MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO/WILLIE LYNCH
#1
BOOKS BOUGHT IN BLACK AMERICA - WHY?
THE TREND IS THE READING OF "URBAN ROMANCE!"
As 2007 draws to a close – by the Western calendar – there is a curiosity
prevailing in book buying in Black America.
The Willie Lynch Letters and The
Making of a Slave, which has been number one or two on all major best
seller list for the last three years, is being rivaled for the top spot by one
of the perennials for Black Booksellers,
The MisEducation of the Negro, a
240 trade paperback that was first written and published by the legendary, Dr.
Carter G. Woodson in 1937.
CARTER G. WOODSON: ICON
Dr. Carter G.
Woodson is an icon. He is best known as the author of
The Mis-Education of the Negro. But he
is also the founder of what was first called “Black History Week.” It is now
called Black History Month. In the early 1030’s he wrote and published a book
that was/is called “The Education of the Negro.” In it he specifies how Black
people were educated to be characterized by traits of PTSD (more later about
this). No doubt, the specificity didn’t get the desired result. So it was not
long before he wrote and published one of the most important books in history:
“The Mis-Education of the Negro.”

DECEMBER, 2007

Of course we are only writing about “Best Sellers” lists that are
maintained by Independent Black Publishers. The
“Willie Lynch Letters” whose main text
was exposed to perhaps billions of people worldwide, when Minister Louis
Farrakhan read it at the Million Man March in 1995, became a phenomenon when
Lushena Books added more researched documentation about the slave making process

Independent Black writing
Black America has never had the benefit of a bookseller on
the level that Luther Warner reached in the 1990’s. He is to independent Black
bookselling, what Sister Shahrazad Ali is to Independent Black writing. Though
many try to duplicate, none can replicate what Lushena has meant to the Black
book Industry over the past twenty years.
Essence
Magazine, began tracking the book buying volume of Black people in the
1990’s. They have documented the popularity of the Willie Lynch book.
Because of its affordability, it may already exceeds

Blackman, By Sister Shahrazad Ali in Black readers over the past quarter
century.
THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO
INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED BY DR. CARTER G. WOODSON
Black America owes an eternal debt to “Independent Black Booksellers”
(independent Black booksellers is loosely, any one involved in marketing Black
literature, to Black people, without the approval of white people).
Sister Shahrazad Ali, Luther Warner and others took the
necessary methodology of giants in Black Literature, like Carter G. Woodson and
J. A. Rogers (if they wanted to publish in racist
CARTER G. WOODSON: ICON
Dr. Carter G.
Woodson is an icon. He is best known as the author of
The Mis-Education of the Negro. But he
is also the founder of what was first called “Black History Week.” It is now
called Black History Month. In the early 1030’s he wrote and published a book
that was/is called “The Education of the Negro.” In it he specifies how Black
people were educated to be characterized by traits of PTSD (more later about
this). No doubt, the specificity didn’t get the desired result. So it was not
long before he wrote and published one of the most important books in history:
“The Mis-Education of the Negro.”
Whereas “The Education of the Negro” specifies what was
done to “educate” Black people. “The Mis-Education of the Negro” documents the
fact that it was a deliberate misinformation education to reinforce the self
hatred of a people who had all but lost “true knowledge of self, God and the
devil.”
Though he probably never heard of Willie Lynch, the 1712
Caucasian teacher of other slave owners, about “how to make a slave,” Carter G.
Woodson could well have called his classic,
‘How the Students of Willie Lynch Used
His Doctrine to Mis-Educate Black People.’
WHO IS READING SERIOUS BLACK BOOKS
WHEN THE TREND IS TO READ URBAN ROMANCE FICTION?
The wholly armed Research arm of Black media conglomerate,
United Brothers Communications Systems,
The Newport Newservice, researched to determine the reason for the
resurgence of the 70 years old “polemic” by Dr. Woodson. As it is, when one
looks seriously at anything Black in
“There are many reasons for the dramatic increase in the readership of
the Mis-Education of the Negro.” Said Director Founder and Owner of UBUS
Communications Systems, H. Khalif Khalifah.
“The popularity of the Willie Lynch Letter, which is thought to be a text
to educate white slave owners to train and maintain chattel slaves, maybe the
catalysts.
“But the demographics of the readership maybe the most important consideration. If you go back 12 years to the Million Man March and add to the school ages of the ones who may have had the greatest presence at the march, you get into the ages of twenties for school aged young Black men; and the mid-thirties for college aged young Black men at the time.” Continued Khalifah.
“After trying to live as a normal adult in a White Supremacist System, Black people, especially the Black youth, are keen to learn all they can about Black people. That is, ones who realize that a Black person who tries to fit into “the system” as a natural black adult. The slavery experience haunts Black people, even in this day and age.” Added Khalifah.
WHY, HOW CAME US TO THIS CHARACTERIZATION?
It is far from documented fact, but indications are
as young,
anyone, comes to the age of reason,
the ‘why’ question about who they are and how they became such, conjures up a
strong desire for answers. Many young Blacks find some vital parts of the
answers when they read “Willie Lynch Letters and the Making of a Slave.” Unfortunately,
some do not read it until they are captured, one way or another, and put in
jail. Because of the power and price of the book, a significant number are
mailed to inmates behind prison walls.
Fortunately, the mass majority of readers of
Willie Lynch read the book before the
application of the teachings land them in the Criminal Justice in the
The knowledge they
find was in books written by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Na’im Akbar, Francis
Cress Welsing, Amos N. Wilson, Mr. Carol Barnes, Sister Shahrazad Ali, H. Khalif
Khalifah, and dozens of others, many invariably referenced “Mis-Education of the
Negro, and/or Willie Lynch Letters. The rest is history in the making.
The referenced generation of readers are young fathers and
mothers who were educated in mis-educational systems devised by the ‘children’
of the students (white chattel slave owners) of Willie Lynch. According to Black
Icon, Carter G. Woodson, “when you
control a man’s mind, you don’t have to build a back door. If he doesn’t find
one, he will bill it himself.”
Other Black readers
who made the Willie Lynch Letters and The Mis-Education of the Negro “best
sellers” are college professors who read,
and UNDERSTAND their significance; from the understanding they got the WISDOM to
require and recommend books that must be read by their students. The book orders
at the beginning of college semesters confirm there is a groundswell to include
the Mis-Education of the Negro as the first requirement.
TREATMENT FOR POST TRAUMATIC SLAVERY DISORDER
Both books gives explicit information about the reasons for
the self hatred and disunity of Black people - and other negative character
traits, that is clear evidence that the Black Race in the recovery stage of
“PTSD (Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder.” The Authors of a book with that title:
Dr. Reid, Mim, and Sekou use the texts heavily to make their case for PTSD as a
treatable disease.
“The Mis-Education of the Negro” was first reprinted by
United Brothers Communications Systems in 1992. It is presently the ONLY version
that is still in print. UBUS recently printed a new edition of the standard
bearing “Willie Lynch Letters and the Making of a Slave.” Their edition features
a new Preface by Khalifah, a laminated cover and perfect binding. A gorgeous
wrapping for a poison message to is still used to subjugate Black people.

lDECEMBER FAST
DECLARED BY
THE HONORABLE
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
by H. Khalif Khalifah
-----------------------
12/1/07
This
is to say to all within my reach that I still observe the fast that was declared
by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I have observed the month of December to
varying degrees of success for 33 years. I always attempt to participate in it
100% through my every word, act and deed. And though this is an impossibility,
the striving have help keep me as close to the straight and narrow path that I
am. I have been abundantly blessed by Allah when I forget, go into error or make
a mistake. And I have concluded that the grea-test blessing of all is that I
turn to The Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of all persons, places and things
for help. So after 33 years of striv-ing, I believe I am in the position in life
that I have the best chance of being 100% dutiful dur-ing this month I pray for
success for everyone who is participating, ob-serving or sensitive to Black
Muslims during this time. Ultimately, I fast for the power to be a better
servant to African people, as we continue to struggle for “Freedom, Justice and
Equality”………..Peace, Khalifah, December 1, 2007

As U.S. political, civil and business leaders grappled with the pressing question of "what to do with the Negroes?" the newly freed Africans cried out immediately for restitution - payback for centuries of stolen labor, cultural degradation and dehumanizations. Indeed, Africans held as slaves have been struggling for a restored sense of wholeness since being brought to this country as chattel.
Other organizations and individuals have carried the demand for reparations farther into the twentieth century. Many of them have become a part of today's Reparations Campaign which is being spearheaded by N'COBRA.
