How to Make an Economic or Ghetto Slave
A Lesson for the New Millennium by Willie Lynch III
Building on my great-grandfather’s work, we can see how we can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. We will focus on the current methods of containment that they use on themselves:
Ignorance
The ignorance of blacks is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "the best way to hide something from a black is to put it in a book." That statement is so true.
We currently live in an information age. Blacks have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom and integration yet; they refuse to read.
There are numerous books readily available at Border’s, Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com that would help them reach economic equally (what should have been their fight all along), however, very few of them read consistently if it all.
As long as we continue to publish books for our benefit and keep books, computers and the Internet out of their hands we will never see the masses of them rise above the slums and projects. My great-great grandfather said, "For example, you take the slave, if you teach him all about your language, he will know all your secrets, and he is no longer ignorant... and having a fool is one of the basic ingredients incidental to the making of the slavery system."
"The masses of them are fools because they don’t read."
They will never figure out that we have all the information a person needs to succeed in America in the books, magazines and newspapers we read all the time.
Greed
Greed is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks since the abolishment of slavery have had large amounts of money at their disposal.
Last year they spent 9 billion dollars during Christmas and represent about 450 billion dollars in purchasing power. That will easily allow any of us to use them as our target market for any business venture.
Being primarily a consumer people they function totally by greed. They continually want more without any regard for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business or a community development organization.
Some will even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU. They still think that having a Mercedes and a big house in the middle of the ghetto gives them "status" or that they have achieved the American dream.
They are fools. The vast majority of their people are still in poverty. Living in slums, projects and rundown homes. What have they achieved?
Their greed holds them back from making better communities for themselves. With the help of BET and the rest of their black/negro media, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike.
They will continue to congregate in their "buppie" communities and slums trying to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses.
Some would argue that the last method is the most powerful one of the three, Selfishness, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can contain them in a slave status. We all know that any group united under one vision can accomplish anything.
The Bible shows that even God acknowledged in the Tower of Babel story that a people united can accomplish anything.
Selfishness
One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A "Talented Tenth" he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some "form" of success, however, that segment missed the fullness of his work, They didn’t read that the Talented Tenth was then responsible to aid the Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life.
Instead, that segment has created another class, a buppie class that looks down on their own people or aids them in a condescending manner through various community and fraternal organizations.
The selfishness of the buppie class and the "it’s all about me" attitude that is prevalent throughout their people has caused them to isolate both classes and caused them as a whole to achieve nothing great for themselves in the form of solid communities, business or economic empowerment. They will never achieve what we have.
Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance or when they do get together their selfishness gets egos in the way of the goal. Their so-called help organizations, with large budgets and some existing for almost a hundred or more years, seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change to the communities in which they live.
They are content to sit in conferences and conventions and talk about what they will do and award the best speakers a plaque. Is their no end to their selfishness? I doubt it. They lack essential information for combating selfishness and that is that Together Each Achieves More.
They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own. Most of those buppies are one or two paychecks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and boardrooms.
Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as we keep them from reading, Let them buy anything they want and keep them thinking that they are really "helping" their communities by paying dues to some organization. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember ...they don't read.
