while beloved brothers and sisters we have gotten to that time where we are about to make history we're about to hear from our teacher our leader but also because we love black history but this man is walking black history this man was born and nineteen fifty three he's going to be eighty years old next year and he has much more life in them than most of us in our twenty's and thirt he purchased farmland for black people a stablished schools for black people institutions for black people he is the publisher of the world's most widely circulated black newspaper the final call in one thousand nine hundred ninety four he took two thousand black people back to africa from the west as many of us talk to but talk about back to africa he brought us back to africa connected us with our brothers and sisters in the motherland in one thousand nine hundred five he led close to two million black men on the million man in two thousand and four because the international conference on reparations and the year two thousand he held the million family march and he renewed the marriage vows of tens of thousands of black couples including whitney houston and bobby brown and will smith and j d pinkett smith he called on black men to be good fathers and husbands brothers within that community protectors and mentors for the black youth who were going to straight because they're not black woman to be virtuous kind mothers teachers within the sixteen years but don't just be in attendance for the novelty of being in the presence of a man who's been on the front page of almost every international magazine almost every american newspaper it's not just about that it's not just about coming here to bask in the glory of the presence of a man who was voted as one of the top one hundred most influential individuals in the twentieth century it's not just about that the it but it is about  relationship forming an organization and movements uniting and pulling our resources here in trinidad and tobago because our backs are against the wall and so what we hear today we cannot just rejoice and celebrate that he was here we have to continue living the message and motion continuing on with the leadership that he gives us so that when he is gone we can make him proud and make our sons proud by continuing on with the instructions guidance and operations that he would leave with us let us not disappoint ourselves by going back to sleep it is time for us to wake up if the state of emergency alone last year was not enough to wake you up or let you know what's going on in this country as black people i don't know what will wake you up so let us take this as a call of the end let us take this as a last chance a final warning the conclusion of any opportunities that we may have had before let us take advantage of the wisdom that we have within our midst right now so  beloved brothers and sisters i bring before you your leader my lead to your teacher my teacher the national representative of the honorable elijah muhammad of the nation of islam i bring before you the honorable minister in the name of allah that be nefesh the merciful we thank him for all of his prophets and messengers and the scriptures which they brought we thank him for moses and the torah and the israel light prophets that gave us the old testament we thank him for jesus or esau as we say in arabic who gave us the in geo or the gospel and for the apostles that gave us the new testament evening i share with you as a student who is still trying to get my degree not my degree from this world that is not necessary for me but the scripture says the wisdom of this world is as foolishness with god and i think we have done enough food ness to last for a life time what we need to day is not more miss education that murdered not necessarily with the rope or cat o nine tails of the gun but murdered men so that we exist on a dead level a horizontal level and when you live on a horizontal level you are either asleep or you dead and if you don't sleep anybody can rule you and if you're dead you can't see you can't hear you talk you can't walk so a dead man has to be moved by those who are alive so in both the bible and the quran it talks about the time of the resurrection of the dead and i know that we have thinking that from the biblical point of view it from it will be blown and all the people in the cemeteries are going to get up not so the koran says it like this response me till the day when they raise god is talking to the devil and the i will come after them in your straight path i'll come to them from before them from behind them from their left side from their right side i'm going to make all of them trinidad but if you're on a dead level and you're a he's not even to forty five degrees but to thirty three degree you're crawling you're not up yet god says he created man in the nature of right ness and if you don't have at least ninety degrees of knowledge you can't walk right so your children that mother gave birth to the first year of life teaches itself you don't teach it to crawl you don't teach it to walk you don't even teach it to talk it observes you you go walking then it starts crawling and when it finds something strong enough to pull up on it starts pulling up from a dead level into rightness it staggers a little soon it learns to walk shortly thereafter it learns to talk you need something strong to pull up  something that you can hold on to that will give you some strength to stand up like the greek people that we once were or brother farrakhan i don't know whether we need all of that well i think black people have been in political power in trinidad for how many years now  something is wrong with that  something is wrong we've been in power but the blacks are still in the worst condition of the people of trinidad and tobago chinese doing all right lebanese doing all right syrians doing all right indians doing all right something is wrong with the leadership that if we could be in power and yet have no power then political power is symbol without substance if it is not accompanied by economic strength and  my father was from jamaica i wasn't nurtured in the west indian tradition by my father i didn't know him but i thank god for  but you have to thank god for your father because it was that life that made it possible for a mother to conceive us to nurture us and bring us forth in this hostile world i thank god for my father thank him for my mother but my mother was a strong black west indian woman my father was a but my mother a strong black woman she was so strong i didn't even miss not having a father she was one of those kind of mother that she was determined that her children would not have to suffer and work for white people like she was doing she gave me the violin a five years old my brother the piano at six she sacrificed she was a master seamstress so she would work at night making comments for women and work days clean in the homes of white people i never saw dirt in my house i grew up in a very clean environment when i went to school i never had to look in my draw to see do i have a white shirt every draw all the shirts white all the shirts i and all the underwear washed and clean all the socks cleaned and rolled up living on hard times but that black woman taught me and she looked at me as i was going to music school and she said son i don't why you bring no white woman in this house tellin me you're in love you better bring someone in here that look like me and she made me to love black people and i'm telling you i feel very sorry for people who don't love who they are i feel very sorry for you because how could you tell me you love god and then hey the way god created you civilization you gave life to every nation on this earth genetically speaking me one very geneticists name in his men daily in law he said light skin is recess if dark skin is dominant light eyes  plaque people were not here white people could never have been in the beginning genesis says dr knew this was upon the face of the deep and god said let there be light so he brought light out i'm not a hate teacher i'm just a teller of truth any time you watch your children when they knew their babies when they learned to crawl what are they doing there discovering what they couldn't discover in the career white folk could not this cover the world in the hills and caves sides of europe before god sen them mostly us to raise them up so your bible says as moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so shall the son of man be lifted up we'll get to that in a minute here the caucasian lived in caves for two thousand years they didn't know how to cook their food or bury their dead am not making mockery they came from a cave existence but look at them now all because they heard the voice of a i'm saying they have made you the laughing stock of the world but today when you know the truth you could remind them that bible say they weren't even good enough to sit with the that's what the books is the koran says in the cave there was a dog there were two in the cave the third was the dog three in the cave before it was the dog is man's best friend and you say what a friend we have in jesus in you calling him i'm not here to make mockery but as that serpent they call him a serpent boy but boy i have to go there you have to walk with me they flick it out and if you notice them if they see you read in a book become what it is that meet them in the bus terminal or somewhere they engage you how are you oh you know such and such and soon they want to get you talking and the minute they find out where time deceiver tell me something how could you be born in sin and shaped in iniquity if somebody crooked has not been your teacher what you say my mother taught me my father taught me my preacher taught me and i read the bible is that why you're in the shape you hand back to me see if you were really top i wouldn't even have to be here if you were really how are you going to tell me that your life is not if you're born in sin it didn't mean that the sex act in and of itself is fan but when you're born in a world that has  that's everything god tell you don't do society say it's all right so the koran says the devil made evil fast seeming to them so you're drunk and you're happy you're high off for drugs and you happy you're impregnating many women walking away not taking care none of them and you happy talk to me they come and sweep seven thousand of your children off the street and you don't show up when a protests the majority of the caribbean countries have lost more than fifty percent of the labor force in tertiary education and more than thirty percent in the secondary education nine to twelve years in schooling tell me something if the labor force has lost fifty percent of those who graduate from college thirty percent of those who get a high school training was left i got some statistics today you have to tell me if it's true i'm going to ask you the doctors in trinidad and tobago i'm going to ask the politicians here and you can ninety nine percent have you been to the hospital how many black doctors i've taken care  listen to the people i'm just asking questions listen  i got another statistic here lawyer eighty seven percent of the lawyers in trinidad and tobago india and if they don't like you too good game fighting for justice for you but we sixty five percent of the judges black people how many of you eat chicken nobody somebody like in here you know do you eat chicken they tell me  hundred percent of the chickens produced by india now i don't know i just got these statistics today so you have to correct this if it needs correcting but listen if it's three  the first indians came to trinidad in what forty five how long had you been here before they long time they didn't come on duty in the holes of ships rob of the name the language their culture their religion being god their history they came with their culture and intact been named their language their religion their god and i know that if all your learned ones leave their your doctors they gone to england and the united states the lawyers that should be standing up for you gone england and united you don't have judges enough judges to listen to our cases and handle them with justice i look at this how much corruption has been in the and just because you can see it at home doing in love that don't make you know mostly me that i feel good for black suffering my son is telling me to take a drink the same page on room you know go to work how did the syrian jew own half the country i'm just raising a quite i don't know whether he knows but i know this long before him the deal was s how you turn your back on the land saw a beautiful documentary yesterday morning on barbadoes few white people own in huge trac what are they building three golf courses a polo ground and big beautiful mansion that none of us could live in except maybe to wash the floor change the beds and act like this leave that out great grandfather was how do you think your how how could they come to us and offer us money to sell out our people listen to me good listen the bible say the bible says but i must say this to you when you talk and back to me see it's easy for a man that a never been tried to talk you didn't hear me say you can sit and throw a stone from where you are but now we put you in the same pool incision and see if you've got  you know how great jesus is absolutely but that didn't stop him from being tried didn't see him up on the mountain come jesus come let me show you something that's what they do to our politicians that's what they do when you look like you are headed somewhere to call you come come come come  i will give you these cities to rule now for some that they can refuse but jesus said what did he say thee behind me satan let me tell you supped and in politics in government whatever job you got if money means more to you then you print up all their money they can they print it every day in new york i mean in washington dollar bills it don't cost much to print a hundred dollar bill so to offer you money to be cheery the future of your children and your people i want you to think about this because you get me and you no we're getting no where is our children why aren't there young people here i went to a college yesterday i see no young people i come to day what good is it for me to talk to you it's good but if the children your children are not here the sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty twenty four twenty five that is our future and if we can talk to the future then we did in the present now when you're dead and it's going to happen to everybody here right i don't care how much t fin you did in life some of your children stink in the sense stink in the sense that the scripture says the people were so wicked till they stunk in the nostrils of god i'm not trying to belittle us but we about the way we have lived our lives not caring about the next man not caring about the future keep going jesus was none of that open your bible well dust it off and then open it and see if you read matthew mark luke and john where jesus said he was a baptist a methodist never said that you say that well i'm shia that's you talking not the prophet well i'm salah free i am this i am that there's only  and jesus is left in the lurch because the christian house should be one one great community under the direction where did these divisions come from as long as jesus was in the world the community was one as long as moses was in the world the community was one as long as mohammed peace be upon these in the world the community was one it was only when the prophet left that these divisions start coming up but in trinidad and tobago and in the carrot being something strange has happened what happened farrakhan we were all brought here from africa to be made did we come here speak in english did we come with a god and a religion that was i was before we got here scratch your head a little oh god i had a religion or it must have been our name is on yes let the white man tell you you swing in some trees with some bone in your nose how in the hell could you build his world to swing in trees in africa talk to me we built the white house we built the congress we built the big mansions in the south and you did the same in trinidad tobago jamaica all throughout the caribbean you are  daylight say you were swinging in trees truth of the matter is when they brought us here the first thing they wanted to do cut them off from being a nation that israel may no longer be remembered in them so you can't even remember what that was so what they did to us made us dead mentally it socially d surely because they would not allow us to read or to learn to read but you were not just readers when you came here you taught white people how to read them ask them no no no no don't take my word i want you to go study now who taught plato who taught socrates do you think that early greek civilization started in greece or did it start in africa and if it started in africa why don't you all know what they taught socrates plato and you are here poor thing don't know nothing about yourself how could you pass nothing on to your children you know better than this but you are not teaching your children the past the pain the hurt that their that your ancestors came through so that they were known that the struggle is not all over the struggle continues we are not teaching them listen can you find a jewish person that does not teach their children the horror of the holocaust and didn't they make sure that you  how come you don't know you alex haley in the united states wanted to find his roots he was working for the reader's digest he only went to the fourth could you hear me share cropper on our southern plantation in georgia hard times he fled to detroit and there he met a man a man that i am going to talk about in a few minutes a man that came from the holy city of mecca you know arabia a man born of a woman a man and that man took a light fourth grade student and taught him three years and four months that's all and then went away and he lived would a fourth grade education
