INTRODUCTION TO THE TEXT
As you look at Black society today, you will see all the hopes and aspirations of Willie Lynch (according to the following letter) operating in their full success. You will also see his methods as the fundamental foundation of all American systems and governing—especially from the left and among self-proclaimed liberals. It is essential to the reformation and survival of Black people that they know and understand this text, because it is only when we know better that we are able to do better.
Warning: This article includes a historical document, "Willie Lynch: The Making of a Slave," which is provided for historical context. The purpose of presenting this material is to explore the striking parallels between the methods outlined in the document and the ongoing practices of modern institutions, particularly in relation to the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
The content contains harsh and offensive historical language, reflective of the time in which it was written. These methods, which were designed to physically divide and psychologically, emotionally and financially contain and control human trafficked captives, into a societal accepted belief of "a slave" and therefore the justification of enslavement by all means necessary i.e. terrorism which persisted under Jim Crow after the abolishment of enslavement and persisted through the restructure of government after the 20th Century Civil Rights era through the three part civil-checks and balance system of Department of Health and Human Services programs, Police Patrol and the Criminal Court System, eerily mirror the methods and culture code still in practice today.
The experiences outlined in this document are vital to understanding the systemic and institutional issues that persist, and they are presented here to offer a critical lens for readers to contrast the past with the present by experiencing the retelling of events which are triggered by and unfold to textbook instruction - involving the subject(s) of this exposé for a clear understanding of why they are occurring and why it is impossible to achieve resolve in the state of Minnesota irrespective of so many protective laws and agencies that address these crimes.
Please be advised that the language used may be difficult to
read, but it is essential for understanding the broader implications of the
issues being discussed.
This speech was delivered by Willie Lynch on the bank of the
James River in the colony of Virginia in 1712. Lynch was a British slave owner
in the West Indies. He was invited to the colony of Virginia in 1712 to teach
his methods to slave owners there. The term “lynching” is derived from his last
name.
[beginning of the Willie Lynch Letter]
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 the
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 occasions. I Caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree, a couple 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 fields 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 full proof method for controlling your black slaves.
I guarantee every one of you that, if installed correctly, it will Control the slaves for at least 300 hundreds years. My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it.
I have outlined a number of differences 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 it will work throughout the south. Take this simple little list of differences and think about Them. On top of my list is “age,” but it’s there only because it starts with an “a.” the second is “color” or Shade. There is intelligence, size, sex, sizes of plantations, status on plantations, Attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, east, west, north, south, have fine Hair, course hair, or is tall or short.
Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of Action, but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust and envy stronger than adulation, respect or admiration.
The black slaves 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 male vs. the young black male, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skin slaves vs. The light skin Slaves, and the light skin slaves vs. the dark skin slaves. You must use the female vs. The male, and The male vs. The female.
You must also have white servants and overseers [who] 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 your keys to control. Use them. Have your Wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. If used intensely for one year, the Slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful. Thank you, gentlemen.”
VICTIMS
OF SUCH WRONGS?
They were
constantly looking for the first signs of the dreaded retribution.
They watched
therefore with skilled
and practiced eyes, and learned
to read with great accuracy, the
state of mind and heart of the slave, through
his sable face. Unusual sobriety, apparent abstractions, sullenness and
indifference indeed, any
mood out of the common was afforded ground
for suspicion and inquiry.
FrederickDouglass's let’s make a slave is a study of the scientific process of
man-breaking and slave-making. It describes the rationale and results of the
Anglo Saxons' ideas and methods of insuring the master/slave relationship.
Let’s make a slave “the original and development of a social being called ‘the
negro.’” Let us make a slave.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
First of all, we need a black nigger man, or 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.
What we do with horses is that we break them from one form
Of life to another; that is, we reduce them from their natural state in
nature.
Whereas nature provides them with the natural capacity to
take care of their offspring, we break that natural string of independence from
them and thereby create a dependency status, so that we may be 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 of the beast together, The nigger and the horse. We understand that short range planning 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 sharp perceptions.
We lay down the following principles for Long range
comprehensive economic planning.
Both horse and niggers are no good to the economy in the wild or natural state.
Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production.
For orderly future, Special and particular attention must be paid to the female and the youngest offspring.
Both must be Crossbred to produce a variety and division of labor.
Both must be taught to respond to a peculiar new Language.
Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be created for both.
We hold The Six Cardinal Principles as truth to be
self-evident, based upon following the discourse concerning the economics of
breaking and tying the horse and the nigger together, all inclusive of the six
principles laid down above. Note: neither principle alone will suffice for good
economics. All principles must be employed For 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 breaking them from one form of mental life to another. Keep the body, take the mind! In other words, break the will to resist.
Now the breaking process is the same for both the horse and the nigger, only slightly varying in degrees. But, as we said before, there is an art in long range economic Planning.
You must keep your eye and thoughts 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 generation.
Therefore, if you break the female mother, 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 her 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 in turn 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 males 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 sign of Resistance in submitting completely
to your will, do not hesitate to use the bullwhip on her to extract that last
bit of [b----] 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
offsprings 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 process of the female nigger.
We have reversed the relationship; in her natural uncivilized state, she would have a strong dependency on the uncivilized nigger male, and she would have a limited protective tendency toward her independent male offspring and would raise male offspring to be dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance.
We reversed nature by burning and pulling a civilized nigger
apart and bullwhipping 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 psychologically 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 offsprings to be psychologically
independent.
What have you got? You’ve got the nigger woman out front and the nigger man behind and scared. This is a perfect situation of sound sleep and economics.
Before the breaking process, we had to be alertly 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 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 independence, 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 re-shifts the position of the male and female slaves.
We show what we mean by example. Take the case of the two economic slave units and examine them close.
THE NEGRO MARRIAGE
We breed two nigger males with two nigger females.
Then, we take the nigger male away from them and Keep them moving and working.
Say one
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 a
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, negotiates her at Will).
The one with the nigger male offspring, she being frozen
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's 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 female savages, we created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever unless a phenomenon occurred and reshifts 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 re-correct 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
the Phenomenon is to shave off the brute’s mental history and create a
multiplicity of phenomena of illusions, so That each illusion will twirl in its
own orbit, something similar to floating balls in a vacuum.
This creation of Multiplicity of phenomena of illusions entails the principle of crossbreeding the nigger and the horse as we Stated above, the purpose of which is to create a diversified division of labor; thereby creating different levels Of labor and different values of illusion at each connecting level of labor. The results of which is the Severance of the points of original beginnings for each sphere 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 crossbreeding horses and niggers, we shall lay down the following definition terms for future Generations.
Orbiting cycle means a thing turning in a given path.
Axis means upon which or around which a Body turns.
Phenomenon means something beyond ordinary conception and
inspires awe and wonder.
Multiplicity means a great number. Means a globe.
Crossbreeding a horse means taking a horse and Breeding it
with an ass and you get a dumb, backward, ass long-headed mule that is not
reproductive nor Productive by itself.
Crossbreeding niggers mean taking so many drops of good
white blood and putting them into as many nigger women as possible, varying the
drops by the various tone that you want, and then letting them breed with each
other until another circle of color appears as you desire.
What this means is this: put the niggers and the horse in a breeding pot, mix some asses and some good white blood and what do you get? You got a multiplicity of colors of ass backward, unusual niggers, running, tied to backward ass long-headed 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 mules 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
Crossbreeding completed, for further severance from their original
beginning, we must completely Annihilate the mother tongue of both the new
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, if 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 being a fool is one Of the basic ingredients of any incidents to the maintenance of the slavery System. For example, if you told a slave that he must perform in getting out “our crops” and he knows the Language well, he would know that “our crops” didn’t mean “our crops” and the slavery system would break Down, for he would relate on the basis of what “our crops” really meant.
So you have to be careful in setting Up the new language; for the slaves would soon be in your house, talking to you as “man to man” and that is Death to our economic system.
In addition, the definitions of words or terms are only a minute part of the Process. Values are created and transported by communication through the body of the language. A total Society has many interconnected value systems. All the values in the society have bridges of language to Connect them for orderly working in the society. But for these language bridges, these many value systems Would sharply clash and cause internal strife or civil war, the degree of the conflict being determined by the Magnitude of the issues or relative opposing strength in whatever form.
For example, if you put a slave in a Hog pen and train him to live there and incorporate in him to value it as a way of life completely, the biggest Problem you would have out of him is that he would worry you about provisions to keep the hog pen clean...
Or the same hog pen and make a slip and incorporate something in his language whereby he comes to Value a house more than he does his hog pen, you got a problem. He will soon be in your house.
Additional note: “henty berry, speaking in the virginia house of
delegates in 1832, described the situation As it existed in many parts of the
south at this time: “we have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by Which
light may enter their (the slaves) minds. If we could extinguish the capacity
to see the light, our work Would be complete; they would then be on a level
with the beasts of the field and we should be safe. I am Not certain that we
would not do it, if we could find out the process and that on the plea of necessity.”
