Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, The Relationship between Black Men and White Women (Full Interview 1973)
300,224
Published 2023-07-17
The threat of white-black racial amalgamation coupled with post-slavery black competition in social and economic spheres struck fear into the hearts of white men across the South and compelled them to reassert their power over both their' women and the black men who were their competition. Much of the Southern public was blinded with fear and rage at the idea of a black man with a white woman. A lynching was most likely to occur in cases where a black man had been convicted of outraging' (raping) a white woman, though a lack of conviction did not mean whites presupposed an accused negro's innocence.

This is over 50 years old. Dr Frances Cres Welsing was a genius!!
-
Dr. Welsing is 100% correct and this is still going on today in 2024.
-
I wish interviews in today's time were this classy.

I am a white man living in America and not at all offended by being understood as having a genetic mutation. I was born and brought up in southern Louisiana and lived here all of my 75 years. I know first-hand what white supremacy is about, having relatives who have engaged in horrific acts of violence. I agree, it is NOT enough to say I’m sorry and it is far too easy to say that was “them” and “not me”! So now, I’m trying to figure out my part on how to combat outwardly and inwardly the evil of racism. I think Dr. Welsing is spot on, the most inciteful spokesperson on this topic of our time!
-
Both black men here took Dr. Welsing’s words as a personal attack instead of a systemic discussion.
-
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing understood the assignment and she was brilliant.
-
She is BRILLIANT and analyzing interracial relationships today, she was on point about WHY white women pursue black man and how its more about the white woman's rebelliousness against the white man than it is about " you cant help who you love"...
-
Dr. Welsing was the reason why I got into this profession of behavioral therapy. Rest in power my sister.
-
This woman was/is a saint...May she forever RIP.
-
Dr Welsing is on another level. It's funny how these same narratives are playing out in every generation.
-
I love the way she never raises her voice to make her points when faced with opposition, only slightly modifies her voice inflections.
-
They were disagreeing with her but proving her point at the same time.
-
What a great discussion!! Tragic that is still relevant today 2024!
-
Dr Frances Cress Welsing might as well have said that yesterday for how accurate it still is today.
-
This debated discussion was exceptional and just as relevant in 1973 as it in today in 2024. Dr. Francis Cress Welsing was a genius and visionary. Her work and impact is unprecedented. She truly understood her people and the dynamic of structural racism and its impact on the world 🌎 power structure and relationships.

This woman was on another level...All she was saying was true
-
