Some have proclaimed that a slave was born. I do not agree with this notion because a slave was made by means of a defined calculated and well thought-out plan devised for the purpose of being a beast of burden. We know the reason for this atrocity was to build a nation through and to obtain wealth. But what is not understood, en mass, is how it was designed to be sustainable or that varying forms reappear overtime and this footnote to history has been erased or usually unnoticed.
This reminds me of the powerful
words Harriet Tubman expressed succinctly concerning the effectiveness of this
system of mental conditioning. She was asked shortly before her death, if she
knew how many slaves she freed while conducting the Underground Railroad. She
did not think about it, replying quickly, “I could have freed a lot more, if
they had only known they were slaves.”
From that day in 1619, when it is
believed the first Africans were dragged onto the shores of Jamestown to today
where we’ve witnessed the first man of color elected President of these United
States (or as Jesse would put it – from the outhouse to the White House), there
is no doubt that our story is the greatest story ever told. As it was said in scripture, “the first shall
be last and the last shall be first.” But let’s understand that there was a
plan, a sinister master plan, conceived at some point to ensure that people of
our hue remain the least of thee.
As the story goes, a British
slave owner from the West Indies was invited to Virginia sometime during the
year 1712 to teach his methods to slave owners. Willie Lynch was the name of
the man credited with a speech delivered on the banks of the James River. It is
noteworthy to mention that the James River was named for the diabolical King of
England, who was ironically the same guy responsible for the twenty-eighth
version of the cherished Holy Bible.
Lynch brought with him, as he put
it, a foolproof method for controlling black slaves that will last for a
thousand years. Consequently, it is believed the term “lynching” was derived
from his last name as a way to pay homage to him for delivering this ingenious
approach. The name Willie Lynch is interesting because it may be a simple play
on words. For example, Will Lynch or Will he Lynch. Whatever the reason, it no
doubt had significant psychological implications that played heavily on a naive
race of people.
Lynch began his historic
presentation with a warm greeting: “Gentlemen, you know what your problems are;
I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems. I am here
to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a
foolproof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee every one of
you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least three
hundred years. My method is simple…The black slave after receiving this
indoctrination shall carry on and will become self refueling and self
generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands….” The seeds of devastation
were fertilized and the process of destruction was underway for the making of a
race into slaves.
In the speech, Lynch outlined a
number of differences among the slaves. He stressed to his audience that they
should take these differences and make them bigger. These differences included
such things as age, color, intelligence, fine hair vs. coarse hair, tall vs.
short, male vs. female. These tactics were not new; however they were more than
likely put together collectively for this specific purpose for the first time
as keys to control.
This short eight paragraph speech
was profound in that it was the embodiment of the cruelest demoralizing agenda
ever imposed upon a people since the days when the Romans crucified our Lord.
As Lynch closed his speech that day, he said, “They must love, respect, and
trust only us.” This is the key to producing a successful strategy. Whether
this story is true or not is cause for much speculation. However, as history
demonstrates, a manufactured plan was developed by someone to achieve these
results that continue to this day.
The Willie Lynch letter first
appeared in the early 1970’s but gained widespread notice during the nineties,
when it began appearing on the Internet. Since then, it has often been promoted
as an authentic account of slavery during the 18th century, but its
inaccuracies and anachronisms have led historians to conclude that it is a
hoax. Let’s be honest, I don’t think any reasonable person would think that
those persons present, if there was a meeting, took written notes. However, the
same reasonable thinking person can see that there was a designed plan created
by someone in order to sustain such division. It may have been something as
simple as “divide and conquer.”
So let’s suppose the Willie Lynch
story is a modern creation; either the concept was ingenious or the biggest
urban myth ever. Then it begs the question, why are we still fighting amongst
ourselves. Further, how can the ruling people, or anyone for that matter,
justify a philosophy for building and maintaining a government which sanctioned
murder, among other atrocities, to enslave human beings? This I know, and mind you I was not taught
this in school nor did anyone explain that the government, through legislative
sessions, passed laws to ensure that our bondage was sustained.
This wicked system was sanctioned
by the church in the name of God. Therefore, it is important to understand,
when the church endorsed slavery and the vehicle that drove it, this meant in
the eyes of the system that God himself authorized this immoral agenda. If this
was the mentality of the church, and it is a historical fact that religion
sanctioned and justified enslaving people for centuries. It begs the question,
does that mentality still exist?
And that is my Thought Provoking
Perspective!
