But why has White supremacy arisen? Fuller (in Welsing, The Isis Papers p4) says: "The reason most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people." From this, according to psychiatrist Welsing, comes Reaction Formation-a defense mechanism that converts something desired and envied but wholly unattainable-like blackness in skin color-- into something discredited and despised. Psychiatrists frequently use the pattern of one's overt behavior (e.g. hate and disrespect) towards others as indications of what is felt fundamentally about ones self. Despite White supremacy being a Superiority Complex (a mask for an Inferiority Complex), Welsing states that racists lack fundamental respect for their genetic white self. One of the Reaction Formation and Projection defense mechanisms used by White supremists pertains to the necessity they have to degrade, denigrate, and devalue dark skin and any thing associated with dark skin as well as fear that which is black.

Regarding Black people's selfhood and operational world, in a sense Europeans are historically like "Peeping Toms". This 1796 story alludes to tailor Tom, the only person to watch the naked Lady Godiva as she rode by on horseback. Tom was struck blind for this sin. The ancient Greeks were so "blinded" by peeking through the window of the Ancient African world that they (and the Romans) declared black skin to be associated with high intelligence. During the medieval period Europeans started converting their Inferiority Complex into White supremacy by means of the gun. Then, after peeping into the brilliant world of Black people, they used Reaction Formation and Projection to make up absurdities that would feed their beyond ridiculous White supremacy concepts. Yet, the "naked" truth is that the Amenta (the Nun, the Void, Nothingness)--the highest Cosmic realm of which the human mind can reach--represents the body of God. It is all Black. Melanin (Greek, melan-black) is now believed to connect each member of the human (i.e. Black) family (and particularly by way of the nervous system) with the Amenta. The most important Egyptian god, Osiris, is "Lord of the perfect Black." In ancient cultures outside Africa, Isis (the most important goddess of Ancient Africa) and her son Horus were known for being the original Black Madonna and Child. Even the Bible indicates African ancestry in Jesus-see Daniel 7:9; Ezekiel 8:1; Revelation 1:14, 15. The Jewish historian, Josephus, describes Christ as "a man of simple appearance, mature age, dark skin with little hair".
