"The psychology of becoming free is contingent upon understanding the slave making process. Before Africans went to slave owners, they were 'seasoned' by slave makers. These men were charged with the responsibility by achieving four goals to make a good slave:
1. Place fear in slaves by beating them or killing one publicly as
an example.
2. Teach them to be loyal and identify with the owner,
by giving any traitors favors for informing.
3. Teach them to feel inferior by always showing Whites in positions of power.
4. Teach them to hate Africa and anything Black, by harsh words and giving special favors to light-skinned Africans.
The psychology of becoming free requires the reverse of the slave making process."
