In 5 words you managed to be wrong twice.  #1-H. Rap Browne had not yet converted to Islam at the time of this speach.  At the time of this speach he was a member of the black panther party.  #2- Today, H. Rap Browne, now known as Jamil Al-Amin is not a "black" Muslim.  He is a Muslim.  He is not of Elijah Muhammad's brand of Islam but the brand of Islam practiced internationally by 1 billion people from Indonesia to Nigeria and throught most of the Middle East.  This Islam has nothing to do with race.  In his most current book, written in 1996 he had this to say about racism:

H. Rap Browne (now known as Islamic Imam Jamil Al Amin after his conversion to Islam in the 70's):

"You have to go beyond the whole concept of nationalism when you are talking about successful struggle....So, race becomes something that is insignificant when you try to trace it all the way back; because you can't go any further than Adam."

"Peoplehood is based upon belief more than anything else.  More than race, more than on any psychological characteristics, peoplehood is determined by belief; Allah has given us many narratives in the Qur'an than can substitute this."

What is that supposed to mean?  There is no color preference in Islam.  And if you studied who Muslims are in the world Muslims are of every race.  The Berbers (white) of North Africa were largely influential in the spread of Islam, leading the way for Muslims to rule over most of Europe.  And I'm sure your aware that the Chechen seperatists in Russia are white.  Bosnia, Albania, these are countries that have been in the news in your lifetime with the majority of the population being white Muslims.  I'm sure you have heard about them.  Allah has said in the Qu'ran:

O mankind
We created you from a single pair
Of male and female
and made you into
Nations and tribes
So that ye may know eachother
Not that ye may despise eachother
Verily the most honored of you
In the sight of Allah
Is he who is the most
Righteous of you.
And Allah has full knowledge
And is well-aquainted
With all things.

quite a well written speech.. some parts are very true. the subliminal emphasis on certain themes shows through when its written down though.

however.. black revolution? please.. violence aint the answer..

u gonna march wit em lincoln.. would they let you, or lynch you?

they need to quit the colour shit, make it poor vs non-poor.. they're getting there with the "dispossessed people" shit, but u gotta include the poor white there too..

--- End quote ---

I have no plans to march with them, and I would tend to agree with the points that you made.

I just thought it was a well written speech.

I'm just not sure what was meant by the white "black muslims" things. As Ibrahim pointed out, Islam has no colour preference. It's a religion which eliminates racism.

--- Quote from: Overseer on February 28, 2004, 03:46:47 PM ---how i take it is that people dont understand that it aint about color, its about power.. wherever any race has power over another they wont let go.. its the way it is. its way way deeper than black/white/brown.. divisions of each would stick together given the chance..

--- End quote ---

I agree 100%. Stick the White man in the ghetto and make Blacks the majority and give them the power, it would be the same situation reversed.
