I thought this was the most appropriate time for ALL OF US to re-read, remember and NEVER FORGET, the speech given by Willie Lynch a slave owner who over 300 years ago devised a plan to help keep Black people divided...
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 in my modest plantation
in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still
the oldest method 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 JAMES, whose BIBLE we CHERISH, I saw enough to know that
our problem is not unique. While Rome used cords or wood as crosses for standing
human bodies along the old 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 losing valuable stock by hangings,
