Muhammad because the government is against our God. The government does not want our people to listen and understand the solution that God has given the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Not a temporary solution which will benefit only the hand-picked upper-class Negroes, but a solution divinely designed to solve the plight of the Black masses in this country permanently and forever. Not your God but from the God of our forefathers. We saw no real leader among our people.īut today the whole world is talking about the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the divine solution he received from the God of our forefathers. We who are Muslims saw no way out until we accepted the religion of Islam and the spiritual guidance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. So we thank God for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Giving birth to children who see no hope or future but to follow in our miserable footsteps. Or in this vicious cycle going in circles. We spend a lifetime in this vicious circle. Inferior jobs, inferior housing, inferior education which in turn again leads to inferior jobs. We are trapped in a vicious cycle of economic, intellectual, social, and political death. The white power structure downtown makes certain that by the time our people do graduate, we won’t be equipped or qualified for anything but the dirtiest, heaviest, poorest-paying jobs. We have inferior teachers and we get an inferior education. Because we are forced to live in the poorest sections of the city, we attend inferior schools.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that our people are scientifically maneuvered by the white man into a life of poverty. And it is these legal crooks who pose as our friends, force us into a life of crime, and then use us to spread the white man’s evil vices in our community among our own people. The real criminal is the white liberal, the political hypocrite.
But the real criminal is in the City Hall downtown, in the State House, and in the White House in Washington, D.C.
Unemployment and poverty have forced many of our people into a life of crime. And some of us are used by the white overlords downtown to push dope in the Negro community among our own people. Many of us turn to crime, stealing, gambling, prostitution. The Black masses remain trapped in the slums.Īnd because there seems to be no hope or no other escape, we turn to wine, we turn to whiskey, and we turn to reefers, marijuana, and even to the dreadful needle – heroin, morphine, cocaine, opium – seeking an escape. The wealthy, educated Black bourgeoisie, those uppity Negroes who do escape, never reach back and pull the rest of our people out with them. Our people in the Negro community are trapped in a vicious cycle of ignorance, poverty, disease, sickness, and death. On October 11, 1963, Malcolm X gave a speech at the University of California, Berkeley, in which he outlined the philosophy of black nationalism as promoted by the Nation of Islam and declared racial separatism as the best approach to the problems facing black America.
