After all these years and all we have done to you, we think it is appropriate for us to say thank you for all you have done for us. We have chastised, criticized, framed, punished, and killed you, but we have never publicly thanked you for your never-ending allegiance and support to our cause. This is our open letter of thanks to a people, steadfast, unique and loyal: Black People! We will always be in debt to you for your labor. You built this country and are responsible for the great wealth we still enjoy today.

Upon your backs, laden with the stripes we had to apply, you carried our nation. We thank you. Even when we refused to allow you to walk in our shadows, you followed close behind. It has been said that dogs are a man’s best friend, yet you are more loyal. You have attacked your family on our command. Your loyalty to us cannot be comprehended. 

You raised our children, while neglecting your own. You attended to our sick and prepared our meals while we plotted your demise. Even when we found pleasure in your women, and enjoyment in seeing your men lynched, maimed, and burned, you continued to watch over us and our belongings. 

Your bravery on the battlefield, despite being classified as three-fifths of a man, was outstanding and beyond the call of duty. We often watched in awe as you went about your chores and assignments laboring in the hot sun for 12 hours, singing your songs. You worked, and we realized good fortune and wealth. Thank you!

Now, we control 90 percent of all the resources and wealth of the World. We have Black People to thank. You protected us from those Blacks who have the audacity to speak out against our transgressions. You warned us about Nat Turner, framed Marcus Garvey; and killed Malcolm X for us. Thank you!

Thank you for continuing to bring 95 percent of what you earn to our businesses. Thanks for buying Hilfiger, Audi, Nike and all the brands you promote for us. Your purchases of our products really makes us feel that you love us no matter what we do to you. 

In the past, we burned our brand into your skin, today you happily wear them. Your loyalty continues! Your super-rich athletes, entertainers, intellectuals and business people bring their money to us. They spend all of it on our homes, jewelry and bogus investments. Even your poor spend all they have at our neighborhood stores.

When you feel you cannot take this treatment anymore, just march for a few days. We will give your leaders (our pawns) a few dollars and promise to do better. Even when we kill some of you, just be patient. We will address your issues in the next 400 years. Continue to focus on killing your brothers, snitching on your mothers and outdoing your neighbor. You have worked harder to destroy your people than we have. 

We thank you, without you we could not exist!

Sincerely,

Your White Masters
