7. I labored for years trying to understand the why of racism.
I just didn't believe it was because people didn't like other peoples. And as a christian, I was terribly confused as to how whites slaveholders and KKK people, could say they were christian.

As far as I was concerned, John Brown was the closest thing to Jesus Christ that white people had. By his actions, he made it impossible to lump all whites as racist. He gave his life for what he believed. Not just some lip service while he owned slaves.

My eyes were opened forever by reading Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. It is her proposition that, whites know they are a minority of peoples on the planet. They know their birth rates are not keeping up with nonwhites. They also know that whites mating with nonwhites produces nonwhites. Therefore, if the world truly integrated, some people fear that white skin color would melt into the gene pool.

In order to prevent this from happening, some white people believe it is necessary to maintain control over all levers of society and people activity, i.e. politics, religion, war, economic, etc.
