There is no known evidence as of 2014 to prove whether the William Lynch letter is true or not. Some believe that it is a true account of a slave owner, while others are not convinced, but there is no available proof one way or the other.

Who is willie lynch?

The William (or Willie) Lynch Speech (or Letter) is a text of unknown origin which drew widespread attention when it circulated throughout the Internet during the 1990s. It purports to be an address given to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding control of slaves within the colony.[1][2][3] The speaker, William Lynch, is said to have been a slaveowner in the West Indies, summoned to Virginia in 1712; in part due to several slave revolts in the area prior to his visit, and his alleged reputation of being an authoritarian and strict slaveowner.[1][2][3] No provenance for the speech has ever been supplied, and the text as given below contains numerous anachronisms ("self-refueling", for example, since the word "refueling" dates only to the early twentieth century, or "fool proof", a word not attested until the early twentieth century)

When was willie lynch born?

Considering the category this question was placed in, it would appear that it is referring to the hoax about an address purportedly delivered by a certain William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712. Research has established beyond reasonable doubt that it was written in the late 20th century - no later than 1970 - although the author remains unknown.It lives on as folklore because it gets repeated - for example: Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan quoted the speech at the Million Man March in October 1995.Because the Willie Lynch speech is a known hoax, the question of when "Willie Lynch" was born is either meaningless, or perhaps could be given as 1970 - the earliest date that the hoax was known to be circulating.
