Destroy Black Men - Destroy Black Families

Hello Everyone!

Let's get right into it, okay? I hope that you have been sharing this project with your and families and that they are excited about it! We were supposed to find out something about the Blacks in Africa and something about the Blacks in the Americas or Europe. Please post the things that you have found and your family's thoughts and experiences. Here is what I found!

Did you know that African Empires fought against European colonialism well into the 20Th century? One example of this was the Ashanti Tribe. They waged war with the British until the early 1900's. They lay down arms only when the Ashantihene (Sacred King) was taken by gun point by the British during a false peace meeting and imprisoned on the Isle of Gibraltar. The Queen Mother was against the peace negotiations from the beginning and attempted to organize rescues until they were of no use. The Ashantihene spent the rest of his life negotiating for his release. He was finally allowed to return home in time to die on his native soil in the 1930's. The Blacks in African fought for hundreds of years and still fight against the new colonialism today.

Did you know that after emancipation in the U. S. Blacks united to show their political strength. They immediately began electing Black to represent them in every office. They elected officials to city councils and state offices. They also elected officials to both houses of the United States Congress. They were elected from all over including a great many from the south. Districts were redrawn and laws were enacted in order to stop what was happening. It is only recently that we have more Blacks as elected officials than we did in the late 1800's.

As I remind you to share what you have found I would like to move on. I ask you to indulge me in this statement: The most destructive thing that was done to our people was the destruction of the Black Man! You may not agree but let me know your thoughts and opinions after this section. As I said, The most destructive thing that was done to our people was the destruction of the Black Man! When the Black Man was destroyed, so also was the Black Husband and Lover, the Black Father and Brother, the Black Provider and Protector (Warrior), the Black Builder and Worker, the Black Teacher and Role Model! When the Black Man was destroyed so went everything needed for strong Black Families, and strong Black Communities. Without the Black Man, the Black Women and Children are left with no choice but to adapt and do what ever they must in order to survive. By killing the Black Man the slave owner made us dependent on him for everything! The single most important reason for the plight of African Americans today is the destruction and continued break down of our families. All other reasons for our plight have root in this. The solutions to our problems will only come when we rebuild and strengthen our families. When our families are rebuilt, we will be able to rise up as a great nation and to hold our heads up as high as every other nation on God's good earth!

We must collectively commit to reversing to the effects that slavery has on us. I ask again, If you have not read the letters by William (Willie) Lynch circa 1712, stop here and do so! It is not a long text. He gives simple instruction on how to create a slave. He claimed that if done properly, the effects could last as long as three (3) hundred years! What do you think (The Willie Lynch Letter and the Making of a Slave; Lushena Books)?

The destruction of Black men was complete. Our women and children were forced to watch as their most beautiful and most powerful men were taken from them and horribly beaten, mutilated, and killed. Those that survived were reduced to the role of children, or "boy". The only choice they had was death. Loving mothers began teaching their baby boys subjugation as a matter of survival. This taught our women and children that they could not depend on their Black Men. The Black Man could not protect or provide for the family any longer, in fact, he was the one that needed to be protected! At the same time, women were enduring a hell of their own. Women had to assume the role of the man while being raped and tortured at the whims and urges of the slave owner. She knew intuitively that her husband, man, could not protect her as her body became a toilet for the slave owner's release. Again, loving mothers taught their baby girls how to sexually satisfy quickly as a matter of survival.

The results of this was and is devastating. Black Men were rendered powerless and were/are no longer significant to the survival of his family. He was significant only for what he could produce in the matter of work and, of course, baby slaves. Familial roles and titles were changed and switch. Black women are just our "Momma"s, or my "Baby's Momma". Black Men call each other "my Nigga", my "Dog", or just "Baby"! Those that are in control of us are ominously called the "Man"! This has been solidified in each passing generation. We have also come to believe everything that this false head of family taught to us. One of the biggest lies that we believe about ourselves is that our history began at slavery. We must begin to educate ourselves about ourselves. This is how we reverse the effects of slavery. I hope that you can more clearly see the importance of sharing you family history and teaching it to your children.

In order to start rebuilding our families we must begin doing the things that we used to do and stop doing things that no other people in their right mind would do. We must use our God given common sense! Start thinking for yourself! Start defining the world in terms that are relevant and helpful to you! We must stop depending on other people for the definitions and truths about ourselves. We must believe in ourselves and in our own capabilities. We must stop being so afraid of failure AND SUCCESS that we never try either way! WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY GOD HAS OUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART! There is a real fight for control over us, this is a real fight. No one that is in control will freely give up that control. Control must be taken! We must commit to the fight and to it's end. You must commit to the fight, the Struggle in every sense of the word. The end is real SELF-determination, real SELF-defined FREEDOM!!!

The next assignment is to identify the most successful and the most unsuccessful member of your family. Find out what made them what they are and why. Remember that only YOU can define success as it truly should be defined for YOU! Continue to educate yourself on your family and watch your family pride grow. You will continue to find concrete solutions for your family. You should also begin to educate yourself on our true history. Start with the year 2006, right now! We are doing great things now! Let us struggle and fight to build and rebuild our Black Families. Your Black Family! Start there! Build your family!

Sincerely,
The Mr. RAA
