I
respect the good work they've done in terms of helping to rehabilitate prisoners, helping people start businesses, etc.. But the NOI is It's not in black peoples' interest to cling to dead ideas. Black people can't be positive without believing in all that dopey NOI shyt? The theology is comical sci-fi nonsense and Farrakhan is a scientologist, rocks finger waves, calls a white man God, and killed Malcolm X.
They were founded by a white man and they call a white man God. You're a Muslim though, so I understand you are accustomed to looking up to caucazoid people as your divine superiors.
The NOI is not leading black people into 21st century prosperity. I think you know being able to network, establish relationships, brand yourself, and build a reputable resume both figuratively and literally is mandatory to excel in the professional world. No one of any race, including black people, is going to take anyone serious repping that NOI shyt, lol. Try listing the Honorable Minister Khalid Abdul Shabazz Muhammad as a reference. That shyt is radioactive unless you just want open up a car wash in the hood or something. Them doing their little Saviors Day in Detroit is quite symbolic.
Btw, EVERY chick I've ever met from an NOI family in Norfolk is a hoe. Those Elijah Muhammad teachings on discipline don't prevent them from taking a multitude of dikks into their earth.
Stop clinging to dead ideas whose time has passed.
