Thoughts on the honorable elijah muhammad

[Bootzilla]

i think without him there would be no Malcom x and certainly no farrahkhan no khalid muhammad prob no black panthers but on the other end his affairs were hypocritical. So what is the coli thoughts on the honorable?

 

[Keepya onya toes]

To have spoken his thoughts and teach a doctrine that was so controversial in a time like that was unimaginable

The guts, determination

Most people wouldn't say that stuff now, and the world ain't half as hostile.

If we can forgive MJ a singer and dancer for his indiscretions, I don't see why the honourable Elijah Muhammad keeps having his thrown in his face.

He's an example of how we do ourselves a disservice by deifying our leaders which just sets them up to be taken down and sabotaged from within the community. He obviously pepertuated this himself tho.

His affairs with younger women shouldn't have taken away from overall message/ideology.

Unlike today's mentality, he wasn't waiting for the climax of white supremacy in order to build institutions
for our people.

He was a hustler and instigated the demise of Malcolm X


So...



And the Black Panthers did not take after the NOI...

The Black Panthers took after Malcolm X, Castro, Che and Mao...

no elijah. No Malcom

I think he was the fanatic leader of a cult.

no elijah. No Malcom

Malcolm X was a charismatic, intelligent man. The NOI didn't make him, he made the NOI. They would have never had the power or reach that they had if his voice wasn't at the helm. He would have been great without that cult.

I don't care about how pro Black they were/are, their belief system is absolutely insane. The fact that Malcolm X believed this at one point in time actually damages my respect for him a little bit.(neg me all you want)

lijah Muhammad once said that the Moon was once a part of the Earth, and that the Earth is over 76 trillion years old.[33] The entire land mass on the Earth was called "Asia". This was, Elijah Muhammad claimed, long before Adam.[34] Elijah Muhammad declared that Black People in America are descendants of the Asian black nation and of the tribe of Shabazz. He writes on page 31 of his book, "Message to the Blackman in America", "...who is this tribe of Shabazz? Originally, they were the tribe who came with the earth (or this part) 66 trillion years ago when a great explosion on our planet divided it into two parts. One we call earth and the other moon. This was done by one of our scientists, God, who wanted the people to speak one language, one dialect for all, but was unable to bring this about

Wallace Fard Muhammad taught that the original peoples of the world were black and that white people were a race of "devils" created by a scientist named Yakub (the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob) on the Greek island of Patmos. According to the supreme wisdom lessons, Fard taught that whites were devils because of a culture of lies and murder that Yakub instituted on the island to ensure the creation of his new people. Fard taught that Yakub established a secret eugenics policy among the ruling class on the island. They were to kill all dark babies at birth and lie to the parents about the child's fate. Further, they were to ensure that lighter-skinned children thrived in society. This policy encouraged a general preference for light skin. It was necessary to allow the process of grafting or making of a lighter-skinned race of people who would be different. The idea was that if the light-skinned people were allowed to mate freely with the dark-skinned people, the population would remain dark-skinned due to the genetic dominance of the original dark-skinned people. This process took approximately 600 years to produce a blond-haired, blue-eyed group of people.

MJ wasn't claiming to be a prophet or basing a religion around worshipping his every word. Quite a difference.

It's a cult with weirdo beliefs no offense...

 

[Critical Distance]

very problematic figure.

He had Malcom killed

This is embarrassingly foolish. Brothers and sisters, we need to study before we speak on things. I hope yall not out in public speaking like this.

He had Malcom killed

How so? What evidence do you have? This blanket statement is often reserved for Elijah and Farrakhan, and used to denigrate their efforts.

Malcolm X would've prolly been dead or in prison without the NOI, that structure and leadership was a critical part of his growth.
He just ended up outgrowing them
