This letter demonstrates that fear, envy, and distrust were powerful strategic weapons slave owners used to keep slaves mentally and physically in bondage forever. Conditioning slaves to distrust those with black skin who look like them, and to trust only the white slave owner who doesn't. Pitting the old black male against young black male, black male against black female, light skin against dark skin. Ever wonder where that comes from? Does the Willie Lynch Letter involving the making of a slave have relevance to our struggles as African-Americans today? Listen to the letter and decide for yourself.
