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”
