NOI mosques aren't booming with membership the way churches are. They don't damn near force donations the way other religious organizations do... and most of the members give more to the community than they take from it. They have a positive and good message and most importantly They are the ones that spawned the higher consciousness of urban blacks. You can't take your hate out on the NOI for what churches have done,, because first and foremost, NOI members kick knowledge. Not NOI knowledge, or Islamic knowledge, they teach universal knowledge.
I do agree that they didn't capitalize on the million man march, but I also will point out that they are the only ones who could have pulled it off.. Just like in the 50 60 70 80 90's they are the ones most responsible for transforming brothers from ignorant self destructing fools to good people - there are soooo many dudes who never joined the NOI whose life was changed by them.
On one hand you say they are basically robbing black people, but then you disrespect #1 because it's in the hood. That shows that u can't just generalize them as another church, because I live here.. the equivalent churches are huge, bring in maddd money and the leaders are rich and not regular ass nikkas who work at the plants n sh1t.
I didn't disrespect temple no. 1 because its in the hood, I was just giving you the reality that NOI started in Detroit and the city is worst than it's ever been presently, and outside selling fruit on the streets they have absolutely no presence in the community
