I would like to clarify some things that refer to me personally -- concerning my own personal position.
I'm still a Muslim. That is, my religion is still Islam. My religion is still Islam. I still credit Mr. Mohammed for what I know and what I am.
I’m a Muslim minister. And I don’t believe in fighting today in any one front, but on all fronts. In fact, I’m a "Black Nationalist Freedom Fighter."
The political philosophy of Black Nationalism only means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community. The -- The time -- The time when white people can come in our community and get us to vote for them so that they can be our political leaders and tell us what to do and what not to do is long gone.
Twenty-two million black victims of Americanism are waking up and they’re gaining a new political consciousness, becoming politically mature. And as they become -- develop this political maturity, they’re able to see the recent trends in these political elections. They see that the whites are so evenly divided that every time they vote the race is so close they have to go back and count the votes all over again. And that...which means that any block, any minority that has a block of votes that stick together is in a strategic position. Either way you go, that’s who gets it. You’re -- You're in a position to determine who will go to the White House and who will stay in the dog house.
A revolution is bloody, but America is in a unique position. She’s the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a blood-less revolution... All she’s got to do is give the black man in this country everything that’s due him -- everything.
Oh, I have no doubt Malcom X was a mentor and an intellectual influence. But that’s a far cry from a secret father.
“All she’s got to do is give the black man in this country everything that’s due him — everything.”
He has everything that’s due him—the opportunities inherent to an individual living in a free republic and a free market. Ironically, these “dues” are at more risk of being abolished with each incremental advance of leftist ideology.
To anyone who doesn’t understand this concept, I say you better take a while to think about it.
