Hey, let me share this with you all.
Yesterday I was dialoguing with a devoted Christian and a common friend at the YMCA. It has been about a year now dialoguing with this Christian friend and every time he makes a point I would reply that prophets are racially different and that would nail him down.
So he said to me, Harry let us take the race factor out. Right away this tells me that he is coming around to realizing how true profoundly important my point about prophets being racially different is. He is realizing that he must let Jesus go and he doesn't want to let Jesus go. Jesus was a Jew and my friend is a Black American man born out of the ashes of plantation slavery which is not where Jesus came from, am I right.
But anyway, my reply to him was absolutely not. We will not take the race factor out. We will not close our eyes to what has been a part of the natural spiritual landscape since God anointed the first prophet and before my friend was born. It just so happens that no one had ever seen this fact. Neither did Dr. King, Mr. Farrakhan, Mr. W. D. Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad saw this fact that prophets are racially different.
So I asked him can you take the sun out of the sky. I asked can you take the water out of the ocean. So, how can you close your eyes to the fact that prophets are racially different and that prophets can only deal with the problems of their people for which God anointed them to fix. I concluded by telling him that Jesus cannot help him because Jesus and he are racially different.
You all know that the prophet that can help my ignorant Christian friend must be a prophet the same race as my friend is. Am I making any sense?
When Black Americans takes me more seriously and realizes that they cannot follow behind Jesus, Mohammed and celebrate other people's religious rituals as if it was our own will be the moment Black Americans will be showing signs of life because right now you all are absolutely dead.
Am I wrong to know that prophets are racially different? And, did any of you all out there know that prophets are racially different?
The prize is what are your take away that prophets are racially different?
Tell me what you think.

Harry, I can hardly improve on Irma's reply, but I think your friend is safe with Jesus. Yes, I love you too, and someone I think has said that's what makes the world turn round.
