Willie Lynch

Huge Racist Hoax!

Willie Lynch, hoax or real?

Willie Lynch is a fictional white slaver from the 1700s, who gave a fictitious speech to a fictitious Virginia colony on the bank of the James River. The "speech" consists of some 20th century lingo and a list of tactics for controlling slaves. The garbage ideology/narrative implies that blacks today can't trust one another and it's all the fault of whites. Or some such trash.

There was no William [Willie] Lynch who gave some crappy pro-slavery speech in 1712, using lingo from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Willie Lynch and his supposed speech, turned chain letter are fictitious, a hoax.

Willie Lynch was originated in The St. Louis Black Pages, 9th anniversary edition, 1994*, page 8, postdated - it actually started in 1993.

It was most likely made up in an attempt to revive and keep racism going, and eventually bring back segregation, instilling an "us VS. them" mindset toward whites on the part of racist blacks and racist white liberals.

Of course, I give the Willie Lynch speech chain letter a straight mangle, but that's coming up after Prof. Manu Ampim's great article, debunking this terrible hoax. It is posted in this forum thread, and it is so well researched and written that I'm reposting it here.

Prof. Manu Ampim expertly debunks this hoax in the first essay, then writes about reactions it received in the second. It was posted to a forum, where further comments were made, and that's where I started adding my 2cents. Then, I mangle the Willie Lynch speech.

Sit back everyone, if you have the time to spare. Let's get into it.
