Speechless... This book is not only a must read for African people and people of color, but for all people. I have read that some reviewers point to her theory as "flawed" or suggested this book as a difficult read.Assesment of her preference of audience: I think Dr. Cress-Welsing wrote this book for the MASSES. There may have been some jargon here and there but overall the content is in a language that is overall simply comprehensive for all to read without overuasge of metaphors, idioms and other poetic language that could distort the message. An example of an author who uses poetic/distorted language in his content is Dr. Cornell West. His 1993 book "Race Matters" was clearly written to appease the white establishment or his fellow black bougiousie contemporaries. There was a lot of "talking around" the race issue or circular thinking vice linear thinking, confronting race head on, which Dr. Cress-Welsing does in this book.Assessment of theory:As for her theory, there may be some holes here and there. However, the overall content is EMPIRICAL! Based on facts and simple observation! Simply assess your environment and you will find parallels to Dr. Cress-Welsing's theory. It's in the media, it's within the monuments across this nation. It is literally across all areas of human activity!!! Simple observations that are not subjective but OBJECTIVE. As another reviewer stated, her content is no spooky angel/devil stuff. This is the real deal! Once again, a must have!!!!

Amazing Book... Words can't even express
This book is way to historically accurate to be written soo many years ago it outlines not just past historical facts but things that are too present to fathom someone foreseeing these events taking place, of course history repeats itself in many variables. But with so many currents events surrounding white supremacy and the Desensitization of homosexuality it gives an explanation and insight into things that people can't seem to explain in real time. RIP to this amazing woman for bringing forth the keys to the colors.

This book explains why White people feel they need to practice White supremacy; because of their White genetic recessive genes compared to the non-White genetically dominant genes that can annihilate White genes. It also goes into detail about some of the symbolism including, the holy cross, guns, black coffee, chocolate with nuts in it, black suits and dresses, etc. that Whites have created to cope with their White genetic disposition.

Playing the black side of the Chess board
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing has written a very clear and undeniable collection of research and thesis on the global system of Racism/White Supremacy. Each day I am reminded of something she laid out in her work and it has brought me so much sanity and clarity within an unjust system.This book should be required reading for black youth, especially non-white youth collectively. Because of Dr. Welsing's scholarship I am dedicated to making myself a better person and always displaying MAXIMUM black self-respect.

Read with objectivity and dont internalize the information in this work
This is a very informative book that uses psychoanalysis to explain behavior, cultural consciousness, and the affects the subconscious and unconscious have (have had) on the creation, development, implementation, and maintenance of the white supremacist power structure. Dr. Welsing was ahead of her time with this work, and the majority of her theories in this work can be seen in application in present-day world society. Now it can be understood and addressed properly.

This is why we have racism. Do not buy!
This book is complete garbage. I was hoping to gain insight into racism with all that is going on in the world and all I saw was a racist woman who is overly preoccupied with sex and male genitalia. The only thing that I could agree on is that white supremacy is about keeping the blood lines of Caucasians pure. Everything else was total garbage. If you are fed this kind of sick pablum from your childhood you would believe the whole world was racist too and you would most definitely be crazy.I could not even read it parts of it, like where Christ's cross is a racist symbol of genitalia....I would return this piece of crap excepting I do not want a copy to remain in circulation.

One of the most profound thinkers of the 21st century.
Dr. Frances is truly contemporary Queen among us. Her profound research has truly help me to understand the reality of our world. A must read for those who don't know or think they know racism.

Without a shadow of a doubt THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON RACE RELATIONS out there that you can find. Its detailed concise and true and gets to the root of the issue...explaining why race relation are what they are across the globe. Dr.Frances leapfrogged over the branches of the issue and went straight to the ROOT!!!! This is a masterpiece and should be in every library of every human being...Any perspective on race not basd on or around this books content is totally imbalanced. Get a copy and pass it around. You will be doing the world a HUGE FAVOUR.

An outstanding book and a MUST read. Buy the book and study every page - you will not regret it.
This book is a critical analysis of racism (= white supremacy); how it functions and importantly why. It also offers solutions for how non-white (black, brown, red, yellow) people can lessen (and finally rid the world of) the impact of white supremacy. The author is clear in that genetic survival is key to the white supremacist system. It is almost impossible to argue with her science (she is a trained doctor, a psychiatrist and behavioural scientist) and her recounting of history. Some of the chapters on symbolism left me confused, however, i would be averse to disagree with Dr Welsing given her background. Brilliant book

Enlightened revelation
This book was recommended to me and I did not hesitate to buy a copy. Having read it once and rereading it I would not emphasis it enough to all people of colour to buy it - particularly our black brothers and sisters anywhere in the world. It has emboldened me as a person.
