغنى) The Rich One
89. Al-Mughni (المغنى) The Enricher
92. An-Naafi' (النافع) The Creator of Good
Remember "Masters of the Universe" toys?
Even you Jason, an individual who seem to question everything – an excellent trait, have been subconsciously victimized by religion. Consider your applications of the term, “white American”? The minute you refer to the Caucasian as “white”, you acknowledge his superiority since white is synonymous to goodness; white-wash, white-knight, Snow White. words and thoughts can and do affect us negatively or positively. Even the bible proclaims, that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. In other words, you are what you think.
Try using the word Caucasian in the presence of the so-called white man and it will take some getting used to, even though there is nothing bad with using the word.
Adolf Hitler Mass Murderer?
How many of the scholars here knows the Religion of Adolf Hitler? See how far you have come and the question never even crossed your mind?
The White Supremacist Nazi was ROMAN CATHOLIC.
In this western dominated world, the bulk of positive powerful stereotypes are represented as "White," "Good guys wear white," "white magic" (which is supposedly ìgoodî') "Blondes have more fun, "Angel Foodî cake (which is white) and ìDevil's Foodî cake (which is black) and on and on and on. Most positive stereotypes are conveyed as white while conversely, most of the negative stereotypes, especially in America, are represented as "Black." Pimps, a prostitute, welfare queens, dope addicts, rapists, thieves, savages, cannibals and headhunters and black magic conjure up the mental image of Black people.
These negative perceptions and myths are largely formed by the Western media and popular culture, which portrays Africa as savage and backward and Africans as either violent barbarians or simple, childlike people. The entertainment and news media have been the most incessant perpetrators of this negative perception and one of the root causes of the "problem." For example, let us examine the subconscious message sent by one of the most enduring movie heroes, Tarzan.
cont.
In the Tarzan story, a plane crashes over the "Dark Continent" and the only survivor is a White male infant. This infant is rescued by apes and is subsequently raised by them. As the infant grows into manhood, being raised solely by apes, he rules over the Africans with a supreme primal yell, which causes them to bow down in submission. The message conveyed by this story and others like it is that Africans are so backwards that mere apes could raise a White male -- and that White male would still be superior to the Africans.
cont.
Images found in religions send subliminal messages of inferiority to Black people. Christian icons of the White God image have had a debilitating subconscious effect on the minds of the people of the African Diaspora. The image of God as white nurtures the subconscious belief that the “White” person is born to be the supreme leader.
Naim Akbar in his book The Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery states:
The person, who looks up and sees his physical characteristics shared by his deity, begins to develop the idea that he is exactly like God, or that God is like him. This is all right if one sees potential for growth in the idea. The confusion of the physical attributes with the very nature of God begins to make the person feel that his particular physical features have endowed him with automatic divinity. Such a person can believe in his own mind, that "I am God, I am Deity, I am Creator.î He begins to believe that the blonde hair and the blue eyes that are on the portrait are the qualifications for divinity.
This begins to cultivate an egomaniac. They begin to suffer from ego inflation.
This ego inflation most likely affected the slave masters in North America and the colonial masters in Africa and caused them to relate to the African slaves as mere chattel and subhuman creatures and the Africans under colonial rule in Africa as barbarous and inferior.
cont.
The perpetuation of White God images and other symbols and standards that portray "whiteness" as preeminent have a virtually demeaning effect on the subconscious minds of people in the African Diaspora. A chain of subconscious reasoning occurs in the minds of some Blacks who view these images and symbols from infancy to adulthood. The reasoning is that because God and all that is represented as good and beautiful are White and White people share those godly characteristics, then the White characteristics and qualities are preferred and are the best.
The most famous example of the negative Black self-concept was demonstrated in the 1950s by the social psychologist Kenneth B. Clark, who was the best known and most regarded Black social scientist in the United States. Clark's work for the NAACP in the famous Brown v. Board of Education case played a major role in that Supreme Court case.
Clark and his wife developed the famous "Doll Tests," which clearly demonstrated the negative Black self-concept that continues to affect us today. In the Doll Test, Black children in the early school ages were shown four identical dolls, two Black and two white, and were asked to identify them racially and to indicate which doll was best, which was nice, which was bad and which they preferred to play with.
This test, administered to Black children across the country, showed that the majority of the children rejected the Black doll and expressed a sincere preference for the White doll. For the Clarks, these tests demonstrated the negative effects of racism on the personality and psychological development of Black children who would one day grow into adults. This negative self-concept in not confined to the United States but penetrates throughout the African Diaspora, even Africa itself.

THE BLACK AND WHITE DOLL EXPERIMENT

"You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,"
HOW CAN YOU SLEEP?
HOW CAN YOU BE MERRY?
WHILE YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN LITTLE CHILDREN!
*
.
This “THE BLACK AND WHITE DOLL EXPERIMENT” broke my heart, and brought tears, to see this pretty little Black girl call herself bad and ugly!
Who taught Blacks to hate themselves so much?
.
Yes, the black & white doll experiment was sad, but that doesn't mean we should revert to racist stereotypes against whites as some commenters have done here. Bringing Hitler into the debate was way over the top.
They will fool some of the people sometimes but not all the people all the time. Some of the kids today will identify with the black doll.

Hozea/Josie made some negative comments as to how the Beauty contestants were “depreciating”, getting blacker – implying uglier, every new year. I have known Hozea/Josie a long time and was taken aback at his statement.
Colonization with all its trimmings, especially the White Icons of Divinities, and the imposition of the "White is the best and most beautiful" complex into the subconscious minds of the colonized and Mis-educated Africans in the African diaspora is most likely the subliminal reason beautiful Black women (and men) bleach their skin; a practice which endangers the health of the “victim”.
Until all people of African descent understand how this inferiority complex was formed and take steps to eradicate it from their minds, we as a group of people will never again advance on a grand scale because we hate ourselves.
“A black Lucian sees a white American near the Castries Market and immediately changes his accent and begins to “yank”???”
You're fortunate he did not have Bleaching Cream.
