THE BLACK MAN'S DUTY

by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
The Messenger of Allah


 THE DUTY of the Black Man is to do something for his Black self and Black kind. THE DUTY of the BLACK MAN IS self-preservation.

EVERY LIFE that is created on the planet earth has a duty. It is bound to this duty, by nature, to do something for self.

THE ONCE slave Black Man in America -- enslaved by the white people, his white slave master and enemy, made the Black Man a subject and keeps him a subject by depriving the Black Man of the knowledge of self and the doing for self. These are the two most hated things which the white man hates to have come to the Black Man -- the freedom to DO something for Black self and the freedom to THINK for his Black self. He hates for the Black Man to be a visionary for his Black self. He hates for the Black Man to control ideas that will produce recognizable constructive plans and doing for Black self.

We are just entering into a day and time that we should have had 100 years ago.

AS YOU SEE, my Followers and myself try the utmost to do something for self and this is hated by white America. We are an example for the Black People here in America who wish to try and do [something for self]. [Whites are angry at you] for exercising such freedom for Black self that white America would like to go to war with you and destroy not only your efforts and the produce which you are producing, but they even want to destroy your life, your self, because of your efforts to do something for self.

But we just do not have fear of white people, anymore, also we have control of ourselves. We can show them that we are guided by God, and that we rely on Allah our God and that He is our Avenger against our enemies and is quick to Retaliate as it is written, he is Quick to Take Retribution. The whole country of America is visited by all kinds of Calamities because of the evil that white America has done to us, the Black once-slave. Allah (God) is Happy to Retaliate. He wants to Fight. He Does Not Want us to fight, He Wants to Fight the white man for us. We the Muslims are not going to try to prevent Allah (God) from Fighting for us by putting ourselves in the way. We stay out of the way and let Allah Fight for us.

THE BLACK Man here in America, in Africa and everywhere on our planet earth is hated, despised and opposed by the white man for his efforts to do something for self.

OUR DIVINE DUTY today, is to unite on a constructive plan that I have by the Help and Guidance of Allah (God), set before you. Your efforts, Blind Black leaders, is to have it to say that you lead this people into that plan, in order to get some name for your own Black leadership, which you are not qualified to do, today. It is Divine Leadership that will win for the Black Man and not political leadership, nor Christian leadership.

CHRISTIAN LEADERS have in the past and up to the present day, made much merchandise out of the Black Man in America. It takes a very good spiritual and understanding church preacher to do anything constructive for his people. And he cannot do anything constructive through Christianity. He will have to come to Islam for there is no hope for you in the church. The church is a house of slavery made by the white man for you and me a long time ago and its head is in Rome, Italy. We see how much trouble the head is having. There is not hope for us in any Christian religion and you the Black preachers are the big boosters of the Christian religion. It was organized and is backed by the white man in order to make merchandise out of the Black Man. he has made you to think that Jesus established the church. Jesus prophesied the doom of the white man and all who go in their religious belief.

THERE ARE a few white people who believe in Islam. We give them credit for their belief, but they are not by nature a true Muslim. The Black Man is born a Muslim; by nature, he is a Muslim. The Black man is not to be made into a Muslim. But white people, if they accept Islam, they will be made Muslim on the principle of their belief in Allah and His True Religion, Islam. We call them Muslim through their faith or belief, but they are not Muslim by nature. But we the Black People are Muslim, by nature.

THE DUTY of the BLACK MAN is to do for self and think for self. This duty is now made binding upon us because of the loss of the world power of the white man. The power of the white man is falling hourly.

We can no longer look forward for the white man of America or of the world of his kind, Europe, to care for us. I keep warning you of this. Do not you remember the parable (in the Bible) of Jesus concerning the rich man and the poor man (Lazarus)? The poor man lay at the rich man's gate. While the poor man was suffering in poverty and want and begging, the rich man lived sumptuously, but at last the rich ma died. In the hell of poverty and want the rich man lifted up his eyes to Lazarus and asked for his help.

MANY people think that this could never come to a flourishing and powerful nation, such as America. But rich and powerful nations have fallen in the past and it is happening today and it will happen in your and my time, to this people.

THE BLACK MANS DUTY is for the self-preservation of his Black self and Black kind. I have given you an example through my own work and I am still giving you an example of how you can do something for self.

YOUR BLACK BROTHER AND BLACK FRIEND,

ELIJAH MUHAMMAD

Messenger of Allah to you all.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS NEWSPAPER, September 10, 1971)

 

A T T E N T I O N :
IN 1996 WHEN BLACK TOWN NEWS FIRST BEGAN A CRUSADE AGAINST THE FEMINIST WOMEN'S LIBERATION AS A RESULT OF FEMINIST OPPOSITION TO THE PROMISE KEEPERS MARCH OF 1997, AND THE MILLION MAN MARCH OF 1995, I WAS GIVEN OPPOSITION BY, IRONICALLY, MANY BLACK MEN!! AND IN PARTICULAR, MANY SO-CALLED BLACK MUSLIMS WHO WERE "SUPPOSED" TO BE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF ELIJAH MUHAMMAD.

SO, AS A RESULT, I WAS BLESSED TO BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO SHOW THEM EXACTLY AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT ELIJAH MUHAMMAD HIMSELF SAID ABOUT THE "PROPER PLACE" OF BLACK WOMEN.

ELIJAH MUHAMMAD DID NOT SEEK TO BE "POLITICALLY CORRECT" THUS, NOR SHOULD THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE HIS "TRUE" FOLLOWERS.

THE INFORMATION BELOW COMPLETELY STOPPED THEIR CRITICISM OF ME BECAUSE IT SERVED TO SHOW WHAT BLACK MEN THEMSELVES HAVE FAILED TO DO, WHILE THEY PROFESS TO BE "FOLLOWERS" OF ELIJAH MUHAMMAD. AND WHO HAD A "TWO" MILLION MAN MARCH IN 1995.

SO, IT IS NOW TIME FOR BLACK MEN TO BECOME "LEADERS" AND NOT "FOLLOWERS". AND AS ELIJAH MUHAMMAD HIMSELF SAYS, THE FIRST THING TO "LEAD", IS THE BLACK WOMAN!!!

ALL OF ELIJAH MUHAMMAD'S OFFICIALS HAVE STORIES OF HOW MR. MUHAMMAD WAS SEEMINGLY NEVER SATISFIED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE, BUT NOW, 25 YEARS LATER, WE CAN SEE WHY.

DISSATISFACTION BRINGS CHANGE!!!

THE BLACK WOMAN'S DUTY

HERE IS WHAT ELIJAH MUHAMMAD HIMSELF SAID ABOUT THE ROLE & DUTY OF WOMEN!!!

THESE DIRECT QUOTES BY ELIJAH MUHAMMAD ARE FROM HIS BOOK MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA.

"The Black Woman

The woman is man's field to produce his nation.
If he does not keep the enemy out of his field, he won't produce a good nation."

Page 58

_____________________

"Is not your woman more valuable than that crop of corn, that crop of cotton, that crop of cabbage, potatoes, beans, tomatoes? How much more valuable is your woman than these crops that you should keep the enemies from destroying the crops. Yet you are not careful about your women. You don't love them. Why? It is because you have allowed visitors to run in and out of your house, thus they have destroyed your love for your woman and your woman has not the love for you that she should.

That is a good sign. Until we learn to love and protect our woman, we will never be a fit and recognized people on the earth. The white people here among you will never recognize you until you protect your woman.

The brown man will never recognize you until you protect your woman. The yellow man will never recognize you until you protect your woman. The white man will never recognize you until you protect your woman."

Protect And Elevate Your Woman

"Allah, Himself, has said that we cannot return to our land until we have a through knowledge of our own selves. This first step is the control and the protection of our own women."

Page 59

"You and I may go to Harvard, we may go to York of England, or go to Al Ahzar in Cairo and get degrees from all of these great seats of learning. But we will never be recognized until we recognize our women."

"My beloved brothers in America, you have lost the respect for your woman and therefore you have lost the respect for yourself.

You won't protect her; therefore you can't protect yourself."

Page 59

_____________________

"She is your first nurse. She is your teacher. Your first lesson comes from your mother. If you don't protect your mother, how do you think you look in the eyes of other fellow human beings?"

Page 59

_____________________

"Allah, Himself, has said that we cannot return to our land until we have a through knowledge of our own selves. This first step is the control and the protection of our own women.

There is no nation on earth that has less respect for and little control of their women as we so-called Negroes here is America.

Even animals and beasts, the fowls of the air, have more love and respect for their females than have the so-called Negroes of America."

Page 59

"Our women have been and are still being used by the devil white race, ever since we were first brought here to these States as slaves. They cannot go without being winked at, whistled at, yelled at, slapped, patted, kicked and driven around in the streets by your devil enemies right under your nose. Yet you do nothing about it, nor do you even protest."

"Islam will not only elevate your women but will also give you the power to control and protect them. We protect ours against all their enemies."

"Stop our women from trying to look like them. By bleaching, powdering, ironing and coloring their hair; painting their lips, cheeks and eyebrows; wearing shorts; going half-nude in public places; going swimming with them and lying on beaches with men."

"The American black women are ignorant of the real motive behind the so-called birth control schemes proposed and demanded by white officials. The motive behind these schemes is not designed to promote the welfare of black families, but to eliminate these families in the future."

Page 67

_____________________

"They are seeking to destroy our race by the birth control law, just as Pharaoh sought to stop Moses' race by killing off all the male babies at birth.

They are seeking to destroy our race through our women.

DO NOT LET THEM TRICK YOU.

Follow me and we will, with the help of Allah, stop this most wicked sin against our people."

Page 67

"We know that there was never a time when an actual serpent (or snake) could talk and deceive people in the knowledge of God's law. This same serpent is mentioned in Revelation 12:9 as a deceiver. There (12:9) it is made clear to us that the serpent is The dragon, devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world. 

In Gen. (3:1) he appeared in the Garden of Paradise before the woman and deceived her (Rev. 12:4). He stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered to devour her child as soon as it is born.

The serpent, the devil, dragon, Satan, seems to have been seeking the weaker part of man (the woman) to bring to naught the man -- the Divine Man. It is his first and last trick to deceive the people of God through the woman or with the woman.

He is using his woman to tempt the black man by parading her half-nude before his eyes and with public love-making, indecent kissing and dancing over radio and television screens and throughout their public papers and magazines. He is flooding the world with propaganda against God and His true religion, Islam. He stands before the so-called Negro woman to deceive her by feigning love and love-making with her, give the so-called Negro woman preference over her husband or brother in hiring.

In some cities, the Negro woman receives as much higher salary than the so-called Negro man."

"In some cities, we convert five to one woman. The so-called Negroes should unite and put a stop to the destruction of their women by the serpent."

"Protect your women.

Stop allowing the white men to shake hands or speak to your women anytime or anywhere. This practice has ruined us."

...was no myth...or mystery...
it was a life...
of absolute mysery...
a distortion, contortion, of biblical proportions...

But we tried and tried to survive...
and so far we've managed to stay alive...
but the story ain't over...
so don't you roll over and go to sleep...
sit up and pay attention...
because we gotta keep...
the truth alive of how we almost died,
but instead we survived..

Slavery was no myth or mystery...
nor is it a rehtorical theory...
it's just old fashioned American history!

AMEN!!!
