Just for the sake of correct information, it should be stated that the Willie Lynch letter is only an internet hoax. It has spread around to the point of truth because of it’s inflammatory content. I am a teacher at an all black inner-city school and the letter was recently mentioned to me by my students. I had never heard of it before despite a degree in history. My class almost unanimously began angrily explaining it to me. I heard them out, however, suspected a hoax.

The real danger is not that the letter exists and whether the claims made in the letter can explain any real phenomenon in African-American culture, but that it is believed as truth. The effect of young people believing this to be true only extends the despair and perception of disenfranchisement of the community. The letter is a real danger is this way.
