When goodness hurts

In today's society being a spirit filled christian  is no easy task, we often reach out in love with hope that we'll be loved in return, but the world can be a mean place. sometimes it seems like the more you open up your heart the more you get hurt until you become cold and shut-in... afraid to share the great love locked deep within. never let anyone steal you joy, remember that when someone decline to be your friend that's their loss because they will have missed out on a chance to know the beautiful person you are inside where the real you exist. Rejection does hurt and getting stabed in the back by someone you trust can leave lasting pain but christians know one thing for sure... we have a source that we can dip into which gives us the power to stay strong in times of weakness, that source is Jesus. Christians are naturally weak due to the fact that we're human but we are made strong in Christ Jesus, he gives us the power to forgive when done wrong, to smile in the mist of  our most difficult days and to find peace when anger overtakes us. Hold your head up and trust God to direct your life and he'll supply all your needs according to his will.

Lynchism

Willie Lynch Syndrome
are you a victim?

Are you familular with many of the steriotypical brands commonly aplied to black Americans. Rougish, lazy, violent loud and rude are just a few.the point is how much of this is true? Research and observation has validated that 60% of it is rooted in truth.
A quick look around your community and you'll see for yourself, black on black crime erupts all around us and yet we ask the question, why are the police always in the black community? No race is free of violence but black people in perticular have a high tendency of violent out burst where simple misunderstandings between neightbors can escalate into a loud public display of profanity and bloodshed. The fact that there are a large number of broken families in most black communities is only one of the many signs that signal a serious breakdown in our ability to unite as a people. Most people don't know it but the mindset of African Americans isn't in a natural state. While in forced servitude, black slaves underwent a transformation that striped away their true culture, leaving many of their native customs lost to the generations that followed. If you are not famiular with Willie
Lynch and his infamous speech I suggest you look it up before continuing, Click on the hyperlink located at the top of the page. Type Willie Lynch letter into the search box and stroll down.

Real or Fake
the authenticity of the Willie lynch letter is the subject of much debate, however there is recorded evidence of such slave control techniques practiced by slave owners during the 16/1800s.
The web is full of people claiming to have proof that the Willie lynch speech is just a piece of junk, written by some African American to stir up racial tension. My personal opinion is that the letter explains the condition of black Americans better than anything I've encountered. In this hub we're going to take a look at some of the cruel methods in use back then and how they devastated the Negro race.

Arrival in a land unknown
History tells us that many of the first Africans brought to the Virginia colony in 1619 was from the kingdoms of Nodding and Kongo and spoke Bantu languages called Kimbundu and kikongo. These were simple people who mined salt rock and tar, which was adequate to satisfy their lifestyle. Children were very important in Ndongo society, initiation ceremonies was performed at an early age to prepare them for adulthood. Now imagine these people being taken away from the land they call home and striped of their language, customs and everything else that made them who they were. The fear that those people experienced upon arrival at Virginia must have been over whelming, families was split up and sold like live stock. White slave owners knew that as more slaves were brought in, control would become an issue, so thus the study of slave behavior was initiated. Not all slaves were the same, knowing all of the weaknesses and differences among them gave owners the opportunity to construct methods that kept law and order on the plantation. There's a logical reason why slave control tactics worked so well, Lynch stated in his speech that his method was so effective that if used right it would take blacks people 300 years to figure it out and we're still working on it. Let me educate you briefly on the subject of brain plasticity and what it has to do with the condition of blacks in America today.


Brain Plasticity


Brain plasticity is the lifelong ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences. As we learn, we acquire new knowledge and skills through instruction or experience. In order to learn or memorize a fact or skill, there must be persistent functional changes in the brain that represents the new knowledge. The ability of the brain to change with learning is known as neuroplasticity. Exposure to a whole new way of life caused a transformation that altered the natural behavior of slaves who had to learn to conduct themselves in a way that kept them safe. Let's look at some of the cruel techniques that were common during the slave era.

Fear- Chattel slavery was of a type that allowed complete ownership of a slave and any offspring's he/she may have or conceive. There were no set laws that governed the treatment of slaves so owners were at liberty to do as will. With repeated beatings and mutilations the Africans soon learned that violation of the master's rules meant pain. The installation of fear was a sure way to break the will to resist, when fear resides it imprisons the mind and erects a wall that prevents one from living out the fullness of life. Africans toiled in a land where they could not enjoy the fruits of their labor by reason of fear and that same fear still grips the black community today.

Distrust- this was another useful tool, it aided in the prevention of organized revolts. By rewarding slaves for snitching on one another the masters were able to ensure division amongst them. Fearful that other blacks would snitch made trust a big issue, distrust is born when communication between two or more people is broken. It's a fact that communication is what allows groups of people to work together for the accomplishment of a common goal. The following biblical passage will prove my point beyond dispute.


Genesis 11:1/ 11: 6-7

and the whole earth were of one language, and one speech. Verse 1

verse 6= and the Lord said, behold, the people is one, and they have all one language: and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Verse 7= Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another.

That passage speaks of a time when the entire world was of one language, the tower of Babel was a great example of what people can accomplish when in communication and what the loss of it can do.


Dependency- Allowing slaves to become skilled craftsmen in town was thought to be a dangerous practice since it promoted independence, why would a slave continue to submit to his master if he could work in town and be compensated? Depravation of such rights formulated in the mind of slaves the idea that their survival depended on the master. When one becomes convinced in his/her mind that he/she is incapable of self-preservation a loss of confidence develops.

Envy- this was generated in many ways, some blacks were house servants, considered one of the more prestigious jobs on the plantation. Slaves of this caliber were well dressed, eat the best food and slept in comfortable surroundings. The field boss was also a sought after job, they were the blacks that worked along with white field bosses to control field workers and hunt down runaways. The field Negro was one of the more lowly jobs and often frowned upon, some slaves was disillusioned and thought themselves to be more highly than others which brewed up hate and envy among them.

What has slavery to do with today's society?


It explains why black people act as they do; behavior patterns adopted by our ancestors have carried over from generation to generation. A large number of blacks in America have overcome the Willie Lynch Syndrome but there are those that are hopelessly doomed to live a life which demonstrates the effectiveness of slave control. We as a people no longer have to rob, fight and kill one another but we still do, when will the madness end?
