well at this time i would like to recognize brother philip mohammed who is organized the entire  thought i would like to give thanks to a brother my homage to given me a female student had the opportunity to introduce the minister minister parrikar he was born in may eleventh might seem thirty three and bronx new york he was raised by his mother who was a native of think kids along with his brother album she brought them up with a strong spiritual upbringing they were raised in roxbury massachusetts she taught them about responsibility and hard work the value of it along with that she taught them justice freedom an equality for our minister farrakhan along with his brother who made aware of the struggle that blacks had to face in america it seems like everything's been he's been trying to make a positive change to change things thank you all right  as gang affiliated in doing drugs and all that type of thing but he seemed to need to start this minister farrakhan he sees beneath all of that he wants so much for us he wants to educate us which is what we need to do in this nation we have so much potential that a lot of us don't rise above that but there's so much that we can do in this world that we need to just believe in ourselves and he sees that that's what he wants for all of us for everyone if on we give him praise and thanks for his mercy and his goodness to the members of the human family that whenever any member of the family messenger to me he gives scripture that contains what is called divine revelation by means of which he guy that people back to his favor and back to here is straight path as a muslim we believe in all of the prophets and the scriptures which they brought we make no distinction between the prophets because all of them come from one sauce they didn't bring all the religions that are in the world for if all of the religions in the world came from god then you could charge him with being the author of confusion and not of peace but if you look deep in the teachings of the prophets you find that they all taught basic  immutable truths and only those truths there was a message a contemporary message to heal the problems of that time so we believe in torah and the israel like prophets and the scriptures which they brought that is called the old testament we believe in jesus and the gospel  the in g and the apostles that gave to us the new testament and we believe in prophet mohammed it been up to love brought to the world the last i believe that almighty god has intervened in the affairs of black people in america and throughout the world because our condition demands god's intervention because we have been in america for four hundred and fifty years under oppression and at this hour we can say that no one fits the description of the lost sheep the last people more than the black man and woman of america and the world culture loss from our names our language our religion our god our history so as the scientists say as a tree without god the dead will rise thanks to the intervention of god those that have eyes but cannot see those who have ears but cannot people yet god has intervened in our affairs and it's time now for us to big guide it back to his straight path that we might once again return to his favor and be returned to that oh riginal position that we once held before our fall and what was that i am greeting words of peace many of you will boast of you have questions and you know that jesus did not speak english so when he met his disciples he didn't say hello hail has always been low he said peace be with you so if jesus were here tonight in atom eight and in hebrew and in arabic jesus would say not good morning because every morning is not good but every morning we want peace good evening we hope so but one thing is sure we want to offer you peace peace that comes from a careful delineation from the tone of the word of god peace that comes that no hand  that we came here in peace and it is peace that we offer to this university to this city to this state  thank you students of alabama a and m thank you so much you thank the president for not canceling this event and the rising south literally literacy school thank you so much fun not giving  now they say some pretty awful things about me and a lot if i was that bad i wouldn't come to hear me myself crime sixteen forcible sex crimes twenty nine robbery sixty three aggravated assaults four hundred sixty three burglaries did anybody come to help you out of this self hatred that causes us to inflict harm on each other did did anyone  when you invited others who came and paid handsome money for them to come and they spoken call our women the b word then used other some of the rabbis are meeting and they wanted to make better relations in the city between black and white that is a noble effort but let me ask this question how can you make better relations outside before you make better relations in how are you so clear on loving others while you neglect to teach your people to love themselves jesus said the greatest of all the commandments is to love god with all your heart soul mind and strength and the second commandment is alike on to it that you should love your neighbor as who let's drains because we say god is love but we don't live next door generally to whites we live next door to each other we are neighbors but black on black crime is on the trees we are neighbors but robbery and rape in this respect of our women is on the increase we live next door to each other but we are drunk on the weekends and now next month i'll be seventy nine years of age and i have never been arrested so tell me what am i hated when people come to hear what i had to they come drunk and they go away so we never reject those that are on the corner selling their bodies tonight we called them like jesus call mary magdalene but when she left  clean we called the drug addict we called the wine head we called the birdland the thief the low life we called those who disrespect their mothers and  fathers but yet when they have better people we go in the prisons and we correct murderous and taken on productive people and make them productive so for which one of these what have i done i haven't been to huntsville ever this is my farrakhan did it so why would you all gather together to say he shouldn't be here what are you a you know in the old days which may be he e in alabama mississippi louisiana georgia and even in other parts of the country they didn't like outsiders coming to disturb the plant so when an outsider came that master thought might upset the plantation mentality he would threaten the slaver don't go down to listen to him if you say you love god why don't you love the way god created you since he's the author of diversity he's the officer of all of this that you see so if he made if i don't like me how could i like the god who created me a lot of you are behind these bleaching creams the day you go to toys around us and you pass by a little black ball in fact they may not even have one there to buy a little white doll for your baby not a white children not going to pick up a little black doll they want to see themselves they have some degree of love for themselves they know how to work together in a and so i never would have made it hate that they build up for me they wonder why i am still living because some would be so happy if some would come in in my life but i'm here to tell all of this is one life you i'm not only good for black people but i'm good for you too yes i can help you get out of what you deserve you know i'm coming back to jesus a well when you so to see it takes time water sun shann but if you so we you know i'm going to get potatoes you so if you've done evil to a people that god has come to save then if you want to partake of that salvation help the man of god to heal the problem that your fathers created and if you help me to heal what i am looking  then god will have mercy on you and take you through the fall of this great nation into the next world which they to be the it's written that the stone at the builders rejected would become the head stone of the con whole world has rejected us in the condition that we are in but god has not rejected us he said he would take the despise and the rejected and he said now shout no mo be the tail now shout be the head and the bottom rail will come to the top and the land would be first not because you've got it at alabama a and m it's the loads doing and it here more happy to be in alabama and mississippi and georgia than i am in chicago new york l a because  greater the suffering of the people the greater god's hand is to bring out of that suffering people the leaders who will lead them out of their suffering alabama you have a great you just need to be prepared for the role that god intends for you to carry now tonight the time that we have to talk to you about true education that will give you true preparation for your future i'm in a great institution i thank god for the founder mr counsel i thank god for the vision that he had to set up an institution like this for us he understood something that we may be losing the meaning  he understood the value of the land he understood the value of what the land can produce but continue washington just down the road mastery of the land and what the land produces that we would never have to dig somebody for a job but with our mastery of agriculture and mechanical engineering science we quote create jobs so i'm here tonight to question what we are learning and how we are using it and it was talking about it raised the question if bill gates were black you've heard of bill gates having to look at what this man wrote i think is a black man but it doesn't make any difference what his color is i just want to deal with what he said he said for much of the past century african americans pursued social justice through governmental intervention the ballot box and ultimately elective he said as a result job creation in underserved communities and among the black middle class is stagnant i think he has a point don't  you you're right the main driver of freedom in the world today is not the vote but access to capital but he said when i speak of capital i obviously mean financial capital but i also mean the latin root word kept it to us all our knowledge in the head you know when you decapitate somebody what did you do well happy tass from it you get capital is rooted in what you got in your head so that is why education and the proper education is so necessary because if you don't have the right knowledge in your head you will not be able to do what god intended for us to do now the goal of my family my seventh day adventists family thank you so much for coming from thank you the singers thank you for your beautiful songs thank you my brother who sang and never could have made it thank you for the poetry thank you for the welcome and i understand that alabama state in getting it and i understand that miles college in birmingham is getting it and i hope that drake is also getting it you know i thought a lot about mr counsel and what he did and and i thought about mr drake he was president here for thirty five years he must have done a good job to remain that lone college presidents have difficult jobs especially black college presidents because we don't have the resources that the white schools have so when our president has to go before the legislature he has to go you know and ask for money when you don't have you have to ask look at how alabama a and m started professions and make money do we come back and offer some money to the school to help the endowment fund so that the school can continue to grow from the strength of its graduates no no no we  don't do that and maybe we're the same people who will put a mother in a nursing home looked after us when we weren't able to look out for selves and don't you think that when our parents get older they should never have to feel that they are abandoned no matter what their illness may be seen if there isn't enough love in you you got to remember grandma and grandpa and you got remember your mother and your father and what they have suffered to put us here so tonight i want you to reflect as you are the children  paid a heavy price for you to be here you must not be cheering their suffering by getting an education and acting off with it you must not be true your ancestors back playing away your time smoking away your time high in the class your great grandmothers sisters they didn't dress like prostitute they sold for white people to dress nice though they dressed in burlap but today you don't know how to sew anymore how many of you see movies of jesus the christ that come on television every easter and every christmas have you seen these movies of course the jesus is always caucasian though that's not a fact there look at the women around jesus which one of the women that were around jesus had on a mini skirt not one how many of them but they comment was so tight that jesus couldn't preach not one and you say you want to meet jesus how would you meet him with your dress cut so low that baby start crying thinking it's feeding time the unfortunate sister who's selling her body tonight but your college graduate and you walk around me and looking like you want them to be mark come in here because i'm really a saying what you should be so we're going to get it straight tonight and we're going to leave here a little stronger a little wiser a little better and you going to say wow i know i can make it now because i got the right knowledge in my head now it doesn't matter what color jesus w suppose jesus looked like you you don't want him now if you no use coming back don't you think you should have some idea of what he looks li so you got the right name you got the right man suppose my jewish friends may be here you know you just came through seder passover and you leave a door open you know
