Once the slave has his master’s education, the slave wants to be like his master, wants to share his master’s property, and wants to exercise the same privileges as his master.
This is the CORE of America’s troubles today; and there will be no peace for America as long as 20 million so-called Negroes are here BEGGING for the equal rights which America knows she will never grant us.
Even the limited education America has granted her ex-slaves has already produced great unrest ... and Almighty God says the only way for America to ever have peace is for us to be SEPARATED from her ... and therefore Mr. Muhammad teaches us that we must have some land of our own.
If we receive equal education, how long do you expect us to remain your passive servants, or second-class citizens? There is no such thing as second-class citizens. We are FULL CITIZENS or we are not citizens at all!
When you teach a man the science of government he wants an equal part (or position) in that government ... or else he wants to be a master in that government himself. He demands equality with his master.
No man with equal education will serve you. The only way you can continue to rule us is with a superior knowledge, or by continuing to hold equal education from our people.
America has not given us equal education, but she has given us enough to make us want more ... and to make us demand equality of opportunity ... which is causing great unrest.
Thus, the only SOLUTION is complete SEPARATION!
You believe in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, that a great DAY OF SEPARATION is coming, and that the knowledge of truth will cause this SEPARATION. We are living at that time today!
You are not common people here in this college audience. You are students, scholars, professors; you have education enough to weigh current events as well as history against the truth of what Mr. Muhammad is teaching.
