I coined the term "subliminal racism." My 1980 UCSD dissertation, "The Manichean Leitmotif," deals with the "progression" of scientific racism from religion to poetry (letters), politics, science of the mind, and economic dominance--in short, I crack the racist code in the hidden language comprising the controlling "mythology" of White supremacy.
I pointed to the sus generic "ape" ("Mr. Gorilla!" -- see Victorian cartoon) as a "Death's-Head" icon that is deliberately embedded in the mindset of subliminal racists. Click the licks offered here and see for self.
But come with thinking caps on; no dunces allowed; and whatever you do, "read and run" (Habakkuk 2:2) but forget me not---I hate plagiarizers, too.
In two recent books, "Subliminal Racism Essays" and "Discrete Silence Essays" I presented explications of the "black monkey/ape" imagery that is still with us through articles by contemporary "scienceblog" mindsets that harbor "subliminal racism."
