On Epiphany—Open Letter to the President of Savannah State University (aka Negroes…! Get off the Damn Plantation!!)
Letter to Savannah State University President Cynthia Robinson Alexander
Prologue – 16 Years Ago as a Professor of Law, History and Political Science (2008-09), Savannah State University Offered me a Choice – Status quo, or to ‘Get off the Damn Plantation’? (of the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia Matrix) … And I took it!
Dear Savannah State University President Cynthia Robinson Alexander, Provost Richard Miller, Professor Benn Bongang, SSU Faculty, Staff & School Student Organizations:
Please accept and share with the Savannah State University Faculty, Students and Staff my latest law review article – THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN LAW AND THE APOTHEOSIS OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, and the consolidation of these correspondences which is an outreach to the American Academy and to all American Law Schools, titled–Open Letter–Reply to President David Meyer on the Apotheosis of President Donald J. Trump.
These series of important historical essay letters and my law review article attached are all in part In Memoriam to Professor Derrick Bell (1930-2011), an intellectual mentor of mine and the first Black person to get tenure at Harvard Law School (1969-1991), and later a Visiting Law Professor at New York Law School (1991-2011). The background narratives of my review of Professor Bell’s work, particularly as one of the Founding Fathers of the Critical Race Theory [CRT] movement, are contained in the first Essay Letter, titled – “Letter to Harvard University President Claudine Gay.”
Savannah State University will always have a special place in my heart for it was the first and only university to offer me a full-time position as a professor (for 3 years: 2008-11) which was cut short by President Obama’s first year budget cuts in early 2009. Nevertheless, that was a legendary year in SSU history which together with my Political Science colleague and friend, Professor Leonard ‘Lenny’ McCoy, we presented to the SSU student body over a dozen Symposiums and lectures, book reviews and interviews on various topics of academic interest including a Mock Presidential Debate which had over 350 students and some faculty in attendance. Later I was encouraged by Professor McCoy to chronicle and publish a narrative of that iconic event at SSU in, The Day I took Fire from Obama (Nov. 1, 2008); See also, THE PROGRESSIVE REVOLUTION, Vol. I, pp. 124-28 (2013), and See Generally, Get off the damn Plantation! (Oct. 2011).
In the Mock Presidential Debate presented at SSU on 29 Oct. 2008, Democrat candidate Barack Obama was played by a hardcore Democrat zealot, Professor Kevin Hales from the History Department (he later left SSU to earn his PhD at Duke University) and I, Professor Ellis Washington, played the Republican candidate Senator John McCain (R-AZ). Professor Lenny McCoy was the debate moderator and host of this legendary event which even after it was over SSU students always spoke about it in class, in the hall, or even in the cafeteria in the highest terms, enthusiastically talking about that Mock Presidential Debate with me whenever I saw them on campus for the rest of the year and into 2009—even after Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009 when winning the presidential election.
I cannot affirm strongly enough regarding how that SSU event was an extraordinary epiphany experience for me. How? It first gave me the COURAGE to ‘Cross the Rubicon’ so to speak, to transfigure my Life, my very Human Nature with all of its fears and obsessions out of my comfort zone and into a New Reality. Secondly, preparing for this event also greatly expanded my intellectual and reasoning abilities to go to greater heights and deeper depths in my relentless search for Veritas (Truth). For this epiphany experience I am exceedingly grateful to the Savannah State University campus for providing me with the intellectual venue to exercise, perform, and allow these cognitive gifts to take conception and root, to blossom and to thrive.
This Mock Presidential Debate that we Performed at SSU on 29 Oct. 2008 became the Singular Catalyst Event that 9 Years Later Eventually Freed my Mind from the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia Matrix (e.g., Central Bankers Chattel and Debt Slavery systems of Obsession and Repression, Division, Force and Fear)
Our SSU Mock Presidential Debate Professor Lenny McCoy and I put on in late Oct. 2008 was during the same time Barack Obama was first running against Senator John McCain (R-AZ) to become POTUS. One scene during the debate that especially affected me on a personal level was as I listened to my opponent (Barack Obama, played by SSU Professor Kevin Hales) detail the usual litany of Socialist Slavery policy initiatives the Democrat Party intended do for Black America if he was elected POTUS. Suddenly, in my mind, everything was in slow motion as I took pause to understand and appreciate this profound moment. Nevertheless, despite my inner rage I kept my composure until it was my turn to present my initiatives for America and for my closing arguments which are excerpted below from my essay, The Day I took fire from Obama (WorldNetDaily.com, Nov. 1, 2008) . . .
{Essay Excerpt}
When I could take no more socialist propaganda from Obama and his youthful minions (many of them my own students), I launched into an extemporaneous tirade, which I paraphrase below:
What is wrong with you people?! How long will you allow your minds to be shackled by Big Government Liberalism and the Democrat Socialist Party? In the early 1930s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised you a “New Deal” and got your forefathers hooked on the drug of welfare and government handouts. In the 1960s, LBJ [President Lyndon Baines Johnson] gave you the “Great Society” and over $5 trillion dollars in new welfare spending to fight what LBJ called his “War on Poverty,” yet poverty over the past 40 years has grown exponentially. Even worse, there is a Poverty of the Spirit that is particularly acute in the Black community that remains undiagnosed and unacknowledged … even to this day.
Ladies and gentlemen, when will you say [to the Democrat Socialist Party] I don’t need your welfare, your universal health care, dental care, Social Security, food stamps and government cheese? I’ll buy my own cheese.
“[Negroes…!”] {slams fist on the table} “GET OFF THE DAMN PLANTATION!”
{Stunned silence, followed by a crescendo of jeers}
I thought to myself, “Ohoooo Noooo!”, I did it now! I really messed up. Did I cross the Rubicon? Did I cross that invisible line of civility? However, when I met the following day with my Political Science Department Chairman, Dr. Benn Bongang, he said, “Ellis, that was my favorite part of the debate. The students needed to hear what you said.” {end excerpt}
In frustration I interrupted my political opponent slamming my fist down on the podium and exclaiming to the entire audience. . . [Negroes…!] GET OFF THE DAMN PLANTATION! The crowd almost went into a RIOT with exuberant laughter and applause, jeers and tears for nearly 10 minutes as Debate Moderator, Professor McCoy tried in vain to bring order to this event. Later, I was pleased to learn that the SSU students in attendance (and those who weren’t there but was told about the event by their fellow students) all positively thanked me for taking such a bold stance even as the political reality soon became self-evident as Barack Obama went on to become the first Black POTUS two months later.
Little did I realize at that time, but would realize this epiphany experience 9 years later when Donald J. Trump succeeded Obama to become the 45th POTUS on 20 Jan. 2017 exposing America and the entire World to this unknown and tragic truism about who really controls America… and the entire WORLD –
GRAND CONSPIRACY? – That America for 150 YEARS [1871-2021] was secretly stolen from We the People and turned from a Republic into a CORPORATION. Thus, We the People were all collectively on the Plantation called, ‘THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, INC.’ as chattel and debt Slaves of the Rothschild Central Bankers (e.g., ‘Rothschild Khazarian Mafia’) until the Apotheosis of President Donald J. Trump.
*N.B.: For further research and readings, see my 5-part essay series titled – A Brief History of the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia (100 A.D.-2021) and Why Weren’t We the People Told (until POTUS Trump) that we have been Chattel & Debt Slaves of the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia for 150 YEARS (1871-2021)?!?
What is True Devotion to a Cause – Lipservice or Affirmative Action? – Historically Which Political Party did the most for Black America?!?
*N.B.: The Republican Party was founded in 1854 with the specific mandate to End the Evil Institution of Slavery… Period! The First President of the Republican Party?–Abraham Lincoln (1861-65), the man who literally gave his life to end Slavery and to save the Republic. The Democrat Socialist Party was founded in 1828 and historically has been the de facto party of – Slavery, Jim Crow Racism, founder of the Klu Klux Klan, Women’s Rights (Feminist movement), Abortion, Affirmative Action Slavery, Welfare Slavery, Illegal Immigration (that kills Black jobs, Black economic growth and deconstructs Black cities and the Black Family).
While the primary purpose of this Open Letter to Savannah State University Administration and Faculty, Staff and Students isn’t political but historical, nevertheless I would be remiss in my duty here if I didn’t remind you of the iconoclastic History and Politics that SSU and the other 106 HBCUs were all founded after the Civil War (1861-65) by the majority White Republican Party to educate the former Black Slaves in order to help them integrate better into American culture and society. This purpose, this singular Republican Party policy in founding, funding and building all the HBCUs in America was in part due to the tireless efforts for Black Freedom, Liberty and Equality by the Dean of the Abolitionist movement, Frederick Douglass(1817-95) based on his iconic aphorism –“Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a Slave.”
Therefore, it is axiomatic that the HBUCs were all founded, funded and built by the White Republican Party and White Republican Party Policies whose singular purpose when the Republican Party was founded in 1854 was the Abolition of Slavery…Period! Therefore, it should not surprise anyone that all 107 HBCUs were founded, funded and built by White Republicans to help Black people fulfill Thomas Jefferson’s long-standing hope written in The Declaration of Independence on our country’s first birthday, “. . . that All Men are created equal.”
However, Barack Hussein Obama, the first Black POTUS, nevertheless is a Democrat above his race, early in his first term drastically cut funding to the HBCUs directly causing mine and Professor’s Kevin Hales and Lenny McCoy’s 3-year contract to be cut short to only one year. In contrast, Barack Obama’s successor, President Donald J. Trump in only his 9th month in office on Sept. 18, 2017 President Trump made permanent a commitment of $255 million in annual funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and he increased funding for the Federal Pell Grant program by signing the FUTURE Act.
*N.B.: President Trump in the Oval Office with the Presidents of [most of] the HBCUs to commemorate the signing of the Executive Order granting permanent annual funding to all 107 HBCUs. (18 Sept. 2017)
Finally, I would like to give special gratitude to my former colleague and friend, Dr. Benn Bongang who hired me (and my colleagues – Professor Kevin Hales and Professor Lenny McCoy) 16 years ago for this short but life-changing faculty position at SSU for 1-year (2008-09), a HBCU whose faculty and students will always have a special place in my Heart and Soul.
Love and Peace,
Professor Ellis Washington, J.D.

Epilogue – I Remember SSU Alumni Shannon Sharpe (SSU: Class of 1990)
Special mention to SHANNON SHARPE (SSU, Class of 1990), 3-time Superbowl Champion and Hall of Famer, for his career in sports and in journalism, particularly on his new, pathbreaking podcast, Club Shay Shay with Comedian Katt Williams. An interview eclipsing a record 80+ million views on YouTube and over 200 million views on all media platforms combined. If SSU hasn’t done it yet, I strongly propose that both the SSU football stadium or sports arena and the SSU School of Communications be renamed after Shannon Sharpe, a truly legendary iconoclast and transcendent figure in multiple disciplines.

Prologue (Restated) – 16 Years Ago as a Professor of Law, History and Political Science (2008-09), Savannah State University Offered me a Choice – Status quo, or to ‘Get off the Damn Plantation’? (of the Rothschild Khazarian Mafia Matrix) … And I took it!
[Morpheus to Neo:] “Everything they told you was a Lie.” ~ The Matrix movie, Part 1 (1999). Remember in the Matrix movie the scene where Morpheus was trying to bring Neo’s mind and body out of the existential Slavery of the Machine World (e.g., ‘The Matrix’) and into the Reality, Freedom and Truth in the remnant human underground world of ‘Zion’? He did this by offering Neo a simple choice: the blue pill or the red pill.
A Choice: TRUTH or SLAVERY? – REALITY or IGNORANCE? President TRUMP or APOCALYPSE? – That, in essence is what I’m trying to do for you here, in this moment and for hundreds of millions of people in America and for billions of people around the world by writing this essay.
