"names, and robbed even of our own NATTONALITY . . .
and after robbing us of all that we origin lly could
proudly call OUR OWN, then the Slavemaster taught us
to cali ourselves ‘Negroes,! telling us that this was
eco because he had brought us from along the banks of
the Niger River,
"MESSENGER MUHAMMAD asks us today: since
when does one get ones nationality from a river? This
game wicked Slavemaster taught us that ‘Negro' means
‘plack' Jn Spanish. MESSENGER MUHAMMAD again asks us
why then don't all of the dark, Spanish sett people
of Spain, South and Central America, aceept it (Negro)
as their nationality too? MSSSENGER MUHAMMAD says that
we too should get our NATICNALITY from the NATION which
our foreparents originated from (as do all other
recugnized pecples).
"MESSENGER MUHAMMAD teaches us how the Biple
BAYS we Were purposely cuc off from our own xird after
being robbed of our identity by the eruel Christian
Slavemaster (Ezek. 37:11; Psalms 93:4 Psalms HANMAD
says the Slavemaster took our onn names, language and
rel.gion from us, so that we would then have to accept
his, bey him, ard worship him (Paniel 1:5-7}.
"MESSENGER MUHAMMAD has given us many
Boriptures to prove that his teachings to us are true
and ia accord wath the prophesies of the Bible. He
says it 18 we so-callec Negroes in America who were
robbed deaf, dumb and blind tro the knowledge of our
awn God and of our own selves, so that teday we are
like DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY (spiritually dead, in the
graves of ignorance), We are now able to speak only
the Slavemaster's tongue, end we are even yet called
the same ‘slave names' given by the Slavemaster to our
fathers during elavery time . . . names such as Jones,
Smith, Fowell, King, Bunche, Diggs, Dawson, ete.
