Farrakhan's sin and why I still love him and all of you!
I love Minister Farrakhan because if not for him keeping alive the teachings of Elijah Muhammad no telling where I might be in consciousness but it doesn't mean that I would be lost. So many of us are lost and like those lost in defending this man's great sin and betrayal of a friend. Louis Farrakhan admits creating the atomosphere that lead to Malcolm's murder. Many times he referred to Malcolm X as a traitor but a traitor to what?
Malcolm's father Earl Little died for freedom early in his life when Malcolm was still a child this tragic event lead to Malcolm's X unfortunate life many refer to but never give credit to how Malcolm come to be a criminal. Being passed from foster shelter to living with relatives and then on the streets of Boston he suffered a hell most never know for his father's great sacrifice. But he redeemed himself and followed in the footsteps of his father and became a great leader in our American revolution. Too many give credit to Elijah Muhammad but Henry Clark and I and others know that Malcolm's greatness came from genetics not from hearing Elijah Muhammad. Many people heard Elijah Muhammad but didn't become Malcolm X and some were not even moved by his words including Minister Farrakhan whom openly admitted that Elijah bored him when he heard him.
As African people we are the biggest believers in genetics because we are a family loving people whom constantly refer to each other as brother and sister. If we love the father or mother of someone we love their children and believe they will be great and follow in their footsteps. We were the first people to introduce, train, nurture and foster royal lineages. We loved our royal and noble families and we still do today when we take care to look back at the King family and show respect to them when we see one of them. Some of us do that with the Malcolm X family and we know they sacrificed two generations in the name of making us stronger! I wish I could see one of them so I can give them whatever I have to give them to say thank you for looking out for me even if it was your father or grandfather that did it I'm saying thank you through you for their sacrifice. This is the noble quality we should have in us and that we honor our greatness.
But in respect to Farrakhan we have to honor the good he has done but no one can take away the bad wickedness he did. Many people refer to Farrakhan as Aaron well Aaron rose up to his greatness but it was Aaron's sins that almost destroyed the whole nation. The murder and betrayal of Malcolm X almost destroyed our whole movement for freedom. We don't trust each other any more and the Nation of blacks walked away in the 70's after the deaths of MLK and MX. The Baby Boomers felt the whiteman's ice was colder and they felt safer in white communities so they abandoned their own. It's all related to how we turned on a great family that gave to us. How could we justify not taking care of Malcolm's family and then take care of the men whom killed him? How can we have freedom and prosperity without having security that protects our greatness and maintains it?
What Farrakhan did was disgusting jealousy but I still love him like I still love some of my family members whom committed heinous crimes. But as King in a Black American Nation I would sentence them all to death including my own blood. Can we make that step? Can we judge our own in the name of peace and security in our communities? Antisocialism is a threat to our unity, to our economic survival and ultimately how God favors us. We can't let sin run rampant while we try to justify the murder of an innocent man just because he was once a criminal. All of us have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. Malcolm didn't deserve to killed but murdering him and allowing the men who killed him to enjoy hero status was an ugly deed that God doesn't like. All because of one man's weakness and a bunch of corrupt money hungry negros whom robbed our children's future with their greed not because some noble principal like some are proposing. Malcolm wasn't a threat to the N.O.I or Elijah only to the corrupt money laundrying negroes that was taking from the people and Farrakhan was their ring leader.
Right is right and wrong is wrong and the murder of Malcolm X was entirely wrong. The entire N.O.I wasn't responsible so I dont' say the N.O.I killed Malcolm. I say Louis Farrakhan and his cronies killed Malcolm. But to side with them puts you on the wrong side and to side against them puts you on the right side. If we want unity then we must unite behind right there's no unity with uniting behind wrong. The whole thing will fall apart if we unite behind wrong the way it did with the murder and betrayal of Malcolm.
Hello Mr. Washington,
The gist of your blog spells out integrity and without it, our sovereignty will not work. You said wrong is wrong, you are absolutely correct, and the conspiracy to kill Malcolm was wrong. The NOI has the blood of Malcolm, immorality and robbing our poor blind, deaf and dumb people out of their monies that supports the elite. There is no equal return to our poor blind, deaf and dumb Black American people since only the elite corporate members of the NOI owns everything. That is how White America’s laws see the operation of the NOI. In other words, the corporate members of the NOI is operating legally while they are sucking the blood money out of the poor blind deaf and dumb Negroes.
The Exodus costed the Hebrew people nothing. Moses did not charge the Hebrew people anything to lead them out of bondage.
Switching gears, I want to address this comment that you made, “Mr. Watley here constantly speaks of a Black Nation but are we really ready for Nationhood or even self governance?”
This decision of Black nationhood does not lie with Black Americans. The determination that Black Americans become a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders is a decision that only God could make. Consequentially, God has made the decision that Black Americans become a sovereign people. I am the first to know, as Moses was the first to know of his people’s Exodus. Am I making any sense with you?
Let me apply some rhyme and reason to what I am saying. Black Americans does not have the wherewithal to decide for themselves whether they are ready for nationhood. Consequentially, Black Americans cannot free themselves, therefore, we neither could decide who our prophet should be nor could we decide that we are ready for sovereignty. Therefore, the determination that we become a sovereign people has to be made by an entity more intelligent than we are and more powerful than our opposition, White America. Nevertheless, as hard-pressed as White America would be they will be happy to see us sovereign.
What I am saying is the same thing that happened with the Hebrew people and Moses. The Hebrew people had no authority over themselves to decide that it was time for the Exodus. The Exodus was determined by God and arranged and carry through by Moses. The entity, (God) is more intelligent than the Hebrew people are and more powerful than their opposition, Pharaoh and the Egyptian people.
Now, it took Moses approximately 20 years convincing his people that their time has come. Likewise, I am telling Black Americans that our time has come as well. We are going to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way. Today Black Americans are the apple of God’s eye. 41 million souls will be lifted out of the hands of White America and claimed by God.
Tell me what you think.
