Donald Trump: Tearing Away White Civility

By The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan | Last updated: Oct 27, 2016 - 10:59:05 AM

If you look at Donald Trump, Mr. Trump is a businessman. Certainly he’s done great things in the business world. His dad was a nice fellow. He ran a little “dusty” work (illegal ventures), like Mr. Joe Kennedy did.

White folks are allowed to be criminals and pass on money to their children to become clean. That’s what Michael Corleone, in The Godfather, was trying to do. But Frank Lucas, none of our brothers who’ve done great in the drug culture were allowed to have any money to pass on to their children that they could build on the error of the father and make something better for the children.

Mr. Trump is tearing away the skin of the onion of White civility, and the more he pulls the skin of that onion back he’s beginning to show something in the character of the Whites that follow him that they don’t care what he says. He could say one thing this minute, another thing the next minute and you could see the man has a little problem, a little problem.

But he is exacerbating the race situation in America, and I will guarantee you, if he becomes president, he’ll take America exactly where America is heading. He’ll take you there on a rocket ship.

How can a man say he’s not a thug, he’s a diplomat; he’s a president, but he says, “We’ll go into Iraq and we’ll just take the oil.” See, that’s the thug coming out. That’s that part of the nature of the beast that’s manifesting.

If he becomes your president, you’ll be just like him. The scripture says Pharaoh was talking before his demise and he openly said, “Me and my people are wicked.”

When you get leadership that is not rooted in justice, then they begin to make the people just like themselves.

Be careful America you’re headed into the abyss of hell and if you make a mistake in choosing your leaders, maybe you’ll go there faster.

It is not I or we, the Nation of Islam, who are saying that this system has to be taken down. It is Allah (God) Himself and the prophets of God who have said that this world in which we live is to cease to exist and inside the Nation, you know, we are coming up out of a world that, unfortunately, made us into itself.

Why did Master Fard Muhammad, the Great Mahdi and founder of the Nation of Islam, say, “We have been other than ourselves?” Who is other than Self but the Enemy? So he, the Enemy, made us into himself and many of us are striving to be better today than yesterday coming up out of that system.

Now, Master Fard Muhammad intends to bring in a brand new world and that’s why Jesus said, “Behold, I make all things new,” not some things, all things. We are a part of that that is in the process of being made new. There’s a scripture in the Qur’an that I will quote and I want you to think about it.

It says, “Seek assistance through patience and prayer.” There’s a long distance between the spoken word of God and the fulfillment of that word and in that time period, the faith of the Believer is tested. But through patience, perseverance and continuing to work on ourselves to make ourselves better in the pursuit of justice and truth and equity, over time we will become what God intends for us to be.

Thurgood Marshall, our great legal giant when he was on the Supreme Court, made a statement saying that the Ku Klux Klan used to wear white. They now wear black. What he was saying is: The same mentality of the Ku Klux Klan is now sitting in the Supreme Court reversing all the things that were deemed to be progressive for Black people and poor people the Supreme Court is now ruling against those things.

This White cop, Daniel Holtzclaw in Oklahoma City, Okla., that allegedly molested 13 or 14 Black women, he’s the tip of the iceberg because in every city where Black people are and where they’re policed by White cops, they take advantage, many of them, of our women and our girls and traffic them. Darren Wilson, the police officer in Ferguson, Mo., who killed Michael Brown, Jr., listen to former officer Wilson’s words: “I don’t want to work in the White community. I want to work in the Black community because that’s where the fun is.” What is fun? It’s raping our women. It’s abusing our young men.

Brothers and sisters, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave us a command which you can find in “Message to the Blackman.” He says, “Make your community a decent place to live.” That’s going to take all of us working together and that will expose the rogue cops who are in our community doing evil, shooting many of our young men down and maybe even claiming that this is gang warfare while this may be some of the police themselves just killing us for fun.

The Final Call
