If that's everybody, that's all everybody 29 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: did was hustle. So you you know, ghetto boys used 30 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: to have a song that said that the world is 31 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: a ghetto, but when you in the ghetto, the ghetto 32 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: becomes your world. So whatever's happening in that environment, whatever 33 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: goes on around you, goes in you. So I was 34 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: in it and uh medelne you know, and end up 35 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: meeting a young sister as a fourteen year old little 36 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: brother had already been messing around in the streets since 37 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: I was eleven, and she introduced me to two tapes 38 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: by Minisa far Khan in a book by Deanna Bilaja 39 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Muhamma call Messed to the Black Man. I never read it. 40 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: It took like a year or two, but I felt 41 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: so ashamed because I was on the phone with her, 42 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, at night, and and all she keeps talking 43 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: about was black people struggle and God, I'm like, I 44 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: don't even know how to have a conversation. I guess 45 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: I better read. So when I cracked open that book, 46 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, my mind said to me, then this is 47 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: what I've believed all of my life. I just didn't 48 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: know how to say it. And I committed myself to 49 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: the study of it and became a member of the 50 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: nation when I was seventeen, and rest is history. 51 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 4: Let me ask you something, do you think by her 52 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 4: introducing it to you? And that was the first because 53 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 4: that was the first basically religion he was introduced to. 54 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: I was in the church as a youngster, but I 55 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: was not a believer like that, Okay. I tried to 56 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: be yeah, and to be honest the first so long 57 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: story short, I was. I had stopped hustling because I 58 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: didn't like the way it felt. I didn't like the 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: hearing of a siren and feel like I go to 60 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: jail for something and I didn't like that. I felt 61 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: like every time I was giving something to kill my people, 62 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: I was dying on the inside and I was using 63 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: losing love for what I should love, including my family. 64 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: So I said, I'm through, I'm done. I'm done. And 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: the truth is, I was sitting on the porch. Back then, 66 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: y'all know about no pagers and beepers and stuff. We 67 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: had pagers. I said, you know what, I'm turning the 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: pager off today. And I was sitting on the porch 69 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: and a thought came to my mind, and it said, 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: what were the dope things doing when they were your age? 71 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: And instead of going to serve, I went to the 72 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: trap House liquor store. Everywhere we serve, and I just 73 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: start interviewing the people we were serving. And I asked him, 74 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: what was you doing when you was my age? We 75 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: was getting money just like you. I said, what you 76 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: mean getting money cutting grass, painting house? What was you 77 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: talking about? He said no, he was hustling. I said, 78 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: so you're telling me that you used to be selling 79 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: dope and now you own dope. Yeah. And it downed 80 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: on me that if I'm doing what they're doing when 81 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: they were my age, I'm in the route to be 82 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: doing what they're doing when I become their age. And 83 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: I said, I got to renegotiate my contract with life 84 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: and I quit, but the police start looking for me. 85 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: I moved to another side of town, silent for a 86 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: whole three moss and after I quit. But then then 87 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: then at that time, I ended up being introduced to 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: the Nation. But I started off going to church. 89 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: Before, after using the streets at first. After you left 90 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 4: the streets, then you found the nation. 91 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: Found nation after I didn't even know anything about the Nation. 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: I was mad at my mom. I'm like, you mean 93 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: telling me you never bought a bean pile. Nothing out 94 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: of paper or nothing. You not can tell me something. 95 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: But I started going back to church to try to 96 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: get myself strong enough to resist the pull of the streets. 97 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Anybody that's been in the streets know that. You know, 98 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: they're saying that get two birds with one stone. That's 99 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: why they must have called it cracked rock, because it 100 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: gets two people with one stone. That's one to make 101 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: an added to the drugs. The other one was addicted 102 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: to The money just as hard to stop selling as 103 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: it is to stop using. So I'm trying to stop selling, 104 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: but I'm still feeling the pool, you know. Yeah, you're 105 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: talking about fifteen years old. I was. I was three 106 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a week, fifteen years old, sixteen years old, 107 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: so that that kind of money, you know, changes things. 108 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: And so I started going to church, but I didn't 109 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: feel like I was getting the strength to resist the 110 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: pool of the streets. And at that time God sent 111 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: my then girlfriend who now is my wife, okay, and 112 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: we've been together since we were fourteen years of age 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: and married since we were nineteen years of age, and 114 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: she introduced me to it, and I started getting the strength, 115 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: and you know, I went from selling dope to selling hope. 116 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 4: So you thank God since you a wife and your 117 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: way of life at the same time. 118 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I believe. So, you know, my youngest daughter asked 119 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: me one time, but she said, Daddy, because they they went. 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: They went to our school all their life, to high school, 121 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and in high school, they went to the school that 122 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the world was going to. And when they got there, 123 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: everybody that was in the school were the children of 124 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: the people I grew up with. Now, keep in mind, 125 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I was when I was in the streets. Thirteen of 126 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: my closest friends they got indicted and gay. All of 127 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: them was given life by the time I was eighteen 128 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: years old, and some of them are still in jail 129 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: right now. They went in in ninety five and still 130 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: in there right now. But after you know, them going 131 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: the way that they went and I'm out, I end 132 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: up making my mind up that you know, I'm done 133 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: with it, and you know, the rest became history. 134 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: What is the current message to the black man? Because 135 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: we've read message to the black man, but what do 136 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: you think the current message to the black man is 137 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: in the current state that we are in society right 138 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: now in America, particularly. 139 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: It's unfortunately it's the same call on just a different day. 140 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: The honor by Lajah Muhammed made this revolutionary observation. He 141 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: said that that ninety five percent of our problems could 142 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: be solved if we would just unite. And if you 143 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: look in every generation, I don't care what generation you 144 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: go to, whoever grew up in the eighties and nineties, seventies, fifties. 145 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Every time you meet anybody that they say, all we 146 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: got to do is tonight come together. And that's been 147 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: the universal code, which really is a solution. Our problem, though, 148 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: is that we have a misunderstood word, you know. We Yeah. 149 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: So you know, if you're reading a book and you 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: come across a word you don't understand. If you don't 151 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: stop and get your dictionary and clear that word, everything 152 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: you read from that point become a boy. 153 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can throw the whole the whole, Yeah, And. 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: You end up spending two hours reading and don't remember 155 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: nothing except for the five minutes before you came. But 156 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: but so in life, because as a people, we have 157 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: a misunderstood word. When we say unity, it's drawn a 158 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: blank in our struggle. So we say unity, but we're 159 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: thinking uniformity. We're thinking everybody, they got to do the 160 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: same thing in the same way, the same place, at 161 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: the same time, worship in the same spot, dressed the 162 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: same way. And that's not going to happen. That's a mathematical, 163 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: biological impossibility. There's not even two snowflakes that are alike, 164 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: No blades of grass. We got our own fingerprint, pupil 165 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: on voice spot. There's no such thing as uniformity that 166 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: exists exactly, so any difference between but that's how we 167 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: promote it. So you know, it's it's that you know, 168 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: God bless my religion and nobody else. 169 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: You're saying, we all got to be the same. We 170 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 4: can do the same we can work for the same direction. 171 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: That's the way the body was created. So there's a 172 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: verse in the Koran that says that surely there's a 173 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: message in creation for those who believe, and then another 174 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: verse says that God created man in the best of modes. 175 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: So if you study the way the anatomy of the 176 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: human body is, you have all these different organs that 177 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: do different things at different places at a different time, 178 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: but for one common cause, the survival of the organism. 179 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: Fact the kidneys don't look like the lungs. The lung 180 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: don't do what the heart does. The heart doesn't do 181 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: with the brain. The brain doesn't do di spleen. All 182 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: of them do different things at different place at a 183 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: different time, but for one common call. That's what unity 184 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: looks like. So I wonder what would happen if our 185 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: organizations start working like that, organizations doing what you So 186 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: take your mission statement, NAACP Urban League, take your mission statement, 187 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: sorority fraternity, take your mission statement of whatever lodge you go, 188 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: whatever that mission statement is, fulfil your function as that 189 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: organ and let's do what we do for the survival 190 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: of this one black organism. The second side of the 191 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: unity piece that's missing is that we only talk when 192 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: we think unity. We think about brothers coming together with 193 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: brothers or sisters and brothers coming together all on the horizontal. 194 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: But there has to be a vertical too. We can't 195 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: just come together with each other. We got to come 196 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: together with God and principles facts. So if I come together, 197 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: if we come together, how can I be in unity? 198 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: The child molester? How am I gonna be a unity 199 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: with a thief? How am I gonna How we gonna 200 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: work together whenever you might try to take my daughter 201 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: or my wife, so that there has to be a 202 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: vertical unity where we united with God and principle. 203 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: So so some people got to be weeded out at at. 204 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be a natural process, you know. Scripture 205 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: says that when the Messiah comes, that he will come 206 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: like a shepherd, and he would divide up nations the 207 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: way that a shepherd divides up sheep from goat. 208 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: Hold up, hold now, you said said one more time. 209 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: That when the Messiah comes, that he will come to 210 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: as a shepherd, and he would divide up nations the 211 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: way that a shepherd divides up sheep from goat. Now, 212 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: if you look at the characteristics of a sheep and 213 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: the characteristics of a goat, and you superimpose that on 214 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: a human being, sheep is a humble and submissive animal. 215 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: Goat are very mischief making evil, and in fact, in 216 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: the symbol of devil worship is a goat. The symbol 217 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: of devil worship is a circle with an upside down 218 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: five point star, and the upside down five point star 219 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: is really a outline of the head of a goat. 220 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: So you have the bottom of the point at the 221 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: star that's the chin or the gold tee of the goat. 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Then you have the top the horns, and then you 223 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: have the whiskers. So upside down five point star symbol 224 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: of work. So goat represents a mischief type person. So 225 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: whenever you're dealing with God, he talks about a time 226 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: in scripture called harvest time where he'll separate the sheep 227 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: from the goat. He said, he will crush those that 228 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: are a goat like in his left hand, and he 229 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: will exalt those that are like the sheep in his 230 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: right hand and take them to the place of eminence. 231 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: So you know they unfortunately, it will have to be 232 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: a weeding out. If you're not willing to have the 233 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: unity on the vertical, we're not gonna be able to 234 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: be with you on the horizontal. 235 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: What part do you think though religion plays in our 236 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: divide in our community. 237 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: It is another tool of the enemy. See this is 238 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: what's going on when you look at the Bible in 239 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: the Koran. If you just was to do a consolidation 240 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: and synthesize it, God's mathematics is always addition in multiplication. 241 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: The Devil's mathematics is always subtraction and division. So anything, 242 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: even if it's religion, if it produces division, that's a 243 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: sign that that is the playbook of Satan himself. Just 244 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: the fact that we call them denominations should have told 245 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: us something was wrong. D nomination. The prefix d means 246 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: to divide, Nami in Latin means name, So a denomination 247 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: is when you divide up a nation by using different names. 248 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: Anyone that in our view and audience, that can google 249 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: a man named Willy Lynch. There were three primary hierarchies 250 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: in slavery. Slave trader, slave maker, slave master. Willie Lynch 251 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: was a man from the West Indies hired by the 252 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: slave masters and makers of America in seventeen twelve. All 253 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: this man said, look what he said he did. He said, 254 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: I've outlined the number of differences among the slaves, and 255 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: I make them bigger than what they really are. And 256 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: he named eleven different things. And he said, if you 257 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: implement these eleven different natural differences that they have with 258 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: each other and convert them into unnatural divisions. Age, young 259 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: versus old, male versus female, light versus dark, short versus tall, small, 260 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: plantation at odds with big plantation East coast, West coast, 261 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: no Tupakin. Biggie didn't thought that as Willie Lynch started that. 262 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: And look what he said, eleven. If you implement it, 263 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: it'll be self refuel and self perpetuat. In other words, 264 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: he said, I know how to make a self driving negro, 265 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: I know how to make a wireless slave. They'll keep 266 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: themselves in check for three hundred years. Well, if eleven 267 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: things that we call ourselves other than being what we are, 268 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: produces three hundred years of division, all you gotta do 269 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: is look at the math. Eleven produces three hundred. That 270 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: means every division we have produces twenty seven years, three months, 271 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: and seven days of us being disconnected from one another. 272 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: How many do we have now? Now? I'm Capital, I'm Q, 273 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: I'm Delta, I'm Aka, I'm Church of God in Christ. 274 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm Church of God without Christ. I'm Church of Christ 275 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: without God. Not literally, but but we got I'm hesbien La, 276 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm Sunni, I'm Soufi, I'm Site, I'm Hebrewism. All these 277 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: new labels, and ain't nothing wrong with keeping them as 278 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: a secondary label. But the primary thing we should be 279 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: calling ourselves is in Psalms A two verse six years 280 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: all God's children of the most hot God. We are 281 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: all a member of the Creator's nation. 282 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 4: Makes you up. So do you feel as if though, 283 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 4: because some people feel like if they if you don't 284 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 4: get to God the way they get to God, you're 285 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 4: not going to heaven, right, yeah, like most people feel. 286 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: Do you do you feel like that, like if people 287 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 4: don't get to God through y'all teachings, that they won't 288 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: get to heaven. 289 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: I believe that if you really have the true thing, 290 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: if you're a part of anything and you're true to it, 291 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: it's going to get you to the true spot anyway, exactly. 292 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: So the the honorable Minesuluis Farkas said this one time. 293 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: He said that five plus two is seven, and so 294 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: it's four plus three, and so it's six plus one exactly. 295 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: So what difference does it matter what math equation you use. 296 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: The goal is to get to seven, that's the goal. 297 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: So we don't we don't believe that Islam is a religion. 298 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: We believe it is a way of life. It's the 299 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: nature in which we are created. So we take a 300 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: cosmopolitan approach to faith. We believe in Moses and the 301 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Torah or the Old Testament. We believe in Jesus and 302 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: the Gospel, and Muhammad and Holy Karan. We believe in 303 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: every messenger, every one or every prophet and every word 304 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: that came from all of them, in addition to Muhammad. 305 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: So because of that, that cosmopolitan approach we have by 306 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: study of us, we have a higher transformation ratio than 307 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: you see among most faiths when it comes to intelligence, discipline, cleanliness, righteousness, 308 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: or service to the people of God. Look at the 309 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: way the nation operates were outside of the traditional denominationalism 310 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: and the you know, I don't even call it Christianity. 311 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I call it Churchianity because it's more ritual than it 312 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: is the faith, and it's more white supremacy in it 313 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: than it is the Word of God. I did a 314 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: lecture one time, big bang. It's called Christianity versus the Bible. 315 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Shouldn't even be able to do that. But but but 316 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: in it we highlighted seventy one different things that are 317 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: in the scripture of the Bible that is different than 318 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: what most people are teaching inside side of the church. 319 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: That's a hell of a thing. But you can't tell 320 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: me that this is the source of your faith and 321 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: you are practicing something something and it's what we used 322 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: to say in the streets. They put some cut on 323 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: it be twelve and they re rocked. 324 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 4: The rerock back to us. 325 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: And we've been taking a hit and it ain't been 326 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: getting high. We're reading about how high they I mean, 327 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: how great they will be coming off the word when 328 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: we read it, but we haven't become so it's been 329 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: it's been watered down. So we believe that you have 330 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: to step outside of the traditional ritual and look at 331 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: what it represents. So we got people getting you know, 332 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you get dipped in a baby swimming pool 333 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: at the back of the church, and that's all you 334 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: gotta do. I just got a canfacity. No, it's it's 335 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: it's much deeper than that. 336 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: It iss your path. It's the path you walk, right, 337 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. Yeah, it's how you move on 338 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 4: your journey. 339 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: They say anything else when I got. 340 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 4: What you think the biggest what you think the biggest 341 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 4: issue is for like the black community, like the biggest 342 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 4: issue over all besides unity, that would. 343 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: Be I mean that that's so big, man, because if 344 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: if it's off ninety five percent of our problems, if 345 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: we just got that right, the other five percent would 346 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: probably just fade into the darkness. But on the other 347 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: side of the equation, I think that our association has 348 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: breeded an assimilation. We've been among our enemy for so 349 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: long that we've adopted everything that our enemy has given us. 350 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: We we worship what they said to worship, We wear 351 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: the names that they gave us. We eat like they 352 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: taught us to eat. So we've lost our name, our culture, 353 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: our religion, more waste, folk, waste norms, land, god customs. 354 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: We lost everything of essential and we our association is 355 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: breeded in assimilation. So, just like in the hood, whatever 356 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: goes on around you goes in you. On a bigger scale, 357 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: what's been going on around us since we've been kidnapped 358 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: and made slaves, we've been we've been westernized and Caucasianized 359 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: by the enemy. And now we are to each other 360 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: what they used to be to us, worse and worse 361 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: because we're closer and we as right and we and 362 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: we and we have such a deeply rooted trained self. 363 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 4: Hatred yep, and we come in ways as friends and family, 364 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So so we kind of 365 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: get you with your guard down a little bit. 366 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: More and that's what and that and that's what happens. 367 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: But and so, and look at how we train. You know, 368 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: there's nothing that we are given, whether it's a mental 369 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: or a physical diet, that does not promote us being 370 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: against each other. Even the food we eat turns us 371 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: against each other. Think about this. Do you know that 372 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: a pig is a grafted animal. It's three animals put together. 373 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: It's a cat, rat and a dog. It was a 374 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: eugenics experiment that mixed the cat, rat and dog genetic 375 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: makeup to produce the pig. Think about that cat, rat 376 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: and dog. That's what Deanna Bilajah Muhammad said to us. 377 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: Cat rat and dog scientists invented the pig cat rat, 378 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: and look at it. Think about it? 379 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: Does it? 380 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Does it look like a rat a little bit, barks 381 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: like a dog. Look at the boar the original pig, 382 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: fast and frisky like a cat. In the Bible, in 383 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: the Book of Isaiah, it tells when it starts talking 384 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: about out the pig, it talks about the swine and 385 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: the mouse because it's connected together. But if you have 386 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: inside of a swine, pig, a cat, rat, and dog, 387 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: these are natural enemies. If one another, dogs chase cats. 388 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: Cats chaste chase rats. So the nature of a pig 389 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: is self conflicted. So if I'm eating it, and you 390 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: are what you eat, then I by proxy become self conflicted. 391 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: So by eating a self conflicted natured animal, I become 392 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: a self conflicted person. So it's easy for me to 393 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: hurt and kill my brother, or even hurt and kill 394 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: myself because I'm eating that which is self conflicted, So 395 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: I become self conflicted. So that's that's the that's some 396 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: of the math that has us, and that's why the 397 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: scripture tells us in Deuteronomy fourteen and seven and the 398 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: Veticus fourteen and six and Levetics eleven and said, don't 399 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: even touch the pig, because even touching it there's microscopic 400 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: maggots called traquina worms. They're they're so small they can 401 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: go in through the pores of your skin, and they 402 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: began to eat your digestive fluids, go into your ardis, 403 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: climb your spine, getting the brain, eat the brain cells, 404 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: sounding mental power. So when the slave master gave us 405 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: a diet, they made sure give the slaves swine because 406 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: it gives them calories to work. But it's going to 407 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: kill their brain, making it easy for them to be 408 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: made a slave. And if they eat a self conflicted animal, 409 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: they become self conflicted. So I don't have to fight 410 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: and kill them. They're fight and kill each other. Thus 411 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: here we. 412 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 3: Are, yeh man big shout out to the honorable Minister 413 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: Lewis Farakahn. 414 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 4: Did you go to the first millionaire March? 415 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: I did? I was. I was nineteen years of age 416 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: and it was, man, I'm telling you it what. I've 417 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: never experienced anything like it since. It was just just 418 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: to just to see that many brothers from all different 419 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: walks of life, and everybody was supportive. Everybody was brotherly. 420 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: We it was so tight on the mall that you 421 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 1: couldn't even get out to go to the restaurom. But 422 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: the brothers and if you had to use the restaurroom, 423 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: just raise your hand. They would pick you up and 424 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: carry you one at a time, passing you. I'm talking 425 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: about a half a mile to get you to the 426 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: outside so you can get to the restaroom. And when 427 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: you came back, they would get you back in among 428 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: the among the ranks. It was. It was a glimpse 429 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: of heaven again. We could but we shouldn't. We shouldn't. 430 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: Why not, because the the purpose of a march is 431 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: to create a movement, because if if a march just 432 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: leads to another march, then the march failed. A march's 433 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: supposed to be at time we get together to highlight, strategize, 434 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: plan our work, and then go out and work our plan. 435 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: So the goal of the minister that God gave him 436 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: was never to have a march for the sake of stomping. 437 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: It was to have a march to produce a movement. 438 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: And that ever since that day, they've been working hard 439 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: to make sure that the march principles don't become a 440 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: movement in our lives. We won, though we've got some 441 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: victories in it. You know, after the Million Maare March, 442 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: there was nearly two million new black registered voters because 443 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: that's what we said to do. After the Million Maare March, 444 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: the ranks of the NAACP urbanly Black organization swelled because 445 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: that's what the minister asked. He didn't tell everybody, when 446 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: y'all leave, go to the mosque, join the nation. He said, 447 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: when you leave, join a black organization of your choice 448 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: that you think is doing something that you have an 449 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: affinity for mm hmm. During the time in ninety five, 450 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: there was on the roads over eight hundred thousand black 451 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: children that were in need of adoption, and we struggling. 452 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: We weren't adopting them. After that next year, between ninety 453 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: five and ninety six, nearly a million black children were 454 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: adopted because it was said to do so. So it had, 455 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, a great impact, and I think I think 456 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: that we need movement, not necessarily march. 457 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 4: Now, did you ever feel like a contradiction inside of 458 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: Islam any time? 459 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: No, sir, I'm not a I mean not only only 460 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: only a lack of understanding, Okay. So I would always 461 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: ask questions because if it don't make sense, I need 462 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: I need to it has to make sense. 463 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 4: So when you ask the question, did you ever get answers? 464 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: They would always tell me, look here, boy, don't you 465 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: question God? But I wouldn't question in God. I was 466 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: quoting in my Sunday school teacher and Deacon Johnson and 467 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: my grandmoma and then but they wouldn't answer the questions. 468 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 4: Do you think they just don't ask the question? Couse, 469 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 4: they don't know, they don't know. 470 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: So so there's a difference between having faith and having 471 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: blind faith. And most people have blind faith. They just 472 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: believe it because it was told to them to believe it. 473 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: It's a hand me down religion. I was reading a 474 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: story about a man who had a wife who prepared 475 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: food a certain kind of way. She would take a 476 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: steak and cut off the front and end of it, 477 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: and they asked she had she had. The husband asked it, 478 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: why do you cut off both ends of the state. 479 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: She said, I don't know. That's that's the way my 480 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: mother always did it. That's why I do it. Then 481 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: they said, well, let's call her. Why do you do it? 482 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't know my mother did. They called their grandmother Grandma. 483 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: Why did you cut the two ends off? She said, oh, baby, 484 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: I used to do that because my pan was too short. 485 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: We had. That's a hand me down practice, and unfortunately 486 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: we gotta hand me down religion. So even even while 487 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: I'm asking I want to know, how does a ghost 488 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: get a woman pregnant? I want to know how do 489 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: you die and go? So I need to know. Explain 490 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: it to me. I wasn't trying to disbelieve. I was 491 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to have some knowledge to base my faith on. 492 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: Paul said, this in the Bible. He said, prove all things, 493 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: and hold faster that which is good. So if I 494 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: can't prove it, I can't call it good. And if 495 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: I can't call it good, I can't hold. 496 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 4: On to it. 497 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: So I'm asking questions. And they said, you know, you 498 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: just got to have faith, you just got to believe. Boy, 499 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: don't you question God? But Jesus said, ask and you 500 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: shall receive, Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the 501 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: door shall be opened under you if you take the 502 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: three words he said, do, ask, seek, and knock. And 503 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: the first letter of each one of them is ask. 504 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: It still spells ask again. So who said the question? 505 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 4: God? 506 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: You suppose the question? Ask questions? So when I came 507 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: into the nation, I was getting answers. And I'm be honest. 508 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: I said to myself at seventeen. From the outside, look 509 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: at it, I say, Man, this life look a little 510 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: too too much discipline, and that I don't think i'mna 511 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: be the You know, I can do some of it, 512 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't think i'm gonna be to be all the way. 513 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: And I said, well, if I can prove it wrong, 514 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: I leave it alone. But if I can't, I'm gonna 515 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: commit my life to it. I would be studying back 516 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: then there wasn't no internet. This is ninety three. I'm 517 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: at the library, six seven, eight hours stacking. I come 518 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: talk to one little regular brother bro. I look, I 519 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: found out so far and so far, eight hours of study, 520 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: and in five minutes he would destroy my whole argument. 521 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: After that happened a few times, I said, well, I'll 522 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: put my word out there. If you can't prove it wrong, 523 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: you'll commit yourself one hundred percent to it. And I 524 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: can't say that I am one hundred percent, but I'm 525 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: striving to get there. And that uh, that's that's how 526 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: it landed, you know. So no contradiction. I tried to 527 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: have some exactly, I tried to their answers. So I 528 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: mean it was this is, you know, the teachings of 529 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: the honor Bieladje Muhammad are scripturally sound, scientifically based, and 530 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: agree with nature. So it's there's no aspect of what 531 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: he taught that I can't find evidence in history, Bible, Koran, mathematics, 532 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: and nature. 533 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 4: And it just feel. You can just feel too. You 534 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 4: can feel and you're not being tricked right. You can 535 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 4: feel like it's like before we here see taste, touch, smell, 536 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 4: our gut, tell us everything. Like you get this funny 537 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 4: feeling about certain things, and it can feel good or bad. 538 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying it, I'll hit you right 539 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 4: here first. 540 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: It's real. So they call it intuition. But but do 541 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: you think about this? Where do you go that you 542 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: have to pay tuition school, So you pay tuition at school, 543 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: So if you are learning from within, they call it 544 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: intuition because what exists everywhere is already in us. It 545 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: just has to be fed, nurtured and cultivated. So the 546 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: God lives within us, you know. The minister said this, 547 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: You know when we think about the God within. This 548 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: is what I loved about the teachings because I heard 549 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: the same thing at church, god within, but I didn't 550 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: know in my mind they left it like that. So 551 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm thinking that God within is a ghost inside of 552 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: my body. But the God within is it has ingredients 553 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: to it. The minister said that God within is your 554 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: will power. It's your will, your strength of will, and 555 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: it's buttressed supported by faith and knowledge, springs forth out 556 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: of love and is guided by love. So if you 557 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: unpack that, the God within is made up of four 558 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: ingredients will, power, faith, knowledge and love. If I feed love, 559 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: feed knowledge and faith and build my will, all of 560 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: that builds more God in me. And the more God 561 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: I build up in me, the more power I have 562 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: to face the circumstances of life to get things done. 563 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: So that kind of breakdown made it so, you know, 564 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: so simple. And the antibilijah Muhammad said that I wasn't 565 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: raised to complicate truth. I was raised to make the 566 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: truth so plain that a food couldn't even make a mistake. 567 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: What a blessing, you know. He the antibliged Mohammad only 568 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: went to the fourth grade but didn't make it out. 569 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: Think about that, a man that went to the fourth 570 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: grade but didn't even graduate from the fourth grade taught 571 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: the kind of wisdom that he was able to teach. 572 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: The question then becomes who taughty? 573 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Who taught God? Yeah? God 574 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 4: taught gave it to him. He ain't teaching, He just 575 00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: gave it to him. 576 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: So we think that for some reason, we think that 577 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: God lost his power after he did all that stuff 578 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: for the people in the past, and he don't care 579 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: nothing about black people in America. But based upon history 580 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: and scripture, there's a verse in Malacha three and six 581 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: that says that I am the Lord, I change it. 582 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: Not that mean God got a method. 583 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 4: What you think made people like believe the teachers of. 584 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: It was the same thing. It agreed with our nature. 585 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: It made sense, you know, Like I said, the first 586 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: time I'm reading, I'm reading something totally different than what 587 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: I've been trained. But my thought was, this is how 588 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: I've been believing all of my life. I just didn't 589 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: order to say it like this. Yep, it makes sense, 590 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: and then when you try it, you get results in 591 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: real time. So I started. I started practicing How They 592 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: Eat to Live before I joined the Nation. I was 593 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: sixteen years old, and I started eating one the other day 594 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: and I got off swine flesh. Then I said, I 595 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: read in How They Need to Live that they was 596 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: pumping beef with twenty one drugs that were harmful to 597 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: the human body. That was in nineteen ninety three. The 598 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: book is written in nineteen sixty five. I know they 599 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: ain't got better. So if it was twenty one drugs 600 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: back then, it might be two ten now. And I said, well, 601 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: if it's dope, and let me see if I can 602 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: stop eating it. And I was addicted. I was craving it. 603 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: I said I'm done, and then I went to chicken. 604 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: And then the results that you get by living according 605 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: to what He taught in real time provides you with 606 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: your own testimony. You know, it's one thing to be 607 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: able to say what God did four thousand years ago 608 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: for Moses, five thousand years ago for Abraham, two thousand 609 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: years ago for Paul, James and Matthew. But it's another 610 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: thing to say what God did for me yesterday personally. 611 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: And that's what I got from the teachings. And unfortunately, 612 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: we as a people, we have have missed God's gift, 613 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: two precious gifts that God gave us. That's the honor 614 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: of Elizh Muhammad and the honor them and that louse Phaka. 615 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: If we look at scripture, you will find that anytime 616 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: that the people are in a mess he always gives 617 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: them a messenger. When the people have problems, then a 618 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: prophet comes. Whenever people are at war with themselves, a 619 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: warner's raised from among them where there's a crisis than 620 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: Christ is. That's the way God always works, and we, 621 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: for some reason, because of our deeply rooted self hatred 622 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: we don't even think we're worthy of God doing something 623 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: for us. We don't say this, but you have During 624 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: a time of Moses, people in slavery, they got them 625 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: of Moses. Now you've got doing Abraham. They worshiping idols, 626 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: they got them Abraham. During the time of Noah, they 627 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: were fighting and killing each other, but God gave them 628 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: a Noah. In Sodom Mangomore, they had become freaks of 629 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: nature and a lot was given to them. In Arabia, 630 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: they had become alcoholics, disrespect us of their women, so 631 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: God gave him a Muhammed. Look at what happened in Palestine. 632 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: The people are blinded and stupid in superstition and ritual. 633 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: So here comes to Jesus to clear it all up. 634 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: How could God do that for them? But here we are. 635 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: We got all them conditions wrapped up in one, multiplied 636 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: by some new ones. And God can't give us somebody too. 637 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: So we believe that God didn't lose his power two 638 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: thousand years ago, four thousand years ago. He still got 639 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: the same power, and he love us the same way 640 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: he loved them. And he gave us these two to 641 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: give us a guidance and a teaching that will put 642 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: us back on top of civilization. 643 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 4: How do y'all pick the person or how do y'all 644 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 4: let the people pick the person from the nation that 645 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 4: tells the story or just be the speakers? How do 646 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 4: y'all pick that? 647 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: There's no real choices like that, It's just your work 648 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: and your commitment and the way that God navigates you. 649 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: So the thing that I have always loved about the 650 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: minister is that he believes in and the only this 651 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: the only group that believes in young people. I was. 652 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: I was made a minister when I was twenty. Think 653 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: about that, fresh out of high school. I was twenty 654 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 1: years old and the minister saw fit that I would 655 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: be a minister. And it wasn't based upon what he 656 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: heard me saying. It was based upon what he had 657 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: heard that I was doing. And as a result, you 658 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: know that that productivity in the nation is what gets 659 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: you up. 660 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 4: How y'all deal with haters? Like when somebody feels like 661 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 4: him was supposed to be the one I was supposed 662 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 4: to be Like, how y'all deal with haters? 663 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: Amoths, family well in envy and jealousy. Unfortunately that that's 664 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: the E and j we've been drinking as a people 665 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: for a long time. Crabs in the veryl bvintality, It don't. 666 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 4: How y'all weed it out though. 667 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: We have laws and rules.

We'll 671 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: get you ninety days out. So if you're thinking it, 672 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: if you're thinking it, the law can check you because 673 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: you don't want to be gone. But the other side 674 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: of it too, we're taught that you are not a 675 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: righteous person or Muslim until you want for your brother 676 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: what you want for yourself. So once you once you 677 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: think like that, if that's constantly on your mind, how 678 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: can I be envious of something you have become, or 679 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: you're doing, or you have. If I want for my 680 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: brother what I want for myself, whatever I want it, 681 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm just as happy to see you with 682 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: it as as if it was me with it. 683 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 4: It's like you'll implement implement a self chicken mechanism. So 684 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 4: you're gonna check yourself from your teachings. 685 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: Yep, because that and that's what happens. So there's certain 686 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: things knowledge you won't let you do. 687 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 4: What about renegade? Nigga niggas just renegade. 688 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You get you, you oust it. 689 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: We caught you, got you, so we put you out, 690 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: but we don't put you out forever. You know, you 691 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: come back and guess what, when you come back, we 692 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: want to interview to see whether or not you've learned 693 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: from your mistake. Have you learned that from your mistake? 694 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: Now if they come back talking about I ain't do 695 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: nothing wrong in the first place, all right, Well, well 696 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks and 697 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: see if you should and we try to reintegrate you 698 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: back into the community. There's a saying that that the 699 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: Big Mama used to have that one bad apple could 700 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: spoil the whole bunch. We had a basket of squash 701 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: and everything looked real good, but we didn't know it. 702 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: There was one squash somewhere down in the basket that 703 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: was rotten. Two days later we come back all of 704 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: them rotten. So the Honor Bi Lash Muhammed made this 705 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: statement to us. He said that I'm happier to see 706 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: a bad one go than a good one come, because 707 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: if that one bad one could mess up a whole lot. 708 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: So you know, we we try. And and then by 709 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: the fact that you and I we're trained into protocols 710 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: of self love and it makes you love your your brother, 711 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, and your sister as you love yourself. And 712 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: the minister said this too, He said that if if 713 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: you work to discover your gifts, skills and talents, you'll 714 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: never hate somebody else that has done the same thing. 715 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: See see your light shining gives me permission for me 716 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: to shine my own life. So I shouldn't get discouraged 717 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: to see you great. I should be inspired by it. 718 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: And you know that that's how it used to be, 719 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: Big Bank, but dj that's how it used to be 720 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: back back in the day. My grandparents said that one 721 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: ever they had no TV, they had radios, they'd be 722 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: on the porch. Let Joe Lewis be fighting. Every black 723 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: person was rooting for everybody black. Let Jesse Owens be wrong. 724 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: It wasn't. It wasn't what we was for everybody black. 725 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: And at that time, we had a greater affinity for 726 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: black excellence wherever we found it, not because we thought 727 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: that we was getting ready to get into a boxing ring, 728 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: or we was getting ready to get into the Olympics 729 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: and run track. But your light shine and give me 730 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: permission to let mine shine. 731 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 4: It's possible to be great. 732 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, excellence exactly. Manifestation of greatness is a sign that 733 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: if you can do that in that arena, if I 734 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: put myself and apply myself with the fight, drive, focus 735 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: and discipline you did in what I'm boring for, I 736 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: can be the Jesse Owens of engineering, and I can 737 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: be the Joe Lewis of architecture, because that's what I'm 738 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing. So that mentality has to return 739 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: where we we actually are inspired by what we see 740 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: instead of being being a hater. You know, I have 741 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: an acronym for hating is hating everyone or hating all 742 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: people that are excelling or doing something or great. I 743 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: came about saying, but it's it's it's you should never 744 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: You should never see someone up and want to pull 745 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: them down. You should see someone up as a sign 746 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: that I can climb to. 747 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 4: What's the difference between being like a Muslim and a 748 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 4: part of the nation. What's the difference? 749 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: Well, you know, all of us are Muslims. But just 750 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: like you have. Unfortunately inside of Christianity people that have 751 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: divided up the faith into different denominations. They don't call 752 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: them that. In Islam, they call them sex schools of thought. 753 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: But you've got different people with different schools of thought, 754 00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: different sex, if you will. So in the nation, we 755 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: don't call ourselves by any label or denomination. We're called 756 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: the nation of Islam. That is, that is something rooted 757 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: in the Holy of Koran. In the second chapter, Abraham 758 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: was making a prayer. He said, and you know, whatever 759 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: faith you're a part of, you consider to be Abraham 760 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: to be the father of your faith. Jews, Christians, and 761 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: Muslims say Abraham is the father of the righteous. Well, 762 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: in the Qoran, Abraham is making a prayer. He's raising 763 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: the foundations of the house. And then he says to Allah, 764 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: raised from our my offspring, our offspring, me and Ishmail, 765 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: raised from our offspring, a nation submissive to THEE, submissive 766 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: to THEE, submissive to God. So Islam means submission to God. 767 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: So what is Abraham saying, raised from my seed, a 768 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: nation of Islam. Well, Abraham wasn't white. He's a black man. 769 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: If he wasn't. Then, why when he was in Egypt 770 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: did they think he was an Egyptian. In the scripture, 771 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: when Abraham went to Egypt with Sarah, they thought both 772 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: of them were Egyptians. Well, Egypt is not in Europe 773 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: as in Africa. Egypt in Greek is ieptus. It means 774 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: land of black and burnt skinned people. So if they 775 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: thought Abraham was an Egyptian five thousand years ago, he 776 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 1: had to have black burnt skin. So the seed of 777 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: a black man is going to be black people. So 778 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: from that seed you have black people in the West 779 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: that was as Genesis fifteen thirteen says that would be 780 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: made slaves for four hundred years. Seed of Abraham black people. 781 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: Nation of Islam, So we don't prescribe to a school 782 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: of thought or a sec of denomination. We are the 783 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: nation of Islam, and we accept all of the brothers 784 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: as our brothers. But we don't stop with just saying 785 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: Kuran and Hadith. We say God gave us a law 786 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: or a lah, gave us Mohammad. He gave us the 787 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: Holy Koran as our final revelation. But he promises that 788 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: there would be a messiah that would have to come 789 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: and teach the meaning of it, and we believe that 790 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: he did so with Master Fred Muhammad, the Hoanna Elijah Muhammad. 791 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: Now today with the Minister the giving us the top 792 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: sear or explanation that we can practically apply it better 793 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: in real time. So we we don't make distinctions among them. 794 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: They might try to, but we don't. We consider you. 795 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,720 Speaker 1: You say you are, then you you are a brother 796 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: in faith. But that's that's our our little separation. Again, 797 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: they say anything else. 798 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 4: So what's the Yeah, what's the what would a person 799 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 4: have to have or what would you'll have to see 800 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 4: on the person? Be like, okay, yeah, he'll be good. 801 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 4: He could be with us. 802 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: We we believe every last one has the same potential. 803 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: So so there's a there's a scripture that I mentioned 804 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: earlier that I wish that the reverend would teach you sometimes. 805 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: Psalms A two verse six says, year are all gods 806 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 1: children of the Most High God. There's no brother of 807 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: the original family, no sister of the original family that 808 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: is not born with the potential to become a god. 809 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: So we don't think that this is a good candidate 810 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: in this That's how fraternities and sororities do they want 811 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: to find the best that they can pull in. We 812 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: believe that we can take the worst and make them 813 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: into the best. We can take the engineer and make 814 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: him into the better teaching. Yeah, so, and guess what 815 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: the honiblage Mama said. He said, my best followers are 816 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: in the streets. In the streets. It's not just a location, 817 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,240 Speaker 1: it's a mentality. See what happens when you in the streets, 818 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:02,720 Speaker 1: in the streets, you hustling, and the streets but hustling. 819 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 5: What is that? 820 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: The dope man has the right program, He just got 821 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: the wrong product. Facts, ain't nothing wrong with buying wholesale 822 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: selling retail. Ain't nothing wrong with getting enough of a 823 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: supply that you can give it to the people you 824 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 1: love the most for a lower rate and create you 825 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: a downline and the sales team. There's nothing wrong with that. 826 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: It's just the wrong product. Best followers in the streets. 827 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 1: In the streets is where people are that are soldiers 828 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: that might be killing for nothing.

We're not going out there 835 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 1: trying to be a fraternity or sorority and grab a 836 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: engineer or a doctor or a chemist and just say come, 837 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: we want them too. But give us the brother that 838 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: you consider to be the one that's the worst, and 839 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,479 Speaker 1: we'll prove that he's probably the best. 840 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 4: Do you think it's like like like Min's faircund Do 841 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 4: you think it's one of those guys out there roam 842 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 4: and he just don't know him yet? 843 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: Well, there will never be another him. 844 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 4: Not him exactly. With those with that type of can 845 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 4: have that type of yeah impact impact. 846 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know that the. 847 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 4: People are like that too. There will never be another him. 848 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: He's He's the one and only him. Yeah, but but 849 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: there can be those that follow the far contemplate and 850 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 1: become great in what they're supposed to be great in. 851 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 4: What about haw the same like influence and impact you 852 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 4: think that could ever happen again? 853 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 1: The job of any student is to stand on the 854 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 1: shoulders of his teacher facts and take what the teacher 855 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: represented to the next level. So any of us that 856 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 1: are saying we love, admire and are his students. We 857 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: should be trying to take everything he put out there 858 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: and make it bond. I agree when he says a 859 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: b we're supposed to be the ad squad to make 860 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 1: it into an eve and take it to the next level. 861 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: So that's that's the assignment. Unfortunately, most of the the 862 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: brothers that that you see that are out in the 863 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: streets like they are, these are brothers that had potential 864 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: that the enemy worked on to make sure that they 865 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 1: didn't rise. So you you don't have the chief Malics incarcerated. 866 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: You don't have the Larry Hoover's locked up because of 867 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: the crimes they committed. You have them they're they're incarcerated 868 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: because of the influence that they have. So they find 869 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 1: a way. If they see that you're manifesting greatness, they 870 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: figure out a way to entrap you and have you 871 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: locked up forever so that you don't have that sway 872 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: and influence. It's no coincidence that there was a counterintelligence 873 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: program by Jay Egger Hoover and at the top Principles 874 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: five points. Top one says that his job, his goal 875 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: was to prevent the rise of a black messiah. Think 876 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: about that, and what would he do? He said he 877 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: could unify and electrify the masses of the people. So 878 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: anytime that they see greatness on the horizon or someone 879 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: that has that far Khan demeanor, far Khan influence, far 880 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 1: con Way per se, they tap them and find a 881 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: way to get them off off the scene. And if 882 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 1: they cannot assassinate the character of the person, then that 883 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: character becomes assassinated. 884 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 4: Damn, damn. So what would make the nation want smoke? 885 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 4: Like if they do what what's the wrong thing they 886 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 4: can do to y'all to make y'all just black? 887 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: Well, we you know we're never the aggression. 888 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 4: I'm saying, what will make you the aggression? The aggression 889 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 4: would make y'all get aggressive. 890 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 1: So we don't fight with anyone unless they fight with us. 891 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: But if we are aggressed upon, we fight with those 892 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: who fight with us. And we're not fighting till the 893 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:20,439 Speaker 1: black eye or the busted lip. 894 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 4: No words can do it, like nobody can say. 895 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: You can't say anything that's getting ready to make us 896 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: fight you with uh physical activity. So we we believe 897 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: that if you fight with words, we can fight with 898 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 1: a greater word. And and that's what we do. So 899 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: we don't you know, we don't. We don't raise our 900 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: hand if somebody else, don't raise the hand. But if 901 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, if it does, if it does go to 902 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: that point, we will lay hands on you now in 903 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: Jesus name, and you will be speaking. 904 00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 4: We will. I said, yeah, I got moving like this, man, 905 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 4: y'all you just inspired. When you y'all get putting, the said, yeah, 906 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 4: how you pull up? I ain't seen no raffle pull. 907 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 1: Up like that. Well, this is our brothers, man. We 908 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: we we look out for each other and we love 909 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: we love each other. And uh, you know, I feel 910 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: great and greatly honored that I never asked for. But 911 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 1: wherever we go, the brothers are making sure that everything's 912 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: locked down and secured. And when you teach a truth 913 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 1: that can resurrect the people, the enemy of that people 914 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: are just as mad at you as your people are 915 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: happy with you. So so you you know, we don't 916 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 1: go anywhere not understanding that conflict could arise. But we 917 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: don't we respectful to everyone. It's yes, ma'am, it's yes, sir. 918 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: We we we treat everyone, regardless to creed, class, or color, 919 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: with the same respect we want to be handled with. 920 00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: But if you know, you cross that line physically, then uh, 921 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, we obligated. 922 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 4: What's the biggest misconception of from the nation, But people think. 923 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: But the biggest misconception is that we don't believe in Jesus. 924 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 1: That's probably the biggest one that has been propagated and 925 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 1: that has been by the enemy because they know that 926 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: that black people we have been We have a we 927 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,800 Speaker 1: have an emotional relationship with Jesus, not necessarily an educational relationship. 928 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:30,240 Speaker 1: We we like to feeling sing about it, praising and worshiping. 929 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: But but that's not that's not the way that that 930 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 1: Jesus wanted us to operate Jesus right now he has 931 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: Jesus has too many fans and not enough followers. That's 932 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: the truth. People that celebrate praise clatform. But the difference 933 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 1: between a fan and a follower, a fancist and the 934 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 1: bleachers and watching somebody else play. But a follower puts 935 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 1: their foot in the same spot that the one that 936 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,240 Speaker 1: they're following was. So In imagery and art, the number 937 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,799 Speaker 1: one image for following is called the footprints in the sand. 938 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 1: You're supposed to put your foot wherever the one you're 939 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: following put his foot. So by having an emotional attachment 940 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 1: to Jesus as a people, soon as they can get 941 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,280 Speaker 1: you to say, you know, the Muslim they don't believe 942 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: in Jesus. That automatically disconnects them from wanting to listen 943 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: to what you have to say. But they don't tell 944 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 1: you that. We believe that he's our rock, our sword, 945 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: our shield. We believe in him. That there's a whole 946 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: chapter in the Holy Koran not just about Jesus, but 947 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: about the Mother of Jesus. And the Koran doesn't teach 948 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: the return of Muhammad, it teaches the return of Jesus. 949 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: So we believe in him. The difference, though, the difference 950 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 1: that they don't want to tell us, is we believe 951 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 1: in the right Christ, not a white Christ. We don't 952 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 1: believe in some buttermilk complexed brunette or blonde with blue 953 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: eyes as a Caucasian Christ. That is not what Jesus 954 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 1: looked like. Matter of fact, Bank there's a man or brother, 955 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:07,800 Speaker 1: doctor Dale Jones, that did a study on the effects 956 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 1: of lies on the black psychology, and they put black 957 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 1: people on a meter to measure brain activity to see 958 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: what lies had the most damaging effect, and when the 959 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: math was done, there's never been a lie told to 960 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,800 Speaker 1: a black mind that has been more destructive than that 961 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: Jesus was a white man. You know why, because what 962 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 1: happens is they say, your logic circus kicking, and. 963 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 4: That's that's that's how ultimate power. That color you go 964 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 4: looking at that, we're go to looking at this color 965 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 4: that's amongst us. Come on, it's like, that's pure, that's 966 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 4: God's that's God Like. 967 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: That's the math. That's the that's the math that goes 968 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: on in the mind. We don't say it out loud, 969 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 1: but we say, oh, wait, Jesus, Wait a minute, he's 970 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 1: the If Jesus is white and he's the son of God, logically, 971 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: then if he's the son of God and he's white 972 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,439 Speaker 1: and God is his father, then God must be white. 973 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 1: Wait a minute. If God is white and God is 974 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 1: love and God is good, Wait, but I'm black and 975 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,919 Speaker 1: black is the opposite of white. And if God is love, 976 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: God is good, and God is white, and I'm black, 977 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm the opposite of love, opposite of good. I'm the 978 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: opposite of God. So self hatred becomes justified, and we 979 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: don't say this out loud. But this is the kind 980 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 1: of self defeating monologue that goes on in our sub 981 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 1: conscious mind that has us turning on each other. So 982 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: that lie that we the Muslims don't believe in Jesus 983 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: is designed by the enemy to get our people that 984 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 1: have an emotional relationship when we need an educational one 985 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 1: to be able to shun listening to what we have 986 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,880 Speaker 1: to say and keeping them away from that route that 987 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: avenue God gave through the Honorabilijah Muhammad that would end 988 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,360 Speaker 1: up having salvation for us as a people. 989 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 4: Oh, so's the whole story of how Jesus came about. 990 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 4: Like y'all don't believe that. 991 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: Though not in the literal sense, but if you like 992 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: again I said the Bible. See there's a verse in Romans, 993 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 1: first chapter of Romans where Paul says concerning his son 994 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,240 Speaker 1: Jesus to Christ, who was the seed of David according 995 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: to the flesh, but declared to be the son of God. 996 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,439 Speaker 1: About the spirit of holiness. We don't believe that there 997 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: was some divine piece of wind or some ghosts that 998 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 1: came and got married pregnant. See See, if you're going 999 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 1: to prove all things and hold fast at that which 1000 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 1: is good. To prove something means you have to find 1001 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: material evidence in the present time. To verify something could 1002 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,799 Speaker 1: have happened in the past. Let your daughter come home 1003 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: and say, she I'm pregnant. Well, who's the father? I 1004 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 1: was walking past the church. Oh the divorce, the spirit 1005 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,280 Speaker 1: came upon me. It never happened. 1006 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 5: No, So. 1007 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,840 Speaker 1: Seed of David according to the what flesh, So the 1008 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,959 Speaker 1: body of Jesus came from a human being. How could 1009 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: Mary have been the only human being involved in the 1010 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 1: creation of Jesus. Women have just a double X chromosome. 1011 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: Man have X and Y chromosome. So a spirit with 1012 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,600 Speaker 1: a woman could only produce a female if an X 1013 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 1: and Y. If a boy is born, a man had 1014 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 1: to be involved because the Y chromosome had to be there. 1015 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 1: When you do the lineage in Luke and Matthew of 1016 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: the Seed of David, and you get downed on the 1017 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,480 Speaker 1: time of Jesus, Mary's not in there. But Joseph is. 1018 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: See Joseph is the biological father seed of David according 1019 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: to flesh. But Joseph and Mary didn't make Jesus Christ. 1020 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: It was God that worked with his mind that made 1021 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 1: him what he was. So the mind of Christ comes 1022 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 1: from the spirit of God, but the body comes from 1023 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: Joseph and Mary. 1024 00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 4: Oh that makes sense. 1025 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: It didn't look you know, they say, if you if 1026 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 1: you want Jesus to say it's in. 1027 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 4: Red writing, No, that makes sense. 1028 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: But you flipp it. He says, I am of the 1029 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: root of Jesse and the seed of David. That's what 1030 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: Jesus says. Now if Mary wasn't said like all. 1031 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 4: This, when they be saying, said, who heard him say it? 1032 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 5: Like? 1033 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,120 Speaker 1: Who, where's the proof that he actually said? Well, of 1034 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: course you these are the witnesses you have. You have Matthew, Mark, 1035 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 1: Luke John, all the disciples were present, they say, and 1036 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 1: then the four Matthew, Mark, Luke John, they are the 1037 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: ones that did the recording and gave us what what 1038 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,320 Speaker 1: they they said that they've seen or that he said. 1039 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I never knew that. Yeah. 1040 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 1: So that's that's there their recollection. Unfortunately, I don't want 1041 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: to mess it all up for everybody, but. 1042 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 4: I'm gonna put a story by screen put on it. 1043 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that but I mean that's what they are 1044 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: a little different. Each story is a little different. How 1045 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: can I say that? How can I say this problem 1046 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: put it out there first, the minister said that the 1047 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: Bible is the road map to our salvation if it's 1048 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 1: properly understood. Okay, So there's truth in it that just 1049 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 1: has to be unpacked properly, and it can be that 1050 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: road map to get us where we need to go. However, 1051 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 1: if you look at the first page of the Bible, 1052 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 1: it says this is the authorized King James version that 1053 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: was diligently compared and revised and translated from former translations. 1054 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 1: So if when we was in kindergarten we played the 1055 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: game Telephone, that's where translations come from. You can't keep 1056 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,040 Speaker 1: something the same. Paul said that I that I see 1057 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 1: in part therefore a prophesy in part you're never gonna 1058 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: hear things and pass it on exactly accurate. So we 1059 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: would be inside the circle at five years of age, 1060 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: and the sand would have been a red dog jumped 1061 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: over a blue moon on a Thursday. By the time 1062 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: that thing made it through, seventeen little children ear to 1063 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 1: ear it be Pooky got shot on thirty third Street 1064 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: and his mama found him out there without his shoes 1065 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 1: on it just and we say got lost in translation. 1066 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: So when you take translations from former translation that automatically 1067 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 1: changes it. Then listen to what he said. It was 1068 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: diligently compared and then revised. The word revised means to 1069 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: alter or change from original form. 1070 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 4: But who gave King James the authority exactly? 1071 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 1: That's another question. So this is the math. Do you 1072 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 1: know that in sixteen eleven King James when he translated 1073 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 1: the Bible, do you know it took him seventy years 1074 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 1: to do it and he had fifty four people helping him. 1075 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: You telling me that all you doing is taking a 1076 01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: book out of two languages and putting it in the 1077 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 1: one on and it takes fifty four people seventy years to. 1078 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 4: Do that fifty four white people, Yes it was, but fifty. 1079 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 1: Four people, so it should have took you seven minutes. 1080 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 1: The fact it took seven years show something. 1081 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 4: Different, remix stretching it. 1082 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 1: So one of one of his translators that wasn't allowed 1083 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: to be put in the book because at the time 1084 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 1: it was not accepted in the public for homosexuality, was 1085 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: his boat boyfriend William Shakespeare. 1086 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 4: So Shakespeare and King Jane doing his buddies, but buddies 1087 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 4: in the yeah, too close so how are you right 1088 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 4: the bib about that? 1089 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 1: So he ain't. He didn't get credit for helping the 1090 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: translate it, so he tried. He added his name in there. 1091 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: So down Shakespeare. So you go to on his forty 1092 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 1: six birthday, You're going to forty six. Watch this. Indeed, 1093 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 1: go to Psalms forty six and you count forty six 1094 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 1: words down in the word shake appears. Go to the 1095 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 1: bottom of Psalms forty six and you count forty six 1096 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:01,440 Speaker 1: words up in the worst spirit appears. 1097 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 4: So they gotta read. 1098 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 1: At all and and think about it. Right here, boo 1099 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: name in the Bible kad has kind of I mean 1100 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 1: he has, but it's still enough truth. It's still enough truth. 1101 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: So the Honiblaje Mama said, we believe in the truth 1102 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: of the Bible, but we believe that it must be 1103 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: reinterpreted so the man in mankind will not be snared 1104 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,400 Speaker 1: by the many falsehoods that have been added to it. 1105 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 5: But in the court of law, when you raise a 1106 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 5: reasonable doubt, you're not guilty, right you just you just 1107 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 5: answered that once you get doubt, how can I. 1108 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 4: Believe anything you said? If if if if if if 1109 01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 4: if I come in the house and my mama asked 1110 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 4: me why I was and I say, I was at school, 1111 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 4: but she know I was at the playground. Nothing else, 1112 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 4: I say, I'm still gonna add with it. 1113 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 1: But so, so what happens in court though you have 1114 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 1: to bring a witness. You have to have witnesses to 1115 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: verify something is what it's supposed to be. So what 1116 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: happens when the Holy Koran? The Holy Koran becomes a 1117 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 1: book that becomes a witness bearer to help what should 1118 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 1: be said in the scripture. And in addition to that, 1119 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: when God gives us a messenger, now he has the 1120 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 1: ability see see. Messengers of God have three sites. When 1121 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 1: we only got two regular people. We can see hindsight, 1122 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 1: back in the back, back, insight, present. But a messenger 1123 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 1: of God is given a third site. They're given foresight. 1124 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: So when you have foresight, you can see in the future. 1125 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 1: But when you when a messenger is raised, one of 1126 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 1: the things that he does, he's given what's called a revelation. 1127 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 1: Revelation is new knowledge, but also it means to expose 1128 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: or unpack or make known what has been hidden. So 1129 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 1: if you say that a woman has on a revealing dress, 1130 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 1: whatever is being shown was always there, you just couldn't 1131 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: see it because it was covered. So it is with 1132 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 1: the scripture. So there there's scriptures in the Bible that 1133 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: needed to be revealed. So what God did, He said, here, 1134 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: I'll give you a man, here's Elijah, here's here's far Come. 1135 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Let them show you what the meaning of that is. 1136 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Practice it and see if it doesn't bear you fruit. 1137 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 1: So we got the reinterpretation, but it's it's you know, 1138 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: the Bible originally had eleven thousand, two hundred and eighty 1139 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 1: words in it, I mean different words down it's only 1140 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: six thousand. So you know that if you want to 1141 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 1: get an understanding, you go to a dictionary, you take 1142 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: a word, look up more words. So understanding always comes 1143 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,479 Speaker 1: when you go from less to more. So if less 1144 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 1: to more produces understanding. If you got eleven thousand, two 1145 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty words and it gets reduced to six thousand, 1146 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 1: then going from more to less produces misunderstanding. So we 1147 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 1: have a misunderstanding. But that's why it has to be reinterpreted. 1148 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: And what we've been given in that book mess to 1149 01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 1: the Black Man, we talked about there's a b in 1150 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,080 Speaker 1: the back of it. There's a section called God to 1151 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 1: understanding the Bible, guide to understand the Holy Koran. And 1152 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: what you do is you read the verse, then you 1153 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: turn to the page. The Honabilajahama breaks it down. But 1154 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: what he's doing he's given you what different symbols in 1155 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 1: the scripture mean, so you'll be able to pick the 1156 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: book up later on and you read about a heel 1157 01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: or a mountain or a certain animal, and you'll remember 1158 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: what he said that meant. And now you can properly 1159 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 1: interpret the rest of it, even though he didn't personally 1160 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,320 Speaker 1: break that one down. Does that makes sense? Give me 1161 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 1: kind of like a like a formula. 1162 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 3: Now, I was saying, you kind of answered your own 1163 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,760 Speaker 3: question though, like you said earlier, when you see something, 1164 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 3: hear something, whatever, you trust your gut, right, So that's 1165 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,720 Speaker 3: what I was saying. When I'm reading the Bible, I'm 1166 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 3: be honest. Some of it I'm just like, okay, my gut, 1167 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 3: I'm skipping past this part of it. You do know 1168 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But I might get into songs or 1169 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 3: something like that and it might feel good in my gut. 1170 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 3: So you kind of answered, well, it's in two you know, 1171 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 3: it's the. 1172 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they wrote it in a way that you 1173 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,920 Speaker 1: get caught up in the hither thou go offrom the 1174 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: whether thou come from the thus? Say if by the 1175 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,920 Speaker 1: time you get finished with all that, you confused exactly so? 1176 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 3: So so what what? 1177 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 1: What we? What mamma did? He's breaking it down in 1178 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: the layman term, playing terms and showing you not how 1179 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 1: to find a then and a there or or them 1180 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,200 Speaker 1: and are there? But I want you to see the 1181 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: here and the now, and I want you to see yourself. 1182 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 1: See the first person. If I took a picture of 1183 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: the room right now, the first person you're gonna look 1184 01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 1: for is yourself. So it is with history, so it 1185 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 1: is you can't show me. I know I was there. 1186 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 1: If you're showing me this and I don't see myself, man, 1187 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:43,720 Speaker 1: I was there. This pictures fate. So when you can't 1188 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 1: find yourself and now and all you can think about 1189 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,440 Speaker 1: is some them and some there, then the book becomes 1190 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 1: irrelevant to you. That God gave the mament. He allows 1191 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: us to see the now and the self, and you 1192 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 1: can see where you can use it as a guide 1193 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: in life for your footsteps. 1194 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 4: Your nations support Trump. 1195 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 1: We don't support any politician or ruler of this world 1196 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 1: as it stands. 1197 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 4: You said, we don't, we do not. 1198 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 1: We don't, we don't. We don't get into politics like that. 1199 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 1: Now you can. You can extract from any political party. 1200 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 1: You might be able to find principles that we agree with. 1201 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: But you know, the scripture says this in Isaiah, that 1202 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 1: that there will be one that would come and he 1203 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 1: would have a government on his shoulders. He'd be called 1204 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 1: wonderful counselor Mighty God, princip Peace, everlasting Father end up 1205 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,440 Speaker 1: on the establishment of his government, a piece that should 1206 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 1: be no end. So we don't look to the political 1207 01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: for for the guide or leadership in the world. We 1208 01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 1: look to the spiritual. And government on your shoulders doesn't 1209 01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: mean that somebody's literally carrying around business buildings. It means 1210 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 1: what's on your shoulders is your head. So there is 1211 01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: a servant of God that has the government of God 1212 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 1: in his mind. I believe that that man that fulfills 1213 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 1: that would be the minister. He has the government of 1214 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,559 Speaker 1: God in his mind, and so we he's our teacher 1215 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 1: and our leader. They gonna do what they gonna do 1216 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: and be who they're gonna be. So we move, We 1217 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 1: move according to divine guidance, not political positions. 1218 01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 4: So can can can summon a political position hinder the 1219 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:37,720 Speaker 4: hinder the nature. 1220 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Of course, I mean they can create a stumbling block, 1221 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 1: you know. But what does the scripture says. It says 1222 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:49,839 Speaker 1: no weapons formed against the righteous shall prosper. They'll be formed, 1223 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 1: but but they won't prosper with God before you. Who 1224 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 1: can be against you? Anybody and everybody. But it's a 1225 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,519 Speaker 1: waste of their time. So at the end of the day, 1226 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, y'all vote that we do vote, but we 1227 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:06,320 Speaker 1: don't get into that jumping into the curtain, pulling the 1228 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,080 Speaker 1: curtain and just pulling one level for everybody. You know, 1229 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,840 Speaker 1: if you know somebody that you've talked to, interviewed and 1230 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 1: you think that they operate under the principles and are 1231 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 1: good for you and your people in your community, then 1232 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: you pull that leverl for that person. But we don't 1233 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 1: go in there and just say I'm Democrat, I'm this you. No, 1234 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,240 Speaker 1: you selectively can pick you know, your people that you 1235 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 1: that you want to vote for. But that's that's kind 1236 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: of the way we operate. But we have never You've 1237 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 1: never seen the minister come out and say I'm endorsing 1238 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,559 Speaker 1: a political person. At the end of the day, all 1239 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 1: of them Pharaoh. They're Pharaoh on the Bible. They're a 1240 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 1: better ruler of Egypt, the land of bondage, and we 1241 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 1: are the real children of Israel. So I'm voting for 1242 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 1: Moses young have Pharaoh. 1243 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 4: You think it's impossible for somebody like the minister or 1244 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,759 Speaker 4: somebody from the nation become like a president. 1245 01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 1: The minister could if you wanted to be that, but 1246 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 1: it would be such a diminishing title. It would reduce 1247 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 1: him to be the president, to be the president of 1248 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: the instead of that. It's hustling backrus So. So the minister, 1249 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, he he's the servants of God have never 1250 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:27,640 Speaker 1: been ah kings perceived, They've been king makers. So his 1251 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 1: position is thus, say, of the Lord, you can't be 1252 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 1: in the politics voting for And. 1253 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 4: Do you think he can advisee advised somebody from the 1254 01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 4: nation as a president like y'all could pick somebody and 1255 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 4: be like, okay, this good this, this guy is good 1256 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,880 Speaker 4: for that, and let the minister like, I. 1257 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Mean, he has done that for we have we have 1258 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters that are in political offices all over 1259 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 1: the country, and of course they are they seek guidance 1260 01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,680 Speaker 1: in the council from me. But to put somebody up 1261 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: there to run for pharaoh of think about that, I 1262 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 1: want you to be your pharaoh. That God getting ready 1263 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 1: to destroy you and your people, so go go be naw. 1264 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 1: So it's just not a good job. It's not a 1265 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,000 Speaker 1: good job to have to be pharaoh. So I don't 1266 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: see that. I don't see that, but he does. Like 1267 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 1: I said, we do have local politicians that are in 1268 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 1: the nation that we have a mayor that's in the nation. 1269 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:27,560 Speaker 4: We have. 1270 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 1: We have politicians that get a counsel and advice, but 1271 01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 1: not you know, you know, we don't. We don't. We 1272 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,639 Speaker 1: don't get involved. You can't say that I'm getting ready 1273 01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 1: to be loyal to a party and the parties not 1274 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,960 Speaker 1: loyal to your principles. So we don't. We don't operate 1275 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: like that. 1276 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 4: What's the before we get out of it? What's the 1277 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 4: main purpose of the nation? 1278 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 1: You think the main purpose it is the resurrection of 1279 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,800 Speaker 1: the people of the planet, starting with the resurrection of 1280 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 1: the so called American Nigua black people in America. We 1281 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 1: believe that what we've gone through, the four hundred years 1282 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: of slavery, suffering, and death six thousand years of hell 1283 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,719 Speaker 1: under Satan, fifty thousand years of life in the jungle, 1284 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 1: sixty six trillion years absent the wisdom of God. We 1285 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 1: have been conditioned and constitutionally fit not just to be 1286 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,000 Speaker 1: citizens of the New World, but the rulers of the 1287 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,840 Speaker 1: New World. So our assignment is to get our people 1288 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 1: up back to God and to become a perfect reflection 1289 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 1: of God, that we can be the new perfect people, 1290 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 1: new perfect rulers, and inspire the whole planet, to bring 1291 01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 1: the whole planet back into harmony and balance with the 1292 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: will of God and make it the Kingdom of God 1293 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,719 Speaker 1: everywhere you look.
