AFRICAN BY NATURE® Presents   The Original Mother   THE AFRICAN MADONNA   Denial: An unconscious defense mechanism used to reduce anxiety by refusal to acknowledge painful realities, thoughts, feeling or facts that are consciously intolerable.
Historically, alabaster "white" madonnas are far newer than their African counterparts. White Madonnas only began appearing during the Middle Ages, around the time the Marian cult finally gained approval with the Catholic Church.
