The Black Man and Woman of America are descended from a stolen people.

The thieves are the Western powers of this world.

The grandmaster thief was a man named John Hawkins.

The stealing of a people first started with lies. Our African ancestors were tricked to board a ship named Jesus. They were deceived into thinking that they would receive gold, more than they were earning in their own country. Instead, they wound up in a land where no one could speak their language, and they were forced into chattel slavery.

Black people in America were stolen from our Motherland and we were brought into a land that was stolen from our Indian brothers and sisters.

Even after we were emancipated, we were still considered property.

Are we still property in 2014? Do we still belong to America? We were once hostages, but now we are willing captives. I believe that we are still owned by America. America owns our mindset, our thinking process, and our actions. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan once said, “He who gives you the diameter of your knowledge prescribes the circumference of your activity.”

How do we become owned by God? How do we get our actions to line up with God’s will?

First and foremost, “Be ye not conformed by this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

America owns us. What will it take for God through His servant and warner in our midst to buy us? Minister Farrakhan has given us a vision of what our future could hold if we submit to Allah (God). He has given us a way out of poverty and want. He has reformed and civilized the Black Man and Woman of America. He has given us an atonement process. He has given to us The Time and What Must be Done. He has brought about love and unity, peace and harmony. He has stood up for us no matter the consequences. He has told us the truth after we have been lied to too many times to count by our so-called leaders.

What will it take for us to realize that we are up for auction, and there’s no higher bidder for us than Almighty God Allah? Let us reject Satan’s offer of sport, play, and lack of responsibility, and accept God’s offer of Freedom, Justice, and Equality.

We are a stolen people owned by America.

But as the Bible asks, “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, and the lawful captive be delivered?” The answer is yes. The question is do we want to be free?
