When you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his ‘proper place’ and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary.’
—Carter G. Woodson

Mental Slavery is far more sinister than physical slavery because the chains are invisible and are transmitted across generations. If African slavery was only physical, African people would have within one generation been able to skip the plethora of social-economic issues which plague African people globally the second the chains came off. But it is far more complex than that when we are dealing with mental trauma. And a lot of things happened to Africans after slavery to contribute to our deteriorating condition–including so-called integration.
And let us just cut to the chase and run the test. If you are someone MORE concerned with how racist Hollywood is than supporting conscious media. Why is it so hard for people to just support the little we do own that represents us.–then why do people keep complaining? Because that is the nature of mental slavery; it only wants to be a victim. For all the African historians who have dedicated their life to teaching us history, they would rather complain “someone has hidden our history.”
