Black People Chose the Wrong Fight

America has really messed us up, in more ways than we can keep up with.

How did we get to this point?

At one time, things seemed to be looking really good, like America was finally heading the way we wanted it to.

We got so much stuff we wanted—integration, civil rights, appointments in pretty much any elected or government position there is including a Black president. You can’t get any higher than that.

We have achieved recognition near and far for excelling in entertainment—singing, dancing, acting, sports. We are so recognized in the arts and entertainments that other cultures have openly copied our styles and ideas.

We have Black millionaires, Black billionaires, Black CEOs. We have Black PhDs and scientists across all areas, recognized for contributing to the wealth of America’s knowledge. This list could go on and on.

And we fought hard for all of it.

Now, in a fraction of the time it took for us to get all this, things aren’t looking so great. With all the progress made, it feels like we’re going almost full circle, backwards, back to how it was before integration and civil rights.

What we thought was progress was only temporary, something to keep us distracted from actually addressing the problem.

One presidency and it’s all being wiped out.

Affirmative action, gone. In fact, the discrimination laws put into place so Blacks had a fair representation, are being turned to favor whites in employment and education. So, instead of being cited for not having a certain number of Blacks, businesses and schools are being cited for not having enough whites.

It’s not enough to start taking away what they gave us. They going to take what they gave us and use it against us.

SNAP, Medicaid and other safety nets we used to be able to count on, gutted. More Blacks are losing their jobs, losing their homes, losing their medical benefits, finding themselves unable to continue their education.

Voting districts are being redefined to minimize the Black vote.

It’s even become more common to hear of Black bodies found mysteriously hanging from trees.

We protest, we post on social media. But, it just keeps getting worse. And all we can do is watch helplessly as all this unfolds.

How did this happen?

We trusted our enemy and chose the wrong fight.

Instead of separating from the white man, we chose to integrate.

Instead of doing for self, uniting with our own to lift each other up, we chose to unite with the white man and look to him to lift us up.

Instead of working to be recognized as an independent people, we chose to be recognized as an American.

We proved during segregation that we had the knowledge and power to do for self. We had our own everything.

We had no choice, because the white man wouldn’t let us use his. But then, he kept burning down everything we built up, to discourage us from even trying to do for self.

Then, he says, okay, we’ll integrate and we rejoiced, instead of seeing it for the trap that it was. It killed our spirit of independence, and put us at the mercy of the merciless.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us,

“The white man has made the black man lazy that he may rule and enslave him by producing and selling to him that which he can produce himself. But the white man knows that he has destroyed the black man’s unity, and as long as the black man thinks he cannot love and unite with black, the white man knows that he has a permanent slave.

Come and let us unite under the crescent and do something for ourselves in the way of supporting our own needs. Go after some of this earth for our nation of 22 million here in North America. If it cannot be had here, there is plenty of earth elsewhere.

We want nothing short of a home on this earth that we can call our own—not to be servants and slaves for other free nations.” —Message to the Blackman of America by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, “Of Land and A Nation”

There is quote after quote after quote in his teachings, warning what was to come, telling us what we needed to do, bearing witness to what we see happening today.

He warned us.

We were given choices, and we made the wrong choice, we chose the wrong fight, we listened to the wrong voice, we trusted people we should never have trusted.

We trusted them for our moral, spiritual, physical and psychological well-being and turned us against anyone who spoke against them (told the truth).

Today, Black in America are more dysfunctional than any other people on earth and the whole world including us, knows this. We have become like a computer, programmed to self-destruct.

We know we have the potential to be the greatest people on earth, but face brick walls at every turn, only able to go so far before something stops us. Our greatness is muted, not allowed to grow and flourish.

And this will never change until we recognize the cause of the problem and then act on that knowledge. Not talk about it. Not argue about it on social media. Act on it.

We were given the knowledge. We rejected that knowledge.

“There is no hope for us in Christianity; it is a religion organized by the enemies (the white race) of the Black Nation to enslave us to the white race’s rule. But our unity under the crescent with our Allah’s guidance can get us anything we desire in the way of help and some of this earth that we can call our own. “—Message to the Blackman in America, by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, “The Unity of 22 Million”

Today, we are pay for fighting the wrong fight, for listening to the wrong voice, for trusting our enemy. We ignored the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, one man who had the knowledge and power to lead us to freedom, justice and equality.

He taught us, the solution to our problem is divine. It will never come from white people.

We still have a chance do the right thing but that window is closing. Everything across the globe is spiraling downward, out of control. White rule across the earth is hemorrhaging. They have no control over their destiny and they have no control over our destiny as a nation.

These are the Days of Allah (God), and He is removing them from power and putting the Black man back in power, because we are His people, not them.

The first thing we need to realize is that the solution is not coming from anything associated with the white man, in any form, shape or fashion–culture, religion, politics, crusades, campaigns, initiatives, organizations, in any part of the world, you name it.

If it comes from a white person, it is part of the problem. PERIOD.

Please don’t think this will get better if Trump leaves office. The die is set and America is on a course that cannot be changed and that is NOT a course survivors will be part of.

The whole world is on a course that cannot be changed. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us, the white man’s world is going out and if we want to survive what is coming, we need to be prepared for what is to come. That preparation comes from the knowledge he gave us in his teachings.

“The basis or pillar of that new world is when the old mind has been changed to a new mind or our thoughts are changed to a new mind or our thoughts are changed to a new thought or new way of thinking which brings about a change of the whole body.”—Our Saviour Has Arrived by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, “He (Allah) Makes All Things New”

What The Muslims Want by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad

Message To The Black Man
PROGRAM AND POSITION: What do the Muslims Want?

This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all regardless of creed, class or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.

4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves to be allowed, to establish separate state or territory of their own — either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave-masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave-masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 or 25 years until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.

5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the south.

We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave-masters’ children and establish a land of their own.

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so- called Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land, or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own, we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States but equal employment opportunities — NOW!

We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief or charity or live in poor houses.

8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land.

9. 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 womens’ 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.

10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion Islam taught without hindrance or suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

1. We believe in the One God Whose proper name is Allah.

2. We believe in the Holy Qur’an and the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God.

3. We believe in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it.

4. We believe in Allah’s Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. We believe in the resurrection of the dead — not in physical resurrection but mental resurrection. We believe that the so-called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first.

Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God’s choice as it has been written that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so-called Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. We further believe in the judgement. We believe this first judgment will take place, as God revealed, in America.

7. We believe this is the time in history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the so-called white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed from names imposed upon him by his former slave-masters. Names which identified him as being the slave of the slave-master. We believe that if we are free indeed, we should go in our own people’s names — the black peoples of the earth.

8. We believe in justice for all whether in God or not. We believe as others that we are due equal justice as human beings. We believe in equality – as a nation -of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our slave-masters in the status of Freed slaves.

We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples, and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. We believe that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their friends. Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation.

If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves.

We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people.

10. We believe that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for.

11. We believe our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. We believe that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930 — the long awaited “Messiah” of the Christians and the “Mahdi” of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we can live in peace together.
