it has nothing to do w islam. It's well documented that black muslims stood up during slavery and had multiple uprisings and were considered difficult to deal w. Also, my own people in africa and area have been historically muslim for a long time.... so it's not too bad for me to b one, especially since people of the area converted willingly. But if any black person wanted to be a Muslim.... I would surely suggest that's a personal religion, not affecting anything...i honestly have no idea what any if that means, is that some muslim shyt, which reminds me are you in any position to talk? cuz you are the dude going around spreading arab ideology in the black community and saying muslims are the only people that stood up to slavery when in reality muslims participated in the slave trade and all kinds of other islamic gibberish
but bottom line, my point and the point of the article is that focusing on individual rights and economic rights and capitalism is the key to creating a prosperous africa and it it follows from that that its also the key to creating prosperous black communities in the americas, that is the bottom line
and I don't spread Islam or religion in the black community. most people probably think i'm atheist because I believe that religion is part of the problem in our community. But spreading religion > spreading western imperialism and c00nery
- MLKOne day we must ask the question, “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life’s market place. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. You see, my friends, when you deal with this, you begin to ask the question, “Who owns the oil?” You begin to ask the question, “Who owns the iron ore?” You begin to ask the question, “Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that is two thirds water?” These are questions that must be asked.
- XI might point out here that colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources."
