Everything Has Failed

How bad will things have to get before we are ready to do something that actually makes a difference? We have become desensitized to stories like this, because we make a big outcry about it, then…nothing, back to business as usual. George Floyd story, big outcry, riots, and in the midst of this the Black Lives Matter movement crops up, spearheaded by Black homosexuals, funded by a rich white people, then…back to business as usual, but now more Blacks are sympathetic to homosexuals. It happens again and again and again, except the “happenings” are getting worst, the stories are more horrible than the one before. Nothing gets better, nothing changes except the next story is worst than the one before. Do we think this is an easy fix? And do we really think we can figure out how to solve it, with a brain programmed by the ones who put us in this fix? Yes, programmed. It took over 400 years to get here and started…with the white man, kidnapping us thru lies and false promises, from our native land and peoples. They took from us our names, our language, our religion, our history, our way of life, and forced us to take their names, their religion, their language, their history, their way of life. They took everything that made us who were mentally, we were made mentally dead, a Negro. This may be Spanish for Black, but the white man’s languages didn’t begin with Spanish. Negro came from the Latin word necro, which relates to something dead. Do some research. This is no coincidence. The white man knew what he was doing and he named us accordingly. White people gave us that name.

We need to stop underestimating white people.

Then, they reprogrammed us with their way of thinking, turning us into a tool for them. Right now, we are pretty much useless for helping each other. Everything that goes wrong, anything we need, who who do we call? Who do we turn to? Emergency, call the police (white power structure). Sick, call an ambulance, go to the hospital or neighborhood clinic (all run by white people). Need a job, 99.999999999% of the time, you’re going to be contacting a white employer. You may have a Black boss, but the top boss, the one that runs the company, is white. Need spiritual guidance? If you’re Christian like most Black people in America, we turn to the church, 100% run by white people. Need a school for your children? There will be very few (if any) options besides a school either operated by or funded by white people. And if they fund it, they run it because you are not getting their money unless you play by their rules. In many cities with large Black populations, Black-owned, Black funded, Black operated schools are a rare entity.

The teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad makes a difference because it isn’t something he made up or came up with. He was taught by Allah, God in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad. Allah, God, made the Honorable Elijah Muhammad His Messenger, to deliver what he was taught to the Black man and woman in America. Under his leadership, and only his leadership, the Nation of Islam made a difference in the Black community—Black owned businesses that made jobs for Black people; Black owned farms that produced food for Black-owned grocery stores; Black schools that were operated by Black educators, using our own curriculum; housing on Black-owned real estate; Black owned and operated banks; even a Black owned and operated newspaper plant, and this not in one city but in many cities across America. And all these businesses, farms, schools, grocery stores, real estate, banks, and the newspaper plant was owned and operated by the Nation of Islam under the leadership of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, with ZERO funding from white people. This is something no other single Black man has come near to accomplishing for our people, because he is the Messenger of Allah, because Allah God in Person, a Black God for Black people, a man, not a spirit, is backing him.

Islam as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is what we need to make that difference. Take another look at this great Black man and his accomplishments. The legacy he left is an example of what we can do under the banner of Islam—freedom, justice and equality, and escape our current cycle of slavery, suffering and death.

As Salaam Alaikum (peace be unto you)

If he won’t treat you right, what makes you think he’ll teach you right?

“We want equal education–but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the conditions that the girls be sent to women’s colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teacher.

Under such school system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide free all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.”—The Muslim Program, “What the Muslims Want” No.9, by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad

The following is what results from Black people that have white education.

It started with slavery and this has set the tone for the whole time we have been here. It’s been one form of slavery after the other, keeping us under their control so we will not be a people that strive to help ourselves but look to white people for everything. Our generations of children since being churned out by the white education system are nothing but tools to keep the engine of their society running smoothly for the benefit of white people.

We think we can make a difference if they give us jobs. We take the money and put it back into their economy, to help them stay rich and in power. We don’t make our own jobs, our own businesses. We don’t use our resources to build up our neighborhoods, our schools, no. We give it back to white America as if we think after all this time, they will magically start doing that for us.

We seek and think we can make a difference from political offices, even a presidency. Obama did nothing to help Black people in America—unless they were homosexual. The one time I know that he did try to speak up for another Black man, Henry Louis Gates Jr., they (white people in power) put him in his place real quick, making him apologize, not just to the police department but had to make amends specifically to the officer who wrongly targeted Mr. Gates. I don’t remember one news story where anyone apologized to Mr. Gates. Maybe it happened, but the real news was, Obama apologized to the white cop. This the great Black presidency.

“If you think because Kennedy said in 40 years a Negro man would become president of the country, he will become just that, then you misunderstood. Never will a black man be able to rule a white man in America. He was only referring to the so-called Negroes’ unity with his brothers. This will make him strong enough to put a President in the office, but not over white people.”—The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message To The Blackman

Obama couldn’t even criticize a white police officer without being put back in his place. What makes you think he had any power to rule over white people in America???? What makes you think he or any Black politician has any power over white America to make a change for the better for Black America? White education, that’s what.

So, our children are taught that Obama was such a great man for Black people in America, the Black president that had to apologize to a white cop for speaking up against unjustly targeting a Black man. I’d like to know, how is this any different from any other Black man that speaks up against police injustice????

The white man’s schools are like a machine that turns Black children into little Black tools which then grow into adult Black tools. They will have no love for each other, no desire to build strong Black families with a mother and father to nurture the children, the basic building block of any society. No desire to unite with their own people and use what they have to help each other. No desire to use what they have to build up our neighborhoods, build up Black businesses. No desire to do for self. All you have to do is look, and weep, at our children today to see the truth of these words. Drug addiction, homelessness, jail, gay/lesbianism, music that degrades Black women, glorifies murdering each other, glorifies selling drugs; Black women and now young girls twerking, men that don’t take care of their children, single parent households—this is what describes many of our youth, this is what keeps the white man in power, keeps Black people with no power, and this comes from allowing the white man to educate them. This is the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. It starts with our children, our future. If we want to break free from depending on a people who have made it clear they have no love for us, taking charge of the education of our children is vital, from the cradle up.

Thank you for reading these words!

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

I cannot fathom what my life would be like without the impact that the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has made. It has empowered me in ways I could not be otherwise, with knowledge, wisdom and understanding. It’s not just words, it’s not just teachings, it’s knowledge that if put to use in your everyday life makes a difference. People may know these teachings, people may repeat these teachings but if you don’t live these teachings, you will not be able to get any benefit from having this knowledge. I have lived them, and at times in youthful ignorance, thinking I could get away with something, thinking I could cut and paste his teachings, I have done things that I know was contrary to them and this cumulative experience over my lifetime thus far has proved to me, that the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is right and exact, they can actually be proven true.

Feeding the Beast

Do we think that we can pacify the beast by feeding it?

In the ‘hood nowadays, one will observe, instead of thriving businesses, mostly boarded up buildings. Ninety percent of what remains consists of a mixture of churches, fast food eateries, or businesses that aren’t Black-owned. There’s even evolved a new term to describe the lack of grocery stores in the ‘hood, “food deserts”. So, you have easier access to McDonald’s, Popeyes or barbecued pork rib tips but there’s no nearby grocery stores that sell fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy foods. There aren’t even any decent medical facilities in the ‘hood. The areas that have the most crime are not near trauma centers. Black victims of crime, especially our youths, are dying because the ambulance had to travel so far to get to a medical facility equipped to deal with the injury.

In this same ‘hood during the Christmas season (or any other white holiday season for that matter), go to a Walmart and on some days, you can barely get into the parking lot, it’s so crowded. Carts are filled with “sale” items—TVs, varied electronic items, toys, etc. If any store there or abroad sells Christmas trees, decorations and other accessories, you can be assured Black people are snatching them up, they will be sold out before the season ends. As stated by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in Our Saviour Has Arrived, “The merchants’ pockets are made fat for Christmas—the tobacco factories, the beer and whiskey traffic and wine. These three things, beer, wine and whiskey, find a great sale at Christmas time. Also, much wild game is bought. And the fattest pig that their farmer can produce is bought. All of these things, especially intoxicating liquors and the eating of swine flesh and drunkenness, dancing, and gambling, are done on the day that they commemorate for a man that they claim to have been a most perfect man; holy, righteous, the son of God.”

How is this helping us, throwing all this money to the American economy that won’t even give us decent grocery stores in our neighborhoods? Won’t even provide decent medical care in our neighborhoods? An economy that won’t even put decent schools in our neighborhoods and in fact, closes down schools? We don’t make decisions about the stores, hospitals or schools in our neighborhood, white America makes those decisions. All that money we spend on Christmas is not helping Black people, America uses it for anything but helping make decent Black neighborhoods; it’s helping, feeding, the American economy, the white beast that does everything they can to keep us down. It’s like we think that by putting all that money into a government that has done nothing but keep us oppressed with injustice year after year after year after year, is somehow magically going to start helping us. Seriously????

“We are celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ.”

Nope. Even white people that pushed this mess on us acknowledge this is not true because Jesus wasn’t born in December, and admit that Christmas trees and Santa Claus and wreaths on doors and decorative lights have ZERO TO DO WITH JESUS!!! We do it because white people taught us to this, to keep money in their pockets, out of ours and to keep us worshiping a false God that cannot answer our prayers, cannot help us.

We need to stop celebrating this white holiday that is about nothing but keeping rich white folks richer and instead, spend our money helping each other to build up our neighborhoods. The amount of money that would be saved if we stopped throwing it away on tobacco, swine, liquor and gambling is mind-blowing, another topic for another day. White America is not going to help us clean up our neighborhoods, this is clear, so then we need to unite with our own, seek out other Black people who want to do for self, and work on opening our own grocery stores, our own hospitals, our own Black-run schools, stop supporting and throwing our money to entities who have made it clear they do not care anything about us. This is the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Thank you for reading!

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Tom and Jerry! I don’t care how old I get, I will never get too old to enjoy a Tom and Jerry cartoon, watching Tom fall into all kinds of Jerry traps, he never learns, he never ceases trying to get Jerry no matter how many times Jerry outwits him. I even liked the movie. Some didn’t because they talked. That didn’t bother me, I liked it because in spite of their history, they put all that aside and came together to help each other and the little girl. And then at the end, back to the age old chase!

Fasting As In the Month of Ramadan

As Salaam Alaikum (peace be unto you)

December is the month the Honorable Elijah Muhammad chose for his followers to fast as in the month of Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, wrote in his book, How To Eat To Live Book 1, “We fast the 12th month of the Christian year to relieve ourselves of having once worshipped that month as the month in which Jesus was born. It is now known and agreed upon by the scholars and scientists of religion that nothing of the kind took place 2000 years ago. Jesus was born, not in the month of December, but rather–as God has revealed it and according to the season that history claims existed in that time–the first or second week in September.”

May Allah Bless all the true Believers have a successful and peaceful fast!!
