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.

As Salaam Alaikum (Peace be unto you)

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!
