Louis Farrakhan Talks about How The Black Man Was Broken Down in Front of His Family
Min. Louis Farrakhan describes how slavery convinced black women to disrespect black men and how strong black men were trained to have weak minds. He says that this led to black women filling up the colleges and black men filling up the jails. Farrakhan argues that this issue affects black men and women to this day.
He also talks about how rap turned from conscious music to gangster rap, where killing black men, disrespecting women and Willie Lynch behavior became the norm in the black community. Farrakhan argues that this has accelerated the internal divides among African Americans that exist to this day.
Farrkhan: ”We are worse now as a people than we have ever, ever been.”

There is no one like him ,he speaks the truth,life has shown me all these things.The truth is harsh but real!
That man is brilliant isn’t he. IF all Black men with such power would speak the truth as he does, there would be no Toms on MSNBC, FOX and CNN, because the white owned media would not allow them on for any reason at all. Other than My Dad and Malcolm X, Minister Farrakhan is the only other Black man I can stand to listen to. I have never met this man personally, but I love the way he loves Black people. When a man loves, he tell the truth about the person, place or thing that he loves, and the Minister tells the truth of and about black people in America! Any mistakes he has made, should be forgiven him, because he is just a man, and though he is just a man, he towers over any man (black or white) in America, as far as knowing the truth of this Nations origins, and its future if we don’t change our sick and evil habit of racial division and hatred. Can’t help but love him!!!!!!
Minster Farrakhan I love him he bring true knowledge to the black community. In the parable Jesus said for the lack
of knowledge you will died. Minster Farrakhan is given that knowledge to the black community you either listern
or suffer for the lack of not listen.
Yes he does. The fact still remains that the bar is too low for black men.
HIV is synthetic. It has been developed over a number of years and it has an affinity for people of color. What the science and medical evidence concludes is that the HIV enzyme seeks out a receptor site in the blood of the Black genome. The receptor site is the CCR5 Delta 32+ (positive) gene that all people of color have. In the same sense, on the other end of the spectrum, is the 15 percent Caucasian population of the world, which is CCR5 Delta 32-(negative) gene. That means that under no circumstances, whether HIV came through the air, intravenous drug usage or any form of s****l activity, would the virus be transferable in Caucasian sector of the world’s population, which is basically of northern European descent.
It is speculated by some experts that, in a worse case scenario, 85 percent of the world’s population could potentially perish under these designer viruses and designer synthetic biological agents. What we’re looking at here—because of this identified gene of the Black genome, this CCR5 Delta32+ (positive)—we are potentially looking at the eradication of all people of color.The bible states “My people perish for lack of knowledge. The true devil doesn’t wear red tights, a cape with horns protruding from his forehead instead, the devil incarnate are diabolical Caucasian scientist (men and women) in white lab coats.
I totally respect Minister Farrakhan but the black man in most instances will not lead.
I also disagree with black women having babies without a partner (dooming black children) to poverty.
I believe the black race is so divided until “GAME OVER” for us. I have lost hope.
Willa, correction – Black women don’t have babies without a partner. They have a partner to produce the baby then the man leave. Note I dod’t say partner, because only a man and woman can produce a baby, even if it’s done in vitro – Now don’t start calling me honophobic, please……
It has nothing to do with the color of your skin stop using Black as an excuse for immorality. This is because of slavery that is a lot of BS this in 2012 and if you are still back in slavery you are a lost cause or you have found it profitable to play the racist game. For the sake of this argument White people and all others have the same problem. It is human to have s*x. Putting every thing in order in terms of conduct would prevent much of this promiscuous behavior.s*x is promoted and it is a money making device.
You are so right! Farrakhan is clear;he understands what’s going on in the world and he is able to make it plain. I also Love the Minister!
If it is true that they want to produce a baby than it is alright when the baby comes for both of them, but when there is no real love between them, than please protect yourself so the a baby is not born without the love of the parents.
How does a woman have a baby without a partner? It takes two to tango. Do you mean without a husband?
You don’t need a husband to make babies. It only takes two people a male and a female.
My Grand mother would say she was from West Africa,If a single woman does not want to have a Baby she should keep her legs crossed. If you get with child it is because the l**t for s*x over powered your better judgement. It is a choice you made. Men also have a responsibility but the burden fall on the woman. Having s*x without being married cause complication mostly for the female,you are the one that has to carry the child for 9 months not the man. If you are not prepared to us condom or the pill or any other device to stop pregnancy then a problem will be.. Then you should not consent to s*x. Unless a woman is raped or forced against her will and beaten then that is a different story.That is called rape. That is all we can say. Don’t put the blame on just the man he did it to me, you did it to yourself,if you put your self in that position,you did it to yourself and wanted it to happen you should know you are guilty. Don’t play around, if you don’t want to get pregnant.The man is a dog a stiff you no what has no conscience. So be it. Beware of intercourse before marriage. There is a heavy price to pay for a bad decision made for pleasurable gratification. In society today there is to much promiscuous behavior. Does somebody have a better way of dealing with this question.
Also beware having a child from a deadbeat. A deadbeat is a guy with no job. No car. No house. And mostbthe time no educatioand all the time no future.
It doesn’t matter if a woman is married or not when she gets pregnant. Married men leave their families and don’t pay child support. Unmarried men shirk their responsibilities and leave their children fatherless. Marriage is great when there is love and respect and honesty; It is Not a fix all.
You need God. Black people are having an unusually hard time in life because of Black people were born in America to slavery. Black people have progressed and will continue to progress as long as Black people stop putting themselves on the down trotten path. Black people are living some lavish lives and these lives are not projected by the media, and are not sort after information by the Black race in general. Black people need to forget about the recording industries and focus on their neighbors, their neighborhood, and neighboring neighborhoods. Do something for your neighbors that you want done for yourself. Do not covet your neighbor but see if there is something that you and your neighbor can do together that will make the neighborhood follow suit and cause progression in the neighborhood. Learn to live with yourself so that you may know how to live with others. Stop feeding negativity into the lives of the Black race and yourself.
I agree with your comment. It sems that God who has been the bridge that has and continues to sustain us is being put on the back shelf for materialism and man’s fame.
Your comment speaks volumes-TRUTH! I was raised on the South Side of Chicago, from the projects. I was a in a street gang and a gang leader. Last month I graduated from one of the top universities in the country with a master’s degree. I had been deemed as slow and most people probably thought I would not amount to anything much.
4 things contributed to my success:
1. A praying monther who kept reminding me of my greatness, and taught me about my African history
2. A teacher that believed and encouraged me.
3. Social Center at my school, i.e. skating, art, movies
4. A training program call CETA where I learned shorthand, typing and business english.
The rest is history. I never forget where I came from and am giving back to my community. Thanks again for your comment.
There are still some strong black men-my dad was one of them; he demanded total respect- 6’3″ 250 lbs of strength, walking the walk talking the talk. He best role model was Malcolm X. He taught me to be independent, and not to be afraid of anyone.
My Dad, Malcom x and Louis Farrakhan are the only men worth listening to in my life, because they all spoke and speak the truth, and they all did and do it because they love the human race, especially Black people in America. We have allowed the white racist to take away our identity, and we have no idea of who we are, or what we can and have accomplished in the world. We hate us almost as much as the racist hates us, and until we learn to love us, we will not prosper or live in true peace upon this earth!
Well sounds like yr dad a true person, Malcolm X was a spiritual teacher to me and came to me in dreams and even gave me a symbol I’ve been trying to figure out what it means, maybe your father can break it down what it means
Kudos to you Judie G for pulling yourself up and getting an advanced degree. You are great! We are all great if we would only just know it, believe it and act like it!
I TOO WAS IN CETA IN 1978-79,BUT THEY DIDN’T TEACH ME TYPING,AND SHOTRHAND LOL! LOL!GOD BLESS1
It really has nothing to do with a God if you choose to have intercourse.People have Gods and some are in the service of the church or religion they too are involved in s*x some times with woman other times with men and with children. Some of them are Priest or Reverend or Pastor who preach the gospel of God on Sunday and having affairs with people in their church. So please if you say you believe in a God by any name don’t say if you have God in your life it would not happen that is a lot of bunk and junk. Muslim.Christian and Jews and others have made babies without being married and some times when they are married the have s*x with other people. So please no BS.
U need some knowledge…stop letting the world kno how ignorant you are!
U need some knowledge….stop letting the world see how ignorant you & your fans are.
Minster Farrakhan is exactly right. I have five sisters who have no respect for their four brothers nor the very weak husbands that they married and in a couple of cases divorced. Not one of them are happy today, and its because they want to run their households and their weak men. Black women have destroyed the Black race!
Fool! Slavery and lack of knowledge of self destroyed the black race. I get so tired of black men and women attacking each other instead of finding constructive ways to uplift our communities. Read your history, which is American history, and use your God-given intelligence instead of emotions and propaganda to educate yourself as to how we deteriorated to this level. The Willie Lynch Syndrome is real, whether or not he was a real person!
We all have some blame to share. E.g., black men need to step up to the plate and be men in our communities, but they are so downtrodden by racism and inequality that most of them can’t. Yet, if given a chance by black women and society, many of them could lead productive lives and serve as examples for our young men, who solely need REAL role models. Instead, as soon as they “make it” the vast majority of them turn their backs on their own communities and “Miss Anne” reaps the benefit. Now, that’s just the truth.
On the other hand, we have these women who don’t have enough intelligence (and self-respect) to use protection and there you go…another mouth for US to feed! They also need role models–and do have many unsung heroes (male AND female) walking that talk–but rap music, the mainstream media, and TV have more credence than we do. They DO NOT listen because we “don’t know anything.” Neither do the young men listen to the older ones.
There is no respect for those of us elders who do try to teach them, but we have not given up, because it DOES take a village to raise a child. That’s another contributing factor to our myriad problems: no connection with our OWN history, aside from America. Yet, I can remember a time not too long ago when this was not the case.
Some of these people destroying our communities have not been taught anything about themselves, their heritage here in America, or in the Motherland; hence, the condition of our communities. Things didn’t get this bad overnight!!! And regardless of who is or is not to blame, we are all in this mess now and it is going to take all of us to overcome it.
We need to put our energy and attention into attaining real change, not temporary possessions such as the latest gadgets and cars, seeing how many people you can s*x up to make yourself temporarily feel better, and teaching our own children. That means spending time with them talking to them, during Black History Month, take them to a Museum or search the Net for “little known black history facts,” such as the site Tom Joyner has. Sometimes, if kids know about these unsung heroes, it will inspire to do something with their own lives!! There is so much that can be done instead of getting online talking c**p. Farrakhan is right about so much of what he teaches, but it is up to us to come out of denial and do something!!! In other words, stop waiting for Jackson, Sharpton, and Obama to solve our problems. Each of us can make a difference!! Don’t give in to that c**p about it’s too late. That’s what “The Man” wants us to think and feel. Otherwise, why would he be putting so much money into having the truly weak-minded among us, who can only see dollar signs, portray us in such negative ways??? Don’t fall for the yokie-doke. With the Supreme Being (that’s within us!), nothing is impossible!!!
DOROTHY, THAT WAS WELL SPOKEN! AND I SO AGREE WITH YOU.NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SAID.
If a black man is taking care if his family and sacrificing time to raise kids. Most sensible black.women would shut the f**k up and follow the lead. It’s the dumbass guy or overbearing woman that fails to see the objective of a strong black family
Then i say u never had faith in the first places,they did a job on u and u don’t even know this or care to know and make a crazy reason not to has many more. I will and have faith until i leave this earth that i was brought to be a goddess plus queen. Peace mi black king may YahVeh be with u. Peace
I have lost hope for myself. All the members of my family worship white people and tell me that if I don’t like what is going on in this country to leave it. Most of the Black people I know hate other Black people. They treat other Blacks that are light skinned well and have nothing to do with black skinned Blacks. I now stay to myself and try to teach my grandchildren that they are beautiful, just the way the are. It may be too late. I still have a little bit of hope (tiny).
separation is the biggest down fall for the blacks
wil-lie elaborate?
amen!
There is no hopelessness in Black people’s walk towards healing. All that is happening is part of the psychology shedding of the “old mind and thinking.” (like a snake sheds it’s old skin) In any movement forward, one takes two steps forward and then some crisis happens and we end up taking three steps back only to jump five steps forward the next time.
Minister Farrakhan speaks true history; and there is a reality about Black’s people’s situations that will take a long time for Black people to grow beyond because there are those who profit from our ignorance and seeming inability to rise to a higher consciousness. We have hundreds of years of horrific treatment to overcome.
Just keep on keeping on. Each one teach one. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and “see” the race moving forward in your mind’s eye and in the power of your words and actions. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!
I love this man. Black people and America in General are too arrogant to see the truth that this man speaks, or they are just too ashamed of the truth to embrace the knowledge that this man possess. Again, I love this man for speaking what many of us already know, and most of us are unwilling to acknowledge.
I love Minister Farrakhan as well. Over my past 20 years, Minister Farrakhan has been a consistent, fearless, and unapologetic warrior for our community. I have not agreed with everything he has said and done, but I have always respected and valued his efforts. Mainstream media attempts to marginalize his words into hateful sound bites, but if one is not lazy and actually takes the time to put Minister Farrakhan’s words into full context, then it would be obvious that his only agenda is to uplift our community. The Nation of Islam has always put forth a self-sufficiency doctrine. Our families. Our businesses. Our community. All these decades later, that type of directive continues to scare the heck out of people who simply want to assimilate and have shiny bling and expensive cars.
Slavery had such a deep, permanent impact on our culture and family structure that it seems hard to imagine us ever completely negating it’s affects on our lives. Familial issues regarding household management and leadership positions are often considered under the guise of popular culture at the time. In today’s cultural climate, black women are not content to take a secondary position in the household, for better or worse. As black men, we have to come to terms with this truth and make it work to everyone’s benefit. Black children need 2-parent households, regardless of who is considered the head of the household. Single parenting has to become a thing of the past. We have to make it taboo to raise a child without 2 parents involved on a daily basis. Our community will not change until we – black men and women – demand that type of accountability.
Good point about 2 parent homes, but what about people like me whose partner is NOT doing what they are supposed to? What about those of us who are divorced and are now single parents?
I want to hear a national cry in our community about adultery and infidelity. Those 2 things are killing us and eradicating our families more than anything else. Too many men are 1. cheating on their wives and significant others. Not only are they cheating, they often have children outside of their marriage or relationship. I’m not saying that pre-marital s*x is absolutely okay, but this IS what people do and have done since the beginning of time. Fidelity is needed in a pre-marital relationship as well.
What are many men constantly trying to get women to do? Have s*x with them or agree to be with them while they have other partners.
Then you have Black men who have drug problems, alcohol issues, commit crimes, or are just not motivated to do much with their lives. Many of them DON’T respect women, and do do right by them even when the woman is loyal, respectful, and dedicated to him.
Black people do need to marry more– and many of us Black women are trying to do that! But where are the upstanding men? You can’t even find a man in the church any more. Too many men are just playing around. Or they’re dedicating their lives to white women. I see it EVERY DAY in my city. Black men here LITERALLY will not date Black women, and look down on us, for real.
A man is supposed to be the head of the household. Until Black men gain the solid relationship with God, the intestinal fortitude to stand up against the difficulties of life, and the strength and respect to stand strong with his Black woman, we won’t get any where.
Black women have the same problem as other women about husband who are getting s*x from outside of marriage. They cause it on themselves by trying to use their p*****s as a power move. It won’t work. There’s too much out there. Keep the man preoccupied and he will stay at home. Won’t have time or energy for.outside flings. Occupied with s*x and family chores. Don’t you women get it?
Your response to Blossom is exactly what I was about to write. You have thought things out well concerning this topic, and I wish Black men and Black women would listen to those who speak with your wisdom. Thank you for confirming my thoughts.
There is the need to realize that God put us on this planet to reproduce Himself. Every child knows to obey his father. If he does not there are enough eyes in the community to inform him of the conduct of that child. The father makes corrections in the child’s attitude. So it is with God. He must be obeyed in order to build character and do righteous exploits in the community and the nation. Oppression does not stop overcoming. If it does, ask God to sweep your enemies out of your way. Just make sure that you are not in God’s way when He does this. Do not be as evil as your oppressors. They are already disobeying God. Seek truth. You cannot worship God or be lead by Him without it. God does not violate His own word. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise. This universe would not be complete without you. God’s purpose for you will not be denied and He made a BIG UNIVERSE for you to enjoy and create in. Creating is the Family Business. Remember…Envy not the oppressor nor choose any of his ways. When objectified answer with “I am who I am and your approval is not necessary.”
Everything you said is correct!i wish thing’s were differernt!Imiss having the love of an good black man around!I do what an woman is supposed to do and more.I pray that thing’s will change!
“In today’s cultural climate, black women are not content to take a secondary position in the household, for better or worse. As black men, we have to come to terms with this truth and make it work to everyone’s benefit”
@JV It’s certainly for the worse, How can a man taking a secondary position in his own house be of benefit to his family? A man is the head of his household regardless of where he works? He doesn’t take a secondry position because he lost his job. He protects and leads his family through good and bad times. Men allowing themselves to take secondary roles will only contributes to Americas feminization of black men, and lead to confusion for black children within those households. We must choose our mates more carefully and understand our roles within the family.
Child Support Laws is a Willie Lynch doctrine that pitch the black woman against the black man that has reduce the black woman to to the lowest of indecentcy.
She praise herself for want to have babies without a husband. Black Woman can’t denide that God gave you total control over your body. Our oppressors praise themself for this doctrine they has destory the mantal
of the black woman she do not want a husband. They has appear to the black woman you don’t have to be marriaged come to the Child Support office and we will give you all the help that you need to destory
your black fathers, sons ,brothes ,uncles, grandfathers.With this doctrine our oppressors has took control of our economic our social law of dialectial balance violating natural law. We had been trick into beliving that our state of condition is the result of a Deadbeat Father. How can we be economic equal when there is a plot by our oppressor to keep us from ever over comming.
Yeah I see a lot of despair in the city I live in people walking around looking like they have lost hope. It’s really sad and disheartning.
The legacy of slavery is still affecting the descendants of the former slaves. We are no longer physical slaves, but we are mentally enslaved. Our male ancestors’ manhood was almost totally destroyed by our former slavemasters. They had no ability to protect their wives or children. Some of our female ancestors willing had s*x with Caucasian males as a stragety to protect themselves and their children. They knew that there was safety and protection in being with any Caucasian male rather than a male from their own ethnic group. Also another major tool for keeping our ancestors under control was/is the psychological enslavement that came from worshipping an image that was supposed to be the Creators’ son (sic) that was/is in the image of a Caucasian male. Now look at how our women have been aping Caucasian women for over 100 years. It has become a normal thing to see the majority of our women wearing hair weaves or chemically straightening their hair in imitating Caucasian womens’ hair. A great African American religious man once said that “our women don’t belong to us, they belong to Caucasian men.” The beauty standard that was set by Caucasian males for their women is being imitated by our women. They are not trying to please us by what they are doing to their hair but subconsciously they are really trying to please Caucasian men. Many times I have heard our women complain about “black” men chasing after “white” women. This has happened because our young men from an early age has seen his mother, sisters, aunts and every other “black” women imitating the beauty standard of Caucasian women. So when he comes of age why shouldn’t he strive to get one of the women that the women of his race have wasted so much money trying to imitate. Sisters please give us an image of yourselves that we can be proud of. Not an image of a woman trying to see how close she can look and behave like a Caucasian woman.
You are 100% on point. Thanks.
Oh h**l no! Farakkhan is talking about who is leading and who is following. Last time I checked, our Creator wanted us to walk together. Don’t you go making up your own set of excuses to agree with the abandonment we experience watching our black men leave us with their babies and go marry other women! and don’t you dare excuse yourself from recognizing that not once in our entire history have we had a generation of black men who DEMANDED THAT THEIR BLACK WOMEN wear their hair the way God gave it to them. None of you men can stand before God with these excuses, you can only pass them off here on the internet. Pay attention to what our daughters are doing to please our sons and other people’s sons. They are wearing bathing suits on the streets!!! Recently I had the total displeasure of reading the works of a young black brother in the US who described the AGONY he went through allowing his wife to go natural after she had been creming her hair for so many years and he had so loved her straight long hair – the rationalizations he had to work himself over with. Don’t fool yourself brother, straighten your shoulders and speak those lies into God’s face.
I agree… as women we spend a lot of time compromising ourselves to that of what our men would want to make them happy… and as black women, IMO we do a whole h**l of a lot of denying who we are so as the black man.. my black man.. is not emasculated…so I have to agree with you Sharon and disagree with Amin.
I believe that what Amin is saying is pure justification for w/o taking full responsibility wanting and needing the opposite race. If a black man cannot look at his black mother and sister and see belonging… than that is on him… not the woman.
Its tru colonialism has fought its way into cultures everywhere l was even supprised when they gave china independance but remember our lord spoke of these things ,trials and tribulations and even enslavement.The Africas were and are a rich land but how much a price does one pay when a life is taken?hence war of cultures will bring tribulations.When we eat forbiden fruit we hit a wall with God and stir his anger ask urself why?why do we anger God,why does one nation do things different from another arousing jealousy which leads to war. why do they irrigate the arrizona desert yet there is no water for those in remotist Africa,could Jesus himself b a colonialist or even the seed to colonialism .Black woman maketh the red albino now it is for him to maketh himself Genesis ch4 ;7.lightening will stike ,man will become demond and kill throughout the night until either a stake is driven through his heart or he is stopped by God.Yes l am speaking of demonic possesion and the course of evolution.If the good lord dispayeth a kind spirit more power 2 him but woe unto those who think they cancope with the yoke he bares.
“Some of our female ancestors willing had s*x with Caucasian males as a strategy to protect themselves and their children”
Please stop perpetuating this distortion…..”Willing.” It was “terrorism”. Willing and terrorized are two different motivators. You are correct to say black women used it as a strategy but it was out of necessity of terrorized fear and for the survival of the family.
“aping Caucasian women”
Another distortion of black men to camouflage their on personal responsibility. Let’s get this straight. When white men raped black women, they raped her b/c she was pure African that he lusted after (black skin, nose and kinky hair and all). She was not imitating white women for the unwanted attention of the slave master. However, when mulatto babies began to proliferate yes they receive the attention of the white slave owners but it was black people especially black men within the black race who put these mulatto women on the pedestal b/c of their proximity to whiteness. Black men did not hide the fact they favored these women b/c of their skin color and hair….And the rest history speaks for it self.
In contemporary times, Black men continue to show favor to women with straighter hair (and as they say good hair) -vs- kinky hair.
I’ve lived in both worlds. Had perm when younger and natural as an adult. As a youth, boys teased black girls for not getting their hair straighten and as adults it continues to happen. Before growing locks I had an angela davis afro; had a black male friend asked me to perm it. You can bet he was dropped quickly. So please spare sisters who know better. Black men are the coercers and reason black women continue to get perms. But I’m happy to see there is a movement among black women who have become indifferent to what black men think and are returning to their natural hair.
post comments and stop the censorship.
AMEN!
I believe that you have had such a struggle with Black women that you have lost sight on the make up of these women. Black women do not imitate white women. Black women have created their own form of beauty and if it looks like what a white woman has, too bad for the beholder. The weave has given Black women an opportunity to look like a woman who is not stuck in a slave mentality, you know the nappy hair with the beaddy hair surrounding the head. Weaves and permanents give the opportunity to look glamourous and the hair styles are numerous and give an opporunity for a different, glamourous and carefee lifestyle. Black women are more beautiful than every because of these processes and I feel sorry for the brothers who are unable to establish a livlihood with a sister who is not going to wear her hair in a bush or natural so that she can please Black men. Why do you brothers complain about the actions of Black women and never reflect on the actions of Black men. More Black men marry white women than Black women marry white men, and it is not because white men do not want to marry Black women or because Black women will not cater to white men they way Black men perceive white women to cater to Black men. White women could learn something from Black women when it comes to men and beauty. Go ask them if you can get that close. White men have obviously made it clear to Black men with no money through mental manipulation not to seek out the white women whom you think Black women want to imitate.
Your comment makes as much sense as your name fig newton. African American will not be your new Goyims.
Why would you want wear the hair a Asian woman, these Indian Women offer their hear to their Hindoo God as a sign to their God. They saying saying I don’t put my hair hair is not important to me. Then that same hair is shipped to America and our women do the opposite to the Asian women our hair mean everything to us, we would spend more money on that thing and we would even pay down installment. I don’t thing black women are trying to look like white women, but it look like they want what don’t belong to them. The father bless us all with different hair types praise him. look at all the animals take a dog for example, a poodle has hair like a lot of black people then you have dog with silky straight hair all Gods creation. I love my black sisters just the way the father made them, I married to a black queen for 26 years now she has beautiful locks and people always looking at her and given her compliment especially other black women, so of them have weaves but they just can’t help giving her compliment and a lot of them with love to have something similar, but the just won’t take the plunge. My wife work with a lot of white women and they all love her hair. Walk proud walk tall and your beauty shine through, let the Asian women keep their hair God bless them, they don’t want to buy our hair. The Asian love us because we keeping them rich.
Thank you for your great comment! Black women want to look beautiful in our own eyes. Funny thing that so many White women today wear extensions even though their hair is already long and straight!
Let’s not forget about how much easier it is to manage your hair when it is permed or weaves/braided with extensions. When I wore my hair natural, it was rough and hard to comb. And I did not particularly care for the way I looked. I don’t want locks, and I like being able to wear my hair in various styles so I have braided extensions and it works for me great!
The English men and women used to wear white powdered wigs. That was the style. There are tribes in Africa that put mud in their hair, and the hair looks like locks or braids. If you look around the world, you’ll see that yesterday and today, mankind always decorates himself, and there are many examples of drastic alterations of peoples’ appearances in the name of beauty.
CAN WE PLEASE STOP ANALYZING OURSELVES?? We are carrying on the practice of the White establishment by continually making ourselves the subject of studies, observations, and social experiments and debates.
By the way, this comment was in response to Fig Newton.
That’s the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, Amin!!!
I agree 100% ,,,,because everything that he said I have been talking about for years ……peace – out DJ Quiet Storm
It’s time to stop using slavery as an excuse. How many of us knew our slave ancestors, or anything much about the African culture of those days? Most of Africa today is quite different from what it was then.
How many are listening to parents or even teachers instead of adapting the worst and most disgraceful attitudes, clothing, vocal expressions.
We all have brains, use it, move on and do the right thing.
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO FARRAKHAN FOR SOMETIME NOW BUT THIS IS A LOAD OF CROCK and so I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt by saying, this is an unrehearsed sermon. THIS IS YOUR LATEST EXCUSE FARRAKHAN FOR OUR SONS, BROTHERS, FATHERS, UNCLES..to defend their unwillingness to stand with us and be family with us because they keep running from the white man when it comes to standing for our children but run to him when they want to look like him, be like him and then turn around and come demand our daughters. Slavery may have caused our men to not feel responsible for supporting our children, but know Farrakhan, that the pride of supporting your children ensures that our sons and daughters go to college, nothing else. We still have too many marginally educated stick-to-it fathers who because of their loss ensure their sons go to college. Speak the truth FARRAKHAN! I think you’ve run out of sermons. Teach our sons THE TRUTH!!Teach our sons that the difference between us and them is stick-to-itive-ness. Which way do we run to get away from our children? Tell them to make an effort to remain in school to get the same education that our girls stay in school to achieve. Tell them to make more effort to keep a job, make an effort to control their temper, make more effort to bring something home for their child and not take it visiting. HOW WOULD I OUT OF AN INSTINCT TO PROTECT MY MALE CHILD, BREAK HIM? Am I breaking him to consider marrying anyone BESIDES a woman of colour? AND WHO IS THE US YOU REFER TO that I am turning him over to?
First of all,
This speech how perhaps this led to the execution of Malcom X by the very Muslim (Nation of Islam) groups in America when Malcolm found out the truth and tried to enlighten the black community.
He, Malcolm X, found or learned that hatred was not promoted in the Muslim religion and when he aimed to communicate this, he was killed!
He went to Mecca!
And yes, slavery has had a major impact, but we are holding on to the past instead of developing our intelligence.
What is wrong with the women filling up the colleges, cannot get a good paying job without it, it is a part of the educational norm. We must work to pay the many material financial greed that has been forced on us.
Blacks, African Americans, need to travel overseas, not just to Africa but to as many countries as possible to see the difference in loyalty amongst many different cultures. Caucasians do travel and know about the variations and even mimic them.
It is 2012!
Even back in the day when black women, were being given work/ employment in the houses to clean, iron, cook or care for children which ended up being all included and as their income increased, black men were fighting with the women and leaving the home because they were making more money while the women were trying hard to provide for share with the family.
What about the days of pimping, Farrakhan did not mention that, which was a direct disrespect by black men towards black womens’ bodies, slapping, killing, exploiting, beating the women up, taking their welfare money to buy new colorful suits and model (red shoes, red suits and red hats matching) to pimp other women outside of the home with a wife or woman at home, outright disrespect which goes on right now in the African American Muslim religion.
The men are marrying too many women (in the name of the Muslim religion that they cannot support financially and producing children that shall believe this is the correct way!
What happened to Malcom X?
A direct disrespect by black men towards a black man, resulted!
Thank Allah for the colleges to learn more than what the black man has had to offer black women after the organized slavery, on the farm slavery stopped thanks to industrialism which by the way is replacing the black man and everyone else, now robots are being implemented.
There is a lot more explaining to do regarding the outcome of the failures of black people and to make the women the scapegoats of what started out as disrespect toward a whole African race, male and female.
Sounds like Farrakhan is running out of women to brainwash with their tired, African American Muslim principles, the ones that promote hatred and marrying a bunch of women they cannot financially support!
Go to college women and respect yourselves! Use your minds to shape your life and not let determine who you should be only to end up without gain, economically, socially, psychologically etc.
These men had and many still do not have respect for women and their bodies nor the dollars they earn, paying the rent on time, taking care of their children etc. Look at the high numbers of child support cases, who is the guy with the 30 children begging for help with making payments. Divorce rates are high, Sexually transmitted diseases all over the place, homelessness, there are more women now living in the shelters without the man or husband and trying to support their children alone. Welfare became the new man!
Rap music was initially socially conscious and it turned to gangsta because of the drugs and the very same disrespect for women that had been going on during slavery before slavery (polygamy), during the 60′s (pimping days) and up until now.
Get your facts straight and don’t forget the history of what men did by disrespecting themselves and others. Don’t leave that piece out!
Look at the violent wars going on which includes rape and new children, who promotes that?
Tari, your comments are totally on point. I didn’t listen to Farrakhan’s speech yet, but nonetheless, you make EXCELLENT points.
You know, the proof of some of what you said is in the lifestyle and behavior of male rappers who are wealthy and don’t have to live in bad projects and ghettos anymore, and don’t live in desperation to provide for themselves and their families. But even though they are MULTI-MILLIONAIRES now, they spew out destructive verbal pollution and disrespect women in their lyrics, talk about pimping, drug selling, killing. They create ghettos within people’s minds, keep a street mentality strong for people who have never even been in the streets. When do we leave that paste behind?
They’re supposed to be “men.” Were are the kind words for women? Do they think or our daughters as simply tools to “get their freak on”? I’m so sick of hearing that men want a woman who’s “a lady in the street and a freak in the bed.” With all the sexually transmitted diseases afflicting people today, where’s the common sense? What is so positive and great about what these “men” are doing? They made money so it’s alright? Where’s the love of self and their people? You can make money honestly and decently many ways.
I know some of them have or give to charities. But so did big-time drug dealers. They killed people, caused children to live in chaotic, fearsome households because their parents were strung out, killed dreams and futures, made neighborhoods dangerous to live in, but on the other hand, gave out groceries and turkeys on Thanksgiving. Is that really what we want?
Which do we need more, charities or stable minds, educated children and parents, jobs within our communities, decent schools in our neighborhoods? Which one do we choose?
I totally agree 100% with what he said, I have been working at a male prison for 11 years and I am constantly talking about the Willie Lynch theory, it is amazing how something that was written hundreds of years ago is still bring applied to this day. Do you wonder why Blacks don’t stick together or why black women don’t respect their black men. I have not lost hope in my black people but it’s so sad how in Louisiana there are so many blacks with this Slave mentality, but you can’t get them to understand what they are subconsciously doing. We need to wake up and look at how light skinned blacks are against dark skinned blacks. The Willie Lynch Theory is something all blacks should take the time to read, you probably would understand why our race is like it is.
Tears of a Black Womb Man
By Mozlyric ©2012
w***y lynch wrote a story, came between us, made you believe I Lost faith in you.
If you hadn’t lost sight of me, you would have realized I had to do what I had to do.
Do you think I supported him humiliating you and stripping you of your manhood?
You are Bone of my Bone, Flesh of my Flesh, I thought you understood.
In his jealous rage, w***y beat you down and took you away from me.
And like a thief, he molested me in the darkness thinking his wife couldn’t see.
But she saw, made my life a living h**l, and then set her sights on you.
Now I’m the w***e, your concubine and she’s become the wife you’re married to.
Patriarchy replaced Matriarchy, followed by feminine suppression and nation oppression.
Strange gods say it’s ok to take me and rape me, plunging me further into depression.
If I’m not being covered up head to toe, I’m being pimped in stripper’s clothes.
My momma raised me to be a lady, but I get more attention being a ho.
I’m confused, you say I’m loud, I’m ugly, and I got too much drama.
Yet you want me to give you a little head, some a**l s*x then can’t stand me as your baby mama.
Yeah I have fallen; I know the goddess in me is ashamed.
The fruit of my womb is now the curse of my womb for this I take the blame.
Scholars STILL trying to keep me in the back of the bus so I can re-learn my place.
But as long as you emasculate me, we will remain a nation down on our face.
w***y is still lying to you. Why you keep falling for his propaganda?
If you believe I can’t get a man or I’m full of disease then you might as well believe in Santa.
Hold up. Rewind. I have a confession. I don’t always have it together.
I have been vulgar in my struggle, but it won’t last forever.
Soon I will remember I’m made in the image of the Eternal. I have lost sight of my Cosmic Mother.
From between my thighs galaxies were born, the Universe is my Lover.
See, I don’t care what w***y says because now I’m writing the script.
Don’t trip! It’s me and you baby at the helm of the Mother-ship.
I never stopped loving you my black brother, even tho we forgot how to communicate.
It’s time to renew our courtship. Let’s get to know each other this time before we decide to lay.
Look at me. You are me and I am you.
Hold my hand. One and one make Two.
So let’s tell w***y to kiss our a*s, give him the finger, turn our back and walk away.
I’ve cried enough tears for the whole of us, 400 years and a day.
I LOVE this poem. I hope you don’t mind, I want to send this to others. Thank you very much for it!
@Blossom,
Thank you! Please do pass it on to others. I’m contemplating making a video out of it and publishing it on you tube.
More sistahs and bruthas need to overstand how black women HAVE NOT abandoned our families to become independent from our families.
While there are triflin’ sistahs amongs us, for the most part many of us just do what we got to do, point blank. I’m completely fed up with negative propaganda pointed in our face. We get it from the media who say we can’t get a man or we are disease ridden with Aids. We get it from white chicks who think they can “school” us on how to treat our men. We get it from ourselves, because some of us hate on each other and sleep with their friends man. We get it from religious leaders and so called scholars who are always trying to put us on the “back of the bus”. We get it from white men who refer to us as “nappy headed hoes”. We get it from our own men who complain, complain, complain yet won’t stand up for REAL serious issues that are plaguing our communities much less stand with us and protect us and our black children.
I can go on for days because I KNOW better. I am educated and currently pursuing a PH.D at the advisement of my BLACK HUSBAND. Because he does respect my intelligence and realizes I have a lot to offer to the world. I take care of my domestic responsibilities and I am a faithful hard working sistah who is completely NATURAL.
And quite frankly it takes a special man to be MY MAN. Because he gonna have to have strength and rightness in his heart to deal with my spiritual energy. Which is why I believe so many black dudes turn to white women. Ain’t a white woman I know that can match the love energy of a black sistah who got herself together or her tenacity and intelligence. That’s why we get playahated on jobs and in every industry including the MUSIC industry that is black male dominated with regard to so-called HIP HOP. I will challenge (in a positive way) any man to be that which he claims himself to be! You better believe it….ask my husband or my sons LOL!
Personally I don’t know why black men are crying. All these black male religious zealots, political leaders, media personalities, hip hop moguls, sports figures in the lime light and black males STILL don’t have their sh*t together? And then want to PUNK OUT and blame a woman for their/our problems?
PLEEEEEEEESE. Give me a d**n break! A dog may be a white man’s best friend, but a BLACK WOMB-MAN is and always has been a black man’s best friend.
I suggest these brother’s come up out they diapers and remember who they are and who we are. We are the solution to our own problem.
Thank you Blossom for your thoughtful comments I’ve read throughout this thread. I pray the poem will be a blessing to ALL who have “ears to hear”.
Kindly,

I refuse to believe that a people who gave life to the planet do not have the resolve to take care of themselves.What has to be done is find the ones among us who understands what is reality.
If a group of Caucaisians came here and took a whole continent,The Jews have Israel then I know we can do the same.I don’t think we have the luxury to wait 50 years to educate the masses.If there is a group of us who see just what we see on a daily basis and aren’t ready for change, then you must leave them behind.
We have everything we need.From a President who has conducted business on the Worlds stage.And I know its other Brothers who can do the same.
We have many geniuses among us.We’ve seen A Joint Chief Of Staff,Governors,Attorneys,Teachers,Musicians,Athletes .I could go on and on.But we just have to believe in ourselves.
Fredrick Douglas said “Its Easier To Raise A Child Up Than To Fix A Broken Man’
i do not agree with this slavery was pover 100 years ago they need to let this s**t go and move on that whole generation of people is dead i know of a lot of dead beat dads and black women who just have f**k up attitudes thats the problem stop blaming everything that goes on today on slavery blacks was not the only race of people keep in slavement for 400 years blacks are just the only ones that still talk about it like is still goin on
What other race has been IN slavery for 400 years and has been OUT for only 4 generation? You need to do you math. There are grandparents who are around that can tell you want their grandparents went through. Educate your self.
Slavery has something to do with the past of African American Black folks. History is in every race and every race has to look at their history and learn from these histories so that the history does not repeat itself. You obviously have not talked to any Jews, Hispanics or Africans. Black people need to stop being so negative about themselves. Black people need to stop being so complacent. Black people need to seek more education. And Black people need to learn the Word of our Lord, do what the Word says, and get the abundant life that God put here for us.
If you know of someone who is a dead beat dad, report him to the authorities. As for the attitude of Black women, try living the life of her, especially if she has children to raise who have been left by their dead beat dad. Try to lend assistance if you can and learn how to help the Black race instead of treading on it.
My comment to this obviously illerate person is this: you are not a part of this history, so talk about what you know. First of all, we are in America and are talking about the injustices done to Black people here. We are not speaking about ills done throughout the world. Slavery continues to impact on us as a people in ways even we can’t comprehend, let alone someone on the outside. Secondly, speaking about Farrakan’s stupid opinion. black women were not strengthened through violation of their persons or the stealing of her children. Terrible things happened to both men and women during this terrible blight upon America’s history. We can’t erase the past, but why are our men the most likely man in America to not committ (marry) or date women from other races. They are race-haters and deserters. Black men need to grow a pair, and stop making children mindlessly.
The past is never seperated from the present and neither is Racism/White supremacy.
you are absolutely correct!
right on point with the rap c**p music, it has messed these young black males mind up to the point one might think of no return. women are only good for a s****l fling, it has trained the young black male to hate each other with a passion, money is over everything, sniches get bang bang bang, bang bang bang, its a mess. its a black kkk. no love for nothin but money.
Three Wise Men
Do not listen to Minister Farrakhan, Dr. Martin Luther king or Malcolm X: these three men are
Crazy at least that’s what the enemy use to say. He use to tell us color folks this back in the day
But is it wrong to be wise, to educate or recognize the enemy? I don’t think so. They did not say
To hate him, they just said to keep him at a distance, to expand the black race and not feel
Ashamed in anyway, no matter what another race may think! Why should we? Don’t other
Races celebrate lavishly when a new addiction comes into their family? Whether it’s there first,
Second or third child…..so sisters and brothers keep your heads up instead of down and no I
Probably don’t agree with everything these three wise men were trying to teach but no (2)
People agree on everything but certain rules and laws we must learn to agree on: we must
Mean each one teach one, we must stop living like crabs in a pot, we must stop the killing
Amongst our own people and stop feeding our babies the wrong ingredients as well as figure
Out what it is that we are missing but most of all black and brown folks we must learn how to
Listen!!!!
I have been saying this about rap music for some time. Amazingly, the biggest defenders of the garbage are black people. As for black men and women I think the women rock weaves because its what they think men want. We were wearing short styles as recently as the 90′s and no one wore full weaves. That style went out and long hair came in style. Men need to SAY that they prefer women with their own hair. Voice it OUT LOUD and live by it. Sistahs are spending all that money trying to look appealing to BLACK MEN.
It’s the truth and a vast % of black women who had all these so-called big jobs via the white man and this slave type system basically got tricked and souled out. All these dumb talk shows,these trashy urban so-called romance magazines and these jive r and b relationship songs were all part of the mix to create all this division and arguinga among black women and men.This situtation overall is much bigger than some off the wall arguing over religion and this god is better than that god.One thing for sure,while black men and women argue and debate over religion.
ole slave masssa is doing in black people for sure,with a new trick right in our faces.Look what happen with the so-called black president and all this change.Only change I am seeing among many black’s is more pennies in their pockets and having a footstamp ebt card .
As a young black college educated woman, I was against people blaming everything on slavery, but as of now, I can see that slavery is to blame. I just read a comment on this thread and shook my head. A commenter responded and he did not sound intelligent in the least bit. Sentences were missing words and I could not read what he said with understanding, so I stopped reading it and moved on to other comments, which were intelligent. Our young men cannot even write full sentences, but can write a few rap verses. How do you use text language in a sentence? I don’t want to attack anyone, but I have to point this out. This is exactly what the minister is pointing to, and to make matters worse, the young man used foul language because his vocabulary is not developed. Use of street terms in a intellectual comment thread, and foul language, is a sign of an ignorant mind trying to express it’s self. Say what you mean, and mean what you say, but do it intellectually. The commenter said slavery is not to blame, please explain how it isn’t when you listen to this same music that files up your mind and then blame it on the beat, that you so eloquently says is the reason why you listen to it. As the minister stated, black men are filling up the jail cells while we young black females are filling up the class room and becoming independent, and feel as though we do not have a use for men at all, except a view of destruction and what we do not want in our lives. We cannot get so big headed that we leave our black men to destroy themselves. That is my view.
C.Deloris Tucker died trying to fight the road to perdition this music was leading our young Men and young women down. This music and reality shows , devalue , marginalize us as a people. The nonsense that is broadcast all over the world that represents our culture. These people are not laughing with us, but at us.They are taking those modern day minstrel shows and calling them entertainment. It saddens me.
Thank you for not sugar coating your opinion. Truth is black men are the most vocal supporters of this mental madness called rap music. Black men defending rap music is comparable to slaves defending their slave masters.
We have to get rid of the slave mentality. I believe we have to teach our boys that they are valued, and we do that through the Word of God not through the Word of man. We can not continue to believe the lies of the enemy. Get in the Word and start allowing the Holy Spirit teach to us and guide us in all truths.

This is for Mr or Ms DIABLO: I am sorry that you feel the way that you think. We must tell our story until all-not some of our people but all of our people understand what happen to us in this (white American) history world. No other people lived through what we lived through and are still living through. We are physically alive but almost brain dead because of what we have gone through. To stop talking about it, will make our and other people forget what happen to us.Then we will be open to the chicanary of all other ethnic groups. And if you look around you will see the results of what forgetting will do. Our neiborhods are infested with other people living off of us. THIS WAS WELL PLANNED. American wants to have someone to look down on so that they can feel tall. Yes the woman is education herself. Now if you men would band together and stand, educate yourselves and your sons. Help your woman to ecucation your children, be their fathers. That child don’t have to be your blood. He becomes your son if you are there for him. The mother is the first teacher. She teaches him for the first three years of his life. (you be the second teacher for the rest of his life. You have the last word.) By not forgetting, you are saying NEVER AGAIN.
I disagree with the person who said blacks are still using slavery as a excuse, slavery is still going on and will keep going on long as we keep being mentally enslave, Don’t think that their isn’t any slaverly going on, It’s truely still here and will contiue to be as long as we allow it to be.
great comment! you are correct
Yes! Many Blacks today are afraid to see and speak the truth!
What a load of c**p. It’s not the black woman who turned her back on black men, it’s black men who abandoned the black woman. Slavery in all its horridness could have been the staple that showed the strength of enduring black love in spite of hatred, forced separation, rape, and trials, but instead all it did was spur desire for white woman in the heart of black men. Get a clue Farrakhan.
AMEN! Someone dared to say it.
It is time for the Old Guard to pass. This speech is old and played out. The “w***y Lynch” story is pure propaganda. First and foremost our ancestors were NOT that stupid. All this propaganda does is make excuses for the black man and keep him suspended in helplessness and as a victim of not only the white man, but of his own black woman as well.
We need to question these men who call themselves scholars and question their references. I completed a recent research project on Prison Reform. I came upon an article discussing the disparaging treatment between women of color and white women in the penal system. It was stated that the biggest threat to white plantation owners AND the system of patriarchy was the BLACK FEMALE SLAVE.
w***y Lynch did not train the black woman how to be independent from her man. The black woman was already INDEPENDENT in her intelligence and the reason she was/STILL is the greatest threat was her tenacity to fight for freedom and teach her children to do so as well. Sojourner Truth’s Autobiography is a real eyeopener. Not only did black women suffer domestic violence from slave owner’s, they also suffered abuse from their men because black men IMITATED the behavior of the slave master toward his own black women (See Madame CJ Walker story)
Black men (talented tenth) sold us out right after slavery, because they received the RIGHT TO VOTE and hold PUBLIC OFFICE before white women could and many abandoned the movement to include women (which was their own women). Black men were also more LITERATE than black women (see DuBois writings pertaining education during post-bellum period). So lets stop with the fabrications. Black women were the last to receive higher education and hold political offices. Look at society today. Mainstream American socio-political scene is STILL MALE HEAVY.
Most black religious leaders are BLACK MEN, black men STILL outnumber black female politicians, even in media BLACK male commentators and radio personalities outnumber black females (listen to the Power 128 Sirius XM).
So why are our men crying? It is the BLACK FAMILY that is in trouble. Black women is now and has been the fastest growing population of female prisoners, juvenile incarcerations of black and brown children through SCHOOL referrals is out of control.
So my question is, when “w***y” got the WHOLE BLACK FAMILY locked up, who will Farrakhan and the rest of our sell out leaders blame then?
JUST ASKING……
Despite what some people may think, the majority of African American men don’t chase after Caucasian women. We do love and marry women of our own race. It may seem that way, because many high profile men and women from our ethnic group have chosen Caucasians as their mates. There is nothing wrong with anyone choosing a mate from another ethnic group. Our daily interactions brings us in contact with different ethnic groups; So, we may fall in love and marry outside of our race. But because of our history it is hurtful to hear a person of African descent say that they prefer to be with someone from another ethnic group, because “black” men or”black” women are no good. Anyone that really believes that is mentally enslaved.
So what if it’s not the majority of Black men who chase after white women. It’s still a large number of them. I don’t go by high-profile individuals, I go by what I see EVERYDAY in my city, as I posted above. And, what’s up with Black men always marrying White women when they become wealthy??
Black men need to grow a set and show themselves, their children, Black women, and the world that they are real men. I know that there are some difficult Black women, but there are many excellent Black women who don’t get any respect from Black males.
Nita, I guess you have never heard of The Willie Lynch Syndrome… You need to study a whole lot of Slave Narratives, etc., and then decide if what you believe is fact or fiction. Also perhaps study the subject of guinea pigs, and see how since slavery you will find several cases through-out the History of this country of how Black people are the selected subjects of experiments (Katrina),etc.,
@ Anita I agree with your comment as well. Majority of our black men prefer white women as a choice mate I believe for many reason such as Feeling equal to being white or the priviledge of being wanted by white women who knows, but the bottom line is this….the white women technically don’t want them unless they (blk men) own $omething. Just about all of our blk men that own $omething or educated especially those that are sports/entertainment figures ends up with white women (few hispanic or asian) after the white women reach their goal package they lose the blk man back to the blk women with nothing to bring to the table. the blk women are left to take care of themselves as usual which lead them to seek better ways to take care of themselves by education, jobs and or trades, which only open doors for other nationality of males. Even blk women who are educated find it very hard to match up with their own race men because most our blk men are unemployed, jail and or still live at home with parents. Blk women would want nothing more than to be with a beautiful strong black man, one of her own,which belongs to us (blk women) that has concrete goals, secured and stable financial status and family oriented and respect us as a beautiful woman that has no match of a kind, incomparable, a man whose desire is towards us. Just love,protect and respect us and we inturn can give you respect as the man that you prove yourself to be. A man is one who leads and take care of those who follow, not as servants but as your companion and when it is like this the woman willing serve you as a MASTER piece. LOVE to all my Black brothers….come back to us the Black women…we DO want YOU.
I respect your comment and your points can not be ignored.
It is full time the black race stop blame slavery for our problem. we are not the only race on the earth to have had that experiance, rather we should take responsiblity for our lives and move forward as a people.
The ‘Black Woman’ is the first to say; “The White Women” are taking our Black Men. Where in the U.S. did you shoot that video?
WOW!!! so so so so true Mr. Farrakhan, thank you for that speech. but can you please go on national tv and say this so the world can hear you. Believe me its necessary. Please Please black people stop fighting and killing each other over really stupid things. turn that gun on those crooked cope and racists white groups who are shooting and beating innocent black people everyday. we dont have to know the person they beat up or shot, the point is black people start defending each other and looking out for each other just like mexicans do for each other, jews, chinnese white people.. I have traveled all over the world playing basketball and doing underground security in many countries and believe me, we are in serious trouble if we as black people dont get our s**t togheter NOW!!!
100% true Eric, however we are not ready as a people. We must start with economics and land.
This is a very delicate subject, there’s alot of blame to go around. But I do believe if a black woman came from a family where she saw her mother repect her father, that can be a great start in today’s society….
Thanks, very well spoken
That’s heavy what he says but so true,Our black men&women needs to pray for strenght
@Willa,you can believe what you will,but the facts are facts if you believe or not.If black women made better choices in the men they sleep with,our children would be better off.The problem is too many black women have children out of wedlock and by more than one guy.This is unacceptable behavior that used to be called out by other black women. Now anything goes.The hoezs have shamed the good black women into not calling them out.
I have children out of wedlock and with more than one father. I am not a ho. I did not and do not take having children out of wedlock lightly. I have more than one father because the first one abandoned me. The second one was not planned, and though I used protection, I still became pregnant. The father started abusing alcohol, and naturally, the marriage that we planned was no longer an option. This certainly happens to many decent women. I am college educated, a hard worker, and a great mother, and I want nothing more than to be married.
Please tell me oh “wise one,” where I can find a husband. Do you have one for me??
I thank God for my children, and I will not allow you to insult me or other women, nor my children. Not all married women are “good women.” There are plenty of hoes with rings on their fingers.
Make better choices in men? Well, what do you do when you find out that your “upstanding” guy sleeps with other women and just had a baby with someone else? What do you do when you’re sleeping with your “faithful” man who has a great job, a great relationship with his momma, well-educated, and helps in the community but just had a baby by another woman? Or, you just found out that he sleeps with men?
What about the vast majority of men who will not date you because you won’t sleep with them? I’m NOT saying that you should give in, but that makes marriage very difficult these days.
Say on, say on. Let every one who has ears to hear and eyes to see, take notice. I believe even if The Honorable Minister DID NOT say what he says, the Creator God would raise someone else up to say it. There aren’t many people alive today who REALLY know what shackles made of iron, unmerciful and undeserved beatings, starvation, systematic humiliation, lynchings, and unimaginable diabolical mistreatment at EVERY turn can do to individuals and groups who are the victims of such. You CANNOT and, therefore, SHOULD NOT dismiss 400 consecutive years of some form or another of such an experience and be satisfied with the admonition that you should “Just get over it”. Now that we know the WHAT and WHY, let’s finish the job of getting our OWN act together and do so with all deliberate speed one man, one woman, one, boy, one girl at a time.
The Minister tells it like it is
Love one self and family that look like you 1ST. The Genocide has started. Peace
@FIGNEWTON, I TOTALLY CO-SIGN WHAT YOU SAID!!!! THAT WAS SPOT ON.
As a black man it is hard to lead most of the time. I try to lead my family, but when you make a decision it is called domestic violence. Where I live CDV is doing anything that can be seen as over powering your wife. If I say my family will go to church at a particular location, and my wife disagrees she can call the police and claim domestic violence. This is crazy.
Please if only these blame songs will come to a stop.
Just when nothing is working in our favour, “Pastas” and politicians will come out to continue the recycling of the same old stuff. It might be slavery or colonialism, or god blesses.
It is time we Africans remember we also have brains to work with. And that the blame games are bringing us nowhere, but the brainstorming that got others to know what they want and chase where to get it.
The honorable Minister Farrakhan was and is right on it. We as a Black people has lost our selfesteem and dignity. Even our pride is gone. It is good to hear the truth, it’s too sad that the whole country isn’t listening to what Minister Farrakhan is saying, instead of picking a part about his religious origin. The message is what we should be listening too. I’m totally grateful for hearing this message from Minister Farrakhan. Yes! black ministers, the truth hurts, because he didn’t let you off the hook. Our black ministers need to tell the truth, walk the truth and then live the truth…Thank you very much Minister Farrakhan..
If you do not know your history, despite its short or long comings, we
are a child. We have to learn our past so we can start shaping our future. At the present, not enough of us know who we are, what we did
to make this country great and how we as great people survived the American Slavery. I agree other people have been placed into slavery, but slavery in the Americas was a peculiar one, it was different. A people can more easily overcome basic slavery, but not when your culture and legacy is stolen; not when a slave is less than an animal; not when a slave can be killed and the killer was never punished; not when babies from slave mothers were sold to the highest bidders and not when the female slaves were raped anytime they want it to produce the multicolor African Americans that exist today. Yes we need to know what happened so it will never happen again.
Knowing our past is fantastic, but not putting structures in place to
shape our future is the fault of the ones gaining the knowledge. We have to understand that we need to get closer to God, gain wisdom, learn a skill, plan our future, love thyself, despise activities that are counterproductive to our goals and objectives and educate and educate ourselves throughout our lives.
I have learned that base on the white man’s genetic makeup, he will always use the American form of racism to gain wealth. This is how this country was started economically and is going on today. We are still having our legacy stolen, we are still being thought of as second class citizens with no objectives to better the people of color. With this in mind, we have to do for self and become an independent mind of people and this will come about by truly and rightfully getting closer to God, becoming educated, gaining wisdom and put ourselves on a level to be competitive not only with white Americans but people worldwide.
Who was convicted for the crime of Slavery? We can never have real justice or a justice system because America was built on the blood of unpaid African slaves. White people have benefited from the crimes of their forefathers. Emancipation was about as bad as Slavery and Desegregation. Where do millions of ex-slaves go when the Immigrants have brought skills from their country to work in factories that slave labor built? The Asians kept their segregated selves and were able to turn washing clothes into cleaning clothes, into building restaurants with a unique cuisine from their own country, into import export with their country of origin. Add up all this and compare it to getting paid nothing for about 400 years and you get just what you see now. Asians with whole communities with the exact same industries that they were allowed to build SEGREGATED from white people while we were forced to integrate as the greatest thing that could happen to us. Now you see the results. Abraham Lincoln could have brought the Black Ghetto to the signing of the EP because with no skills to compete with the Immigrants, you fester and explode like a blister. people cannot be caught, societies are not static. We are excited about Oprah but that’s the way capitalism works that is evil one women gets notoriety compared to millions who will never get above minimum wage. That’s stupid to get excited about! We can never catch anyone in this society until we recreate a new Paradigm that takes the evils of slavery and asks “what the Creator wanted us to get from it to use to have more that one “Oprah” to get excited about and get excited about communities of Oprah’s.” American Slavery crippled us forever if we continue to follow the the example that the oppressors have set for us. There is something in American Slavery that has the potential to equalize us with all that left us behind in the system build for them. Our Creator is not dumb! We have been tried in the fire, but we came out and became shadows of our oppressors and they will win at their own game everyday.
Slavery has nothing to do with what is going on betwen black men and women. Black women began to turn against black men in the early 1970′s. And we know why.
Hundreds of thousand of blackwomen entered the professional workforce with their college degrees. Their claim to fame was that unless a black man was their socio-economic equal, he did not measure up.
Today, the blackwoman does not care whether a man measures up. If he is an educated professional, she will still talk down to him. If she is uneducated and with children, she still thinks she is better.
If she can behave long enough to find a man, she will choose a gay brother or white man over an educated straight brother.
And let’s not forget the best part. She has been brainwashed to believe that she is spiritually superior to the black man. That’s right, the blackman is the devil.
Oh shut the h**l up! In the 70′s black men and women were being strung out on drugs, where is the differentiation?
You must know some weak behind females. True sistahs don’t want no homosexual man or white boy. PLEEEEEEEASE.
Learn your history. When black males were the most literate and educated in our communities and sistahs were the maids and cleaning s**t out of white folk toilets all was well wit ya’.
Black women didn’t cause brothas to lose their status in our communities, blame that on the white male think tank the educated black male “talented tenth” lusted after.
We have all fallen for the game. You thought you could hang out in “equal” status with the white man, but his jealous behind showed you. Don’t hate on sistahs getting an education, we are the LAST (behind black men and white women).
And please consider that MOST of our religious leaders are BLACK MEN. So if you want to blame your condition on someone, please look in the mirror. Black men out number black women in religious positions, political seats, media personalities, corporate CEO’s etc. So why are you crying? Black men should be happy their women finally got rights to vote and expand their intelligence. Should I tell my young daughter who reads at a college level to stop reading because she may offend some man? Should I train her to be a good little “puppy” or should we raise her to be a woman of righteousness and to let the light of God in her shine that she will be a good mate as well as smart and successful at whatever her gifts lead her to???
Stop with all this backwoods “w***y Lynch” c**p. The old guard must pass away. We are in the now. Today you need THREE incomes to survive this beast and double the education. Stop trying to take sistahs backward and join her going forward.
Just remember there is no man without the Womb Man. Stop hating and start loving. Farakahn’s first teacher was his momma!
If Minister Farrakhan would devise and publish a three-step plan for Black America to pull itself out of this economic, educational, and moral slump, I believe that we as a people would listen and follow his lead. He’s about the only national Black figure to whom most of us will listen.
No more million-man march from which nothing was permanently gained! No more gathering just to gather and show America that we can come together for no real purpose.
Farrakhan needs to leave a legacy for Black America – not just the Nation of Islam. I am a devout Christian, and I am not about to look away from the cross. But Black people need a Moses to lead us out of bondage and into our Promised Land. Minister Farrakhan can get the job done, if he can lead a religiously diverse community of Blacks who are mixed, inter-racially married, and not about to embrace Islam.
Will the good minister give Black America a three-point plan? And will those of us who recognize that Black America is in deep trouble do something ouselves? Like treating every Black man, woman, and child as if they have worth? Like treating other Blacks regardless of economic condition, educational level, or skin-deep characteristics as if they are the best in America?
Let’s always find something for which we can compliment a Black child. Let’s acknowledge each other’s presence in public places by simply saying “Hi”. Let’s all start a business to serve Black folk with unmatched service or with superb products that Black folk use regularly. Let us make a conscientious effort to spend money with our own people just like other ethnic groups do and keep stepping up and over us on the economic ladder.
If we do not begin a vigorous campaign ourselves right now to arrest the madness of loose morals such as “shacking”, out-of-wedlock children, a quest for “a*s and grass”, and a disdain for higher education, then we will continue to be the “mules of society” and the slaves which Americans of all other ethnic groups expect us to be.
I have a question for all the posters. What is the difference between being a Man/Woman and being male/female? They are neither the same nor synonyms. There is power in words and words have meaning, so please think before you speak/post. One is an act of chance (biology) a 50/50 proposition by nature…either male or female. We have no control over that! The other is an act of WILL.
@ J.D. 3 point plan?
Three Point Plan:
1.Accept that existence in this country is toxic. Turn off your cable/satellite subscription or at least subscribe to those stations that educate us about us. Amerika was and is still founded on the immoral idea that, above all else, privilege and land are the basis for this country; and where the first to show what the concept of “by any means necessary” looked like.
2.As many in our history have stated over and over again, it is through self reliance that we will stand as a free people. Buy a cable station. Start a production company. Buy LAND…block by block then city by city till the State reflects our efforts.
With just our discretionary income, that is money left over after ALL the bills are paid, after we have bought groceries, after weed and alcohol, after filling our Hummers and Escalades, after bus/train passes and clothing for work – school – church, after makeup and nails, and lastly what we spend on hair both male and female; we have a people have more money left over than the country of Brazil. What do We OWN…and why don’t we have more to show. This has been done before, though out our history it is time to do this again; and never again shall we let them burn our “Black Wall Street”.
3.“Each one Teach one” by Every means necessary.What would it take to have Geoffery Canada, Marva Collins, and the Minister design our educational program. What would take for each of us to speak up when we see that which we no is wrong to the young ones and to the older young ones? To paraphase Ms Tubman…we could free a thousand more…
Drum Major for Truth
Minister Farrakhan represents freedom, like the word says, “the truth shall set you free”. When you are free from the fear of “this world” you’re free to tell it like it is. Your whole demeanor changes, you stand taller, speak clearer, demonstrate courage, intelligence, honesty, exemplify integrity, morality, decency, love, kindness, respect for self and others. Not moved by “things” of this world seeking self-glorification or accolades of men, but desiring to do our “Father’s will”, helping the outcast, the lowly, the widow. Calling sin for what it is “sin”, not bowing to idols, fame and fortune. Seeking and sharing truth wherever you go, rightfully dividing the word of truth. Minister Farrakhan demonstrates what “every” blackman is capable of becoming “if” he releases himself from the “things” of this world and seek God the Father in spirit and in truth.
Slavery may have something to do with some ppl behaviour, but we beat up on ourselves to much. Around the world there is a lot of madness going on, we need to find out about other ethnic groups and their troubles. White society in America is not innocent or totally moral, how many black men are serial killers. Drug taking is more prevalent agmonst whites according to stats, and types a s****l crime are committed also, and you have multi dollar white collar crime, even crime that are done on paper can cause more deaths than all the so-call black on black crimes.Here in England black commit more street crime and some sell drugs , but the biggest drug dealers, the king pins are European and Chinese. Human are Humans we almost fall in the trap the white man has set for us, he is always putting us down and we just help him when we do the same. Yes we must all try and improve but let us use the word black less because most human weakness are are just that . If you believe the story about Cain and Abel you could ask yourself, why was Cain a murderer who influenced him, what negativity in his past made him a killer, he had no rap music, no telly, no internet, yet he became a killer. Maybe it was something lurking in him are he just allowed Jealousy to get the better of him. But saying all that I strongly believe more young people need to understand who they are, understand how family life was destroyed during slavery and how can we as a people built strong families again, African like most cultures had strong believes concerning marriage, puberty and manhood, today in Black American and Black Britain we don’t value these things, in fact from slavery we lost the power to built strong families based on marriage first then children that concept keep society together, people know where they stand children feel secure. But i’m not saying thing were perfect in the past every generation has it fault. How can be built families again without recognising we are one people, and one people need strong leadership that can create these value again, it most also come from the leaders of the country. What I’m really saying that it most come to a point in of community the black teenagers from a young age know the there main aim in life is to built a strong family,and all the other thing is built around that, unless they want a single life, but a single life don’t mean that the male are female is spreading themselve around the place messing up potential partners for other young people, thats the problem we have today, to much young people and olders are having s*x around the place and no one can’t settle because be they have to much emotional baggage.This problem is big but I believe its the solution. We need to know who we are, we need to link with some one who know who they are, we create children in a loving relations, not a one night stand, or I just want his baby mentallity. We bring up our children with love and disapline, and they see mummy and daddy loving each other, thay can’t help but want the same for themselves ad the cycle goes on.How many young people have that, very little. That what i gave my kids, with my wife for 26 years, and ll my kids know is love. My boys have never been and they want to be married then have their children and I’m not judging anyone, just putting forward what I think works better because it worked for me. We need to scorn our young people when they have babies without commiting to a long term relation, make them feel bad, that what other societies to. Then we can love them afterward.
I love your comment. Thank you for the truth. Good points.
Thanks for your insightful and helpful post. I agree so much with the negative people sleeping around with s*x and the emotional baggage it creates for all, really.
Many people enter relationships hoping for what you have with your wife, only to find out they were tricked into having s*x only. It ruins it for the next person you become involved with, creating distrust and resentment. Both males and females should know that this affects our overall breakdown of family and society.
Perhaps you can continue to post helpful insights in the future.
Minister F.is absolutely correct.We as a Black Nation have been broken,stripped of our Pride an Heritage.Now um not saying back to the Motherland.But what I am saying is,Each one teach one Black values an love,should be taught as well as shown.There’s always HOPE people.
First step is to:1- stop the war between all of our people on each other expecially between man, woman and political groups 2- educate our children by fighting the school board in or community. 3- start opening stores in our own community by our people and stop suppporting other ethnic groups that don’t even hire us. 4- stop the PET NAME (n****r) 5- teach our young people that ghetto fabulous means holding your head down in the sand and pretend that brand names means respect. 6- go out to vote 7- stop being a crab in the barrow, if one of us has one foot in the door, put your foot there also that you can keep the door open for more of us 8- stop believing that if a persons hair is streight he is better than you are 9-teach your young that dope is only made for dopes. 10-teach all that education is the only way out of h**l. 11- teach our churches to band together in teaching that God helps those who help themselves. GOD LOVES YOU. Now show love for yourselves AS WELL. Mr. Farrrakhan is not perfect, but he is trying to make you open your eyes. You have good ideas, work with him. put your ideas together and lets become one. That is one of our problems. Each one of us is smarter than the other. If you don’t believe that, then come to some of our meetings an listen to us bicker over who is smarter. So we knock instead of banding together. How else can we get it together. Do you know?
Struggle makes you strong. Which is why a lot of White people are afraid of Black people. What the good minister said is true but we must act and believe that we as a people are changing for the better and not let old dogmas, and trains of thought, control our thinking. There is a private Black High school I just read about that has 100% enrollment in college. Not to mention the illustrious Black President we have. Most people know he is the best President we have had in quite a while. Evidence of the fact that we are a better people and things are changing. They know it also or he wouldn’t have been elected.
I was rear a Catholic and will always be a Catholic. As a young man inquest of peace and insight I practiced all the great religions: Islamism, Hinduism, Buddhism, other Christian faiths, Taoism . . . In my search I read most of the books of classics, philosophy, and theology. However, I returned to the faith of my family, the Catholic Church, for in my 25 years of quest I found that the Catholic Church is the Church of Peter, the Church which was founded by Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, I must thank Minister Farrakhan for his great teachings and ask him to: Please Min. Farrakhan, please continue to teach us, not only we your people but all peoples who aren’t afraid to hear the monstrous history of America and its white ideology. I won’t be voting for Obama again, I rather vote for Mitt Romney who, I believe, will do more for us than Obama. Obama has us at his back and into the poor house. What good is a Black man in the White House if he isn’t doing “anything” to help Black people?
I concur, based on 74 years of experience as a Black MAN. It was, and still is, difficult to be strong and credible. Moreover, it is extremely disappointing how few of us are strong, bold and representative of what true MEN are to be. Thanks Minister Farrakhan.
I Totally Agree With Minister Farrakhan. This Racist c**p Is Making Me Madder And Madder Everyday.
RETURNING TO THE DAYS RACIST LOVED THE BEST
By: David W. Johnson, Jr.
Well Brothers and Sisters, we have another wakeup call
A New Law Allows Loaded Guns In Our National Parks
Will we now have even more of our names on deaths wall
Nothing but more hatred and racism will such laws spark
Would they pass a law like that for Inner-City Citizens?
Course not; they do not care about their lives being saved
They consider us losing our lives as merely misdemeanors
These people prefer us in our graves or have us re-enslaved
Firearms will remained banned in federal buildings
Can be carried in private lodges & concession stands
To Our Children, a lot more deaths these type laws brings
Hey, let’s take control of our lives into our very own hands!
Doesn’t have anything to do with Race, a lot of you will say
Pass laws that if not hunting only police can carry weapons
For some politician’s stupidity, with dead bodies, we will pay
Very, very soon African Americans will loose lives by the tons
Do I believe African Americans will be the only ones dying?
No but the racists does not care if non-racist loose their lives
When we loose our lives they like seeing our loved ones crying
No more college degrees, they want us killed by guns or knives
Who in their right minds would want guns around little babies
If it is done illegally, that’s one thing but making it legal is crazy
Such people should be locked in a cage with wolves with rabies
Unless we protest this law, we truly are sorry, worthless and lazy
Chris W. c*x, NRA’s chief lobbyist, is a supporter of the law
Probably consider African Americans nothing more than pest
Even think we should still be in fields picking cotton or bailing straw
WAKEUP, we are “Returning To The Days Racist Love The Best”
Poem is tight.
I agree it has been a very rough road for us, but only us can get ourselves out of this problem. Stop listening to rap, watching tv. Being told how to act, what to say, what to do, is killing us. Farrakhan, with his own flaws, I respect because he talks about what we need to do to thrive. Education and self-respect is paramount.
Recently I did an experiment. I dyed my hair and added some clip ons. After years of intense study of psychology
and sociology, I already knew the impact/results/effects of one’s appearance in regards to how an illusion can impact one’s life in relationships, acquiring good paying jobs, automatically getting respect, etc., etc., etc. What was shocking in this self induced experiment was the positive treatment, attention from men and women (of course, mostly men) almost to the point where I was being worshipped. Actually, it literally made me sick to my stomach of how make-up and fake hair instantly made a goddess of me. I am in my sixties and was getting “catcalls” from young men young enough to be my grandsons. I know the history of my people very well! But the genie is out of the bottle and it would take a miracle to put it back in. What it is, is what it is.
Black men destroyed me. Because of the b***h they had. I am better than that therefore at 52 I am in college so I can live without them! SOrry but thats how it is! Stop downing a god black woman when you have one and taking advantage of her. When I find a good black man I will repost until then…Doin ME with celabacy! Sad but true!
@ KIM I’m so sorry you feel that way. But I’m more sorry you were disrespected and traumatized by black men. I am glad you are in college and doing you. I pray the spirit will guide you in your purpose and love you for the QUEEN you are. Don’t give up elder sister. The spirit of love is still in you and needed to LIGHT the way for those of us still in the dark.
Much love

Here is a poem I wrote and hope it blesses you! I wrote this poem one night, it was like I could feel the pain of the sistas….
Tears of a Black Womb Man
By Mozlyric ©2012
w***y lynch wrote a story, came between us, made you believe I Lost faith in you.
If you hadn’t lost sight of me, you would have realized I had to do what I had to do.
Do you think I supported him humiliating you and stripping you of your manhood?
You are Bone of my Bone, Flesh of my Flesh, I thought you understood.
In his jealous rage, w***y beat you down and took you away from me.
And like a thief, he molested me in the darkness thinking his wife couldn’t see.
But she saw, made my life a living h**l, and then set her sights on you.
Now I’m the w***e, your concubine and she’s become the wife you’re married to.
Patriarchy replaced Matriarchy, followed by feminine suppression and nation oppression.
Strange gods say it’s ok to take me and rape me, plunging me further into depression.
If I’m not being covered up head to toe, I’m being pimped in stripper’s clothes.
My momma raised me to be a lady, but I get more attention being a ho.
I’m confused, you say I’m loud, I’m ugly, and I got too much drama.
Yet you want me to give you a little head, some a**l s*x then can’t stand me as your baby mama.
Yeah I have fallen; I know the goddess in me is ashamed.
The fruit of my womb is now the curse of my womb for this I take the blame.
Scholars STILL trying to keep me in the back of the bus so I can re-learn my place.
But as long as you emasculate me, we will remain a nation down on our face.
w***y is still lying to you. Why you keep falling for his propaganda?
If you believe I can’t get a man or I’m full of disease then you might as well believe in Santa.
Hold up. Rewind. I have a confession. I don’t always have it together.
I have been vulgar in my struggle, but it won’t last forever.
Soon I will remember I’m made in the image of the Eternal. I have lost sight of my Cosmic Mother.
From between my thighs galaxies were born, the Universe is my Lover.
See, I don’t care what w***y says because now I’m writing the script.
Don’t trip! It’s me and you baby at the helm of the Mother-ship.
I never stopped loving you my black brother, even tho we forgot how to communicate.
It’s time to renew our courtship. Let’s get to know each other this time before we decide to lay.
Look at me. You are me and I am you.
Hold my hand. One and one make Two.
So let’s tell w***y to kiss our a*s, give him the finger, turn our back and walk away.
I’ve cried enough tears for the whole of us, 400 years and a day.
@Blossom,
Thank you! Please do pass the poem on to others. I’m contemplating making a video out of it and publishing it on you tube.
More sistahs and bruthas need to overstand how black women HAVE NOT abandoned our families to become independent from our families.
While there are triflin’ sistahs amongs us, for the most part many of us just do what we got to do, point blank. I’m completely fed up with negative propaganda pointed in our face. We get it from the media who say we can’t get a man or we are disease ridden with Aids. We get it from white chicks who think they can “school” us on how to treat our men. We get it from ourselves, because some of us hate on each other and sleep with their friends man. We get it from religious leaders and so called scholars who are always trying to put us on the “back of the bus”. We get it from white men who refer to us as “nappy headed hoes”. We get it from our own men who complain, complain, complain yet won’t stand up for REAL serious issues that are plaguing our communities much less stand with us and protect us and our black children.
I can go on for days because I KNOW better. I am educated and currently pursuing a PH.D at the advisement of my BLACK HUSBAND. Because he does respect my intelligence and realizes I have a lot to offer to the world. I take care of my domestic responsibilities and I am a faithful hard working sistah who is completely NATURAL.
And quite frankly it takes a special man to be MY MAN. Because he gonna have to have strength and rightness in his heart to deal with my spiritual energy. Which is why I believe so many black dudes turn to white women. Ain’t a white woman I know that can match the love energy of a black sistah who got herself together or her tenacity and intelligence. That’s why we get playahated on jobs and in every industry including the MUSIC industry that is black male dominated with regard to so-called HIP HOP. I will challenge (in a positive way) any man to be that which he claims himself to be! You better believe it….ask my husband or my sons LOL!
Personally I don’t know why black men are crying. All these black male religious zealots, political leaders, media personalities, hip hop moguls, sports figures in the lime light and black males STILL don’t have their sh*t together? And then want to PUNK OUT and blame a woman for their/our problems?
PLEEEEEEEESE. Give me a d**n break! A dog may be a white man’s best friend, but a BLACK WOMB-MAN is and always has been a black man’s best friend.
I suggest these brother’s come up out they diapers and remember who they are and who we are. We are the solution to our own problem.
Thank you Blossom for your thoughtful comments I’ve read throughout this thread. I pray the poem will be a blessing to ALL who have “ears to hear”.
Kindly,
mozlyric
A house that is divided can not stand! Each one reach one, teach one, love one, affirm one. I love Farrakhan also and appreciate the fact that he has been trying to unite with spiritual leaders from various faiths to come together and bring healing to the black community. However satan continues to do what he has always been allowed to do and that is divide and conquer. We recognize that the system is wicked and corrupt and racism is a matter of the heart that only God can heal but in the MEAN time we must take responsibility for our choices and recognize that we determine our paths. There are those that can throw obstacles in our paths to make it harder for us however slavery has shown that the strong have survived and are still suriviving. But it is time for us to do more then survive but live!
Louis Farrakhan is right on point. Black people here in America are destined and will always be subjected to poverty. The laws govern it and the lawmakers and corporations make sure of this.
If black people had any sense they would have heed to words of Marcus Garvey and go back home to Africa. America is no place for the black diaspora. Collectively we dont even own our economics. How can us black people as a collective have any say when we have taught for centuries that to get ahead you must do it yourself. Take a look in predominantly black communities – aside from barber and hairdresser shops there is nothing else. Black people as a collective is doomed in this country. And as harsh as it may sound i believe this to be the truth. If every black man marched out of this country and go back to Africa, believe it wouldnt be as worse as it is right now.
Physical slavery and the mental chains of self-hatred and absolute dependence on the racist European devils were instituted ruthlessly by the racist European devils.The Europeans mis-educated Afrikans then and now to believe that Europeans were the standard of beauty and were superior to Afrikans.What we must learn from our past is that Afrikan men and women were played against each other in order to maintain European domination then and we must not allow ourselves to be fighting each other today because this infighting only maintains European domination.Unite and work together Afrikan men and women and destroy European imperialism worldwide so that our children and us can be truly free as Marcus Garvey taught.Up you mighty Afrikan race,we can achieve and must achieve our Liberation and Independence.Never doubt ourselves.We must win.Amen Ra be praised.
If ever a ‘pimp-in-the-pulpit’ could make a dollar from such a yarn, this could be it! Some people can fall for anything!!
Scary that hate groups like the N.O.I. and others are embraced by so many Black People. There hatefulness renders whatever “truth” contained in their message irrelevant. How can you preach hatred of a race while you try to uplift your own? At the end of the day the “Black People That Liberals Don’t Want To Talk About” are the Tea Partiers of the Left. Don’t be those rednecks. Farakhan is a small and narrow man.
h**l TO BLACK WOMAN,,I NEED ME ONE,,,ANY SINGLE BLACK WOMEN LOOKING FOR MAN?IAM HERE
Ok what now? can’t blame the white man. Plus if we don’t get our lives together Allah will destroy black people too.
Quit blaming the white man and the devil for our stupidity.
I don’t think think the way that black women wear their hair is much of an problem as the way that black men and women disrespect each other!Some black men are alway’s talking about the way black women wear their hair,but soon as becky comes aruond with her tan some go crazy!black women are more than their hair it’s an personal choice,just like some black men choose to be on the down low,which is an lot more serious!Black people continue to have serious issues,after all weve been through it appears we stil don’t like each other!I HATE IT!
Problem:
Too many of our people fail to want to make an honest effort at learning to understand the importance in discipline. I state this because our people are faced with a generation who feel “entitled” rather than feeling the need to earn and learn. I also must state that we’re in an age where kids fail to want to discover and find out the meaning of a word called discovery. Faced with the challenge at knowing who we truly are, we as a people are failing to institute the need to create a curriculum to answer the challenge of of multiculturalism that has been instituted to replace “black history”. One of the first things we can do is learn the history behind the school we each attend. When you learn the story behind the school then you learn a little bit more behind the story of your people because learning the history of the school also tells you the history of the area at the time the individual lived whom the school was named after AND why. It’s all about knowing about them as well about learning of yourself.
We’ve got to realize that what we’re really up against is an establishment which is keeping a serious amount of history hidden from us thus those of us who have gone to college and truly are in the know need to understand where we really need to go……and that’s to return back to our neighborhoods and enlighten our own arenas.
Example: Many of our people do not realize what the word “slave” truly means. The word “slave” has another meaning other than the one mentioned and introduced to us here in the North Americas. The actual word, slave actually had realistic value whereas the individual once cleared of his debts was released from all restrictions and granted complete and total freedom. The slave neither was beaten nor embarassed but held all respect and was treated as a human being. The slave that we’ve been introduced here in the United States was degraded and humiliated and looked upon in the lowest regard. My point, is that once again we’ve been denied a true education and thus have a serious need to be re-educated. THIS is why I state we’ve a SERIOUS need to create and establish this Black Curriculum. No one can teach our kids whats right for them except us and as long as we allow them to teach our kids then we’ve NO CHANCE to TELL OUR STORY!
I have always agreed with his opinions. This opinion is so on point it’s about time someone said it aloud. Black men are turning their backs on black women trying to fix what has been caused by this dynamic. It will never work. Sad but true.
CONTINUE TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE WHOLE TRUTH. AMERICA IS GUILTY OF A CRIME MORE DEVASTING THAN ANY STORMS CAN MUSTER. MINISTER FARRAKHAN REALLY IS OUR SOREJOINER FOR TRUTH. I REALLY CAN RELATE TO HIM NOW. IT IS NOTHING PHONY ABOUT THIS MAN.
Some of you all are Misguided Miseducated like Tarittie Calling The Blacknation a Race? When the Blackman is the Original Man! The Root of Every Other Nation.In about 1957 when McCarthyism was going on & Paul Robeson was being Targeted by the FBI’s Cointelpro which got rid of Communist party USA,American Indian Movement,Black Power Movements Spearheaded by Gay Edgar Hoover.This was Why Malcolm was killed & MLK a Memorandum was put out by the FBI to stop the Rise of the so-called Black Messiah who could Unify & Electrofy the Black Masses! In that Watergate Burgarlry this is how these Documents got out! The Split of Malcolm & His Teacher was Set-up by your Government.The FBI rented that BallRoom 2 Months before Malcolm spoke there to set it up! The Man who Gave Malcolm CPR at the scene was a FBI Agent & Malcolm’s Head of Security in his Organization! Marcus Garvey was set up the same way for 25 dollars mailed to him & sent to Federal Prison.Crackers want us to be blamed for killing our own when it was always them to hold on to power! My Uncle was a Panther he felt like he was being watched & was Agents was all in the Organization they would try to Criminalize our Organizations when we love our People! My Grandfather worked for THEM he would be late sometime & THEM would call from Chicago & say Brother you should be open at 9 not 9:30 lol he would keep us on point! Mr Muhammad told the Believers to leave Malcolm & His Family Alone! If you went to attack the Brother we would have known you was an Agent! The House where Malcolm lived was owned by us so why would we firebomb our own Property?Sound like Crackers lol
when will stop blaming the white man and hold ourselves accountable for what goes on in the black community. did the fbi plant those pork chops in alajah muhammads refrigertor and impregnant those young black women while under his leadership?
The statement that Black women have destroyed the black race is in fact true. Black women are undermining our progress for instance, with by loving preachers more than their own husbands, being friends with their children, expecting too much from black men when the black man is struggling to be successful. Black women talk too much about nothing. They do not believe in taking any risk with opening up businesses with their husbands. They are constantling embarassing the black race. Black women love to worship white men and white women. They love their sones and raise their daughters. They paticipate with and cooporate with our oppressors be they white, hispanic, Asian, Arab, etc., against their own people. They spend money with everybody but us most of the time and have the nerve to talke our children with them to teach them to do the same. Then they wonder why they are called b’s and h’s, because they act just like that in every way, then gets angry at the black man whom she ties to keep oppressed. Now run and tell that black women. You have a serious mental problem, I know this because I am married to one. Say I am not telling the truth about you! If you disagree then you are probably a lier as well. It is hard to find a virtuous black women. You have allowed your oppressor to turn you against your own race. You are lost.
leave that slavery s**t in the past mother f*****s still talk about that s**t like they was slaves
Amen, Minister Farrakhan. You always speak the truth, and that’s wht the powers in AMerica are afraid of you. Too bad you are not “our” candidate for president.
I don’t share Farrakhan’s religious beliefs, but he speaks nothing but the truth where it concerns the descendants of African slaves community in America. The problem is how we continue to view our women with disrespect, so much so that we feel no deep connection to her as the mother of our kids, our sister, or our daughter. A family needs a mother AND father supporting a child to grow up fully functioning in this world and the reason so many of us are flailing is because there are too many single parent homes. And now we should address gay rights cause the civil rights movement is ‘over’? Don’t fall for this deliberate act to distract us from the true problem. The churches need to tackle depression from a almost 60% unemployment rate, the increase in black men in prison, and the struggles of the single mother.
I THOUGHT I WAS ALL BY MYSELF. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN THE RESPONSE TO THE FARRAKHAN VIDEO, I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER. ALL IS NOT LOSS. WE ALL HAVE TO SPREAD THIS VIDEO AND MESSAGE ALL OVER AND AS POSSIBLE. AND I’M CATHOLIC.
Typical answers from African-Americans on this blog. You read, you understand, you DON’T act.
It would be great if African-Americans would follow the advice of Minister Farrakhan but they are to lazy and to brainwashed.
African-Americans have been trained well in the disrespect of themselves and each other…it is to late for them to change…a lost people in America.
Because of the shame, the Father assault his families and found lovers who they couldn’t love, but need to feel like a man with. The suicide of their soul, the stress of feeling like a person who’s family see them being portrayed by Polices and the Media as a weak person, a lazy person, not the strong person who take care of his family.
so how do we start to heal, its going to take the act of God to fix the black family. so much corruption.
I’m like Mr Parker from The First Friday d**n Devil !!!
Sharon Shazz it’s always a BlackAngloBrainDeadNegro like you a Bad Apple that Need to be Cast Out! Most People love to Worship Everybody but Allah(God) the Real Father that Isa Jesus told us all to Worship but we love as a Freed Slave to Personality Worship in the Case of Brother Malcolm He Messed Up when He left his Teacher & was trying to Come Home but the Agents in the Ranks would not allow this! Ali Farrakhan and others knew That it was a Full Court Press on the NOI. When you are Uncontious like we were & are you love the person whom Brought you to like Brother Malcolm did for the Lost Found So-called Negroes Waking them up so they loved Him but love is Hate it’s the same Emotion going in the Opposite Direction! We don’t waste our time Hating Whites because we know why they are the Way they are & Hate is a Waste of Time! I got the photo in My House from 1960 When Malcolm Imam Warith Deen Mohammed The Hon Elijah Muhammad Min Farrakhan all made their Hajj ! Once anybody accepts Islam we can not refer to them as a Devil! Most of these Negroes speaking on Malcolm are on the outside Looking in & Dumb as a Brick! Malcolm was set Down by His Teacher for not Following Directions! Malcolm wanted Us to go Shoot the Police & we were not ready for this because most Negroes love these Devils more than their Selves! Most Negroes are like Frankenstein’s Monster! These Jews Own these Scary Negroes they Bought & Paid for! We will need to pay them a Visit if we really want to be Free! I don’t even talk to alot of these fools under 30 the Whiteman got them on remote Control ! d**n Cowards Allah hates a coward you’re finished!
For the 900th time All you Negroes The Honorable Elijah Muhammad had Wives! You can’t Hide Children & all His Children are Giants! Crack open some Books & turn that b**b Tube off Dummy! I was Born into the Nation & I never knew a Teenager doing nothing! This was Grown Men Business Mr Muhammad is a Man & takes care of His Children some of these Brothers are on Wall Street while these other Negroes Sleeping on the Street! COINTELPRO aim was to Disrupt & Discredit all our Leadership MLKing,d**k Gregary a Snitch Jacket was put on our Brother & He is still Down,The Hon Elijah Muhammad who told us that we would suffer for being Lazy stop listening to your open Enemy & go ask your own Brother or Sister! I’m not the type Nosey MF all in everybody’s Business get to work for self & Kind! That’s between them & God I am not in the position to Judge Anyone I have my own short comings! Keep it moving like interstate Cargo! Look & see if they are fighting for our people that’s all you need to know!
The one thing a white man is scared of is an INTELLIGENT BLACK MAN, ie Obama, we need to raise up more of them
Correction: Barack is Bi-Racial
Mother is white and not black.
Father is an African sellout, but we wouldn’t have our first mixed President without them.
See black women, you are NOT the one that today’s black males are seeking out.
Get in where you fit in.
Is that the best you can do, we are still our own worst ememies….
Since you have made your decision that Black women are not a part of your life, why do you continue to try having conversations with us? Move on and stay out of Black people’s business.
You are obviously mentally ill.
It’s not the color that frightens me it’s the stupid ideas. A white man will hire a black woman before he/she hires a black man. A white man will lock up a black man for the same crimes that white men get probation for. While locked up a black man will have s*x with other black men. Gets infected with AIDS, comes out and starts sleeping with with every woman in the neighborhood, and so goes the time bomb. It does matter what ideas you think!!!!!!!
As long as the black economy is tied to whites willing to hiring them, there will never be blacks in position who will speak the truth like Minister Farrakhan on blacks doing for self in order not to be beholden to the powerful status quo in america.
If the real history was taught black men and women would understand that they should not allow negative views of their race to take place.
Black men need to clean up their lyrics, pull up their pants, get educated, and respect their women. Stop allowing the white man to “beat them up.”
If you can find the video “Hidden Colors” please watch it and you will learn so much history that not only has been HIDDEN, but DESTROYED. I learned from all your comments!
ACTOR JAMIE FOXX AT SOUL TRAIN MUSIC AWARDS: ‘GIVE AN HONOR TO…OUR LORD & SAVIOR BARACK OBAMA’
One more reason we are held in low regard, you should see the comments from black and whites. It’s all over the net, I read comments on http://www.theblazecom.
Foxx’s comment on a nationally aired program, may explain why we are held in such low regard, check it out.
