An Economic Blueprint for Black Survival (From the Founder of Nation of Islam)
Final Call News ^ | Updated April 10, 2008 | The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad

Posted on 04/12/2008 12:49:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Black man in America faces a serious economic problem today and the White race’s Christianity cannot solve it. You, the so-called American Negro, with the help of Allah can solve your own problem. The truth must be recognized by the Black man. He, himself, has assisted greatly in creating this serious problem of unemployment, insecurity and lack. Before the Black man can begin to gain economic security, he must be awakened from the dead and gain knowledge, understanding and wisdom which will enable him to follow my teachings. Islam and only Islam will point the way out of the entanglement of "want in the midst of plenty" for the followers of Islam, the true religion of the Black nation.

Know thyself and be yourself. Islam makes a true brother to brother. If this be true, how can a believer (Muslim) be a true brother to another believer and boycott his brother and support the enemy? The believers in truth, Islam, must stop looking up to the White race for justice and take the following steps to correct this problem.

Acknowledge and recognize that you are a member of the Creator’s nation and act accordingly. This action, in the name of Allah, requires you, as a Muslim, to set an example for the lost-found, your brothers in the wilderness in North America. This requires action and deeds, not words and lip service.

The following blueprint shows the way:

1. Recognize the necessity for unity and group operation (activities).

2. Pool your resources, physically as well as financially.

3. Stop wanton criticisms of everything that is Black-owned and Black-operated.

4. Keep in mind — jealousy destroys from within.

5. Observe the operations of the White man. He is successful. He makes no excuses for his failures. He works hard in a collective manner. You do the same.

If there are six or eight Muslims with knowledge and experience of the grocery business — pool your knowledge, open a grocery store—and you work collectively and harmoniously, Allah will bless you with success.

If there are those with knowledge of dressmaking, merchandising, trades, maintenance—pool such knowledge. Do not be ashamed to seek guidance and instructions from the brother or sister who has more experience, education and training than you have had. Accept his or her assistance.

The White man spends his money with his own kind, which is natural. You, too, must do this. Help to make jobs for your own kind. Take a lesson from the Chinese and Japanese and go give employment and assistance to your own kind when they are in need. This is the first law of nature. Defend and support your own kind. True Muslims do this.

Because the so-called American Negro has been deceived and misled, he has become a victim of deception. He is today in the worst economic condition of North America. Unemployment is mounting, and he feels it most. He assisted in reducing himself to his present insecure economic condition. You, the Black man, are the only members of the human race that deliberately walk past the place of business of one of your own kind—a Black man—and spend your dollars with your natural enemy. The so-called American Negro has never in the history of America been known to boycott or criticize the White man as he does his own kind. He thus shows love for his enemy and hatred for his own kind.

A true Muslim would never boycott the place of business of his fellow Muslim or Black brother. A true Muslim is proud of the success of his Black sisters and brothers. He recognizes that their success is his success. He recognizes the law of Islam. If one brother has a bowl of soup you have half of that soup.

Allah has not helped get blacks around the world out of the 7th century.

They got some things right and some things wrong.

The thing that stood out to me was "He works hard in a collective manner" talking about the "white man".

We actually work hard in an individual manner. But with all of us working toward a common goal, it looks like a collective.

Hmmm. Nothing in his message about black religious leaders knocking up black teenage girls and neglecting to provide for the newborn babies financially or otherwise. Nothing in his message about Malcolm X who saw Elijah Mohammad’s hypocrisy in this matter, either.

Curioser and curioser.../sarc

This “blueprint,” in and of itself, is not unhelpful. But, Islam itself has been anything but helpful to black people over the centuries and to this day, from the slave trade to the Sudan. Why this religion has any appeal as a result, in Africa or America, is beyond me. The religion that sustained those in bondage here was Christianity, and the religion that brought about the change of heart to end bondage here was the same.

Sounds like what Brak Obama was railing AGAINST. People clinging to religion and dividing up society among “their own kind”.

maybe Barak should go on tv and make a speech against this sort of bigotry. Maybe.

Diversity training is just another term for political re-education. That Socialist HR departments in corporate America try to push it through in a “business” setting does not mask what it is.

In Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1 no. 63, we read "while we were sitting with the Prophet, a man came and said, "who amongst you is mohammed?" We replied, "this white man reclining on his arm..."

mohammed referred to Blacks as "raisin heads". (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol. 9, no. 256).

I guess Al and Jessie should have him fired and demand an apology?

"Separation: The Only Solution To Our Problem" and "The Fall of America."

The realization the Black Liberationists (the Rev. Wrong is one of it's leaders and the Islamofacists are quietly working together for the overthrow of Whitey = and we better damn well wake up to it.

obamamama is their Black/Muslim Manchurian Candidate.

He has been carefully crafted, by his Svengali Surrogate Daddy, the Rev. WRong, into an empty Polished, Programmed Puppet.

The goal is:

Get him into the WH

pass the anti-gun laws (get guns out of Whities hands)

unleash the Quiet Riots (per another obamamama speech he gave in friendly circumstances where he thought he could speak freely

"Obama Warns Of 'Quiet Riot' Among Blacks"

Their 'Brothers' of Islam will join in the 'war'

http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/Obama.Blacks.Quiet.2.337535.html

and then rule with BLACK POWER

So, Allah made White people (and put them in “Whiteland” I guess) but, it’s the Black people that are the brothers?

How come the Whites can’t be brothers? Or the Jews? Or the Japanese?

Separation. Divide and conquer. Oh, and I love the statement that no White man has ever been criticized for supporting his own. What a crock!

In 1942, Muhammad was arrested in Washington, D.C. on charges of sedition and violation of the Selective Service Act. He was cleared of the sedition charges, but was convicted of the others, specifically for instructing his followers to avoid the draft. Elijah Muhammad was sent to Federal prison for four years.

the doctrine Elijah Muhammad taught was widely viewed as a black separatist doctrine. He taught that blacks were the original people on the Earth and had been tricked out of their power, conquered and oppressed by the Caucasian people via a global system of white supremacy. [3] He further taught that the white race was produced through human breeding. [4]

According to the official platform, as stated by Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam demands, “a full and complete freedom, equal justice under the law applied equally to all, regardless of race or class or color and equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.” The alternative, “justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.”

The rift between Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X was largely due to Malcolm’s discovery regarding rumors that Elijah Muhammad was having sex with various young NOI women and girls working for him, and that he had fathered their children.

“The Most Honorable” my behind.

Why he sounds ALMOST as dangerous as that guy they had the warrant out for in Texas (who wasn't even in Texas).

Imagine what could happen if this Elijah Muhammad character had a MILLION black supremacists all descend on our nation's capital to gather to hear the current leader of the Nation of Islam spout racist rhetoric.

The media would be there to cover the HATE, right? The FBI and ATF would be doing checks against unlicensed guns and wanted fugatives, right? < /s >

Tbe MMM are a bunch of bigots no better than the KKK. Telling me that my skin color was the result of a black scientist's experiment gone wrong in Africa and that I am the White Devil. Hate filled rascist rhetoric. Pure hate.

http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html

excerpt:

‘Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:

True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.

Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”

The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.

Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region...
