AFRIKAN HEAL THYSELF:The Role of Melanin In Our Afrikan Re-Education / ReAfrikanization Process
A DEEP CUT ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN (ARYAN AND SEMITIC) SCHOLARSHIP AND CULTURE (INCLUDING PHILOSOPHY, MYTHOLOGY AND RELIGION, POLITICS/GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL THEORY AND HISTORY, CURRENT EVENTS, EDUCATION AND ECONOMICS, LAW AND MEDICINE, MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS, CREATIVE PRODUCTIONS, ARTS AND HUMANITIES) DEMONSTRATES THAT THEY ALL SPEAK IN ONE VOICE, AND ALWAYS IN CONCERT WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE WITH THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE COLOR (MELANIN). BUT, PRECISELY BECAUSE MELANIN IS MORE THAN A MATTER OF COLOR (SKIN PIGMENTATION); RATHER, IT IS THE BASTIAN OF “HUE-MAN” ORGANIZING, UNIFYING AND PROTECTING PROBABILITY, POSSIBILITY AND POTENTIALITY; THE EUROPEAN GROUP HAS HISTORICALLY AND PRESENTLY CONTINUES TO WAGE AN UNDECLARED “MELANIN WAR”. THIS WAR IS CHARACTERIZED BY REMARKABLE UNITY OF THOUGHT AND ACTION IN ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED DISCIPLINE IN AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN A VEIL OF FALSIFICATION OVER THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH, I.E., THERE DISPLINES OF STUDY ONLY AMOUNT TO WAYS AND MEANS OF EXPLOITING AND OPPRESSING PEOPLE OF COLOR TO THEIR FININCIAL BENEFIT. HENCEFORTH, AFRIKAN PEOPLES STUDY OF THEIR HISTORY AND CULTURE MUST SET OUT TO RUIN ALL OF THESE TENDENTIOUS THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND PRACTICES OF GLOBAL WHITE SUPREMACY.
As Dr. Wilson explains very eloquently in Black Child Development Under White Supremacy , the cognitive, psychomotor , psychological and affective development of the Black (Afrikan) child is grounded in an overstanding of Afrikan peoples history and culture and the neurobiology of neuromelanin. For the past fifteen years "The Melanin Systems of Afrikan People" has been my primary area of research focus and the nexus of my current pedagogical approach. What follows are some opening volleys into my work. My thesis is that "Afrikan peoples cultural development, education and socialization (social sciences) are grounded in biological science/ biochemistry (i.e., a fostering of functional melaninization)." My academic approach is simultaneously historocultural, sociopolitical, psychoeducational and moro-spiritual.
LETS DO A QUICK REVIEW OF OUR MELANIN SCHOLARS FINDINGS:
Melanin, a widely distributed pigment in the natural world, found in all humans, has a number of extraordinary properties that are best manifested in Afrikan people. Melanin is a superconductor that absorbs all frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum and converts sound energy and light energy to kinetic energy reversibly. In addition, melanin can function as a minicomputer to process information. It is involved in the regulation of all psychological and physiological processes of the human body. Afrikan people, having the highest and most functional form of melanin (eumelanin) have better muscular coordination (which makes us better athletes) and mentally superior. Today, it is 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 because black men have the potential to destroy white men genetically. Dr. Welsing teaches us that 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 black men are considered dangerous because they are the greatest threat to white genetic annihilation. Thus, “the conspiracy to destroy black males”. The high rates of murder, of imprisonment, and of drug use, as well as the high rates of unemployment among black males, are evidence for the conspiracy
Dr. Wade Nobles (1989) states that whites stopped evolving with the development of the central nervous system (CNS), but that blacks continued to evolve an essential melanic system (EMS). From this he develops an "equation": CNS + EMS = HB (human being) - that is, whites are not fully human. Dr. Richard King (1991), express the same idea in his term hueman instead of "human," connoting that only people with color are truly human.

C) MELANINS STRUCTURE
D) MELANIN BIOSYNTHESIS
The first step of the biosynthetic pathway for both eumelanins and pheomelanins is catalysed by tyrosinase:
- Tyrosine → DOPA → dopaquinone
Dopaquinone can combine with cysteine by two pathways to benzothiazines and pheomelanins
- Dopaquinone + cysteine → 5-S-cysteinyldopa → benzothiazine intermediate → pheomelanin
- Dopaquinone + cysteine → 2-S-cysteinyldopa → benzothiazine intermediate → pheomelanin
Alternatively, dopaquinone can be converted to leucodopachrome and follow two more pathways to the eumelanins
- Dopaquinone → leucodopachrome → dopachrome → 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid → quinone → eumelanin
- Dopaquinone → leucodopachrome → dopachrome → 5,6-dihydroxyindole → quinone → eumelanin
(catacholamine)
BIOSYNTHESIS and DEGRADATION
If dopamine is depleted, such as in cocaine addiction, the body will attempt to replenish the dopamine by increasing its synthesis. That mean tyrosine will now be shunted away from melanin synthesis. So, in short, for those of us that have brain functions that are more dependent on neuromelanin (people of Afrikan descent), those areas will become compromised.
D) DISTRIBUTION OF MELANIN WORLDWIDE
"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 and molecular quantum mechanics calculations agree describing DHI-melanin, the best known synthetic melanin , as a structure fundamentally constituted by repetitive units of 5-gem-diol-indol-6-one linked at 4,7 positions (VII). Electric and conformational properties explain different roles ofmelanins. As a UV filter and a radical scavenger black it has a protective function in epithelial tissue; in dopaminergic neurons ofsubstantia nigra, an area of the brain involved in fine motor control, it can act as a conductor allowing rapid electron passage which, generating a magnetic field, can sense the Earth's field and control movements. Melanin destroys, in Parkinson’s disease it can participate to the symptoms and development of the neuro-degenerative process.Finally their may be considered a cell assembling factor ."

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 *Afrikan Melanin System. Melanins (misnomered melanin) comprise a system in people of Afrikan descent that yields structural-functional perfectness. Truly a blessing and God given gift, melanins render Afrikan people physically, mentally and spiritually flawless; having no defects, deficits or faults.
Dermatomelanin (in the dermis of the skin),
Iridomelanin (in the iris of the eye),
Organomelanin (in the internal organs of the body),
Retinomelanin (in the retina/nerve cell of vision),
Neuromelanin (in the central nervous system/brain and spinal cord),
Nucleomelanin (surrounding/protecting the biogenetic subcellular apparatus of human life [DNA and RNA],
to name a few, gives the Afrikan descendent (hueman/woman) refined mind body and soul unification.
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 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 ceruleus. 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 people’s 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 people’s direct knowledge and awareness of the “God Force”; even without conscious reasoning and/or attention. This, as well as all of the aforementioned phenomena, is by no means purely metaphysical. Rather, it is a biophysiologically 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 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 whole—thus 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 imagination—the 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, let’s 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 the large calcified or functional 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 people’s twelve brain Melanin Centers. Clearly, in persons who don’t 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)..
