I remember as a child, my dad had us regularly watching a T.V. show called "The 21st Century with Walter Cronkite." They narrated an excerpt of one of the most shocking documentary films that I had watched as a child, called the Black Doll White Doll studies. What first grabbed my attention, was watching Kenneth and Mamie Clarke, as they explained their research. This was the very first time that I had ever encountered scientists that looked like me or my Dad and Mom! So this documentary challenged my preconception that only Caucasoids were authority figures. After being subjected to so much hostility, growing up as a child who's dad was in the Air force, and living and going to school in predominantly caucasian environments, as a children, I was so impressed to see Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, Sen. Julian Bond, Assata Shakur, Dr. Martin L. King and Coretta Scott King and Shirley Chisholm in the Civil Rights Movement.
Mamie Clark
Clark Doll Experiment
I remember how disturbing it was to see children prefer and choose non-Black dolls, time after time, when asked “who is prettier?” “Who is smart?” “Who is good?” Yet when they identified with themselves, they chose a black doll and they had such a disturbed look on their faces when they were asked to identify the dolls that looked like them, afterward. I remember Black dolls and Teddy bears among many things i had to play with as a child. I do recall playing with one long haired Hispanic doll. I also remember seeing a boy doll with a Mohawk hairstyle as a display.
The Doll study documentary was painful to watch. Even as a child, I was left with the impression that a profound imprint of self-hatred was present in very young Black children, and hatefulness and fear of Black Children and Black skinned adults in the minds of Caucasian adults and youth of other ethnicities, were marked on the psyche of all young children at birth.
The Clarks' doll experiments grew out of Mamie Clark's master's degree thesis. They published three major papers between 1939 and 1940 on children's self-perception related to race. Their studies found contrasts among African-American children attending segregated schools in Washington, DC versus those in integrated schools in New York. The doll experiment involved a child being presented with two dolls. Both of these dolls were completely identical except for the skin and hair color. One doll was white with yellow hair, while the other was brown with black hair. The child was then asked questions inquiring as to which one is the doll they would play with, which one is the nice doll, which one looks bad, which one has the nicer color, etc. The experiment showed a clear preference for the white doll among all children in the study. These findings exposed internalized racism in African-American children, self-hatred that was more acute among children attending segregated schools. This research also paved the way for an increase in psychological research into areas of self-esteem and self-concept.
This work suggests that by its very nature, segregation harms children and, by extension, society at large, a suggestion that was exploited in several legal battles. The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in several school desegregation cases, including Briggs v. Elliott, which was later combined into the famous Brown v. Board of Education (1954). In 1954, Clark and Isidor Chein wrote a brief whose purpose was to supply evidence in the Brown v. Board of Education case underlining the damaging effects racial segregation had on African-American children. The Supreme Court declared that separate but equal in education was unconstitutional because it resulted in African American children having “a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community" This ended segregation in the public school systems. Regarding Brown, this question of psychological and psychic harm fit into a very particular historical window that allowed it to have formal traction in the first place. It wasn’t until a few decades prior (with the coming of Boas and other cultural anthropologists) that cultural and/ or social science research—and the questions that they invoked—would even be consulted by the courts and therefore able to influence decisions.
In 2005 filmmaker Kiri Davis recreated the doll study and documented it in a film entitled A Girl Like Me. Despite the many changes in some parts of society, Davis found the same results as did the Drs. Clark in their study of the late 1930s and early 1940s. In the original experiment(s) the majority of the children chose the white doll. When Davis repeated the experiment 15 out of 21 children also chose the white dolls over the black, giving similar reasons as the original subjects, associating white with being "pretty" or "good" and black with "ugly" or "bad". The dolls used in the documentary were identical except for skin color.
I began to be more careful and conscious of my treatment in life. How I was excluded in many ways from being allowed full membership in the US society. As a child, I remember feeling the sting of hatred in segregation, not being allowed to drink from water fountains when I was thirsty, or play on the public playgrounds, or swim, when other caucasian youths were present, I remember not being able to use the bathroom- (We had to hide in the bushes)... Or not being able to eat in grills or delis when my mother took us shopping. She would always pack a cold lunch. I remember riding in the back of buses.
Tuskegee Airmen
Being a Daughter of a Father with an Air Force career, we were stationed in many places in the US as well as Europe. I still recall being painfully teased, called "nigger" and bullied for my hair and complexion while in school, and how the teachers were often complicit with the students. I wore an Afro and as I rode the bus, students would spit and throw chewing gum in my hair. I remembered crying myself to sleep many nights. Then one day I looked in the mirror and told myself that I was created in the image of God and that everything God created was Good. So I thought that there must have been a special reason that my hair, skin, and body shape was made. I learned to embrace and accept myself naturally. My mother would try to hot comb my hair. She would say, "let me get into this kitchen". But I would sweat it out very quickly riding my bike or jumping rope. I preferred to wear natural Afro. The Black power movement and images were strong, way back in the 60s. I loved the Panthers. I use to think that people who wore their hair naturally, in braids, an Afro or coils of lox were very "cool", conscious and powerful. These youth images became my circle of influence. I respected the Black Panthers, Assata Shakur, Nina Simone, and Jimi Hendrix And Senator Shirley Chisholm- in her curly Afro. I remember Stevie Wonder's Song about Black history. But I was not exposed To Black history from my teachers in the many schools that I attended, who were non-black. Over time as an adult, I discovered that for many, Afrocentricity was just a fashion statement and some were clueless to their own history about African Empowerment.
It was brought to my attention that the Clarks used their Experiments to justify Integration into public access in the School systems and housing. To think that Caucasians felt relatively safe with Indigo African people because they preferred and sympathized with Caucasians over their own people who were continually oppressed.
Another related issue of race supremacy is Cognitive Dissonance. Dr. Frantz Fanon shared a famous quote:
I also came across many identity issue classifications due to racism.
One is *Maafa Syndrome - Noted from the cruel plantation system treatment of enslaved and imprisoned Melanin Peoples from the 18th Century, and presently.
(often referred to as Stockholm syndrome or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon noted in World War I and II, in which hostages express empathy and sympathy for the slightest kindness from their captors. They identify and develop positive feelings toward of their captors, guards or bosses, sometimes to the point of defending the captors over fellow hostages, or incarcerated, often becoming model trustees to assist their captors.)
Maafa Syndrome is where an individual is so overcome with traumatic stress and cruelty (*Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome, By Dr. Joy DeGruy- see definition below) and other forms of physical and psychological tortures, they begin to attempt to conform and compromise for the sake of relief. They seek to find a way to appease their tormentors even though they are dehumanized and objectified as only the target of their tormentor's demented power and control. They begin to think that their captors are not to blame for the cruelty they are receiving. So, The victim conforms and completely identifies with their oppressors' image and ideals, emulating their mannerisms and speech patterns, and seeking any form of approval or crumb of consolation. They will often defend to the death their captor's goals and mission over their own freedom and value system and encourage others to do the same, even reporting them to authorities for seasoning or to punish them if they did not conform. This is colonialism and imperialism at it's worst!
*Maafa is a Swahili word for "terrible disaster."
*POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME
As a result of twelve years of quantitative and qualitative research, Dr. DeGruy has developed her theory of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, and published her findings in the book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome– America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing”. The book addresses the residual impacts of generations of slavery and opens up the discussion of how the black community can use the strengths we have gained in the past to heal in the present.
WHAT IS P.T.S.S.?P.T.S.S. is a theory that explains the etiology of many of the adaptive survival behaviors in African American communities throughout the United States and the Diaspora. It is a condition that exists as a consequence of multigenerational oppression of Africans and their descendants resulting from centuries of chattel slavery. A form of slavery which was predicated on the belief that African Americans were inherently/genetically inferior to whites. This was then followed by institutionalized racism which continues to perpetuate injury.
Thus, resulting in M.A.P.:
M: Multigenerational trauma together with continued oppression;
A: Absence of opportunity to heal or access the benefits available in the society; leads to
P: Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.

SOLUTIONS
Dr. Amos Wilson offered 5 challenging questions for people of African Descent, in order to awaken and reconnect with their re-acculturation to African Society; He asks:
What Language do you speak?
What Names do you answer to?
What Foods do you eat?
What Clothes do you wear?
Can You name 1 African God?
These questions are meant as a call to consciousness, to recognize the core of the assimilation process in a person, and how we can be able to transform and heal from mental enslavement.
I AM MY HAIR and SKIN- MY SKIN and HAIR IS MY IDENTITY!
As a little girl, my Mom would hot comb my hair for church. l recall, sitting very still in a kitchen highchair, listening to the grease and my hair sizzle, crackle and pop, through the hot comb, and going through the fear of getting burned on my ears or face. I remember her saying, "let me get in this kitchen!" I lived in an integrated environment throughout my childhood, often bullied by caucasian children, who pulled and spat in my hair. Every day, I ran home from school to wash my hair. I remembered feeling sorry for myself. I hated school, and myself. Then I remembered one day crying, then wiping away my tears, and just looking in the mirror, and saying to myself, That God made me perfect, just the way I am... I learned to embrace myself... I remember the 70s era and watching many Indigo women wear their hair in Natural Afros, as an expression of Black power. I wore my natural Afro and refused to ever straighten my hair again. My mother bought me wigs to hide my hair at public events. She wanted me to conform and be accepted by Caucasians. Later, as an adult, I wore my hair in lox and embraced my KMT Ancient Afrikan Heritage. Now I reach out and teach other Afrikan Girls about natural living, health, and Wellness, whenever I can, using the Black Panther food program model, with Amen Ankh Akademy ACE Green STEAM Home School Network and You G.R.O.W.W. Girls- Teach a Girl, Heal a Nation… "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." i have created a poem about my hair... Called: "ADENIKE My Crown Is Precious"
It's not just hair or skin... Black Nappy Hair is alive. Black Coiled hair is sacred. Our melanin-rich hair and skin are magnetic. Black hair is a living material and an extension of the body. Our Black nappy hair defies gravity! My Melanin skin is a carbon memory bank network. I have learned about auras and chakras and the healing powers of color and aromas. I apply meditation and Conscious breathing and diet as a way of life, to reconnect to the natural kingdom of the planet and the cosmos. Our natural coiled hair responds like an antenna or battery... To change its natural order by dying, straightening and cutting, changes or nullifies its original intent by the creator to blindside our dexterity and ability to maneuver in the Nature Eco environment. All of our senses respond on a higher dimension. So, we sense the environment differently with melanin richness. Much like an acidic diet and negative stress calcifies the pineal gland, Altered hair and skin is destructive and disruptive to our balance in maneuvering in a hostile environment.
And yes, although the above statement is very true... Wearing Natural Braids, Afros, and Lox doesn't make a person “conscious.” Knowledge of self means not only knowing our great Afrakan* history, yet also, to be sensitive and intentional to practice and live our own culture, diet, languages, worldview, and Spirituality, is what gives us distinct living existence, Cultural unity, and empowerment. Only when we misunderstand and devalue our hair and skin; when we pollute and don’t take care to cherish and protect our body temple as a whole; And when we conform and assimilate with the stripping off of our natural phenotype, that we diminish our natural power.
To cover the natural melanin-rich coiled hair with an artificial weave is like covering our natural melanin skin with layers of plastic (nylon, acrylic, polyester, etc.) clothing and sunblock. we are wearing an artificial reality of other's energy.
To be conscious on the next level is to innerstand naturalness; but yes, there are many fake wannabes out there on both sides of the pendulum, who perpetrate black culture or who assimilate and deny black culture. To this day we still have those with "good hair" syndrome who covet for their children to have silky hair and light skin and to assimilate into the ways of an alien society because we don't look for or see ourselves as powerful.
I wear my hair in tight coils and lox because that is how it grows from my scalp. I don't want my hair to be construed as just a political statement. Talk to me if you want to know what I think. Don't look at my hair, and imagine what I might be thinking. Let my Appearance be a teachable moment.
There is a natural order that we are born with if the order is disturbed it can interrupt your body's full potential. I'm not attacking you or anyone.
But I have seen beautiful sistars losing their natural hair due to unnatural manipulation. The base on most hair bleaches and relaxers is lye and formaldehyde. Lye is a caustic substance, commonly used as drain cleaner. When you combine that with fat, you make soap. In many cases, baldness has occurred due to the excessive use of chemicals on the scalp. These chemicals are being absorbed through the skin like a nicotine patch, actually destroying the living skin down to the skull and into the blood/brain barrier to the pineal gland.
BLACK Love is loving and accepting ourselves
BLACK Love is loving and accepting ourselves with self-knowledge in the midst of haters, bigots, racial profiling, prejudice, Ignorance, Classism, Racism, and/or others who might be your family members with self-hate.
Yes, focus on black love... Love your black hair in spite of the fact that the world thinks it's ugly, love your black skin... I want all the sistars and brothers, Queens and Kings to love themselves.
I think the whole body, mind, and soul matters,... all incorrect balance. Yes, WE must focus on black love... Black Love Matters, Black Lives Matter, Black Money Matters! Love your black hair in spite of what the world thinks. Love your black skin... I want all the Sistars and Brother Suns, Queens and Kings to love themselves. Respect their Ancestors, Elders and Know our Historic culture and civilizations.
We need to pay more attention to our Black children's minds...
Our youth are forced to process a sick and dying world of race supremacy.
Our Black Girls are our foundation. As you teach a girl you heal a nation.
Our whole body matters, mind, body, and soul... We must live in the correct balance.
When women are talking about something of great importance to them, listen. We are Ankh Wombs of creation. We are the first teachers of our children, as they live inside the womb, as we feed them from our nipples, and from the wellness choices, attitudes and conditioning that we carry.

With the Prison Industrial Complex tied into the Military Industrial Complex, woven into the Criminal "In-Just-Us" system, and the Upside down pyramid of the Underground economy, there is a seamless paradigm lubricating the gears and bolts and woven in the fabric, of the production and destruction of the Machinery of the U.S. inc. We have moved from the 18th century industrial model, to the neo-slavery of low wage workers in a greater pool of the 99%. We are now living in the era of the Neo-Plantation. This is the social terminology and references, still identifiable in the world of the United States of Kkorpratokrazy. The United States is NOT America. The United States invaded The Americas and Brought Their plagues and War monger mentality, to seize land and resources as pirates. The US still practices Maritime Arbitrary Law in their court system. Which is only an expansion of economic commerce, that ties into the Trilateral commission, of the District of Columbia (North America), The Vatican, (Roman Catholics- Mexico and South America) and London (Great Briton)
“House Negro” is now a definition for a parody of someone who has lost their way and who submits to and accepts being conquered and subordinated. This individual exudes their own pariah of self-revulsion. They eagerly play their role to maintain the status Quot in a failing system.
The origin of the term “negro” is simply a Latin word for the color “black.” The present use of the word “negro,” represents an archaic shadow of an old past term that we should have evolved from. Yet, this "color" reference is still used as a racial title for many African organizations. (NAACP, UNIA, etc..) These racist classifications are so antiquated by more than a century! Surely we have advanced in our own self determination to move beyond the past morays and racist dialogue of the U.S., to then move in the spirit of our own self-determination. Race is just a political construct. There are really Humans, who all come from Africa, and those who are hybridized from Rhesus Monkeys.
We presently live in a society of the North Western Neo-Greco-Roman Empire. This colonial imperialistic crushing state is a cancer, and will crucify anyone obstructing their path of tyranny. This structure has invaded every natural aboriginal communal relationship on the planet. The establishment of imperial Plantations of fascist feudal republics, destroyed Agrarian Nile Valley and eastern pastoral ways of life. Everywhere on the planet, you can find the decimation and genocide of every communal society and with it the ecosystems of the natural world.
What is left is a trail of dysfunctional refugees who are caught in a psychopathy of automated insensitive nonspiritual subsistence.
So, we presently have are the identifiable personality types of the House Negro, The Porch Negro, The Field Negro, the Runaway and the Free Indigo. These terms are often used to describe contemporary ways that many people are still selling out their own Black nation or any group who are members of the 99% of people who have been outcasts from corporations who have outsourced their industrial plants to foreign countries, who have accelerated their exploitation to establish Onsite slave camps of workers. Much like in India, China, or Japan, where instead of importing slaves, they corral their own existing people into In-house Enslavement, to work in 24 hour shifts, sleeping in the same beds of the previous workers, you can find this system in India, Japan, Africa, or anywhere there is an emerging independent nation.
A House Negro is an agent and a snitch to the Kkorpratakrazy of the educational pipeline to the Prison Industrial Complex and the Military Industrial Complex. House Negroes suffer from what is identified as Maafa Syndrome. This syndrome had existed in the Maafa of the trans- Atlantic human trafficking, long before it’s identification in the German "Holocaust." of their World War I+II. People who are caught in the paradigm of Maafa syndrome, have completely surrendered to their captors and their state of captivity. They often completely identify with, and model their oppressors. They are the model prisoners, and trustees who report any disruption of the status Quo of the system or any act of civil disobedience. They despise themselves and are so institutionalized in their thinking where they need the approval and permission of their oppressor for everything. They will listen so intently to everything that goes on with their authorities. They believe in anything that has been written down or on the Television by their abusers. An often quoted phrase that the late Malik El Shabazz Aka Malcolm X, used to epitomize this way of thinking was, "Massa, Is WE's Sick?"
The Porch Negro has been caught between the Field and House Negro. They are often too week and sickly to work in the field or run away but not willing to completely submit to the plantation authority. Yet, they are still caught in the Institutional, plantation mentality system. You find them as the so called black militant who works for and supports the Kkorpratokrazy in the daytime, yet refuses to re-invest their monies into a viable community development. They talk a lot and they are seen in the political arenas, yet they refuse to tear down the barriers that obstruct the progress of their own people to freedom.
The Field Negro is the hard working rebel. Yet, some Field Negroes may still be trying to impress their oppressors, hoping to get a job working in the house, but the majority has felt the lash and is always seeking a way of escape.
The Run-a-Way has made a successful escape from the system, yet often knows only the lifestyle of the plantation, so they continue to practice and model the plantation mentality in their private life. Their dress, Language, demeanor, government, environment and lifestyle habits, are the same as their oppressors. This reflects on the paradox of the people of Haiti, known to be the first to succeed in driving out the colonialist government and oppressors. Yet, the very next day they began to establish the same authority, speak the French language instead of their own oppressors, and practice the lifestyle, religion, diet and even the same oppressive class system.
Free Indigo People live in cultural ways that are connected with nature and the natural environment. They live in harmony with the seasons and are sensitive to and practice a natural spirituality. They know the terrain, and the stars. They know the healing herbs, and the Animals. They have their own classification systems, timeline, and calendar, specialized diet and speak their own indigenous languages and spirituality.

Our Youth are arising from the ashes of the neo slavery of the prison Industrial Complex
Yes our youth are showing their @$$es to expose the underground economy... Our youth have been the walking wounded, marching in their suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress for the past 30 years! Sagging IS NOT JUST A FASHION STATEMENT! Our Youth are lowering their flags at half-mast as an SOS to the homicides and slaughter of their families and friends who are caught up in the criminal "In-Just U.S." system, the prison industrial complex, and the military industrial complex. I'm not saying that I condone this behavior- But I also cannot condemn our young men (Or Women) either. We must embrace our youth and use teachable moments to engage and connect with them.
I am a teacher with a home-school, and I live with my students in their neighborhoods. I tutor, read to children, and teach STEMM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine) through urban agriculture on our urban farm. I see this every day.
As there is a cure in nature, for every illness, Our Black Youth have gone feral, from the mundane delusions of patriotism, integrationist, assimilationists who follow the middle class value system of a society of non-colored people who want to dominate and control and exploit our people. They think our elders have failed them and left them for “def”-in da Hood, -in the aftermath of the civil rights movement with cointelpro, and the invasion of Cocaine to Crack. They are generating their own freedom structures within the underground economy. Their Hip Hop Culture has become that cypher, that pathway map and talking drum for all youth around the planet. They are moving to a green movement to take on the accountability to the ecosystem of the planet and their role in the sustainability of their environment and the Ecosystems of the Planet.
With respect to Honorable Marcus Garvey (Triumphant,) when he refers to “Africa for Africans!” the Diasporas of Afrikans on this planet, as well as the continent of Afrika, encompasses many countries whose peoples align themselves as one nation under the motherland of Africa. As I research the history of Honorable Marcus Garvey, I find that it was his life’s work to promote the unification of the Afrikan Diaspora.
I know that we can always debate the origin of the word “Africa or Afrika”… Yet Afrika has been -and is still, considered to be the only universal term for the racial origin of the original “human” (Hue-Man). All of our sensitivities over maintaining these antiquated title and ethnic affiliations are ultimately a reflection of each of our own internal conflicts and turmoil due to our treatment and the ill effects from the Maafa. How our diverse nations, ethnicity and origins were all lumped together by complexion only, without regard to our unique diversities. As Melaninated people, we were bred together, like stock animals for specific results. So we often find cases that reveal our suffering from inherited and direct injuries, of unwarranted rebuke, assault, and disenfranchisement from the MAAFA of human trafficking that still remain.
The greatest assault or sin of all other transgressions are the lies that we
have been told. We have been assaulted and besieged by so many false truths and contrivances that continue to bombard and attack our self image, self esteem, and moral fortitude. From the very history books of a dysfunctional education system that we feed an alien barbaric program into our children, We present our own children to be taught by institutions of our oppressor, to master and drill into their innocent psyche, - and to the exposure of mass media propaganda and advertisements that follow us everywhere.
My question is- Then, how shall we define ourselves!? If Africa is not considered the racial and national origin of all our ancestors of melaninated people, then what time and place can we be united at and in connection to? The fact that you can find Black people everywhere is the phenomenon that is undeniable.
