Nation of Islam in the West Indies |
| Question: What do we mean when we say white or black? What constitutes a white person and what constitutes Black? What do we mean when we use the term Negro? In certain areas of the world, if you have a certain amount of black blood in you it makes you a Negro according to their classifications. In other areas of the world, a little white blood makes you white. How do we clearly define such relationships? How do we say whom we accept or don’t accept? Do we let these people in the Mosque? What do we teach them related to Islam? Answer: We can accept belief from anyone regardless to what color they may be if they believe. We can accept belief in them or on the merit of their belief but it does not mean we should house them under the same roof of our place of worship as an equal member with us. The reason for this is because we have been rejected by the societies of all colors of people and we have suffered wearing the shackles of slavery and abject ones amongst the Nations. Therefore Allah has chosen us to be his selected people and therefore making us a selected or elected people of His, He does not want us to mix with those who have rejected us until He has made us what He wants us to be. What He wants us to be is head and rule over them that have destroyed us as a ruling power and as an equal member of their society. Therefore Allah intends to make us now a better people and have a greater society and in the reverse reject them (those that have rejected us) for He will guide us, teach us of Himself, His wisdom and His wisdom is superior to any of the known rulers knowledge. So it is true that the Bible teaches that we are his elect because he wants to make a new people of nothing. We are the only people on earth that are rejected by all other civilized societies of the Nations of the earth. That means we are outcasts. Allah want to show the world how great and wise He is. Allah takes the outcast and teaches and trains the outcast to become the rulers of the rulers to fulfill the Bible wherein it says you are no longer the tail but now the head and in the stone that the builders reject: it only means a people that some civilization rejected and now He has made that people the Head. Now, to build a new Nation Allah uses these rejected people for his cornerstone. Question: Does this refer specifically to the Negro here in America? The West Indian for example, does this include them? They have come from the Islands and…………… Answer: West Indians are still our people only they were ruled under other than the American whiteman. They were ruled under the British but they are too drifters out of Africa. (This is taken from the Table Talks with our Beloved Messenger pages 5-6) |
