Book Review: Isis Papers
Summary: 5 Stars
I could relate to a lot of what is in the book. I understand the pathology and immaturity of whiteness. If the theory doesn't fall or support whiteness white people become offended and virulent towards the people who can relate to all or part of the book. It's a fight to regain psychic control over the so-called inferior class to keep power. The curious thing is that whites since the inception of this country have posited theories/hypotheses and used Afroasiatics to experiment on to prove their points. No one then said it was outrageous or pseudoscience! That would have been a great time to speak up and use your voice then but many did not. Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment,James Marion Sims, the white supremacist father of gynecology tried to solve the problems fellow rapists were having with slave women by dissecting their babies and mutilating their bodies. Carl Von Linnaeus created the taxony of race which gave scientists then and now the pass to experiment on blacks/africans without fear of answering for their crimes. The list goes on but still in 2008 whites support and laude these creatures for their excellence? But, here is a woman who has not experimented on whites or blacks, is in the field and knows the environment and whites and blacks alike (haven't broke the psychological chains of slavery) whine about her theory.
It doesn't make sense to me but here in america her disease is the patholgoy of whiteness. Most don't know what they're arguing about and will use the same arguement their white supremacist forefathers sat around their tables and conjured up in an attempt to trigger a genetically passed fear of speaking up and telling the truth about their experiences with whites. But these people claim to be intelligent and not racist.
I agree with majority of the book because of my own knowingness. It clicks. Some I've never thought about but it still fits. I don't agree with some of her statements on homosexuality but that doesn't mean I'm going to use that as an excuse to not understand the rest of the book as most white people do.
