Once upon a time...Back In The Day....

Willie Lynch wrote a letter in 1712.He was a slave owner.
THIS IS PART OF HIS LETTER!..Have a read.

Don't forget you must pitch the old black VS. The young black males and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves VS. The light skin slaves. You must use the female VS the male, and the male VS, the female. You must always have your servants and OVERSEERS distrust all blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us.’

This is a just a small part of his letter. So powerful.Yet still till today there is a strong division between black people because of the complexions of our skins.
