May 24, 2001 STRAIGHT TALK Greetings, Gentle Reader, C. Mason Weaver has written a book entitled "It’s OK to Leave the Plantation." He is black, and his book is primarily ad-dressed to blacks, but it has much to say to others, also. His premise is that blacks have allowed poli-ticians and black leaders to keep them on a de facto "plantation" for their own purposes, to wit: power, mon-ey, fame and self-aggrandizement. He quotes a William Lynch, who addressed a group of slave owners in 1712. In an attempt to sell them on his method of keeping slaves both under control and productive, Lynch assures them that it will enable them to keep their slaves under control for at least 300 years. As I quote from his address (I wish I had room to quote it all), you will see that his system has been spectacularly successful, especially when applied to modern blacks and whites. "Gentlemen, I greet you...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... "I have outlined a number of difference among slaves: and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust and envy for control purposes...take this simple little list of differences, and think about them. "On top of my list is ‘Age,’ the second is ‘Color’ or shade, then 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 are 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 adulation, respect or 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 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 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 your Keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them...If used intensely of one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful. Thank you, gentlemen." Weaver then applies the teachings of this appalling "seminar" to our times. He explains that black leaders (and white leaders) are pitting blacks against each other and against all whites. Their purpose is to make blacks dependent on them, even though they are not in it for anything other than their own wealth, power and fame. Do Lynch’s methods ring a bell? They were used with spectacular success in our recent campaigns. Old people were pitted against the young, black against white, working families against every other strata of society, and all other classes against the wealthy. We slaves learned our lessons well, didn’t we? Do you suppose we will continue to practice it for 300 years? A thousand years? Could be. Then again, maybe we can learned from this document. It depends on how "perpetually distrustful" we have become, or on whether we decide to "leave the plantation." |
