My friends, Islam is the religion taught by all of the prophets: Noah, Lot, Abraham, Moses, and even Jesus. Islam is the true name of the religion God gave to the prophets in the past to cure their people of whatever moral or spiritual ailments that were afflicting them in that day.
Since we have examined the ailments of the crumbling Western World, and the ills that are infecting America ... let us look more closely at the miserable condition of the American Negro:
Here are 20 million people who have lost their original identity; they cannot even speak their own mother tongue. How can 20 million people lose their language? What happened to it? What was it? Why don’t they at least know what it was?
Why don’t the educated Negroes know something about their own history, their own culture, the last names of their forefathers, their own nationality, their own country, their own flag, their own religion, and their own God?
My friends, surely you will agree that no other people in history, biblical or otherwise, have been so completely stripped and robbed by their slave master of all knowledge concerning their own kind ... and because of this, no other people in history, biblical or otherwise, have ever presented such a problem to their former slave masters or to the world ... as the problem created by the presence of the 20 million so-called Negroes here in America today.
The New York Tribune, in an editorial (Feb. 5, 1960), pointed out that out of 11 million qualified Negro voters, only 2,700,000 actually took time to vote. This means that, roughly speaking, only 3 million of the 11 million Negroes who are qualified to vote take an active part ... and the remaining 8 million remain voluntarily inactive, and yet it it is this small minority of Negro voters who help determine who will be the next President.
If who will be the next President can be influenced by 3 million Negro voters, it is easy to see why the presidential candidates of both political parties put on such a false show with the civil rights bill, and with promises of integration. They must woo or impress the 3 million voting Negroes who are the actual “integration seekers.”
If so much fuss is made over these 3 million “integration seekers,” what would the presidential candidates have to do to appease the 8 million non-voting Negroes if they ever decided to become politically active in this election year?
Who are the 8 million non-voting Negroes, what do they want, and why don’t they vote?
The 3 million voters are the so-called middle- (or high-) class Negroes, referred to by Howard University Sociology Professor E. Franklin Frazier, as the “BLACK BOURGEOISIE,” who have been educated to think as patriotic individualists, with no racial pride ... who believe in, and look forward to, the future “integrated-intermarried” society promised them by the Negro politicians ... and therefore, this “integration-minded” 3 million remain an active part of the white-controlled political parties. But it must never be overlooked, that these 3 million integration seekers are only a small minority of the 11 million qualified voters.
