Makes For An Interesting Read

I gave this book 5 stars, not that I feel everything in the book is true, but because she hit on some major points that all races need to realize. The truth is we are a very sick society and we are constantly feeding off one another's sick energy and it is time to stop or we will eventually destroy ourselves. Her discourse on symbolism and her use of intuition in deciphering the facts made me like this book even more. There is a lot of false information fed into our subconscious minds on a day to day basis whether on an individual, group and/or culture scale that yes!!! it does make so much sense that we carry around these subconsciously ill feelings that we pass to our children, our children's children and so on, without even knowing it! Thank you so much Frances for your intuitive insights, for the most part I do believe you hit the nail on the head. I don't believe any intelligent person should be offended by this book whether Black, White or Homosexual. Just cut through some of her words and try to reach out to her ideas and concepts. PEACE!!!!

The truth hurts some people.

The author is thoughtful and very powerful. She takes on white supremacy by it's horns, chops it to pieces and has it for breakfast.This explains why some people get so upset over this book. All I can say to them is now you see how it feels to have your existence, history, and thought patterns analyzed in an unflattering way. Keep up the good work Frances. Your work is desperately needed to counter the Shockleys, Dukes, Turner Diaries, etc of this world.

Now I know what(who) I'm dealing with...

Although I had heard of Dr. Welsing's work in the '70's, I never had the opportunity to read her theories about race until now. I ordered The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors from the public library because there were none on the bookshelves at local bookstores. There was only one in the whole Cobb County Library system. This book is "must" reading for any person of color living in the world. When you know what you're up against (racism/white supremacy), it makes fighting easier. When the psychological realities of life are presented in this way, it makes you feel less schizophrenic. I now know that the way I am treated is not a figment of my imagination, but my extintion has been consciously planned. I can't ever thank Dr. Welsing enough for helping me through this book.
