Accepted Paper:

Exploring Scientific Racism and Critical Race Theory in the Role of White Supremacy and Melanin Theory.  
Kerry Ann Thomas (Victorious Legacy)

Paper short abstract:

Eugenics has played a deep role in Critical Race Theory. The idea that race is not a social construct can be shown as understated when exploring scientific racism. It was in 1680, when free Whites and Christians where labelled White and Africans or Indigenous Black.

Paper long abstract:

Eugenics has played a large role in scientific racism and critical race theory linking racism, race and power with ideologies from influential leaders such as Francis Gant and Boas to Thomas Jefferson and many others. All were very critical in their ideologies along with their scientific and social works that Africans are generically inferior to Europeans and worse than Natives.

These works presented all over science in the 1700s to the 21 century has lead to White Supremacy permeating itself into the justice system, education, politics and society. It also has given rise to Melanin Theory from prominent African American scholars. That melanin provides Africans physical advantages over Europeans.

Scientific racism, as a result, has spawned a nation of humanity with ideologies that has the potential to heal or harm, stall or rectify through collaborative research and knew theories on the nature of man.

In addition, the classification for a Melanated, African or Nubian today ensued with paper genocide of the same group of disenfranchised people known as Negro, Colour and Black who have been displaced and identity near erased.

Today, Africans worldwide are known as Black, which is a classification meant for degradation in the global system and at the same time once meant White.

Further displacing Africans without a true identity within the political, social and economic landscape today.

Research conducted by an outside entity with no conflict of interest is essential in analyzing the true mental, emotional and spiritual effects of racism through eugenics and scientific racism.
