Got Melanin Anyone ? Written by UNBLIND AFRICANUS It is a sad and unfortunate fact that many people of Afrikan descent need to be reminded of black history month, once a year in order for them to grasp at a few straws of self-awareness. The minds of those victims of white supremacy are too busy trying to emulate European behavior and 'civilization' to initiate a serious exploration and 'inploration' into their true essence. This goes to many extremes and is something that affects our situation negatively as well as "niggatively". I am oft dismayed but no longer surprised at the amount of my brothers and sisters who lack knowledge of self to the extent that, they are not aware of what melanin is. This fundamental determinant which makes us who we are as a people has not been taught to them and they have not taken the initiative to find out about it. To start at the beginning: Melanin is a Greek name (from melanos) which denotes the color black. It is true however that before the Greeks appropriated Afrikan civilization and science, in KMT or Egypt (which is a Greek misguided name) the ancient black Egyptian (Metu Nefer) word that had the blackest connotation was KMT and they named themselves by it (kamau) . On a psychological level the study of melanin is a key to unlock mental slavery of black people. Melanin is the fundamental unit of the universe and can exist in four forms including Cosmic Melanin, Planetary Melanin, Plant Kingdom Melanin (chlorophyll) and Animal Kingdom melanin (black pigmentation). The latter is the appropriate field of study for Afrikans. In humans the main nutrient which is a precursor and a foundation for melanin to get produced is tyrosine. The body must contain an enzyme known as tyrosine and copper to be able to use tyrosine to create melanin. In humans there are three types of melanin. The first being Eumelanin which has a high electric charge and molecular weight and density and gives rise to colors from dark brown to blue black. A less dense form of melanin with lower molecular weight is known as pheo-melanin or pseudo-melanin. It has been established that those with no melanin have quite a few more cancers and genetic disorders than those with pheo-melanin. It is also true that people with pheo-melanin have also quite a few more cancerous developments than those with Eumelanin. The organ of the human body with the largest surface area is of course the skin. Many people are aware that the deep concentration of melanin in African peoples skin make them black and enables them to use the rays of the sun more effectively than our less 'melanated' counterparts, but what few know is that melanin is not only present in our skin but it permeates our whole physical being. It is contained in a small battery cell called a Melanosome. The degree of blackness in various organs in Afrikan people depends on the type of melanin contained and it's weight. Melanin is present in each organ and regulates the workings of our brain. Within the human brain stem are 12 centers of black melanin. On the earth only humans have deep pigmentation of all twelve-brain centers. The brain center with the deepest pigmentation is the Locus Coeruleus or Black Dot. The Locus Coeruleus supplies the pineal gland with norepinephrine and the pineal gland controls the flow of melatonin during the night hours to activate R.E.M sleep in which we can communicate with internal memory pools or other dimensions of life in nature. Melanin also causes seratonin to flow more effectively in the waking state so to 'inspirience' more spirituality. This helps as well keep spiritual intunement at an apex. The less the melanin content of an individual the more the calcification of the pineal gland and less access the individual has to the spiritual world. Melanin is also a biopigment for vision in eyes of humans and all vertebrates. Color vision is produced in the retina by melanin through photopigments. These allow deeper melanin concentrations, protection from the sun as well as a fuller vision of the color spectrum. The melanin content in the inner ear also is of great importance. Through this ear pigmentation it was found that increased melanin increases hearing frequencies. Melanin is also used to make the Black Dot more in touch with the universe. This Black Dot (Third Eye) was seen by our Kemetic ancestors as the access point to inner wisdom and divinity. This was the invisible door to the pyramid which when activated would decipher the mysteries. Melanin in its most concentrated form is black. It is black because its chemical structure will not allow any energy to escape once that energy has come in contact with it. This gives us an insight and shows that melanin dominant people do not require the same amount of minerals and nutrients in their diet as people with less melanin. Melanin absorbs light rays and stores them so that they can be used as energy later on. This is why Melanin dominant people are able to use sunlight more effectively. A perfect example of melanin's use is related to Vitamin D. Vitamin D can be found in the skin of melanin dominant individuals after sun exposure. Whereas less 'melanated' people would require the intake of dairy products to secrete vitamin D. It is important for people with a high melanin content not to indulge in dairy products because after the age of 5, 80% of highly melanated people are lactose intolerant. Eating diary for our people leads to blockage diseases in the body. This is just one example and also a brief look at the pervasive manifestations of melanin and its uses. The author of this article intends for everyone who reads it to research melanin and hence research their true self. It is important for us to know some basic fundamentals on the energy governing our life, so instead of asking your brothers and sisters for this black history month and permanently: Got milk? You need to ask them the question. Got Melanin? If they answer yes then you can move on to a deeper analysis. It is a fact that we have ceased to know about our melanin and ceased to use it accordingly. The key to our liberation is the reactivation of our melanin faculties. For further research two highly recommended books upon which this article was fed are Melanin:a key to freedom by Richard King M.D and Vitamins and Minerals: from a to z by Jewel Pookrum. The following poem is a poem by Unblind the author, inspired by .melanites.. By Unblind Africanus Melanin Imagine absolute darkness Through which your eyes could only see Obscurity The full light spectrum Evaporated into a section As the pineal gland pushes manifestations And absorbs all light, hence we dark Shinning obscurity Enlightened divinity From progenator to progeny Kemetically embedded Genetically perpetuated philosophy So my nats contracted And no lye can substitute for my heritage connected Heat conducted Sun rays absorbed So we ain't hyphenated But 'hyper-melanated' Multi-faceted metabolisms Djembes determine the hearts rhythm All deficiencies are mel-anomalies The sounds of thoughts dissipate earthly tonalities Enriching monotonous trivialities Caught in the prism of our divining melanin Solutions lie in sinking beyond the skin Digging Into multiple levels of interior lining Reflected in the minds chemical combining So we vegetarian carnivores Unnatural reservoirs For those lacking divining melanin In the frailness of un-thick skin Little do they know that our thickness of completion Lies without and within Carbon bonded to our melanin Carbon bonded to our melanin.
