Isis (Yssis) Papers

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!!!!

Having grown up in a racist South Africa, we were made to belive that we are nothing and even pigs were treated better than us.This book empowered and reinforced in me the notion that it is only the ignorant who see black people as inferior and it is manily their insecurity that makes them so racist. This book is not about reinforcing racism, but rather about empowering the oppressed to know themselves much better. And most importantly help them cope with the pain of oppression.Frances openned my eyes to the most obvious and she must write more books of this kind. This is only the beggining of helping us the oppressed to look our fears in the eye by understanding the psychology of oppression.

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.

Dr. Cress Welsing's book digs into the fabric of White Racism and Supremacy and gives the reader something to think about. Why does society work so hard to keep Black America down? Why do we as Blacks have so much self-hate in a land where we are not wanted and are being systematically destroyed? Why don't Whites give a real version of what has transpired in history? The answer is simple: we must learn the keys to the colors and understand the symbolism that has us as Black people trapped in a quagmire of lies and deceptions that are destroying us as a people. You would not know that Blacks were the first people on the Earth building dams, roads, and ships by the way we act today. The youth are in a worse situation: teen pregnancy, black-on black crime, and unemployment will spell an untimely end for the world's oldest people if we do not learn and teach THE KEYS TO THE COLORS to our people.

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.
