Introduction
This writing was compiled in relation to the 300th anniversary of Willie Lynch's theory. His system was introduced in the colonized state of Virginia on the bank of the James river in 1712 to slave owners with the promise of a fool proof conditioning on "how to make a slave, and keep a slave a slave" that would be effective for 300 years. 2012 is the year of the manifestation of this theory and scheme materializing as a truth.

It is a fact that the ailments of this conditioning are recognizable in today's cultural behavior within the descendants of slaves here in North America. I will be quoting the William Lynch speech of 1712, then elaborating on the current existence of his theory in our behavior pattern and train of thought. I will then extend a proposed solution to reverse this conditioning. Although, these ideas will not be effective without the necessary application of the proposed solutions shared in this book.

I am sure that if we put as much intelligent information into our minds as we do self-destructive material, we would be striving for a different agenda opposed to obtaining cars, rims, jewelry, dope, and hoes. Instead, we would be striving to build our own brand of vehicle, focusing on establishing financial empowerment through home ownership, creating products instead of consuming products, and molding our women into Michelle Obama's and Oprah Winfrey's opposed to prostitutes and strippers.

Along with the theoretical solutions in this book, you will find some questions in reference to the existing psychological issues and economical circumstances that we are suffering from as a people. Selective pieces of this writing were composed to make you question yourself and your actions, or to simply provoke the question of "who is going to take on the responsibility to be responsible for our youth, and the economical development of our communities?" 

In concluding this book, I will suggest what I feel to be realistically attainable solutions to the dilemmas that we suffer from personally, culturally, and financially. Keep in mind that these ideas will only be intelligent thoughts until application is placed behind them, individually (self) and collectively (as a community).










Authors Note

The italic text is the content of the Willie Lynch letter / speech drafted from a public proclamation amongst fellow slave owners.

The regular font throughout this text is my commentary on the information within the Willie Lynch letter.

The bold text represents quotes that corroborate the information shared by the author.

There has been a debate raised in relation to whether William Lynch and his document were a fabrication. 

My reaction to this debate is – No matter if he or his document is true, the conditions described are truly existent within the culture of the descendants of slaves.

                                Chapter One
                        Faces of Slavery

Gentlemen, I greet you here on the banks 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 old highways in great numbers you are here using the tree and 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 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.
Stemming from the opening words of William Lynch's letter, it is evident that there existed an economical principal in the slavery era. The subject of economics is not what I have chosen to analyze primarily, but it will be addressed initially. 

The ultimate focus of my analytical critique of the Willie Lynch theory is the superiority complex that corrupts the minds of colonialists and the inferiority illusion they develop in the minds of their exploited targets / prey. This writing may have a discursive feel to it, although, it is necessary to elaborate on the plethora of issues that make up Willie Lynch's theory.

There is proof of the European colonialist’s desire to control the African American and subject us to menial positions throughout the channels of society, academia, political and judicial dais, and corporate / industrial structures. This millenniums form of lynching can be equated to the penal system. With today's prison industry and the profit that they generate, prison has replaced the institute of slavery. 



Prisons manufacture goods for less than sweat shop labor but are not considered as sweatshops. By comparison they are simultaneous. Merchandise is produced in high volume for low wages.

There are also a multitude of systems that generate income within these prison structures; commissary, labor, telephone systems, and medical services are capitalized on for maximum profit. These areas are capitalized on to generate monies for private prison owners and their shareholders. 

This fact motivates shareholders who are often politicians or community figures to compose laws that conflict with the lifestyle(s) of Black Men in order to fill up the prisons that they are invested in. Thus, filling their pockets. These same laws are being ruthlessly enforced by their extended fraternal brothers; the police.

These oppressive forces are joined with the judicial system, hanging individuals in a different but similar fashion by issuing excessive prison terms for petty offenses; terroristic threats, minor drug offenses, and wrongful convictions. 

Ignorance on behalf of our people on existing, proposed, and amended laws bring about law violations that are employing these shareholder's family members and associates. This causes the opposition of these tailored laws being passed to stand at a minimum of protest. 
The jobs that are created through this fraternal order are not intended to be made available to individuals of the urban community. This is clearly indicated by the remote locations that these prisons are erected. 

Today, it is no longer socially permissible to use race explicitly as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet as civil rights lawyer-turned-legal scholar Michelle Alexander demonstrates, it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways in which it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once labeled a felon, even for a minor drug crime, the old forms of discrimination are suddenly legal again. In her words, “we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.”1


In actuality, racist powers no longer have to hang us because we are hanging ourselves with the self-destructive behavior that is entertained and glorified in our culture. While walking the streets of underserved communities and the galleys of prison floors, I have witnessed the corpses of Black Men "hanging" out. We are hanging out at the liquor stores, clubs, dope houses, and hanging out on street corners. This epidemic is contributing to the scheme that was put in place to deter the progress of the Black Man. 

Believe me when I say that, “they are proud of us”. They are proud that we have trained ourselves to kill ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 



The statement "having uprisings" in Mr. Lynch's letter is implying that during slavery, we were not content with our conditions, and did not approve of the circumstances of slavery. Today we seem to be living in contradiction to our revolting ancestors when an assessment is made based on how we are living and what we will accept.

By the time I left the ACLU, I had come to suspect that I was wrong about the criminal justice system. It was not just another institution infected with racial bias but rather a different beast entirely. The activists who posted the sign on the telephone pole were not crazy; nor were the smattering of lawyers and advocates around the country who were beginning to connect the dots between our current system of mass incarceration and earlier forms of social control. 

Quite belatedly, I came to see that mass incarceration in the United States had, in fact, emerged as a stunningly comprehensive and well-disguised system of racialized social control that functions in a manner strikingly similar to Jim Crow.2

When we educate ourselves, and gain financial empowerment, we are personifying “the uprising,” which are the individuals that threaten the investment of slaveholders. In his words it is described as "losing valuable stock." This phrase is indicative to the lack of value placed on the lives of Blacks as human beings. The perspective of the colonialists defines Blacks as mere stock. In the eyes of the colonialists, the only value we possess is the worth of our labor, or the cost of our sale. Today the only value we have to them is being a consumer. 

Today we are killing one another as they were killing us then, because value has been displaced on our lives. In our culture material items determine our worth, and classifies our social status. Believing that someone is better than us based on superficiality is a form of ignorance. 

When we begin to educate ourselves, stand up for ourselves, and build for ourselves in our communities, we then fit the description of the individuals that they intend to oppress. Such action on our part is considered rebellious behavior in the mind of the colonialist, which infuriates them and causes more intricate schemes to be devised.

In my bag here, I have a foolproof method for controlling you Black slaves. I guarantee every one of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 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 is there only because it starts with "A", the second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, status on plantation, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine hair or coarse 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 is stronger than adulation, respect or admiration.
The black slave after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and s elf generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.
	Don't forget you must pitch the old Black make 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 all 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.
Love, respect, and trust are the areas that we struggle the most with as African Americans. Many aspects of the Willie Lynch indoctrination are shockingly apparent in the lifestyle of African Americans. 

Division is a simple part of his plan. This strategy has proved to be difficult to remove from the character of our people. We have to be aware of the reinvention of old strategies in order to identify the traps that are placed in front of us today. His plan has been rewritten and disguised, then implemented during different times of our history; Jim Crow, Chattel property, and the Penal system.

It is not an absolute truth that distrust is stronger that trust. Faith is relevant to trusting. What is more powerful than faith? 

Envy is not proven to be stronger than adulation, validation or respect. Envy can be thwarted by respect for the simple fact that you cannot envy someone without acknowledging the individual(s) first, then respecting their significance. 

Fear is the most overwhelming aspect of this equation. Nevertheless, fear is empowered by mystique, and or the lack of courage. The truth is that all these factors can be taken control of by changing the way we think.


Referring to the statistical reports on black consumerism, there is a red flag spelling out dependency. Our low percentage of generating black dollars with black businesses is an indication of the distrust that exists amongst our people. This ideology was instilled by the colonialist of old time and has been implemented in a more discreet fashion by their offspring in our day and time. Why don’t we buy Nike stock instead of those new Nike sneakers.

BLACK SPENDING ( USA Today) 

Next time you see that 'player of the year' flawsin' in that 2008 Chrysler 300 sittin' on 26's while he's pulling it into a parking stall of a rented apartment hand him this article. USA Today article on Black Spending Habits: These are tough economic times, especially for African-Americans, for whom the unemployment rate is more than 10%. 

Alarmingly, rather than belt-tightening, the response has been to spend more. In many poor neighborhoods, one is likely to notice satellite dishes and expensive new cars. 

According to Target Market, a company that tracks black consumer spending,blacks spends a significant amount of their income on depreciable products. In 2002, the year the economy nose-dived; we spent $22.9 billion ($22,900,000,000.00) on clothes, $3.2 billion ($3,000,000,000.00) on electronics and $11.6 billion (11,000,000,000.00) on furniture to put into homes that, in many cases, were rented. 


Among our favorite purchases are cars and liquor. Blacks make up only 12% of the U.S. population yet account for 30% of the country's Scotch consumption. Detroit , 80% black, is the world's No.1 market for Cognac (Pass The Courvoisier). Detroit is also the number one crime city of America . 

So impressed was Lincoln with the $46.7 billion ($46,000,000,000) that blacks spent on cars that the automaker commissioned Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, the entertainment and fashion mogul, to design a limited-edition Navigator complete with six plasma screens, three DVD players and a Sony PlayStation2. The only area where blacks seem to be cutting back on spending is books; total purchases have gone from a high of $356 million in 2000 to $303 million in 2002. This short-sighted behavior, motivated by a desire for instant gratification and social acceptance, comes at the expense of our future. 

The National Urban League's "State of Black America 2004" report found that fewer than 50% of black families owned their homes compared with more than 70% of whites. According to published reports, the Ariel Mutual Funds/Charles Schwab 2003 Black Investor Survey found that when comparing households where blacks and whites had roughly the same household incomes, whites saved nearly 20% more each month for retirement, and 30% of African-Americans earning $100,000 a year had less than $5,000 in retirement savings. 



While 79% of whites invest in the stock market, only 61% of African-Americans do. Certainly, higher rates of unemployment, income disparity and credit discrimination are financial impediments to the economic vitality of blacks, but so are our consumer tastes. By finding the courage to change our spending habits, we might be surprised at how far the $631 billion ($631,000,000,000.00) we now earn might take us.3

Unknown to most, there are methods that psychologically coerces us to distrust and to be envious; pitting one against the other. They have been put in place in obscure forms such as music and movies by the glorification of destructive behavior and depictions that help to forge a destructive train of thought. Once it is imbued upon our minds, the factor of control has taken root. 

We are also controlled through financial depression caused by a lack of financial empowerment. Minimized home ownership, education deprivation and under employment is due to a lack of thriving black businesses which could produce incomes to afford home purchases, motivate continued education, and employ individuals of underserved communities.

Child support, welfare, inadequate education, politics, law enforcement, prison, drugs, self-hate, and the limitation of resources hold a significant place in the dependency factor. Associating the above mentioned with the following is going to be hard to accept for some blacks reading this, but like Sister Souljah proclaimed "No Disrespect!" 

African Americans have found themselves content with a poor quality of life. Contention can be defined as earning enough just to have spending money; not community/nation building, economical development, not founding businesses. Government assistance has handicapped our drive to produce for ourselves. We have become okay with sitting around waiting on some form of a check; S.S.I., Disability, E.B.T., etc.


The majority of the things mentioned that trigger our demise are perpetuated by us as a people because we don't invest our available time, resources, or interest in providing or producing these things for self. We do not equip ourselves with the proper tools or information to take the action(s) necessary to reverse this dependency. We have allowed these self-destructive elements to become accepted as our way of life; poverty, prison, welfare, racism, war.



2012: Our elders and our youth have a divide that exists amongst them. This is causing the respect level, communication, and trust to almost be extinct between the two. Ultimately, the result of such has severed our source of council and guidance, causing us to repeat mistakes instead of preventing the mistakes made by our predecessors. Unfortunately our foresight has been handicapped, and our vision blurred from identifying any subsequent schemes devised and put in place because of this divide.

“On the other hand, it is necessary to confront your past failures and successes. Analyze them so that you can learn from the experience. By examining your past failures you can prevent repetition of past mistakes. 4

Some of our elders are scared of the youth today and the lifestyles that they represent. This fear causes separation to manifest in many forms; mentally, culturally, and physically. 

Mentally: we are being deprived from the principals and discipline necessary to mold honorable young men and women in our society.
Culturally: the skill sets and traditions that instill purpose in our young men and women are eliminated by the lack of respect and esteem held in regards to our elders.
Physically: both parties try to put as much space in between one another as possible causing family adherence to be diminished.


This divide is being broadened and evoking a great deal of resentment that is triggering an unconscious installation of self hate. Eventually, our youth start despising everything about their selves including their people, their culture, and even their language. By abandoning the little piece of culture they do possess leaves them in the position to where they are prone to adopt someone else's culture or lash out against those of their own race.

There are other reasons this occurs as well. Our people may look at other cultures in comparison to their own and feel like we as a people are inferior, poorer, uglier, and less educated because of our lack of businesses, material possessions, academic status, and financial strong holds. This fuels their rejection and inspires their attraction towards what seems to be appealing in these other cultures.

Now let me pose a question to those who fit the description of such. What are you doing to make our people superior? What are you doing to beautify our communities? Are you creating opportunities or contributing economically to enrich our people financially? Are you educating yourself in an effort to reach and teach our people?

If you don't have any answer to these questions, you may need to do some introspecting and check yourself so you can figure out how you may be able to assist in these endeavors. 

Know that some of the most common symptoms of prejudice are distinguishing by class, education, occupation, appearance, and material possession. An overwhelming need to appear superior causes intense tension amongst the black male and female. Everyone wants to look better, ride cleaner/bigger, flaunt their money. People want to be superior in superficial areas due to contention.

 These elements of prejudice are what create barriers, which prevent us from communicating effectively and obtaining genuine love for our people and ourselves. This scheme is associated with the so-called "differences" that have been erected as focal points to serve as dividers amongst our people.

They say, if you don't want a black person to find something, put it in a book. Divide and conquer is supposedly the oldest trick in the book, but since we are not picking up any books of relevance to our condition we will never discover what we need to be able to identify the traps put in place. 

"The most dangerous place in the world is a public library. If you can read, you can go there and figure out anything." 

Discover the treasures that are hidden. What are you scared of? We can re-condition our thinking and behavior by exercising the newfound knowledge to restore our trust. We should be using the information that we have to reverse our condition.

Gentlemen, these kits are 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

According to the Guinness book of World Records the documented highest population of prisoners belongs to the U.S.A., which according to figures released by the U.S. Bureau of Justice statistics the U.S.A. incarcerates more people than any other country with a total of 2,250,000 people as inmates in U.S. Federal, State prisons, or local jails. 48% of that number represents African Americans.




Their new language is the judicial system and the economical system in relation to prison enterprising.
