This epistle is for all those who have been influenced by the current mainstream ideology that it is reprehensible or an act of individual imperfection or weakness to "blame the white man" for the problems facing Africa and Black America. I (and this is the first time I have used first person to write an article on Afromerica) am going to prove that when it is all over, said and done, and the secrets of life are reveal to men, that the act of the Mid-Atlantic slave trade, slavery and organized racial oppression in America, and the issues facing Africa and Black America to this day and every day after this, is the direct and indirect result of white domination and not of Black inadequacy or incompetence or of anything we have done or not done to and/or for ourselves.

Psychological slavery is the act of obscuring a person's mind to the point that that person cannot think for themselves but are dependant on someone to tell them what and how to think, which in turn influences their actions toward self-oppression. In pre-Civil Rights era, many (and I mean many) of our parents and grandparents were unconsciously conditioned to believe they were mentally (as in intellectually inept) inferior and too characteristically flawed to associate and compete within the white society. And honestly, many of the older generation of so-called Black political leaders still ideological walk through life subconsciously acting from this mindset to the point they continue to demand equal treatment based on the concept of Blacks being incapable of competing in this society, or on the "playing field," thus fulfilling the act of self-oppression.

Granted, there is a difference between individual competence and collective competence and this society was supposedly built on the individual bases when pertaining to accomplishment, however, when it becomes a collective matter, Blacks are partitioned collectively thus treated collectively, and this is how Black leaders lay the foundation for their battles, on a collective bases. Nevertheless, rarely are Blacks judged on individual ability except in small circles of society, such as a small business, entertainment, the classroom, or membership club. All other times Black people is simply Black people.

With that said, when people are either blatantly (as in open racism such as Jim Crow) or by implication (as in negative media images, stereotypes, institutional studies and research data) continuously told indirectly that there is a flaw in their character or way of life, that people will subconsciously absorb this view of themselves and begin to accept it as true, thus inadvertently act the part and expect nothing more than that view or stereotype. For example, if I wanted my wife to hate a particular person, all I have to do is prove to her that that person is worthy of hating.

Now, in this scenario, I am the instigator, I am the agitator, and likewise there are two kinds of Black people in this country, those who are hated and those who are influenced to hate them. Those who are influenced to hate other Blacks are those likened to the scenario of my wife, in whom I have convinced to hate someone I hate and who she does not know and obviously have not the mind of her own to discern whether or not she should be hating them. This is the problem with Blacks who believe that we should not blame the white man but disregard the current remnants of history and blame ourselves. Under the implementation of psychological slavery, they have been encouraged by the white man to hate or be ashamed of other Blacks and their behavior and to criticize them instead.

Not only are Blacks hated and criticized by other Blacks, but whites hate them also, and that much more. The Blacks who have fallen to this state of mental perdition have not the ability to see that it is not us that have the problem, but their hatred and distain for us as a direct and/or indirect result of the malicious instigations of the white man.

Now, the white man is not one white man per se, but a collaboration of many who operate a system designed by him and for him to get the best of what is available, i.e. politics. Not to say that other peoples of the country do not have access to these resources and lifestyles, but the system is designed to serve him first and all others afterward. And this system has been this way for as long as this country has been and long as he has been in control.

Where the Black man comes into play is that, we have access to these resources and the same opportunities are available to us as they are to him, however, through a per-ordained system of survival of the fittest, these resources come as a given to a select hand-picked majority of white America. Oh sure, we can become doctors and lawyers and astronauts and scientist, but not without racial confrontation down the road and yet, more deliberately, it is expected of whites for whites to accomplish these things than it is for Blacks to.

And when we do accomplish these things, we are not called on as experts in these fields as are whites; instead, we become an example to all other Blacks, which fulfills the lie of equal opportunity; a credit to our race excuse to undermine the behaviors of all other (majority) Blacks. Truth is, whites are not yet ready to embraced Blacks as the innovative beings enough to trust their lives, futures, money and economic ventures to a Black mind. And the few who do make sure there is a white mind behind every Black one. In other words, a white person will go to a white doctor before a Black doctor, a white person will choose a white lawyer before a Black one, and a white person will invest in a white business before a Black business. This is reality, thus, it is the white man who continues to hold the reigns of equality in American society and has nothing to do with how well we do anything.

As long as he holds those reigns, it will be he who calls the shots and who makes the decisions, therefore leaving Blacks all that is second hand, afterward, and used. It is this reality that lays the relevance of actual equality on his shoulders: from who succeeds to who does not succeed. With this in mind, one can safely conclude that it is because of his design that things are the way they are in society, and that means all society, white society, minority society, and the issues facing Black society.

I can, and will forever, know that whatsoever things happen in my life, whether good or bad, are a direct result of the society in which I live and is done for the purpose of me surviving in my society, because no man can exist outside of his own society independently. For all that is within him permeates from without and if a man lives unaffected by his society, it still does not make him absolutely free. Even separate societies within the main society are considered by the main society as one in and of itself, such as Indian reservations and Amish compounds.

Now if my mental strength and individual accomplishments rest on and is judged by whether or not I believe the white man and his system has some control of my and every other Blacks faces' path, then by experience alone I can confidently point to the white man and his system because I know this to be true, in fact, every step I take is to either avoid becoming like him or to fight off and resist his negations of me, my woman and my child, yet I do not allow this fight to alter my perception of anyone other than him in a negative light. He or I do not determine the outcome of my efforts, but my efforts are determined by its accomplishment and usefulness in society, whether it makes a difference for the good or the worst. Man cannot hinder truth or that which is destine, he can only hinder that which he can control. And as long as he can control what people think and how they think it, he can alter their beliefs, behavior, future and eventually their path.

When people (Black people) cannot comprehensibly realize that they are psychologically being used as experiments and impediments against the succession of their collective people, then they can never believe or know by their own ability, but by the ability extended to them (as in physical rights) by their scientific oppressors. In the scenario of my wife and the person I hate, if I use verifiable data, statistics, video surveillance and every other day make mention of and magnify to her the failures, weaknesses and flaws of that person, I know that eventually she will have a negative view of that person because I understand that she is not using her mind freely but is rather allowing me to use it for her to fulfill my own self-inconsistencies.

If it is a case of the inadequacies and short-comings of Blacks, or even their refusal to participate in the dismal system designed by the white man, (which is a more accurate reason for any Black lag), the problems of Black America, and Africa, are not ones brought about entirely or even absolutely by their own selves. This is ridiculous to believe. Individually, people make mistakes and stupid decisions and their lives are effected by the repercussions, but when an entire subculture of people are defined as being flawed by a society of people who have proven to be oppressive, dominating and liars, many red flags should rise about the authenticity of this claim. However, anyone under the influence of a mind control apparatus are convinced to dismiss what is true and rather except a more modern-day fabrication of reality and assume personal responsibility for the issues Black America and Africa continue to face.

It seems that when whites and other mainstream progressives use the argument that no whites today owned slaves and no Blacks today have ever been slaves so there is no legitimate reason for reparations or to dwell on the issues of slavery, it is not because they have an undefeatable argument that cannot be challenged with basic logic that the issue of reparations is not a major issue in Congress, no, or that slavery is irrelevant to today's society. The reason reparations is not a major issue in Congress and is not and never will be taken seriously, is because first, whites hold a hatred for Blacks that will never allow them to concede or admit that the atrocities of slavery then and the after effects of it now is a direct result of the state of Black America today, which would lead to just reparations, and second, this would mean they have to own up to the fact that their revered founding fathers were pathological by nature, which would testify to their own pathological state today by their reverence of them.

Point in case, if my grandfather were a rapist and a child abuser and regardless of his actions I regarded him as this great man, that would give reason for anyone to question my moral character. So should I identify with this man or be ashamed of him? Regardless, he was my grandfather and that is the truth no matter how I coat it to someone else. Second, the reason slavery has been wished away, the effects diminished, and considered taboo by mainstream society is because they want to distance themselves from those particular actions of their forefathers yet claim the glory of their good deeds.

If they can hold high the good deeds of their forefathers, they make themselves look good and acceptable as a people, but if they dwell on the horrid details of slavery and the mind-sets of their forefathers, and psychologically make a connection to their behavior today, this would bring into question their sanity, as it would mine about my grandfather's behavior. So they distance themselves from slavery and turn away from the after effects of it and condemn or debase anyone who brings it to the forefront.

When they can convince the very people effected by slavery that there were no after effects and everything negative that faces Black America today is the result of our own short-comings, low intellectual abilities, and incompetence, then they have won half the battle because they know that as long as some Blacks are asleep and go along with this claim so long as it makes them acceptable into the social status of white society, then if they give these believers position in society to berate the rest of Black America, eventually the remnants and evils of slavery will be forgotten and they and their conscience can rest easy. But this is far from reality.

What white America did to the Africans in Africa during the centuries of the Mid Atlantic slave trade; what they did to break the Africans once they got them here; what they did to the slaves in the centuries following and what they did 50 years ago to the mentally defeated previous generation, and what they are doing now to the current Black generation, will go down in history forever and is written in the book of the most High God as a testimony against them come the Day of Judgment, The same God they proclaim and have preached to Africans and the world. The same God they claim have set them free and given them the natural right to live and breath and the same God they use to sware before when they sit of the seats of justice judging the issues we face today.

I know that all men are created equal and that what one does during his life will reveal itself at life's end. I also know that there is nothing that cannot be overcome in this world even if set before me intentionally. That is not the issue nor should it be for anyone. If I have done everything right to the best of my knowledge and still see injustice done to people like me, why should I blame them or myself? Opportunity comes, life has its hurdles and people are either made or broken by the things that try them as people. The problem is living in the after effects of a society built on slavery and realistically understanding that the advancements of Africa and Black America are not wholly based on what we do collectively or individually because our ability to succeed are pure and given by nature, the advancements of Africa and Black America depends on how we defeat the one and only enemy we've ever had, the white man. So yes, I proudly blame the white man because I know it is not I with the problem.
