READ OF THE MAANGAMIZI! King Leopold, whose hatchet men massacred over 10 million Congolese in cold blood to take control of their land and natural resources, delivered the following speech in 1885 at a conference in Belgium of evangelist colonizers being groomed for their African tasks. The speech perfectly summarizes how Leopold and his race used their religion, Christianity, to brainwash and mess up the African race. Reverend father and dear compatriots: the task that is given to you to fulfill is very delicate and requires much tact. You will certainly evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all, Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God. This they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba (African gods) and what else I dont know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone elses wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrialists, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will best protect your interest in that part of the world. For these things, you have to keep watch on dis-interesting our savages from the richness that is plenty in their underground, to avoid that they get interested in it, and make you murderous competition and dream one day to overthrow you. Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering and encouraging your followers to love poverty. Like, happier are the poor because they will inherit heaven and its very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything, which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their mystic system and that fetish warfare protection, which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear. Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they wont revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parents teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their souls. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience. Avoid developing the spirits in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason. Recite everyday happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them. Convert always the Blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in a sign of recognition, goats, chickens or eggs, every time you visit their villages, and make sure that the niggers never become rich. Sing every day that it is impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the poor to build (our own) flourishing business centers. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives, denouncing any Black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision makers. Teach the niggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a Black that comes to visit you. Dont give him more than one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house. There, dear compatriots are some of the principles you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the White colonialist, so that they will never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing.
