Example text
To the extent that whites are in obvious control of the larger American social system, it is they who administer, if not control, patterns of injustice and racist advantage and disadvantage. Theories of white prejudice and dis crimination tend to stress the control and responsibility of members of the majority group. Thus, they, too, are steps in the direction of a focus on systemic controls of minorities' or victims' lives, and are examples of the lower end of the victim-system control continuum.
This abnormality (relative to the more normal states of color that predominate among the world's peoples) is made more frightening by whites' existence as a small numerical minority. According to Welsing, various psychological defenses, especially ones focused upon sexual issues (the arena within which one's melanin capacity is trans mitted), are used by whites to compensate for or rationalize their situation. In addition, whites utilize economic and political forms of oppression to domi nate and "inferiorize" people of color who can produce significant skin pigment.
In both cases the assumptions of deviance, anger, and inappropriate targeting are critical. Welsing (1970) has developed a personality theory of prejudice that explains whites' behaviors in terms of their fears and deep-seated inadequacies and inferiorities regarding people of color. Although there are several psychoanalytically oriented theories of this sort, Welsing's explanation is unique in that it roots the sense of inferiority in whites' genetic inability to produce sufficient melanin for adequate skin coloration.
