Re: Negro Secret Societies That Work To Keep Us Mentally Enslaved!


Dr. Naim Akbar who is a psychologist on the staff at Florida State University and author of the book titled, "Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery" he stated: "Slavery was 'legally' ended in excess of 100 years ago, but the over 300 years experienced in its brutality and unnaturalness constituted a severe psychological and social shock to the minds of African-Americans. This shock was so destructive to natural life processes that the current generation of African-Americans, though we are 5-6 generations removed from the actual experience in both our social and mental lives. Psychologists and sociologists have failed to attend to the persistence of problems in our mental and social lives, which clearly have their roots in slavery. Only the historians have given proper attention to the shattering realties of slavery, and have dealt with it only as descriptive of past events." (Reference: Naim Akbar; “Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery”).

But what was interesting about this study or should I say, the focus of the scholarship dealt with HEALING and we as a collective ethnic group after the trauma of slavery were never given the proper therapy (mental health treatment like other post traumatic stress disorder victims); and the pathology of slavery scarred us deeply. Therefore, in our present day lives as African Americans we still demonstrate behavior and conduct that is consistent with "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome"; all 30-40 million blacks in this country were passed by-way of DNA and genetic coding the symptoms of trauma. So, when I see an African (African American) demonstrating violent behavior, self-hatred, using abusive language, and acting out anti-social behavior against another black person or against another human being, I know that their behavior is a direct result of lacking HEALING and their own victimization has turned inwardly towards another African. (Claud Anderson: “PowerNomics: The National Plan to Empower Black America).

Prior to listening to this CD titled, "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" I must say I did not totally understand some of our negative behavior, as far as the root cause and effect. If I can, I am going to make an attempt to get every family member a copy of that message, so you all can identify and benefit from this awesome information (we live in an information age). This study provided me with a greater insight as it relates to determining and identifying certain negative conduct and behavior demonstrated by African Americans, which should be placed in its proper context of "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" and not only is the purveyors of the anti-social behavior a victim of this illness and pathology, but we all are victims because a system of white supremacy never allowed us the proper channels to HEAL. The next reflection I had, was when I was a freshmen in college. This writer was given perhaps one of the most important books that I have ever read titled, "The Mis-Education of the Negro" authored in 1933 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.. Woodson maintained that western education had failed us as individuals and as a collective race of people. Western Education supported the idea that Africans were inferior and gave nothing to civilization and Africa was considered the "Dark Continent", but whites and Europeans so-called enlightened world society by given the world science, architecture, art, religion, math, etc., through our western education and training, we internalized deep rooted self-hatred for our selves and each other. (Carter G. Woodson; “The Mis-Education of the Negro”).

Our Mis-Education was systemic and we were taught to hate ourselves and anything black (African) and our present day negative behavior towards each other is a direct result of our Mis-Education. We were taught to adopt their mores, folkways and values, which lacks harmony with the universe and our spirit of MAAT (balance and equilibrium) with heavy emphasis on negating our culture and heritage. Thus, certain conduct we demonstrate is coming from a history of Mis-Education and the email I received must be received as an act of Mis-Education, but we all are victims of Mis-Education, which takes us back to the HEALING process and the devastating effects Chattel Slavery had on Africans who survived the dehumanization of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage. (Reference: Claud Anderson: Black Labor, White Wealth: The Search for Power and Economic Justice”).

Many of us do not know that we are Mis-Educated and are suffering from "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" I know that I am, but after being in the counseling profession for many years, the first step to curing any illness is admittance. Dr. Leary stated: "The root of this denial for the dominant culture is fear, and fear mutates into all kinds of things: psychological projection, distorted and sensationalized representations in the media, and the manipulation of science to justify the legal rights and treatment of people. That’s why it’s become so hard to unravel”.

“Unfortunately, many European Americans have a very hard time even hearing a person of color express their experiences. The prevailing psychological mechanism is the idea, “I’ve not experienced it, so it cannot be happening for you.”

“Truly, how can anyone tell me what I have and have not experienced? This is a very paternalistic manifestation of white supremacy, the idea that African Americans and other people of color can be told, with great authority, what their ancestor’s lives were like and even what their own, present-day lives are like. The result for those on the receiving end of this kind of distortion is an aspect of PTSS. People begin to doubt themselves, their experiences, and their worth in society because they have been so invalidated their whole lives, in so many ways”. (Reference Silja J.A. Talvi; On-Line Web Magazine “In These Times” Article titled, “Post 'Traumatic Slave Syndrome; Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary talks About Her Provocative New Book”)

Re: Negro Secret Societies That Work To Keep Us Mentally Enslaved!


I have been mentoring perhaps ten (10) young African American male college students for over the past two years as part of the outreach wing of the KEEPING IT REAL THINK TANK and we have learned to talk openly as a method of HEALING—we delve into the African experience on many different levels, the topic varies from week to week. I would like to think these young men have benefited from my knowledge base and experience. We talked about the state of their HIP-HOP culture and the responsibility they have to lead their peers in a positive direction. A few of these young men have recently graduated from North Carolina Central University; they have since come back to thank me for assisting them in their educational plights.

There is a great African Centered psychiatrist in the Washington D.C. area named Dr. Frances Cress Welsing; she is more than qualified to give us the HEALING we need. She authored the book titled the "Isis Papers". Also, there is Dr. Naim Akbar (author of "Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery) and there is Dr. Kobi Kambon author of "AFRICAN/BLACK PSYCHOLOGY IN THE AMERICAN CONTEXT: AN AFRICAN-CENTERED APPROACH”. Now! Those who live in the Raleigh-Durham area there is Dr. Baba Kamou Kambon (author of “The Last Black man Standing”, we all must pursue HEALING. The sender of that vitriol and divisive email may not even know that he is sick, but I am taking my time to write this and to bring some understanding of why, we do what we do. I AM NOT ANGRY AT MY BROTHER HE IS A VICTIM JUST LIKE ME AND ALL OF US WHO ARE AFRICANS.

Finally, I attended the Million Man March back on October 16, 1995 and Minister Louis Farrakhan gave the Black men present that day a pledge and I had just recently quoted this pledge, but I see the necessity to re-state this timely pledge again in this writing . I do not know, if the sender of that email attended the Million Man March; but this is what Minister Farrakhan asked us as black men to pledge and honor:

I pledge that from this day forward, I will strive to love my Brother as I love myself.

I pledge from this day forward, I will strive to improve myself spiritually, morally, socially, politically and economically for the benefit myself, my family and my people.

I pledge that I will strive to build businesses, build houses, build hospitals, build factories, and enter into international trade, for the good of myself, and my people.

I pledge, that from this forward, I will never raise my hand with a knife or a gun to beat, hurt, or shoot any member of my family, or any human being, except in self-defense.

I pledge, that from this forward, I will never abuse my wife by striking her or disrespecting her, for she is the mother of my children and the producer of my future.

I pledge, that from this forward, I will never engage in the abuse of children--little boys or little girls--for sexual gratification. But I will let them grow in peace to be strong men and women for the future of our people.

I will never again use the 'B' word to describe any female, but particular my own black sister.

I pledge, that from this forward, I will not poison my body with drugs or that which is destructive to my health and well being.

I pledge, that from this forward, I will support Black newspapers, Black radio, and black television. I will support Black artists who clean up their acts to show respect for themselves and respect for their people, and respect for the ears of the human family. (Reference: Kim Martin Sadler; “Atonement, The Million Man March”).

Although this article has more to do with "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" and Healing I would be remissed in my duty, if I did not briefly touch on the slave trade, but the article did not sought this angle as its focus. There is a book titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" authored by the Nation of Islam's Historical Research Department back in 1991; which published perhaps one of the most controversial books to be written in the late 20th Century. The research looked at credible and authentic Jewish sources and historical records to assess and evaluate what the Jewish involvement was in Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage (1440s --1807). The Nation of Islam researchers found that there were overwhelmingly Jewish involvement on every level—buying and selling of slaves—to owning disproportional numbers of slave plantations. They discovered that some of the Jewish Slave Merchants used Gentile and European names and played a much larger role in the African Slave Trade than what was previously known. They were large on the financier end, slave brokers, owners, plantation owners, etc. Moreover, some Jews equated the Nation of Islam book the ”The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" as equivalent to "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" and tried to dismissed it as anti-Semitic material. (Reference: Nation of Islam Historical Research Department; The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews).

Re: Negro Secret Societies That Work To Keep Us Mentally Enslaved!


The Simon Wiesenthal Center hired Jewish Scholar Harold Brackman who wrote the anti-thesis to the Nation of Islam research titled, " Ministry of Lies: The Truth Behind "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" Brackman tried to refute and discredit the Nation of Islam scholars as using shoddy research methods and less than ingenious Jewish scholars as their verification sources. But the Nation of Islam researchers opened up a new research arena and as much as the European Nations played huge roles in the African Slave Trade, but they found something more sinister relative to the "secret" Jewish involvement who even used Gentile Front men to disguise the level of their involvement. Many scholars black and white are fearful of Zionist reprisals and even more fearful of being labeled anti-Semitic, which might cost them their academic careers, if they were to touch the subject of Jewish involvement in the African Slave Trade. Therefore, this subject has not received the needed scholarly attention to either confirm or discredit "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews". But they will not even allow a sensible debate to occur on the topic and subject without yelling "anti-Semitism". The powerful Jewish Lobby groups went after the Afrocentric scholars for daring to suggest and expose Jewish involvement in the African Slave Trade. They went after Dr. Tony Martin, Dr. Leonard Jefferies, Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, etc. They also accused Minister Louis Farrakhan of being the sole author of the book and the Nation of Islam was attacked from every direction by Zionist forces. I am still objective and personally would like to see a greater debate on this issue. (Reference: Tony Martin; The Jewish Onslaught).

We must also understand that it was an inhumane process that the Europeans and American slave masters used to take an African and turn them into a "Negro" and it is nowhere better described, analyzed, and revealed than written in the Willie Lynch letter delivered by William Lynch on the bank of the James River in 1712. This letter reflects the depth of the crime and the inhumanness of the perpetrators and in all of my research this writer has not read anything so descriptive relative to the making of the African slave. This letter in my opinion gives intellectual and scholarly credence to Dr. Leary hypothesis of present day African-Americans could be suffering from "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" There is little doubt that the European nations of France, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, etc., and yes the Arabs are guilty of one of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated against humanity--Chattel Slavery. (Reference: JC deGraft-Johnson; “African Glory: Story of Vanished Negro Civilization”).

"THE WILLIE LYNCH LETTER AND THE MAKING OF THE SLAVE"

“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 's 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 a 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 you white servants and over- seers 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."

There is actually no such thing as a so-called "Light-Skinned

are actually people who are of a 'Multi-Generational
Multiracially-Mixed' (MGM-Mixed) Lineage that some may
have been pressured or encouraged to ignore or downplay.

This is From My Prophetic Dreams:

Based upon the dream I had this morning, we should see signs of OUR GREAT AWAKENING and the DOWNFALL of WORLDWIDE European DOMINATION. In this dream, I was OBSERVING CHAOS EVERYWHERE and I was coming from a GLOOMY place where I had become disappointed with people for a LONG PERIOD OF TIME. As I was OPENING my MIND and growing in spiritual ENERGY, I saw nothing but Caucasians, Asians and their NEGROPEAN LAPDOGS GOING MAD and having all kinds of bad situations in their lives.

Most people will laugh at the idea of Karmic Retribution because they are too myopic and too programmed (by European ideas) to grasp the long range consequences of their actions. But when disease, death, discomfort and loss of love ones occur, it will be TOO LATE for them to learn from their mistakes. Those who LEARN FROM WHAT THEY DO WRONG make the necessary corrections in their lives.

Once you study our tortuous and terror-filled past, you will see the miracle of a psychological transformation becoming manifest in a gradual manner. The psychological defects among us are the after effects of a monstrous war being waged against us on a daily basis. The MENTAL damage may be high, but no other people on the planet have been through what our ancestors went through ( including what we go through today). Physical and psychological casualties are the results of DAMAGED DNA that carries with it a genetic memory that haunts some of our people to this very day.

Re: Negro Secret Societies That Work To Keep Us Mentally Enslaved!


When most people go out on a first date, the person you meet on that date is a representative of that person making the effort to prepare themselves for a possible relationship. The REAL person stays in hiding like a wolf among a group of sheep. These type of people I'm describing put on the best performance of their lives when their DATE WITH DESTINY is a possible mate that's worthy of genuine consideration as a lifetime partner. They laugh at your jokes and they compliment you when there is no reason to do such a thing.

When it comes to revealing why they are still single, they give you the rehashed story of how terrible the other relationships were in their life and they glorify their attributes while putting the other person in a negative light. But when you finally get to know these type of people, who exhibit these self aggrandizing traits upon first meeting, you will find them to be actors living a pretentious life.

When they say they are spiritual, you find them to be phony. When you see their beautiful smile, you find that many of their teeth are false. When you see their kind and gentle nature at first sight, you find out LATER they are mean and arrogant.

When you see their OPEN MIND on the first meeting, you find them to be a CLOSED MIND HYPOCHRISTIAN (low life and small minded hypocrite) who lives a LIE everyday. Not only have they fooled you with their tremendous acting ability, but they have even fooled themselves and their TRUE BEHAVIOR is damn near schizophrenic/paranoid with MANIC/DEPRESSIVE tendencies.

Finally, when it comes to honesty, they clearly don't know the meaning of the word and it is these type of people that you want to keep out of your life.

Re: Negro Secret Societies That Work To Keep Us Mentally Enslaved!


I know that by writing this about Oprah, my essay will be comparable to attacking a modern day Jesus with breasts. However, it must be written by someone who is active in our communities and doing all he can to make a change for us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking Oprah, I'm merely exposing certain elements of her mindset that are destructive to people who have more melanin in their body. On the positive note, she has made contributions to several families who suffered from Hurricane Katrina and she appeared on national TV stating "this is not right" when the United States government showed its disdain for people of color during Hurricane Katrina. The outrage she showed while looking at the horrendous conditions within the New Orleans stadium was heartfelt and I think I began to see some of her humanity and altruism come alive. It was shocking to her that Black citizens of this nation could be treated so cruelly because they were poor. When she saw the government's true nature (by neglecting poor Blacks for 5 days in New Orleans) that should have rattled her senses to where we stand, as a people today. But it appears to be all but forgotten. That disaster could have been a sure catalyst and a WAKE-UP CALL to get more people of color uniting together to help our own kind. But as you know, that hasn’t happened. I cringe when I write this because I have a professional relationship with some survivors of Hurricane Katrina. I see them in my office. Some appear undisciplined and confused as ever. They don’t listen to helpful advice and I don’t see many of them later because they don’t believe in doing a follow up exam or taking good care of themselves. I haven’t charged any of them a penny so there is no excuse for this self neglect. Some of them are on a path to self destruction and it will be the results of a deep seated form of self hatred that borders on the belief that they are unworthy of love. When you don’t feel good about yourself, other people (who look like you) are secretly disgusting too. Now how can you support someone that you are disgusted with? Some survivors are right to be infuriated because many people of color have neglected them too. That’s the message I’m getting from some of them. The government may have watched many of their love ones die needlessly, but without government aid, many of them would be homeless or dead.

In regards to Black assistance, some Blacks have taken it on themselves to join the bashing of a downtrodden people and they make excuses for the racist behavior from a historically racist nation by shifting the blame onto Black folks who are downtrodden.

Getting back to the point of this essay, I would say that we shouldn't be surprised at how rich house slaves feel about us. The reason I've stated this is because all throughout history there have been Black people who have stood with us and there have been house slaves that went against us. We, as a people, have some faults but I choose to believe that we are in this bad predicament because this brutal culture has been designed this way. In fact, Frederick Douglass said it best when he stated the following about this nation in 1852:

“What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy - a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation of the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.”

This nation's shameful past would disgrace a nation full of savages and I agree wholeheartedly with Frederick Douglass in that speech because this nation had approximately 400 years to correct their wrongdoings of the past and today and it has yet to show us justice on the collective level. Correctional Officers can beat a 14 year old child to death on camera and get away with it. White police officers can still shoot Black people down like a dog on impulse today and get away with it and the police incarcerate other Afrikans for just breathing while being Black. Secondly, there is a monstrously evil program in full effect (See Code 666, COINTELPRO, etc.) to criminalize most people of Afrikan descent and this is done because they no longer need Afrikan labor.

They may need trained lapdogs, like Clarence Thomas, who defends this wicked system of brutality but free thinking and conscious Blacks are headed for extinction if something isn't done to stop this onslaught by the police, the prosecutors and the judges. Our children are in danger and many of us may be broke but it is mandatory that we don't give up on ourselves. Just because we have lost the support of people with big money like Bill Cosby and Oprah is no reason to give up our drive for freedom. Oprah may have a point that we don’t support one another, but when she continues to identify with people who oppresses us on a daily basis and she still remains enamored with their way of life, we can see that she would rather be with them than be with people who look like her ancestors.
