Nation of Islam: “We Have Been a Blessing to this Country”
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On May 8, 2014 @ 11:35 am In The Point | 45 Comments
What’s the right term for a hate group that calls for national separatism and believes that white people are the devil?
Minister Tracy Muhammad serves as the Virginia and Richmond Representative to the Nation of Islam, and he disputed the SPLC’s findings. “Our history in America is such that we have been a blessing to this country.”
“We`re not racist, we`re not anti-Semitic,” Muhammad said.
“Neither one of those three charges is true…the Nation of Islam is, and will always be, about the uplifting and resurrection of oppressed people here in America, whether they be black, brown, red, yellow, or white,” Muhammad said.
To that point, CBS 6 asked Muhammad about various anti-Semitic statements Farrakhan, made about Jewish people.
“Minister Farrakhan has stated he admires Jewish people, but he does not approve of, nor do we, the inexorbitant control that Jewish people have over the lives and destiny of black people here in America,” Muhammad said.
Instead of quibbling over Farrakhan’s teachings, let’s look at Nation of Islam theology.
“The Blackman is the Original Man. From him came all brown, yellow, red, and white people. By using a special method of birth-control law, the Blackman was able to produce the white race. This method of birth control was developed by a Black scientist known as Yakub, who envisioned making and teaching a nation of people who would be diametrically opposed to the Original People. A Race of people who would one day rule the Original People and the earth for a period of 6,000 years. Yakub promised his followers that he would graft a nation from his own people, and he would teach them how to rule his people through a system of tricks and lies whereby they use deceit to divide and conquer, and break the unity of the darker people, put one brother against another, and then act as mediators and rule both sides.”
(Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman in America, Muhammad’s Temple No. 2.)
Translation: white people are the devil. NOI figures occasionally try to claim that this is a metaphor. It clearly is not.
Yakub is the biblical Jacob, who in NOI’s wacky theology was a mad scientist who bred out black traits from the human race to create brown people.
(This doesn’t mean anything particularly good for light skinned black people or Latinos.)
Or let’s quote Mo directly.
WHAT IS ISLAM?
3 These enemies of Allah are known at the present as the white race or European race, who are the sole people responsible for misleading nine-tenths of the total population of the black nation.
Here’s what Nation of Islam members believe about the origin of all non-black peoples.
After the first 200 years, Mr. Yakub had done away with the black babies, and all were brown. After another 200 years, he had all yellow or red, which was 400 years after being on Pelan. Another 200 years, which brings us to the six hundredth year, Mr. Yakub had an all-pale white race of people on this Isle.
So every race except black is inferior.
The Yakub made devils were really pale white, with really blue eyes; which we think are the ugliest of colors for a human eye. They were called Caucasian — which means, according to some of the Arab scholars, One whose evil effect is not confined to one”s self alone, but affects others.
There was no good taught to them while on the Island. By teaching the nurses to kill the black baby and save the brown baby, so as to graft the white out of it; by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people also born in them — or made by nature a liar and murderer.
So yes, according to the NOI, white people are genetically evil.
After 2,000 years of living as a savage, Allah raised up Musa (Moses) to bring the white race again into civilization
Okay….
Their pale white skin; their blue eyes (even disliked by themselves) tells any black man or woman, that in those blue and green eyes, there just can’t be any sincere love and friendship for them.
No racism to see here. Just the blessing of The Nation of Islam.
