Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, in "The Isis Papers," posited that white supremacy arises from a genetic fear of annihilation, as whites (melanin-deficient and recessive) subconsciously dread being outnumbered and genetically overwhelmed by melanin-rich Blacks, who she viewed as dominant. She interpreted societal obsessions—like fixation on Black behavior, welfare dependency, or crowds—as symbolic projections of this terror, masking vulnerability rather than genuine critique. Welsing saw such "CBO" (Compulsive Black Obsession) as evidence of whites' neurotic need to control and pathologize Blacks to preserve their identity, though her ideas lack empirical genetic support and remain fringe.
