A 1712 William Lynch speech: "On How to Make a Slave" clearly indicates White's brainwashing methods of slaves: "Our experts...say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and re-correct itself over a period of time if it can touch some substantial original historical base: and they advised us that the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to Shave Off the Brute's Mental History and Create a Multiplicity of Phenomena of Illusions, so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit, something similar to floating balls in a vacuum.
This creation of a multiplicity of phenomena of illusions entails the principles of crossbreeding the nigger and the horse as we stated above, the purpose of which is to create a diversified division of labor, the results of which is the severance of the points of the original beginning for each sphere (globe) illusion.
...Crossbreeding completed, for further severance from their original beginning; we must Completely Annihilate the Mother Tongue of both the new nigger and the new mule and institute a new language that involves the new life's work of both. You, know, Language is a Particular Institution. It Leads to the Heart of the People. The more a foreigner knows about the language of another country, the more he is able to move through all levels of society. Therefore, if the foreigner is an enemy of another country, to the extent that he knows the body of the language, the extent leaves the country vulnerable to attack or invasion of a foreigner culture.
For example, you take a slave, if You Teach Him All About Your Language, He Will Know All Your Secrets, And He Is Then No More A Slave, For You Can't Fool Him Any Longer and being a fool is one of the basic ingredients of and incidents to the maintenance of the slavery system. For example, if you told a slave that he must perform in getting out "our crops" and he knows the language well, he would know that "our crops" didn't mean "our crops," and the slavery system would break down, for he would relate on the basis of what "our crops" meant.
So you Have To Be Careful, In Setting Up The New Language for the slave would soon be in your house, talking to you as "man to man' and that is death to our economic system. In addition, the definition of words or terms is only a minute part of the process.
Values are created and transported by communication through the body of language to connect them from orderly working in the society. A total society has many interconnectable value systems. All these values in the society have bridges of language to connect them for orderly working in the society. But for these language bridges, these many value systems would clash and cause internal strife and civil war, the degree of the conflict being determined by the magnitude of issues or relative opposing strength in whatever form.
For example, if you put a slave in a hog pen and train him to live there and incorporate him to value it as a way of life completely, the biggest problem you would have out of him is that he would worry you about provisions to keep the hog pen clean, partially clean, or he might not worry you at all. On the other hand, if you put this same slave in the same hog pen and make a slip and incorporate something in his language whereby he comes to value a house more than he does a hog pen, you got a problem. He will soon be in your house."
William Lynch reflected the White slaver's position that to control the language of slaves was to control the slave's values, meanings, and rules that shaped and influenced how slaves related to these things, to themselves, and to fellow Blacks.
