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!
