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 these victims 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 “[n word]tively". I am often 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, tyrosine, an amino acid, is the main nutrient. Tyrosine is a precursor of melanin and lays the foundation for melanin to be produced. The body must contain an enzyme known as tyrosinase 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, high 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 makes 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 its 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. The pineal gland controls the flow of melatonin during the night hours to activate R.E.M sleep which allows us to 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 also helps to keep spiritual intunement at an apex. The less melanin in an individual, the more calcified the pineal gland and less access the individual has to the spiritual world.
Melanin exists also as biopigment for vision in the eyes of humans and all vertebrates. Color vision is produced in the retina by melanin through photopigments. These allow deeper melanin concentrations, offer 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 require the intake of dairy products to secrete vitamin D. It is important for people with high melanin content not to indulge in dairy products because after the age of 5, 80% of highly melanated people are lactose intolerant. For our people, eating diary leads to blockage diseases in the body. So instead of asking your brothers and sisters if they “Got milk?� you need to ask them the question, “Got Melanin?� This is just one example and also a brief look at the pervasive manifestations of melanin and its uses. 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.

Here's some more on the melanin if you want to know more about it and why I would like to be black blue.
Melanin and Afrikan Physiology
The science of Afrikan biochemistry is based on the melanin biochemical molecule. Melanin is found not only in the skin, hair, and eyes, but it is also contained in many other vital organs of the body as well. It is in the nervous system, the spinal cord, the glands, the brain, the DNA, the muscles, intestines, heart and liver. Its presence can be found throughout nature and is also found in many of our foods, such as plants, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is found in animals, in the soil, in the bark of trees, rivers, streams, and seas.
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. Melanin is a very old, extremely stable, biochemical polymer composed of smaller chemical species in varying amounts, e.g. tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, serotonin, melantonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine also called adrenaline. It responds to and absorbs light, sound, and electrical energy and uses this energy in the body as food. Melanin can convert light energy into sound energy and back again. It has semiconductive properties outside the body. This means that it behaves like a conductor at times and may conduct electricity. It also behaves like an insulator in that it will not allow electrical current to pass through its structure, similar to rubber and plastic insulators. Melanin can bind and release many of the known elements that are essential for proper body metabolism. It can also produce or neutralize radiation or free radicals (antioxidant effect) and is generally present at the site of tissue repair, regeneration of cuts and wounds, and infectious diseases.
Melanin in the human body is synonymous with chlorophyll in plants. Chlorophyll functions as a converter of solar energy and is essential for maintaining the vitality of the plant. Thus, no flora without chlorophyll exists on this planet. White leaves do not exist. Green pigment chlorophyll is necessary for all vegetation. Melanin, on the other hand, is a converter of physical energy. It is responsible for manufacturing and sustaining human life and it keeps the Black human in constant contact with the natural, radiant energies of the Universe.
Melanin is important for proper human physiology. On the molecular level the electrons in melanin molecules orbit and rearrange themselves. They undergo what is called resonance. This rearrangement of electrons causes certain energy shifts in the body. This energy is then used in metabolism and cellular organization. Melanin depends on nitrilosides to keep itself clean. When we eat synthetic or overcooked foods, we don't get enough B vitamins and a lot of toxins are not removed. When melanin becomes toxic, it adversely affects the biochemistry such that the individual becomes susceptible to a host of diseases. As melanin becomes toxic, it is blocked from making the energy changes that are needed and this can result in dysfunction and disease.
According to Dr. Laila Afrika, “Blacks have specific nutritional and dietary needs. These nutritional needs arise because we have specific bodily differences as compared to other races and cultures. For example, over 70percent of Black people (worldwide) cannot digest cattle milk. In addition, the intestinal florae (bacteria, virus, fungus and yeast) that naturally live in Black people’s intestines are unique to Blacks. "Subsequently, Blacks assimilate food in the intestines differently. Also, despite centuries of living in countries outside of Afrika, their intestinal florae are the same as it was in their ancestor’s stomachs 2,000 years ago. Melanin (black colour pigment) is obviously most abundant in Blacks. This melanin aids in protecting Blacks, from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It also increases the speed of nerve and brain messages which are transmitted between the left and right hemispheres of the brain and all signals transmitted throughout the bodily nerve network. Black people’s blood crystallizes differently from white people’s blood. These are some of the many reasons why Blacks have unique nutritional, medical, and dietary needs.�
In the past, melanin was considered by “western scientists� to be a waste product of body metabolism and served no useful function within the body. Recently however, scientists have discovered that melanin is a refined, complex, multifunctional chemical that has a wide variety of important functions within the human body and in the environment. All aspects of our lives are centrally involved and controlled by melanin. One property exhibited by melanin, which is critically important to the well being of the Afrikan, is its ability to combine or chemically react with various drugs and chemicals. Melanin is a storehouse of neurotransmitters (brain signals) and releases them into the body when other sources are depleted. Toxic drugs and chemicals such as pesticides, food additives, recreational drugs and pharmaceuticals can alter and change melanin’s chemical structure, its electrical charge and electronic configuration thus altering many life-supporting activities. Therefore, it is important that we keep all melanin centres and organs functioning properly for good mental and physical healt
Melanin is a brown or black substance which is naturally found in the skin of Africans and people of color. This is the chemical that makes a person appear black. Although all humans regardless of race contain some levels of melanin in their bodies, it is highly concentrated in blacks. Melanin is not only found in the skin, but on other parts of the body as well, such as the hair and eyes. Melanin is also found in the (12) brain centers which energizes the body. Melanin is also contained in the nervous system, the genes, the intestines, the muscles, heart, kidneys, the liver, and in every major organ of the body.
Light-energy has a different effect on black bodies than it does on whites, or non-melanized people. This fact plays an important part, in the significance of treating Africans with the science of Photo-biogenics. Black chemistry research has discovered that melanin reflects the entire electro-magnetic spectrum which is composed of cosmic-rays, gamma-rays, micro-rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, light rays, and radio rays. These waves exist naturally throughout the universe and the length and size of the waves vary tremendously from the most minute to the extreme of several miles. The visible spectrum of white light only represents a small section of the full electro-magnetic spectrum, but the total spectrum which includes white light is black light, and melanin is the solid form of this total spectrum of black light. Thus, our bodies reflect the total electro-magnetic spectrum.
The ancient Egyptians realizing this, treated and nourished the human body with "Radiant Principles." According to the Book of Coming Forth by Day, "In the most hidden parts of man dwells his own reality, his eternal being, his real self. This hidden spiritual nature is Ra."
The ultimate goal of Photo-biogenics (the study of how light affects black bio-chemistry) is the understanding of self, and the relationship between the life-force (Ra) and our spiritual nature, which cannot be attained as long as our eating habits are guided by irrationality.
WHAT IS MELANIN?
Melanin is an important Key to Human Survival, and the only reason why JAH made Black people black, therefore it is a Blessing and can never be a curse. The truth about Melanin is up to now a closely kept secret, for Melanin is Blackness itself, that is to say, the single chemical responsible for colouring the skin pigments in black people, melanin is the human's only protection from the natural rays of the sun. It also possesses the unique ability to absorb various energy sources and convert these absorbed energies in to re-usable energy, this includes mediums such as; Music vibration and sound waves, the sun rays, sun heat, light rays etc.
