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.

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.

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. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
