Christianity was always the backbone of “black American” culture and Islam should’ve never made its way into Black communities. Arabs never did and still don’t want anything to do with Black people unless they are making money in black communities.
The creation of NOI (as a religion) was one of the biggest Ls in modern African American history (in my opinion). They even had the entire black community pronouncing and spelling “muslim” wrong and you see no Arabs even bother to correct it .
Not sure how a random middle eastern/Indian salesman convinced poor black detroiters into believing he was God in flesh and that Black Americans are the “lost tribe of shabazz” and Christianity is a racist “white mans” religion
Basically the same tactic Hebrew Israelites have used which allowed them infiltrate black communities and culture currently. Instead of wanting an “Arab” religious identity, they are now the “real Jews”
