min's only tour to call together black men to accept our responsibility to help stem the tide of crime and violence that is afflicting our communities throughout america nearly thirty thousand men showed up to hear the message of the honorable minister louis farrakhan fifteen thousand of those men were unable to get into the church and it was a sight to see as black men were standing all on the

faults but as i grew to be open minded and as i followed the leadership of the honorable louis farrakhan he taught me that labels don't mean everything and so i have the honor to introduce a christian pastor who has opened up his house to us and i ask you brothers to honor him as he has opened up our house i want to thank you that a lot of my friends would pull away from  and i want to introduce to you and i don't use your character at this moment because you know that no minister  of try and the more the first trial us bring us the bright eye character again and the person that i want to present to unite his camera to is radiant he's a humble person he's a man that god has done something unusual far her and now whole lot of people think he's afraid to michonne crites but he is a man that god has his hands on his a man that the creator of all things i love the reveal of all truth i love the send of all prophets to him alone do i submit and seek refuge we thank almighty god a lot for all of his prophets and for all of the scriptures that they brought to human beings we thank him for moses and the torah we thank him for jesus in the gospel we thank him for mohammad and  if i lived to be a thousand i don't think i could thank almighty god enough for his intervention in our affairs in the person of mastiff or rod mohammad the great man who came and searched among us for one who would deliver  to us a weighty word and that one is his messenger to us the honorable elijah mohammed a man who has unto you to the reverend c l jackson associate pastors ministers and students of islam reverend clergy community leaders teachers politicians brother  opened the door was of his hot in the dawes of this sanctuary to receive us my thanks to minister robert mohammed our minister here number forty five i think it is for your efforts in getting the word out that we were coming to the gentleman who came and brought money that we might have adverted smith on the radio of this meeting to each and every one of you who gave as much as a doll over one hundred dollars or a thousand dollars or the champion of the world who gave five thousand dollars to those who gave as little as a penny well those who had nothing to give but just were happy to be numbered among us thank you thank you thank have had these meetings now in four cities new york boston washington and now houston i'm very proud to say that i am humbled and grateful to almighty god for what i see in houston twelve to fourteen thousand men on the inside of this auditorium there's not a new look all rock on in this auditorium where there are millions like you there are thousands on the outside they tell me that the police say that they would at least thirty thousand people on the outside at one point they now down to fifteen thousand and i understand that the radio station one of the call letters k y ok i believe is trying to broadcast the message lie to the city special calling that each and every one of us need to understand you have been made to look at yourselves as nothing but tonight by the grace of god i want to tell you in just a few moments who you are and what is expected of each one of us on the tide of crime and violence that is afflicting our communities throughout america are not by your design but by the the wicked who are manipulating our ignorance to make us enemies of one another and we have become deprived as a community that it makes it difficult for somebody like myself or reverend jackson or others to teach us to love one another because wickedness is the mother of hate when people do you evil it's difficult to love them and if we have become the number one evil doers to one another we preaching a hatred now in our community that must breed self that god is is not some ten emotional feeling when you say god is love the word is is representative of an equal sign whatever is on this side of the equation is equal by what is on this side of the equation god is more than an emotion he's love must be the very essence of life itself so if you look at the word love l o v and the word life  and the foul o o is the interchangeable with any other vowel so when you say you have love you have life you have god yes when you have you have  you have a life as a people we do not love each other and a p p o we dare and therefore the grave we sleep in cannot praise god the grave cannot praise god and those of us who are dead in the hatred of self and not grow refined in existence so somebody has to come to show black people how to love themselves to love one another and when so when you don't have life you don't have love you don't have gone you are powerless because guard represents force and power and the feeling that others we are like she as the scripture teaches us and we have not had a good shepherd in front of us how do you know are you black man i want to talk to you tonight and i can guarantee you a few of that when you leave this auditorium tonight no in the south at think that's where we are here you know whenever somebody would come in to talk to black people w i don't want him disturbing my if he's a natural man he's going to like a woman are attracted to a female and you're li the natural attraction in male and female will give rise to sexual stimulation us it's not really a desire to create life or to procreate human species it's is a desire to have pleas a man does not need pleasure if he's doing nothing you know recreation and recreation recreation recruiting comes after work work not before were not in place of work but recreation come when god made a man he made the man to struggle he made the man to overcome difficulty he made the man to as a man if you don't have in a program you don't have any game you don't have any player plus you don't have any project that you are working to develop you don't nee nature make you feel you need a woman and a woman is made to feel she needs a man so we meet and we are attracted to each other and we fall in love with each other and that's wonderful and then sex follows and then without planning an accident takes  do know what to do brother when you don't have any money in your pocket and your children are at home crying how do you feel when you go ahead and your wife is working but you can't find a job you just graduated from texas southern texas christian some college and you go for a job and they tell you you're overqualified for this black women on television sitting next to nccam in all she's an ankle one of already fu feel the requirement they've hired a minority and a black ye but it's not you right and since you and i as a people have not learned how to create a job and you know it takes money in this you can be in the neighborhood and i tell you what you can make a lot of money if you start small and grew big here's what i want you to do mini look at the degeneration come on brothers i know it's paying for to be a black man in america real pleasure was never meant to come from a woman also i'm going to say that again way real pleasure was never meant to come from a woman women give men pleasure but real pleasure comes from creative thinking and then seeing what you think come into reality this reality from the money can house thousands that can be inspired to go out and make a difference in the world but as long each one of you is in pain as a black man in white america in pain we live with constant pain pain but god and us when you wake up in the moon a new look in the mirror and you don't think down inside you but this new avenue of opportunity to allow you to demonstrate greatness in this brief frustration this breeds in jealousy behind us at the heavyweight champion of the world as a black man you know we have always loved op champions because it's something to watch a man in a ring deal if you have no way to show it no opportunity to prove it yet then we end up worshipping the champ yet rather than worship stand to see a black man really family and his people so since two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time if the white male is going to rule then he must crush the black male white meal you are wrong because in reality because of white supremacy you believe that in order for you to survive as a white say that you will power less because they don't know you have power and as a man you can't function without p who does not have a real man is to imagine her connection to the master himself so she comes to church and she's so frustrated because she got three four five six seven eight nine ten children sometimes from four or five or six or seven or eight or nine  not a say she's dim our lives dispirited disenchanted and she comes to church and  and run up and down  dispirited when she's really looking for it's a real man of god in her life when church becomes a big show and it's small singing and shouting then into taming been real teaching been a man can get a grip on the word of god to empower the man to go out from the church into life and with what is out  thirty years ago rifle did not ever want to see a black man with a gun right in the south if you had a shotgun on your phone  foot would be lou careful how they come around you especially if you would use it because they know that things herds kill us so you couldn't get guns it was always a liquor store available to you know where the pain is coming from don't know why you in pain but you in pain because you're not productive and no man can be a man unless he's productive so  wright with what you profess you teaching young people and you know when they leave college most of them will not be able to use what they spent four years in college trying to and you have parties in your house and your friends come over and you get drunk and let them talk and get drunk and get drunk and laugh and tell  no no no no no no no no preach is a sad min to hear because most of them read the bible about a god but he ain't real in his life when white  believe in god god is your route but don't let white folk come to your house in the midnight hour you start saying like they say jesus say it on the cross my god why have you forsaken me because deep down inside some of the most cowardly people here the people who claim to believe in god you allow to  too much talk among past about women and too little talk about serving the needs of the people
