>While there are racial and societal forces at work on us from the outside,
>a
>certain portion of our problem lies within. From the days of our
>enslavement,
>many of us bought into the slave mentality. We accepted the white man’s
>pronouncement that we were an inferior race, and even when we came to
>understand that it was a false pronouncement, it continued to dominate our
>collective psyches; it was a powerful introduction.
>
>The following is an infamous and chilling example of how that mentality was
>ingrained into our ancestors, and into succeeding generations. It is taken
>from a speech give by Willie Lynch, from whose name the term lynching is
>derived. Lynch was a British slave owner in the West Indies, probably of
>Jamaican heritage, who used mind-control techniques on his black slaves and
>then advocated the use of those manipulative techniques to other slave
>owners. He was invited to the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach his
>methods
>to slave owners there, and these are his words as passed down, I think you
>will find them haunting:
>
>Gentlemen: I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of
>Our
>Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you The
>Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia for bringing me here. I am here to help
>you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on
>my
>modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of
>the newest and still oldest methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome
>would
>envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James
>River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we
>cherish,
>I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords
>of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its highways in great
>numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.
>
>I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles
>back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having
>uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the
>field too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your
>animals
>are killed, 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 fool proof method of controlling Black Slaves. I
>guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it would control the
>slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple and members of your
>family
>and any Overseer can use it.
>
>I have outlined a number of difference (s) among the slaves; and I take
>these
>differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for
>control
>purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West
>Indies and [they] will work throughout the South. Take this simple little
>list of differences, think about them. On top of my list is "Age", but it
>is
>there only because it begins with "A". The second is "Color" or "Shade",
>there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantation, status of plantation,
>attitude of owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East,
>West, North, or South, have a fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now
>that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an out line of action
>but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust
>and
>envy is stronger than adulation, respect and admiration.
>
>The Black Slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and
>will
>become self-refueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe
>thousands.
>
>Don’t forget you must pitch the old black versus the young black and the
>young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skin
>slave
>vs. the light skin slaves and the light skin slaves vs. the dark skin
>slaves.
>You must also have your white servants and overseers distrust all blacks,
>but
>it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love,
>respect and trust only us.
>
>Gentlemen, these Kits are keys to control, use them. Have your wives and
>children use them, never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed and the
>good thing about this plan is that if used intensely for one year the slave
>themselves will remain perpetually distrustful.

>Thank you, gentlemen.

>Interestingly on March 17, 1978, a secret memorandum was issued to the
>president and his Cabinet as part of a "comprehensive review of current
>developments in Black Africa from the point of view of their possible
>impacts
>on the black movement in the United States." It was an analysis of the
>strategic social, economic, and political ramifications made by
>then-chairman
>of the National Security Council Zbigniew Brezezinski under Jimmy Carter.
>
>I was provided a copy of this memorandum by Reverend Walter E. Fauntroy,
>who,
>as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, joined numerous national
>black
>organizations in expressing outrage over the memorandum. Reverend Fautroy
>is
>now pastor of one of Washington, D.C.’s most influential churches, and
>chairman of Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He also heads a
>Washington D.C. - based consulting firm specializing in international
>finance

>
>It was Brzezinski’s position at the time that it was not in the best
>interest
>of the U.S. to allow any part of the U.S. black movement to show outreach
>and
>support for the emerging movement in black Africa.
>
>To that end a "range of policy options" was suggested; at least four of
>those
>options reflect Willie Lynch’s approach to controlling slaves. They were:
>
>to elaborate and bring into effect a special program designed to perpetuate
>division in the black movement to neutralize the most active groups of
>leftist radical organizations representing different social strata of the
>black community to encourage divisions in black cities. to preserve the
>present climate which inhibits the emergence from within the black
>leadership
>of a personality capable of exerting nationwide appeal. to work out and
>realize preventive operations in order to impede durable ties between US
>black organizations and radical groups in African states. to support
>actions
>designed to sharpen social stratification in the black community which
>would
>lead to the widening and perpetuation of the gap between successful
>educated
>blacks and the poor, giving rise to growing antagonism between different
>black groups and weakening of the movement as a whole.
>
>Tragically, the infamous Brezezinksi memorandum and Lynch’s predatory,
>racist
>instincts were effective and few of us can deny that the self-defeating
>mentality that he nurtured among his slaves lives on today. Still, too many
>blacks prey upon each other, and those who would hold us back watch in
>delight as the media feeds them with images of conflict within our own
>families and neighborhoods. All of these preoccupations regarding our
>differences, plight, and challenges contribute to divisiveness, which makes
>us all weaker in our battles against racism on the outside. Jealousies
>within
>our racial community stifle productive behavior that might benefit us all,
>and they severely limit our ability to come together for united, positive
>action in which combined strength and shared resources might elevate our
>lives. Our enemies delight in our fractured community. They fear unity,
>trust, and cohesion. We must recognize and resist the insidious
>"race-lynching" of our own. We have to remove our hands from the ropes
>around
>our necks before we can begin to effectively battle our common enemies.

>has been sought to explain how we were put into the condition that we find
>ourselves in today. It confirms the fact that the slave holder tried to

>It was the interest and business of slaveholders to study human nature, and

>Conscious of the injustice and wrong they were every hour perpetuating and

>Let us make a slave. What do we need? First of all we need a black nigger
>man, a pregnant nigger woman and her baby nigger boy. Second, we will use
>the
>same basic principle that we use in breaking a horse, combined with some
>more
>sustaining factors. We reduce them from their natural state in nature;

>their
>needs and the needs of their offspring, we break that natural string of
>independence from them and thereby create a dependency state so that we
>maybe
>able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure.
>
>CARDINAL PRINCIPLES FOR MAKING A NEGRO For fear that our future generations
>may not understand the principles of breaking both horses and men, we lay
>down the art. For, if we are to sustain our basic economy we must break
>both
>of the beasts together, the nigger and the horse. We understand that short
>range planning in economics results in periodic economic chaos, so that, to
>avoid turmoil in the economy, it requires us to have breadth and depth in
>long range comprehensive planning, articulating both skill and sharp
>perception. We lay down the following principles for long range
>comprehensive
>economic planning:
>
>1) Both horse and niggers are no good to the economy in the wild or natural
>state. 2) Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production. 3)
>For orderly futures, special and particular attention must be paid to the
>female and the youngest offspring. 4) Both must be crossbred to produce a
>variety and division of labor. 5) Both must be taught to respond to a
>peculiar new language. 6) Psychological and physical instruction of
>containment must be created for both
>
>We hold the above six cardinals as truths to be self-evident, based upon
>the
>following discourse concerning the economics of breaking and tying the
>horse
>and nigger together...all inclusive of the six principles laid down above.
>
>NOTE: Neither principles alone will suffice for good economics. All
>principles must be employed for the orderly good of the nation.
>Accordingly,
>both a wild horse and a wild or natural nigger is dangerous even if
>captured,
>for they will have the tendency to seek their customary freedom, and, in
>doing so, might kill you in your sleep. You cannot rest. They sleep while
>you
>are awake and are awake while you are asleep.
>
>They are dangerous near the family house and it requires too much labor to
>watch them away from the house. Above all you cannot get them to work in
>this
>natural state. Hence, both the horse and the nigger must be broken, that is
>break them from one form of mental life to another, keep the body and take
>the mind. In other words, break the will to resist.
>
>Now the breaking process is the same for the horse and the nigger, only
>slightly varying in degrees. But as we said before, You must keep your eye
>focused on the female and the offspring of the horse and the nigger. A
>brief
>discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound
>economic principles. Pay little attention to the generation of original
>breaking but concentrate on future generations.
>
>Therefore, if you break the female, she will break the offspring in its
>early
>years of development and, when the offspring is old enough to work, she
>will
>deliver it up to you. For her normal female protective tendencies will have
>been lost in the original breaking process. For example, take the case of
>the
>wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the
>breaking process with two captured nigger males in their natural state, a
>pregnant nigger woman with her infant offspring.
>
>Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break
>the
>female horse until she becomes very gentle whereas you or anybody can ride
>her in comfort. Breed the mare and the stud until you have the desired
>offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again.
>Train the female horse whereby she will eat out of your hand, and she will
>train the infant horse to eat out of your hand also.
>
>When it comes to breaking the uncivilized nigger, use the same process, but
>vary the degree and step up the pressure so as to do a complete reversal of
>the mind. Take the meanest and most restless nigger, strip him of his
>clothes
>in front of the remaining male niggers, the female, and the nigger infant,
>tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite
>directions, set him afire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front
>of
>the remaining niggers.
>
>The next step is to take a bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger male to
>the
>point of death in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him. But
>put
>the fear of God in him, for he can be useful for future breeding.
>
>THE BREAKING PROCESS OF THE AFRICAN WOMAN
>
>Take the female and run a series of tests on her to see if she will submit
>to
>your desires willingly. Test her in every way, because she is the most
>important factor for good economics. If she shows any signs of resistance
>in
>submitting completely to your will, do not hesitate to use the bull whip on
>her to extract that last bit of bitch out of her. Take care not to kill
>her,
>for in doing so, you spoil good economics. When in complete submission, she
>will train her offspring in the early years to submit to labor when they
>become of age. Understanding is the best thing.
>
>Therefore, we shall go deeper into this area of the subject matter
>concerning
>what we have produced here in this breaking of the female nigger. We have
>reversed the relationships. In her natural uncivilized state she would have
>a
>strong dependency on the uncivilized nigger male, and she would have a
>limited protective dependency toward her independent male offspring and
>would
>raise female offspring to be dependent like her.
>
>Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning
>and pulling one civilized nigger apart and bull whipping the other to the
>point of death--all in her presence. By her being left alone, unprotected,
>with the male image destroyed, the ordeal caused her to move from her
>psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state.
>
>In this frozen psychological state of independence she will raise her male
>and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life
>she
>will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but
>physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she
>will train her female offspring to be psychological independent as well.
>What
>have you got? You've got the nigger woman out front and the nigger man
>behind
>and scared. This is a perfect situation for sound sleep and economics.
>
>Before the breaking process, we had to be alert and on guard at all times.
>Now we can sleep soundly, for out of frozen fear, his woman stands guard
>for
>us. He cannot get past her early infant slave molding process. He is a good
>tool, now ready to be tied to the horse at a tender age. By the time a
>nigger
>boy reaches the age of sixteen, he is soundly broken in and ready for a
>long
>life of sound and efficient work and the reproduction of a unit of good
>labor
>force.
>
>Continually, through the breaking of uncivilized savage niggers, by
>throwing
>the nigger female savage into a frozen psychological state of independency,
>by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive
>dependent
>mind of the nigger male slave, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns
>on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and reshifts the
>positions of the male and female savages. We show what we mean by example.
>
>We breed two nigger males with two nigger females. Then we take the nigger
>males away from them and keep them moving and working. Say the nigger
>female
>bears a nigger female and the other bears a nigger male. Both nigger
>females,
>being without influence of the nigger male image, frozen with an
>independent
>psychology, will raise their offspring into reverse positions.
>
>The one with the female offspring will teach her to be like herself,
>independent and negotiable (we negotiate with her, through her, by her, and
>negotiate her at will) The one with the nigger male offspring, she being
>frozen with a subconscious fear for his life, will raise him to be mentally
>dependent and weak, but physically strong...in other words, body over mind.
>Now, in a few years when these two offspring become fertile for early
>reproduction, we will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. That is
>good, sound, and long range comprehensive planning.
>
>WARNING: POSSIBLE INTERLOPING NEGATIVES
>
>Earlier, we talked about the non-economic good of the horse and the nigger
>in
>their wild or natural state; we talked out the principle of breaking and
>tying them together for orderly production, furthermore, we talked about
>paying particular attention to the female savage and her offspring for
>orderly future planning; then more recently we stated that, by reversing
>the
>positions of the male and the female savages we had created an orbiting
>cycle
>that turns on its own axis forever, unless phenomenon occurred, and
>reshifted
>the positions of the male and female savages.
>
>Our experts warned us about the possibility of this phenomenon occurring,
>for
>they say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and recorrect itself
>over a period of time if it can touch some substantial original historical
>base; and they advised us that the best way to deal with this phenomenon is
>to shave off the brute's mental history and create a multiplicity of
>phenomenon or illusions so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit,
>something akin to floating balls in a vacuum.
>
>This creation of a multiplicity of phenomenon or illusions entails the
>principles of crossbreeding the nigger and the horse as we stated above,
>the
>purpose of which is to create a diversified division of labor. The results
>of
>which is the severance of the points of original beginning's for each
>spherical illusion. Since we feel that the subject matter may get more
>complicated as we proceed in laying down our economic plan concerning the
>purpose, reason, and effect of cross-breeding horses and niggers, we shall
>lay down the following definitional terms for future generations.
>
>1. Orbiting cycle means a thing turning in a given pattern.
>
>2. Axis means upon which or around which a body turns.
>
>3. Phenomenon means something beyond ordinary conception and inspires awe
>and
>wonder.
>
>4. Multiplicity means a great number.
>
>5. Sphere means a globe.
>
>6. Cross-breeding a horse means taking a horse and breeding it with an ass
>and you get a dumb backward ass, longheaded mule that is not reproductive
>nor
>productive by itself.
>
>7. Cross-breeding niggers means taking so many drops of good white blood
>and
>putting them into as many nigger women as possible, varying the drops by
>the
>various tones that you want, and then letting them breed with each other
>until the circle of colors appear as you desire.
>
>What this means is this: Put the niggers and the horse in the breeding pot,
>mix some asses and some good white blood and what do you get? You got a
>multiplicity of colors of ass backwards, unusual niggers, running, tied to
>backwards ass longheaded mules, the one productive of itself, the other
>sterile.
>
>(The one constant, the other dying. We keep the nigger constant for we may
>replace the mule for another tool) both mule and nigger tied to each other,
>neither knowing where the other came from and neither productive for
>itself,
>nor without each other.
>
>CONTROLLED LANGUAGE
>
>Cross-breeding completed, for further severance from their original
>beginning, we must completely annihilate the mother tongue of both the
>nigger
>and the new mule and institute a new language that involves the new life's
>work of both. You know, language is a peculiar institution. It leads to the
>heart of a people.
>
>The more a foreigner knows about the language of another country the more
>he
>is able to move through all levels of that society. Therefore, if the
>foreigner is an enemy of the country, to the extent that he knows the body
>of
>the language, to that extent is the country vulnerable to attack or
>invasion
>of a foreign culture.
>
>For example, you take a slave, if you teach him all about your language, he
>will know all your secrets, and he is then no more a slave, for you can't
>fool him any longer and having a fool is one of the basic ingredients of
>and
>incidents to the making of the slavery system.
