I'm not the most righteous person on Earth, and I don't expect any leaders to be, what I do expect is a sincere effort to better the circumstances of black people. So you can be a cheat, an addict, whatever, if you can handle the business and put together effective strategies none of that stuff matters in the big picture.
I've met members of NOI, who were good outstanding citizens and others who are straight gangsta, but I don't look at gangstas or thugs has being bad people off GP.
I also know someone, won't use names, who use to be a bodyguard in several black power movements, and the NOI are extremely gangsta when it comes to harming other blacks.
The guy Seti who does all those debates as had shoots outs with the police and the Nation of Islam, I've heard this for somebody who use to ride with him on some G shyt. so you have to understand that NOI is without a doubt a gangsta organization.
I shouldn't have said I had no respect for them, don't get it twisted, I'd ride with them against crackers any day of the week.
But
I'm glad you brought up the Million Man March, this what killed the NOI in my eyes and where Farrakhan lost power as an effective leader.
This dude gather a MILLION BLACK PEOPLE, they were ready eager, they came to see what this guy had to say, they were ready for whatever, and he wasted it. And when I say whatever I don't mean anything violent, but just a course of action to build a black infrastructure in america.
NOBODY EVEN REMEMBERS A WORD HE SPOKE MAN, he obviously didn't say shyt, he obviously had no end game, he had no goal, the shyt was a big ass family reunion for the most part.
NOI they make a lot of money, their organization is impressive in that manor, what I have a problem with is not the religious rhetoric or they profited from membership, because every movement needs funds. My problem is ain't none of this resulting in relief of the people among us who need it the most.
They reason why I'm anti-religion is not because I'm athiest, because I'm not one.
When I drive through the hood the newest and most kept buildings I see are Liquor Stores, Churches, and Funeral Homes. So these are the business making the most money in the black community.
People are depressed, life is hard, so they drink to escape, the church prays upon the despair the people are suffering with hymns, and talks of Heaven, how everything will be alright after your die, while the pastor is in heaven right now, thanks to his followers. The funeral homes stay busy, because nikkaz is out drink, high and ready to die.
I bring up Kemet a lot, and try to bring it to nikkaz attention, because this where it all began not just for us, but for civilized life. This is the blueprint for black people to become a nation of ourselves.
We can win playing other people's games. We think different, we are different, we must live different.
We place are women down beneath is like the whites, like the arabs, like the asians, but this is not what our great black nation did. The mans job was secure the seat of the woman, in Kemet the black woman was the one who judge, and laid the law she was the only one fit.
We are scientific people my nikka, marriages were not just arranged, they use to take the blood of the boy and girl, and put together to see how it would react, and that's how they decided if the two were make a good match or not.
shyt gets deep man, but at the end day, all I can do is better myself and the environment around. If every capable black man can do this, it will be a start.
I think we need even more to counter the mind numbing crap that is flowing through the hood from the YMCB,rick rosses and all that other corporate sponsored buffoonery...
. 'civilized' history in public schools either start with egypt(but not for long and miseducation everywhere) or the greeks for a reason. It's because they teach daily that white people are the evolution of man.
