Inside My Head

Public Enemy doesn’t have anything on this.  What I’m talking about now is brainwashing.  A racial, social, and political agenda that is so deeply entrenched in propaganda that we have become so blinded to it, but we do act accordingly to the plan.  Normally when we think of slavery, we think of people bound by chains and tortured with whips, but among us today, live those who are mentally enslaved even without their knowledge or permission.

How do you make a slave?  It’s a simple question, but so is, “how do you force an entire nation of people to live on small territories of land called reservations?”, or “how do you spread mass genocide?” and lastly, “are all “men” really created equal?”.  These are all simple questions, but even the steps to rationalize the answers are complicated.  In doing research on the topic of mental slavery, I ran across a speech on http://thetalkingdrum.com/wil.html that was supposedly written by someone named Willie Lynch.  It’s still unknown whether or not this is a real person, but there is a lot of truth in the speech.  It speaks of using fear, distrust, and envy against those you are trying to control until you eventually “break” them like you would a horse.  Looking back at pictures of people held in concentration camps, their eyes and faces are void of emotion and you can see how badly “broken” their spirits are.

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, we would all like to believe that things like this would never happen to us.  The problem with that thinking is that you’ve probably already been enslaved, but just don’t know it.  In 1776, the Constitution said, “…all men are created equal”, so why did it take 12 more years for women to get the right to vote?  We live in a society of position and society demands that you adhere to your position without attempting to lower or raise yourself.  It isn’t uncommon for a white man to believe that he is more than qualified for a certain job, and the only reason he isn’t getting it is because of affirmative action.  It’s not uncommon for a black man to feel that the only ways to become rich are through sports, music, or by illegal means and there are still women alive today who were raised to be seen and not heard.  Many speak about how to change the nation, but before we can change a nation’s views, some of our own views need to be overhauled.
