IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR HISTORY

The reasons for the unacknowledged self-hate that leads to skin bleaching, wigs, and straightened hair
(In reference to the article IT IS TIME TO STOP LIVING A LIE that discusses the alarming rate at which Blacks are trying to escape their skin)

He who entraps you spiritually will entrap you psychologically. He who entraps you psychologically will entrap you culturally, and he who entraps you culturally will entrap you economically.

To rip another people's tongue from out of their mouth and replace it with a replica of yours would be the ultimate in humiliation. To rip another people's language from out of their consciousness and replace it with yours is the ultimate in spiritual subjugation. On a subconscious level the true utterance of that people is forced to stay in silent deference to the spirit of The Invader, and becomes perpetually bound by the shackles of inferiority. In view of the fact that Colonialism has stifled the original languages of African people to the extent that is described in the map above, it means that its psychological effect on the African mind would have had to be immensely profound, severely traumatic, and far-reaching in its scope.

When you process the above information consciously it will be seen that as an African born anywhere on this map, you are living in the wake of a colonial tsunami that in human terms amounted to a race war that exterminated millions, worked millions to death, and consigned the remnant to inferior third world status. A traumatic experience such as this would have helped to shape your present views about yourself and the views that other peoples of the world hold about you. It seems logical therefore that in our quest to find out the reasons for the self-hate that is driving Africans in large numbers to abandon their skin, we need to examine this tsunami on whose tides rode the triple evils of white racism, slavery, and Colonialism.

The end game of this global colonial project was to seize property and displace or exterminate the property holders. And the biggest mistake is to view the past in the past tense, for many great prophets attested to the fact that "He that was evil will always be found to be evil still." If that be the case, methods may have changed, but motives remain the same, for it is difficult to turn a vampire into a vegetarian. Just look around at what is happening in the world today and see if the leopard has changed his spots.

After careful examination of this long dehumanizing experience, it will be discovered that this colonial tsunami left an invisible virus in its wake. This virus acquired its invisibility when its symptoms became so commonplace over the course of time that the victims saw them as normal behavior. What makes this psychological disease so hard to eradicate is that the victims live in total denial, and find excuses to make the disease look like it is not a disease. The new wave of scientists who study the behavior of subjugated Africans call this disease ACUTE NEGRO PSYCHOSIS: a compulsive obsession with the desire to escape your own personhood because of an acquired inferiority complex.

It is spiritual entrapment indeed when you can get a whole race to be ashamed of their clothes, ashamed of their skin, ashamed of their nose, ashamed of their hair, ashamed of their culture, ashamed of their religions, ashamed of their ancestors, and ashamed of The Creator who made them uniquely different to all other races. When you have entrapped a people to this degree you can even cause them to openly proclaim their own inferiority by their every attempt to copy you, for it is well established fact that the copy is always inferior to the original.

But it was only after the coming of The Missionaries of Colonialism that this dislike for self was born, via the portrayal of God as a white man surrounded by a heavenly host of white people. That is serious spiritual entrapment indeed, and it is no wonder that no church has ever tried to change it.

He who entraps you spiritually will entrap you psychologically. He who entraps you psychologically will entrap you culturally, and he who entraps you culturally will entrap you economically.

This inferiority disease makes the slave cling to his master's foot stool, and it makes him desire to be in the company of his master always. It creates a dependency syndrome where the slave feels incapable of living without a master to give him instructions, because following orders seems simpler than using the creative powers of his brain. Therefore in this state of mind the slave is not a threat, because he subconsciously accepts the master/slave relationship and has no desire to be free on his own. All he wants is for the master to improve and become a nicer slave-owner.

But another very important attribute of this disease is that low appreciation for self equals low regard for those that look like self, so as long as this disease is present the slaves will never unite with one another.

Therefore it was decided that keeping this inferiority disease active would contribute a great deal to the longevity of the slave-master's dominion, and it made for better sleep at night in The Big House knowing that the slaves disrespected each other too much to unite.

The longer the slave remains ignorant of the teachings and the methods that were used to BREAK him, DOMESTICATE him, and SUBJUGATE him, the longer he will cooperate in the scheme that continues to enrich other races through the exploitation of African labor and the pillage of African resources.

So as can be expected of any robber or murderer, The Owners of The Plantation placed a taboo on studying the abominable crimes that happened on the plantation, and strongly discouraged their slaves from speaking out or handing down their story. On a daily basis they were terrorized and frequently beaten with an ignorant stick to keep their minds in a permanent stupor, so that they would rather defend their cruel slave masters than think of testifying against them. So the reason why so little is known today about these abominable crimes that shaped the present Black personality is that a vow of silence was imposed on the victims, forbidding them to share this information with their children.

But breaking the vow of silence is exactly what the victims have to do to emerge from The Grave of Negrohood, because in the absence of this story, the rest of the world arrives at the conclusion that there is something inherently inferior that is keeping Blacks permanently located at the foot of the human ladder.

If you see a man walking naked down the street and you do not know that he has been robbed and stripped of his clothes you will tend to be of the opinion that he deserves to be arrested. The tendency would be to condemn the man for his nakedness, and The Robber dressed in the man's suite would be able to walk down the street behind him looking like a righteous gentleman. This is what happens when you honor The Discoverers and The Founding Fathers of The Plantation and keep silent about the role they played in enriching themselves off the backs of those that now walk the street naked today.

To get a better understanding of an epidemic it is necessary to know where it came from.

A forensic examination on the events that shaped today's reality must be carried out in order to connect the dots to the present. It is only then that the people who have been consigned to the grave of Negrohood and eventual extinction will realize what direction has been charted for the ship that they are presently sailing on today. It is only then that they will realize how their present behavior is contributing to their own demise and justifying their sorry plight in the eyes of the world. This is the kind of education that will help The Negro to see how that which has been long considered as "normal behavior" solidifies the image of inferiority that is viewed by the whole world at large.

In this process of deconstructing white racism in all its many forms it will be realized that the above language map does not reflect an accident or a coincidence. It is the result of a carefully planned deliberate strategy whose implementation required the systematic use of terrorism, coercion, and sustained psychological warfare to disembody the African of his original soul and fill him with the germ of inferiority.

Do you remember the days of the whips and the chains, the many forms of torture, the dark dungeons of solitary confinement, the lynchings, the forced conversions, the severe penalties like amputation, and the ordeal of Kunta Kinte? Do you remember the rape of mothers and daughters and sons right in front of your face? Do you remember the daily humiliation?

When your mother, your wife, your daughter, and your son can be raped right in front of your face and you are powerless to defend them, could this not have contributed to the development of an inferiority complex in the fathers of the race? When the women dare not say no to the lusts of their owners and rape is a commonplace thing to which no one dares protest, could this not have contributed to the development of an inferiority complex in the mothers of the race? When you are forced to curse your real name and walk in the name of your owner could this not have contributed to a subconscious acknowledgement of inferiority? Can you be tortured and raped and humiliated in this manner for centuries without developing a psychological conviction of impotence and inferiority towards those that built a seat on top of your head?

(Do you really really remember how you got your slave name? When you had been thoroughly broken-in you began to accept it. When you became deficient in your sense of I-story you started to like it.)

When one reflects on this significant mind-altering experience that has taken place one should ask oneself: in what other ways has the African mind been altered to suit the ambitions of The Invaders? This article is about the many other ways in which the African mind has been impacted by the psychological warfare of Europe, and the many methods that have been used and are still being used to continue this centuries-long descent into the pit of inferiority.

If you are a child of The Transatlantic Slave Trade and Euro-American colonialism, it means that for the past five hundred years you have been placed by force at the bottom of an economic power structure that has been building its wealth on robbing and exploiting Black lands and Black bodies with the full blessings and authorization of State and Church. That is why in nearly every land that you visit, the African is not the owner, he is always the labor provider. That is also why the face of malnutrition and starvation is almost always inevitably Black. In a very real sense the African became The Vampire's favorite blood donor.

From every direction The Vampires came, and are still coming, to get a piece of Africa.

But The Colonizers could not afford to restrict themselves to taking over Black lands and Black bodies alone, they had also to take over Black minds. This colonizing effort to project Europe and America into first world status at the expense of Africans also required converting the African into a new inferior species with a state of mind that would facilitate his perpetual subjugation. It was well understood that if subjugation of the colonized people is not perpetual it would spell disaster for the colonizers, because they would not now be able to enjoy the spoils of the robbery. Therefore psychological subjugation must be an ongoing project, and it is not an accident that, along with COKE-acola, every slave must now have a TV.

It was well known to The Colonizers that if a people can be made to believe in their own inferiority they will voluntarily worship and serve those that they consider superior without the need for physical coercion. Even after they have been brutally robbed of their land and their labor for centuries they will believe that vast land ownership and the spoils of the robbery are the rightful inheritance of The Robbers, and that landlessness and poverty is something that Negroes inherited from God.

It was also well known to The Colonizers that with the help of religion, such people can be made to view the history of robbery with resigned acceptance, and to view the beneficiaries of robbery as the favored children of God on whom have been bestowed "blessings" that are worthy of "Thanksgiving."

So converting the African to inferiority was worth the time, the research, and the diligence that were invested in the project to structure the teaching of History and Religion in a suitable way to achieve the desired goal. As a result of this intellectual collaboration between State and Church, history was worded in a certain way to erase knowledge of the criminal nature of the evil doers, and religious teaching was carefully structured in a certain way to make The Captives feel that it was they themselves who were the criminal-natured people that had been cursed by God, and that The Colonizers were sent by GOD to do Africans a favor and save them from Obeah and Voodoo. Many Africans actually fell for the Missionary's story and ended up worshiping the image of The Real Devil.

Through this centuries-long intellectual collaboration between State and Church, a new species evolved that is commonly known today as A NIGGA or A NEGRO, an artificially created creature who is ashamed of his own God-given nature, and whose life purpose is to serve the Caucasian and make him wealthy.

In order for justice to be served HIS-STORY MUST BE DISCREDITED, for it represents the perspective of slave owners and slave dealers who turned the truth upside-down to cover up crimes against humanity. By misrepresenting the events of the past they created a kingdom where the multitudes are now LIVING A LIE as they celebrate crimes, and honor Buccaneers and pirates and criminals. This type of historiography constitutes psychological warfare, for it damages the minds of conquered people by inferring that their humanity is not accounted for by God.

If you are a child of this colonial history then you are a child of this social experiment to clone A Negro, and this means that many of the inferior habits and customs that you now take for granted are a result of the sustained psychological warfare to which you have been subjected over the course of centuries. But the intent has always been to use HISTORY to misrepresent the past, so as to keep you oblivious to the severity of the injustice that shaped the quality of Black life today.

Therefore through misrepresentation of the events of the past, the robbery of your land became known as "discovery." and the dehumanizing of your fore-parents became known as a "civilizing" mission to "save" your fore-parents. So in a very real sense you are the double victim of HIS-story, in both the doing and the telling. When the enslaved mind has been thus switched upside-down the slave will find himself celebrating his own enslavement every time he celebrates Thanks-giving day, Discovery day, Settler's day, Crop-over, etc.

Even though today he owns nothing that has been "discovered," and even though today when the crop is over it is the Plantation Owner who is counting the vast profits, the ignorance of the slave is exploited as he dances and sings and gives thanks for the great "blessings" that have been bestowed on The wily Slave-master. Credit this ignorance to THE BREAD OF FORGETFULNESS AND THE WINE OF SHALLOWNESS that have always been part of the slave's die-it under the care of State and Church.

Freedom from the cage of deception that has been built by lies and misinformation can therefore only be attained when the captive starts to view history from the perspective of those at the bottom of the slave-ship instead of from the perspective of the owners of the slave-ship.

DEFICIENT IN THEIR SENSE OF I-STORY
Think about these chickens in a cage. If you asked these hapless victims of human greed: do you know that your grandmother ended up on a plate, and that the slave master ate her legs and her breasts, and the slaves in the yard ate her back and her neck, they would not have a clue. Just because crumbs are dropped into their cage every morning they possibly see this as benevolence, and in their simple minds they probably believe that it is possible to make an alliance with the man that eats chicken legs.

They are deficient in their sense of I-story, so they do not know that the man that is feeding them today is sharpening his knife to kill them tomorrow. It is a tragic situation indeed when you do not have a sense of I-story, but that is just as The Owners of the Plantation wanted it. That is why the Pastors keep feeding the Sheeple with the bread of forgetfulness and the wine of shallowness.
So it is clear that if the perimeters around your mind are still those that have been set by State and Church it means that you are still under a spell that URGENTLY needs to be broken.

Indisputably, Black exploitation, slavery, colonialism, and racism have always been the corner-stones in the building of this present-day edifice of disguised slavery, where those that were robbed and enslaved still remain THE VULNERABLE ENTRAPPED LABOR PROVIDERS in a system that continues to enrich those that inherited slavery-wealth, and continues to view black bodies as cheap expendable tools.

This history of robbery, enslavement, and dehumanization is the basic bottom-line that THE APOLOGISTS FOR THE DEVIL try lamely to dismiss with terms like "life is complicated" or "life is unfair" as if life is the criminal and there is no one else to blame. But the history described above is the matrix and the matriarch of this present global order that, in the absence of any major social earthquake, was bound to foster a social order where color continues to be a major issue.

Therefore as a result of this long history of dehumanization and psychological warfare that has lasted for centuries, it is inevitable that many of those that have been dehumanized will view their color, their hair, and their features with dismay and regret.

This dismay and regret is a logical response to the unchanging color strata of the typical slave plantation where Black is the color at the bottom of the ladder and white is the color at the top. Initially there was never any doubt that the color of one’s skin is very important in determining one’s chances for progress and success. This is quite evident in the fact that there is such widespread pride and jubilation in being crowned “A FIRST BLACK … to do so and so.” What this really means is that at last, despite the barriers that keep the millions locked out, one Negro has made his way through the cracks. The question often begs itself, how many became disillusioned and gave up because they recognized that no matter how brilliant their mind, their color precluded them from being recognized for their brilliance.

As time marched on into the twenty-first century, the slave plantation grew so fabulously wealthy that even the common slave found himself with a car and a TV. But though the material conditions of The Plantation had improved, the improvements came at the expense of losing your soul in the rat-race to get the dollar for The Extortionists, The Rent Collectors, and The Bank. And along the way it often meant kissing a whole lot of ass to get hired or to not be fired.

But so many of the slaves had already lost their dignity during the process of dehumanization that bowing and kissing ass on a daily basis did not matter to them the slightest bit. Like the rest of inferior behavior that had been acquired on the plantation, kissing ass had now become a way of life, and parents were even training their children to be good ass kissers. With the improvement in slave dwellings and the inclusion of entertainment in the slave Die-it, slaves became satisfied with a life of daily toil where the greatest part of the profits go to The Owners of the Plantation. Just as long as they could come home at night and bite on the bread of forgetfulness and watch TV they were content to drown the truth of their reality in TV HAPPINESS.

As far as they were concerned, it was better to hold on to their subservient condition than to risk offending their owners with talk about Reparation and African Liberation.

Also with the process of modernization, those at the bottom of the plantation were required to play a more active role in the day-to-day management of the plantation. So the lines became a bit blurred with the emergence of a Black middle class, and it seemed like progress could be made to some extent, despite color.

But the fact that former cane-cutters and cotton pickers could now have two cars in the driveway and a flat screen TV does not belie the truth that on a global demographic level the color strata is basically the same as the one that was laid down by The Founding Fathers of the Plantation: Black at the bottom, white at the top. First world, Third World. It has thus become the natural order of things for The Developed world to continue developing itself by bombing and robbing and exploiting the other world into under-development, in much the same way that it bombed and looted and robbed its way into development.

So because of this present-day global stratification where white automatically means first world and Black automatically means third world, and in light of the sustained psychological warfare that constantly beams to black minds a message of Black inferiority and white superiority, it is to be expected that people of darker skin would be vulnerable to the implied subliminal message that color can make you or break you.

While it would be great if every African had the heart of a lion to resist the psychological darts of white racism, one must realize that sustained psychological warfare coupled with relentless economic pressures have forced many to make a choice between martyrdom and timid survival. For it has always been a form of martyrdom to stand up for your God-given identity as an African on Hell plantation.

To grow your beard and your locks, or to allow your wooly hair to show could cause you to be ostracized and scorned.

You could find yourself without a means of survival in a system where The White World Order controls nearly all means of survival.

To wear your African clothes on an ordinary day when it is not Kwanza could cause you to be viewed as a queer costumed weirdo or "a radical,"

and to be born in the untainted likeness of your African ancestors could cause your very own mother to be dismayed at the sight of your Black face in the cradle of your birth,

so predictably many have been led to believe that their God-given identity is a curse, and they therefore think that bleaching their skin and straightening their hair may help their life chances. The psychological warfare has been so effective that in the psyche of many Black women it became unthinkable to leave home without A CROWN OF INFERIORITY in the form of a white woman's wig.

Most human beings are survivalists, doing whatsoever they think is necessary to survive, even when it means sacrificing their own integrity, debasing their own soul, defacing their own image, and burying their own head under a humiliating wig of inferiority, for this is what was required to survive on Hell Plantation where white racism has always been the culture, the law, and the religion.

Such is the way of institutional racism and sustained psychological warfare that after many generations the victims internalize the virus. Long internalization of the virus will cause them to relegate to inferiority any idea or any concept that comes from their own root.

To grow locks and declare God to be a Black man therefore strikes to the very core of the self-hating spirit that has been cultivated for centuries by those Churches and legal institutions that made WHITE WORSHIP the center-piece of their ministry through the sanctification of White Jeezus.

Long internalization makes the virus invisible even as it sits in the highest seats of authority, but there is a strong subliminal message that is being sent by our leaders to the girl in the street who is trying to get whiter. That message is subliminally implied in the two images below, and it says that:

(African leaders psychologically collared and tied, and strait-jacketed in the image of U-rope , sending a loud message to the world that the U-ropean standard of beauty is superior, supporting the racist stereotype that Africans did not even have the sense to wear clothes until Europeans came.)

He who entraps you spiritually will entrap you psychologically. He who entraps you psychologically will entrap you culturally, and he who entraps you culturally will entrap you economically.
