How Will We Overcome?

The song “We Shall Overcome” is typical of how we face all our on-going problems in America. It is uplifting, but also unfortunately not very meaningful. It’s all about how it makes us feel, not about what needs to be done.

Here we are, decades from civil rights. We got integration, we got voting rights, we got elected to pretty much every office in politics, even to the presidency. What else am I missing that we wanted and got in America? We have world famous Black sports figures, and artists in every field you can think of—movie, theater, poetry, literature, art of every kind. We have famous Black doctors, lawyers, professionals of every kind. We have Black business owners, some which are millionaires and billionaires. All of this makes us feel good. But, we have not fixed anything.

What we do not have is the most important thing of all—independence. Black independence. With all mentioned above and other stuff not mentioned, we are still dependent on white people to give us everything. I don’t care how rich a Black person is or how much power they think they have, ultimately they have to answer to the white man. Remember President Obama speaking up on behalf of Henry Louis Gates Jr? He had to backtrack on all that, and apologize to a white police man, when the white police man should’ve been apologizing to Mr. Gates. That should have been a sign to every Black man, woman and child in America, having a Black president is absolutely meaningless because a white police man has more power than he does.

The followers of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad were not surprised by this turn of events.

“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 American Negroes’ unity with his brothers. This will make him strong enough to put a President in office, but not over white people.”—The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message to The Blackman, “Protection of the Faithful”

His words rang 100% true when it came to President Obama, and this was written decades before any of that happened.

The only way to fix this problem is Black independence and to get Black independence, we need separation.

I can guess the next argument—we’ve tried to build our own Black communities and every time, white people make some excuse to destroy it, along with Black lives in that community. Rosewood, Tulsa, to name but a few.

This is not something we can do by ourselves. That should have become apparent, after failure upon failure upon failure. So, we try to arm ourselves for protection. How is that going to work, when there are lots more of them with arms? AND they make the arms. And they control who gets the arms. And they control who gets what kind. It’s not going to work. The Black panthers didn’t fix anything.

We need help, badly. This is bad and it getting worse, fast. We need back up.

If we believe there is a God of justice, then we should also believe that there is a way to get justice for ourselves, without relying on the enemy who is denying us justice.

We will find the help we need thru the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He has God backing him up and the same God is behind every one who follows the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was successful. That is a fact. While he was here, he showed us what needed to be done and how to do it.

He was our leader AND teacher.

We need to UNITE behind what he taught us, follow his example and we will be successful. This can be proven. Study history. Do some research on the accomplishments of the Muslims under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Farms, grocery stores, banks, businesses of all kinds, factories, schools, housing, throughout America, even our own place to print newspapers, no handouts, nothing but faith in our God, hard work and dedication, all under the Nation of Islam, all without the backing of white people.

We had our own economic program.

No one else, no other Black leader in America, has made these accomplishments. Ever.

White people didn’t like it. They would’ve made another massacre like Rosewood or Tulsa if they could. You think they wouldn’t???

But they couldn’t.

As the song goes, “Can’t touch this!”

We are a nation within a nation. As he states in Message To the Blackman, “…we are in dire need of unity, but the unity must be backed by a power superior to the power of our enemies. This power is in Allah and the Nation of Islam whose arms are outstretched if we would only accept them.”

“The solution to our problem is Divine.”

Do not continue to expect anything coming from white people to help us, when white people are the ones who made this problem.

Thank you for reading these words!

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.

Make Black People Great Again!

(Black people will have a great future.

Are YOU prepared for that future???)

Happy New Year, readers! Now, we need to figure out to how make this new year work for us.

There are significant changes since last year. What do we need to do to make these changes work in our behalf? No matter how hopeless anything seems, there’s always a way to make it better. The challenge is figuring out how to make these changes work in our favor.

One big change is the election of a new President. Can we use this to make things better? Time will tell, and I don’t mean we have to wait to see. We can look back in time.

“..the people just don’t want you, and why should we say, today, after 400 years, “Let’s try to plan to live with the white American people and get along with them in peace” when we have not been able to live with them in peace for 400 years.” –the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message To the Blackman, “My Mission Is To Give Life”

There is a saying, “No justice, no peace”. Where in history, looking back in time, has there been justice for Black people coming from the America government? Never. In mathematics, if you are trying to prove a hypothesis is not true, all you need is find one example of the opposite. Likewise, why are we still trying to believe the white man will give us justice, when there is not one historical example to back up this idea? None, nada, zero, zilch.

“They have no respect for people who want to be at peace with them. They have no respect for the laws of justice. They have made trouble all over the world with people who were at peace among themselves until the white shadows of the trouble-makers spread out over them. We have history that they, themselves, have written of self, bearing witness to what I am teaching today. What must be done since we cannot get along with them in peace?”—The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Message To the Blackman in America, “Were Muslims Framed To Whitewash The Guilty?”

I’ve heard some say, the next 4 years may be grueling but after President Donald Trump’s term, some other favored candidate will get in and turn the tide. How many times have we been thru that scenario? They took away Affirmative Action before President Donald Trump was in office. Now that he’s in, he’s chipping away at whatever he can that was for the benefit of Blacks. It’s not looking good. Don’t confuse hope with hopeless. Looking for President Donald Trump or any future president to bring justice to Black people is not hope, it is hopeless.

Why, why, why can’t it work? The real question should be, Why would we expect it to work? They brought us here to work for them, not for America to work for us. Literally and figuratively. Why should we expect anything better than just where we are today? Why do we want to dismiss or forget or ignore these facts: we had independence, we had our own land, we had our own economy, we had our own language, we had our own nation. Now, all that’s been taken away, stripped bare, but we’ve made progress? That’s called thinking like a slave. Here’s what makes sense: we will not be making progress until we are back to the way we were before, having a nation of our own. Why not? Why is it that we were good enough before the white man got a hold to us but now we’re not good enough? We can be good enough…if we keep the white man out of it. He was out of it before. He had no part in the building of our great civilizations. The Muslim Program by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad is that blueprint to our greatness. Maybe it’s not what some of us want, because we’ve never known anything but this civilization. However, the time is coming where we will not have a choice.

“Here in America we can see nothing but the fall of America. It is no secret. It is obvious to the eyes that are open. If we want to close our eyes and minds and claim that we do not see and understand, then we will be falling ourselves.”—The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, The Fall of America, Chapter 40: “The Destruction and Fall.”

We need to be prepared for the world that is coming, the world that will “make Black people great again”. We don’t have to do anything, except prepare for what awaits us. That preparation will not be easy, because all we’ve learned during our 400+ year sojourn is how to make America great. But, here’s the best part—once you have that preparation, you will be prepared for whatever President Donald Trump or anyone else throws at us.

The choice is yours, prepare for the future of our people or prepare to part of the fall.

Thank you for reading this.

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!
