I understand that certain mythologies have a purpose and can, indeed, be functional. But, should we pass this type of mythology on to our youth, or should we look for another way for them to examine our history?

While I understand you POV, nobody knows if the Willie Lynch Letter is real or fake though there have been writers who attempt to prove it falsehood and do it with sound reasoning. What does remain true is the methodology used to create slaves whether the actual letter is real or fake. So for this reason alone I belief this kind of mythology is useful. Similar to all moral stories though the stories may not be historical true the examples in morality and/or wisdom remain. I feel the Willie Lynch Letter has similar value.

I agree with the functional purposes of certain mythologies, but the Lynch letter does not appear to be as effective a tool to motivate our people to examine our history. To the contrary, it often makes us search less. Instead of really researching what happened to our people during and after physical enslavement, and the effects that the process had on our relations with one another, we simply attribute all to that which is contained in the Lynch letter. To my knowledge, Dr. Manu Ampim has done the best job of presenting the case against the Lynch letter. I'm pretty sure you've come across his analysis. If not, check here:

I don't know if we can certainly say, "does not appear to be as effective a tool to motivate our people to examine our history." Because I can know many people who started with the Willie Lynch Letter as their grounds for examining Our history. I think nowadays with the strong want to abandon this letter because of it's possible falsehood makes the methodology of creating a slave appear to also be a falsehood too. This, to me, is the greater disservice to Our People.

Because we people, scholars included, say the letter is fake it makes Our People say the content of the letter is fake too. This is not the case the content is true, but the 1700s authoring is what's in question not the content. I’m not sure if you ever heard of the “stories” about Africans in West Africa migrating from Sudan and Egypt, but if you heard them you might doubt the absolute truth in the different stories told by different tribes of West Africa but the truth still remains Africans in West Africa migrating from Sudan and Egypt areas in the ancient past no matter all magically or fanatics the stories sound. This is common for African People all around the planet. Some say there are downfalls to this but there are also benefits. The major benefit I see is teaching a serious lesson in a simpler matter, the Willie Lynch Letter does this.

I respect the objective, but we do not need the Willie Lynch letter to prove the maniacal, devious, and diabolical machinations of our oppressors, now or historically? If the Willie Lynch letter is false (which it seems to be) than this is a bad and unnecessary trend we’re into. The Willie Lynch letter seems to be supporting a new trend of “creating� the evidence. Why isn’t the undeniable, indubitable, and the factual evidence enough?

I rather the letter had been used fictionally as a metaphor or analogy in some sort of dramatic portrayal alluding to the horrors of slavery rather than presented as fact!

This slippery slope can lead to an unnecessary need to constantly fictionalize and mythologize our REAL suffering and the psycho-cultural damage we have had to face historically. There is more than enough reliable evidence and unquestionable historical documentation to explain the destruction of Black civilization and the Black psyche.

If no one can prove that this letter is historically authentic, than it should be put to the side and never used again.

i fully understand both points, truly. But i *must* fall back on what's tried and true, OUR propaganda must always be rooted in *truth*. If something we put out is discredited, then *WE* are equally discredited.

I agree. Given the distorted image of the progressive Black man and woman, we have to be careful when presenting information to our people. Distributing fallacious information can, in a sense, affirm that which is told to them about those of us who consider ourselves progressive.

This discussion is getting more "philosophical" than I would have expected. *smile*

Let me put this out here. Can the Willie Lynch letter be "the truth" even if "the facts" are incorrect? I'm not trying to evoke a responce from you "specifically" nattyreb (even though it may appear that way because I directly quoted you).

So what IS the purpose of the mythology of the Willie Lynch letters?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. If you get the answer before me, do tell.

Without detailing all the nuances...I would say that at least one of the purposes is for us to understand the process as to how we have been yoked with some of our more negative "group tendancies"...tendancies that we have picked up since when we were first kidnapped and brought over here to amerikkka, but that still exist today...and in understanding the process, come to an understanding as to how to remove this burden off of our shoulders. Feel me?
