Why We Are What We Are by Melonny(m): 6:29am On Jul 06, 2016
Have you ever sat alone and think about why you have to get tattoo on your body? Why you want your dark skin white? Why the white man tend to be progressive and black man retrogressive? Why you see a white man for the first time and you feel inferior to him? I am sure there are lot of why questions that seem unanswered. Read on and you may just find the answer to the questions on your mind.
A writer once said "when a black man comes close to a white man,his ego collapses,his self-esteem evaporates.He ceases to be a self-motivated person. The entire purpose of his behaviour is to emulate the white person, to become like them and thus hope to be accepted"-(F.fanoz) why does this happen?
1712, Williams lynch wrote a letter to the slave masters and prescribed a method for controlling their black slaves. He said,-By taking the meanest and restless black man,strip him naked in front on the remaining blacks then tie each leg to different horse in opposite directions, set him on fire and beat the both horse to pull him apart in front of the remaining blacks then bull whip the remaining blacks to the point of death all in female and infant's presence. Because the woman is dependent on the man for protection, if the above is done to her suppose protector, then she will be in a state of being left alone, unprotected, with the male image destroyed. The ordeal cause her to move from her dependent state to a frozen psychological independent state.
In this independent state, she will raise her male and female offspring in a role which she subsconscious fear for the young man's life thus psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but physically strong-(body over mind). Now growing old, he sees the white man as not only superior but as god and satan.
This simple act made the slave a slave. The only and the main weakness of a black man was created by williams lynch. The black man is mentally weak and dependent. We never face problems, we just call on the masters to help, emulate them and we beg to be accepted as human. Why don't you think of a problem we are battling with as a nation, as a race and link it up with being mentally weak and dependent.
You may not accept the idea of being weak or being ready to be told what and how to do things but it high time we sat down and reflect on why lynch saw the men above age 30 as having no economic value and a threat? Used them as experiments and saw the younger generation as opportunity and strength.why dont we start teaching our future generation so that they will teach their offspring to be mentally strong and build infrastructure to be independent.
Are we free from the masters or are we just the civilised slaves? Why don't you get a copy of 'Making a slave a slave by Willie lynch'. Written by melonny.. Shout out to Joyce Onyemuwa coolFM

yah..but I think going forward, it will be hard to preach to a fully grown man to be mentally strong and independent but we can target the future generations. we have to teach them to be mentally strong, we have to put more value in them.

Great piece. Thumbs up to you!
If you can be able, get more blacks to think like you. Keep writing, preaching until it hits
If blacks can be become daring audacious, they would be free and truly independent
