JABRIL.MUHAMMAD
How important is anything to anyone? Now, how important is it, especially in what is called the end of time? Whose time? Who makes it? And how do you explain this in any language, without lying. How is mathematics involved in it, and more, and does it involves the Bible and the Holy Qu’ran?
I started my last article with these words: “And the Lord shall be king over all earth … .” Zechariah 14:9.
Many years ago I spoke and wrote about a situation that could happen before the Honorable Elijah Muhammad left the U.S.A.
Now, I thought about writing about President Obama and his wife–but especially his wife–of what I saw on TV concerning her, a few weeks ago.
I’m especially looking forward to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Saviours’ Day address, Allah willing he will speak in this world’s situation.
I wrote the following words and at the end I ask you to look at the context. I wrote these words in the early 1960s.
“This blind ‘leadership’ does not go to the root of their people’s problems. Nor have they understood why their leadership is so futile. They have not led our people anywhere but further into error. (On the other hand, Messenger Muhammad goes to the root of our troubles.)
“The Black clergy class, educators and politicians are not taught by the white man to really think in terms of the roots of our troubles. Often when these types of ‘leaders’ seem to make sense, closer observation reveals that they are doing no more than echoing Messenger Muhammad.
“Again, in recent years, many Black people (among whom are the critics) have repeated much of Messenger Muhammad’s exposure and indictment of white America’s vicious and destructive dehumanization of the Black man; from the time the Christian slave traders began bringing our ancestors to these shores, until today. But none of them went to the real roots of our enslavement.
“Nor have they gone into exactly how the white man retains his enslaving grip on us. Among these Black people are pseudo-scholars and ‘yellow’ journalists who have lined their pockets and gained a measure of ‘stature’ as ‘spokesman’ for their people.
“These are the types of Black men that many white people claim to admire. Some whites even put pictures of these types of Blacks on their mantle piece, or over the fireplace, or on their walls, or in the Trophy Room where they have the heads of the animals and big fish they have caught.
“Obviously, the above is a generalization. But it does fit almost every Black man who became an ‘instant expert’ on Messenger Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. Many of these ‘experts’ on The Messenger, and the Black man’s problems, have been raised to higher levels of degradation, (although they think it is elevation). Not all of our ‘critics’ are as open as others. They do their work behind the scenes.
“These rotten characters among our people have not come out in publications and expressed their deceitful objections to the Nation of Islam. However, many of these ‘secret’ enemies are ‘highly regarded’ for what they have said in public about the supposed virtues of integration and the ‘American way.’ In their public comments they are careful not to mention the Muslims. Many of them are not known to the public.
“Look at the recent profusion of speeches, articles, and books by this sudden growth of Black and white ‘experts’ on every facet of the Black man’s life in America. Consider the constant flow and wealth of details on the worsening economic plight of Black people; of what the great majority of us earn in contrast to whites; that the gap increases each year; that most of us earn well below what the government says you must have to live adequately in this country today; that we still are the last ones hired and the first ones fired; and we still have the worst jobs, etc.
“Some even say Black people pay a ‘color tax’ in that we often get less pay for the same work. Our living conditions are overcrowded and filthy. We still live in the worst homes and are so poor that we can’t move in appreciable numbers into better homes. A greater percentage of Black families live in substandard housing than do white people.
“This blind ‘leadership’ does not go to the root of their people’s problems. Nor have they understood why their leadership is so futile. They have not led our people anywhere but further into error. (On the other hand, Messenger Muhammad goes to the root of our troubles.)
“The Black clergy class, educators and politicians are not taught by the white man to really think in terms of the roots of our troubles. Often when these types of ‘leaders’ seem to make sense, closer observation reveals that they are doing no more than echoing Messenger Muhammad.
“Time and again you see and hear of our people pointing out–after Messenger Muhammad had spread the fact, far and wide, among Black people–that the white man’s advances in technology and growing automation is cutting out more jobs. This has and still means fewer jobs for our kind. With qualifications getting higher, for the remaining jobs, and with more unprepared young Blacks thrown onto the job market, the crisis in unemployment for our people has intensified.
“We are barraged with the fact that the educational system is actually destroying Black children. The system renders Black children increasingly less fit to cope with the problems of adulthood. It has become more obvious that Black children are actually mis-educated in the school houses of white America.
“They come out (or drop out) of school with degrees in crime, or with numerous seeds of self-destruction well planted in them. At best, they leave school unable to communicate, frustrated and embittered, unprepared to cope with this world’s evils.
“Welfare is a cruel hoax; a dehumanizing fraud! The poor Black people caught up in the web of poverty and ignorance are victims of the whims of whites. The relief-payment schedules are under what the government claims you must have to reach the bare minimum levels of health, etc. Over and over again, one can hear and read that Black college graduates earn less money than many whites, who never completed high school.
“The medical or health predicament of our people is astounding–worse than some so-called ‘backward’ areas of the globe. The gap between the life expectancy of White and Black, and the rate, at which Black mothers die in childbirth, is actually widening! (Meanwhile, rich Black people have so far refused to help the Messenger build that hospital in Chicago, though they know it is needed.)
“The robbery of our people in neighborhood stores; the paying of higher prices for inferior merchandise; the insults Blacks experience from store keepers are among the daily indignities we suffer.
“Recently the government admitted what hungry Brothers and Sisters knew all along–many Black people go to bed hungry at night. All of this is stated with increasing vigor by many Black voices–including the critics of Messenger Elijah Muhammad.
“Since the so-called discovery of America, Black people have been used to serve the interest of whites and their lackeys. Specific tricks used by white people are written of and spoken about openly by more and more Black and White observers–including the critics of Messenger Muhammad.
“All of this and more we suffer. The violent crimes we commit against one another; the addiction to drugs; the high degree of alcoholism; gambling; adultery; fighting; and other manifestations of the condition of this poor, crushed Black man and woman has been told again and again.
“More and more of us have become increasingly aware of our ‘miserable state of condition.’ The ‘vicious circle’ of white hatred and exploitation; mis-education; low level of ambition; immorality; unreliability; poverty; lack of adequate legal protection; poor health; blind and foolish leadership; has led to the needless death of many of our beloved people.
In addition, we bring a lot of our troubles on.
I wrote (and spoke) the above many years ago, before the Honorable Elijah Muhammad “left.” How many of us see the relationship between the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan? How many of us see the relationship between Moses and Aaron? How do we see the relationship between David and Solomon and the relationship between the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan–on every aspect and on all levels without lying?
More next issue, Allah willing.
