Siebra you are absolutely wrong about our permanent solution!
How it is that you who followed a failure, but now you have the solution that Elijah did not have.
Our solution is God and our first genuine Prophet since our prophet is dully connected to God as Prophet Moses was who brought the Children of Israel out of slavery and bondage just like we are in, in White America.
It would behoove us to acquire the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of our own prophet and move in that direction.

Elijah Muhammad owned 47 Muhammad Universities, and over 60 mosques (they were called temples at that time). Elijah Muhammad owned farmland in 3 (yes, I said THREE) states. He had over 1000 heads of cattle, 1000 heads of sheep, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, a fleet of trucks, a fleet of airplanes. He owned his own aviation department at the airport.
He also owned a diner, a bakery, a fish factory, a sewing factory, an auto repair shop, a laundromat and dry cleaners, a doctor's office, a dental office, he purchased the facility for a medical center that held over 600 rooms with beds. The purchase of the hospital was announced in the Muhammad Speaks Newspaper, but a couple of weeks after the newspaper made the announcement Elijah Muhammad was hospitalized, and he passed away months later.
Elijah Muhammad also owned the controlling shares of the National Guaranty Bank and Trust. Muhammad Ali kept all of the money from The Rumble in the Jungle, The Thrilla in Manilla, and his other big fights in that bank. During the early 1970's, The Nation Of Islam was worth 80 million dollars. The National Guaranty Bank was worth much more than that alone!
I don't know if you know anything about banking, but in order to own or operate a bank, the Federal Reserve dictates that you keep at least a 50 million dollar reserve, plus 20 million in gold bars by the time the bank closes. If you don't have enough by the time the bank closes, you better hope like hell a neighboring bank will let you hold that amount, and it was not that much different in 1975.
I know you ain't gonna believe that Elijah Muhammad was worth more that 80 million, but Elijah Muhammad had more than his family, his followers, and those outside the Nation Of Islam knew about. He was always discreet about the money. Elijah Muhammad was a whole lot smarter than what you and other NOI detractors and yo-yos on this site give him credit for and brought more to the table in his 40 years of NOI leadership than what the average black person could or can.
What do you bring to the table Harry? Nothing but face and ass...
