Summary: But only for entertainment
Review: The Isis Papers is perhaps one of the most entertaining books I have ever read, but I certainly will not gush about its supposed insights. (Much more could be gained by evaluating the reaction to the book.) To be frank, the book is little more than neo-nazi propaganda in blackface. There are grave issues with regards to the genocide of Africans, Asians, and other people of color by Europeans, but this book doesn't even begin to approach those issues in a meaningful way. It is simply a fringe work that serves as a release valve for the rage that many who are oppressed and marginalized in this society naturally feel. Does anyone really take her assertions about albinos becoming the white race and semites meaning 'semi-white' seriously? The real root of European brutality and supremacy lies in the fact of Europe's history-the real history, not the "we're so great" garbage peddled everywhere. Europe prior to the Renaissance was a brutal place full of war after war, with starvation, brutality, and a Taliban-like attitude towards women. If one compared Europe in the 14th century to other societies of that time in Asia, America, and Africa, I think many people would be shocked. It was this brutality, violence, and oppression that sparked the Europeans to push outwards and attempt to conquer the entire planet.
One final point to make against Welsing's 'thesis': If Europeans are so worried about genetic annihilation, why did they strike out and colonize so much? Wouldn't it have just been safer to stay in Europe, not mix with the outside world-a la what the Chinese of the Middle Kingdom did-and thus perserve their genetic purity? Just a thought.
Again, great on an entertainment level, as one of the best examples of extremist writing there is.

Summary: Deprogramming your mind
Review: I found this book to be the push I needed on my journey of deprogramming. She explained issues in a why that made the light bulb go on. There were chapters that blew me away and I had to put the book down. Not for long, because I found myself longing for more information. I have been mad, I have been sad, but now I am empowered all thanks to this moving book! I do not look at the world the same. The rose colored glass has been removed and now I am on a mission to make sure my children live in a world were the truth is always in the forefront. I will change my future--how about you!?

Summary: True Kings and Queens
Review: To all who have maliciously negative things to say about this book, it simply unveils your ignorance Dr.Welsling has some very valid and insightful points it takes some intellect to see between the lines and those who know truth and fear truth will always speak negatively. I can go on for ever about this but to each his/her own but remember in the end the true kings and queens of the world will rule again it's all a matter of time and science. Too bad I wont be around to witness it but just my belief that it will happen is enough. A book any book can only add to one's wisdom never take away one's wisdom - kel3

Summary: So bad it's funny
Review: I sat down to read the Isis papers expecting to find a treasure of knowlege istead to my dismay I found something so poorly written, so full of fantasy, and so lacking in scholarship that I returned to the bookstore that night and exchanged it for something else.

Summary: Hating Whitey...
Review: If you think this book is outlandish and poorly written then check out "Hating Whitey: and other progressive causes" by David Horowitz, author of Radical Son. Politics and politicians whether black white or somewhere in between have made use of any all of the arguments, statistics (all or some) to get what THEY want, not the people. I also wish that when people decide to write a review they edit mistakes, use grammar and punctuation and when using words they use them correctly. I.E. People make an IMPACT, nothing impacts...By the by, women as a group have been put down far longer than any color group on this planet. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Summary: The Isis Papers-Keys to Colors
Review: I thought that the Isis Papers was an interesting attempt to examine the impact of white racism on the mental health of Black people living in America. Dr. Welsings examination of symbols, words and phrases and their use to portray white people as superior to none-white people was also thought provoking. Are these created symbols and images of white superiority really impacting on Black chidren's view of themselves? Dr. Welsing's assertion that there are hidden pychological motives behind why white people have historically oppressed and presently oppress people of color too is worthy of consideration. Though one may not completely agree with the Dr.'s conclusions as to why white's have historically strived to dominate non-white people one cannot not deny that it is a historic reality.

Summary: SO HARD TO BELIEVE
Review: MY CONCERN IS WHY IS IT THAT WHEN SOMEONE ACTUALLY GIVES A REASON OF ANY SORT,(what does it matter,why) THE MISUSE AND ABUSE OF AFRICAN AMERICANS EXIST. THIS IS A PAIN WHICH IS SUFFERED BY NO OTHER RACE IN "AMERICA". WHY IS IT THAT WHITE PEOPLE FIND IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS BOOK, COULD BE, OR MIGHT BE,TRUE. WHY DO YOU, ACT THE WAY YOU DO TOWARDS PEOPLE OF COLOR? DOESN'T THIS BOOK AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. WHAT AMAZES ME MOST, IS THE FACT THAT "AFRICAN AMERICANS" HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY AS A WHOLE......(that is other than M.L.K jr.) The following things were created by "blacks", the same ones to this day, you can't stand to live next door to you: Air-Conditioning, Heating Furnace, Stop Light, Lawnmower, Street sweeper, Refrigeration, Windshield Wipers, Lawn Sprinkler, DustPan, Comb and Brush, Letterbox (MAILBOX), Stamp Machine, RUBBER from a peanut, (you know we bad) should I go on! These things are not made up, if you think they are "look it up" You didn't know because someone didn't want you to. So, do me a favor if anyone ever asks you, "Why don't we send them back to Africa"? You tell them, No, cause they might take their stuff back with them. Note: Prior to the 18th Century, check the books, it was against the law for a "Blackman" or "Blackwoman" to register or copyright their "own" inventions. So, I ask, how much do "you" think got away? p.s. This message is not intended for "All White People". Only the ones that know they are, and have always, benefitted from the pain and suffering of others. (Mainly, Black People) I won't even talk about the plight of Native Americans. Signed, I'll get Black at ya.

Summary: The funniest book I have ever read!
Review: I obtained and read this book on recommendation of a friend. I'm glad I made the effort! This book is hilarious! For example: white mens' rockets and missiles are shaped like phalluses (and painted white) because white men covet black mens' mythically large equipment. Right off the top of my head I'd say, "No. I think aerodynamic requirements have much to do with the shape required for ballistic flight." I think Frances needs to visit a shrink. Paranoid schizophrenia would be my diagnosis.

Summary: A must have...
Review: This is the first book where I learned a lot about history, culture and nationalism while also being amused. It is deep, well written and will cause enlightment amongst the people. The book is especially good for black teenagers.

Summary: A True Systems Analysis of Racism
Review: This book has had more than its share of naysayers. People misconstrue the point and intention of the book. The point of the book is to analyze the global system of white supremacy. In order to extract any value out of the book, you have to think abstractly and precisely. You have to use both sides of your brain. Dr. Welsing's theories are defintely valid and defintely hold merit. Like other scientists, she had observed her world and offers insightful comments toward understanding the world. She gives very direct, yet simple instructions for people of color (i.e., victims of racism) to heal themselves and their thinking. This book just cannot be read. It must be studied over and over. Only then, can you begin to see the wicked machinations of white supremacy at work. After reading this book, you will begin to reassess the world you live in and the part you play in it.
