Melanin, More Than a Molecule Series Pt. 1: Let's get one thing straight...
Melanin is necessary for and the precursor to life itself. Melanin is eternal
To some, melanin is just skin tone. Nothing more than the surface.
To others, protection from UV rays, yes, but also jumping, singing, dancing, and running. That's it and nothing more.
To the adept, however, melanin is that which comprises the majority of, not only the Universe but the Earth as well.
It is a cosmic, spiritual, and metaphysical force that never dies and is ever evolving.
Check out my Christian Corruption of Cosmology series, especially our latest article, where we speak HEAVILY on what Creation really means…you will start to see that without melanin there could be no “creation” or man, period.
Melanated peoples across the world…
The majority of the world is melanated. Not the socio-political term “of color”, but melanated.
These melanated groups of people originated in Africa, yes. Cheikh Anta Diop supports this heavily in his book Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology.
However, these original peoples were found on every continent, excluding Antarctica. Psst…And the way that continent is hidden by multiple governments, I would not be surprised if we did explore there.
But why were the first people melanated?
Simple.
Gloger's Law states that birds and mammals should be darker in humid and warm climates versus drier and cold climates.
Lake Tanzania, in Eastern Africa, is known as Huemanity's birthplace. It is from there, melanated peoples touched down and developed as and by themselves.
There are two main sites that paleoanthropologists get a hard-on for, in reference to how far do humans really go back. Note that I am saying humans because there is a difference between humans and mankind.
Olduvai Gorge, also called the “Cradle of Mankind” holds some of the earliest fossils of humans. Laetoli, another site near Lake Tanzania shows footprints dating back to nearly 3.7 millions years old. Footprints. In Africa. Black people. In particular, that of Australopithecus afarensis, human development displaying bipedalism, the ability to walk upright.
Still, what is melanin, besides a molecule?
I named this series very carefully. Even though most look at melanin as just a protector from the sun, they are not lying. However, they are very surface minded.
As black people especially, we like to tag onto things and refrain from digging deeper. This is not an inherent traits. It is a post traumatic slave disorder combined with religious propaganda. With systematic racism as its powerhouse, you all get the gist.
Black Men and Women remembering and knowing who and what we were, and still are, is a threat to the entire world. The entire world feeds from what we contribute as individuals and a collective. The mothers and fathers of everybody on the planet, it is no coincidence that disrespect to the parents results in a chaotic house.
Melanin as a molecule is all that we have been “allowed” to know because of the conscious uprising of the planet. The pride, the look, and that's it. Maybe what we do but still, not on a level that speaks to our very essence without a Europeanized platform or mold.
However, in every hood classic, there is always the brother who seeks to uplift with awareness past the surface, while most of us are just happy being black.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with pride in being black. Simply being black is not a threat. It is what being black represents in relation to the Nature and the entire Universe that is a thorn in the side to everyone non-black.
Just a few facts to wet your willy…
⬆️ Dark Energy and Dark Matter make up about 95% of the Universe.
Black people, our diaspora and even non-white peoples being traced back far enough to black people make up the majority on this planet, as opposed to white people. That “visible matter” referred to in the image represents white people because they are visibl-y mater-ialistic. Their consistent behavior shows that their entire being is heavily dependent on what is tangible, material, and visible. Anything else, that which is the majority which is invisible (spirituality, magic, Natural Laws, etc.), is irrelevant and has no place.
The plant equivalent of melanin is chlorophyll. Which is what represents life, when spring awakens.
Black women can produce every single color and race on this planet, for she is the terrestrial equivalent of the cosmic Great Mother. As a black man, your seed has the same dominant genetics that could wipe out an entire race in a few generations.
How we will approach melanin moving forward…
📆 In this series we will go into further detail as to why melanin is much more than a molecule. From a biological standpoint, the facts I just presented above need no credentials nor certifications to decipher. They are apparent to the naked eye.
Melanin has deeper spiritual and metaphysical components that make any Black man and Woman are threat on any level.
And let me just say it flat out…melanin is the Creative Principle, the perfect-ing agent of the Creator through which IT chose to manifest and know itself through on this planet. This is why black people were the first, planting all the seeds of knowledge that were then plagiarized and used against us. This is why we are the majority on this planet, despite minority propaganda. This is why the Universe is majority Dark Matter and Dark Energy, which represents the Triple Black Waters of Nun, that chaotic field from which we originate.
We will assess melanin from the surface to the core, going deeper and deeper. Melanin has always existed, still exists, and will continue to exist because it is the very essence of the Universe.
