(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.
