DNA Study Solves Mystery Of Mysterious Mixed-Race People
ALEC Loses Another Big Company
Commemorating the 12th anniversary of the Million Man March, Minister Louis Farrakhan told black Americans to look to themselves for support. The former Nation of Islam leader was in Atlanta just a few months after he gave what was billed as his farewell speech after being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. He spoke to an audience of nearly 5,000, warning them against materialism and seeing current successes for a few African-Americans as evidence of opportunity for everyone."We have to come out of the thinking of a slave and come into the thinking and acting of free men and women," Farrakhan said. "We cannot depend on others for what the horrible condition of our people demands now that we do for ourselves."
According to the Associated Press, Tuesday night's address was the keynote speech for Farrakhan's Holy Day of Atonement, which also commemorated the anniversary of the Million Man March, held

Well. Min Farrakhan is no joke. No onw will ever face him and disagree with what he says to his face. They will only snipe about him through the protected media. Jesus was hated by many too, becuase he loved the poor. Many blacks have fallen for the american dream hook line and sinker, and it;s time we leave them behind and allow them to worship the american dollar that has very little value ;-). Good luck...you'll need it!

The Hon Louis Farrakhan has given his life to the ne-
cessary struggle of liberating African-American minds
from the infamous "Willie Lynch Syndrome"!Because his
efforts stood upon the foundation of what was laid be-
fore us by The Hon.Elijah Muhammad under the auspices
of The Nation of Islam,we've missed the messages as we
reject their religious basis!African-Americans have to
escape some 400+ yrs of Christian indoctrination be-
fore there can ever be any REAL liberation of Self!In
effect,we need to be stripped of ALL that has been put
in us by those who NEVER deemed us to be anything oth-
er than slaves or the descendants of ex-slaves who are
to be kept CONCEPTUALLY-CONFINED to ideas that perpetu
ate the lies of RACISTS!While another religion such as
Islam may or may NOT be the needed replacement for the
nourishment of our Collective Tortured Soul & Spirit,
we certainly need to be "Self-Enlightened" away from
the poisons of our "other-education",which has been &
continues to be one where we are effectively mis-educa
ted,poorly-educated,under-educated,& even un-educated
about Self,others,& God!To be "other-educated" is fine
but to be "Self-Enlightened" is Divine!
We do NOT recognize our OWN unique historic reality
in the very Book we profess to believe in!We do NOT en
vision our COLLECTIVE SELF as "The Chosen People" car-
ried away into captivity & so lost to our OWN unique
Reality that we embrace the religion of our captives
like the so-called "Jews" did when taken captive by
Babylon!We have been effectively separated from & divi
ded against our own historic past!
Elijah told us we are the first under the sun,i.e.,
"The Asiatic-Black Man",the original builders of civi-
lizations as well as The First Civilizers of the bar-
barians out of Europe!While the Catholic Church would
revise the historic record to say it civilized the bar
baric European hordes via the auspices of Christianity
the actuality is that it only managed to give fuel to
"white supremacy ideology" w/its representation of a
"pale-skinned,persecuted & unjustly crucified "Son of God"!Caucasians emerged from the cold,harsh confines of Europe to discover so-called "colored people" eve-
rywhere they went!The natural question became"why are
we NOT like these other People?"
All the answers were rooted in lies Caucasians have
invested some 2,000 yrs.of their feigned civilized ex-
istence propagating & perpetuating,inspite of the his-toric record that says otherwise!In their efforts to
validate their lies,they created intellectual & con-ceptual models designed to enslave mentally!As part &
parcel of "The Great Amerikkkan Experiment" we were en
slaved w/the specific objective of displacing & sup-
planting us as "The Original People of the Planet"!In
an effort to make the first last & the last first,Cau
casians created this reverse order of Being where we
were placed at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder &
they were placed at the top!
And,all this was based upon the propagations of so-
called "skin-color",where The Savior of the World is
a pale-skinned individual touted as "The Son of God"!
Of course,NO People have done more to upset the natu- ral balance of things on the Planet than Caucasians!
While their crimes against Nature are numerous,their
number one crime has been committed against People of
African descent who have been their most immediate &
accessible victims for the expressions of their un- bridled acts of Christian-inspired cruelties!Chattel
Slavery stands above all other institutions in the History of Man for its degree of deliberate,intention-
al & systematic practices of man's inhumanity to man!

We agree that Minister Farrakahn speaks strong and true from his heart and what he believes. We also think that Malcolm X, Dr. King, Adam Clayton Powell--and many others did the same. We appreciate the Muslims, but some of us are not interested in joining up--and some of us do not agree with all of what the Muslims say and how they go about their business. Read our history--which also means read between the lines of classic American History--read source material; newspapers, historical documents, archived letters from the past--and you will find that it took all kinds--from Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey to Frederick Douglass, WEB Dubois, Booker T. Washington and the Tuskeegee Airmen. All are part of the BLACK AMERICAN TRIBE...and the Tribe's survival and "relative" progress. From conservative JC Watts to Snoop Dogg--all part of the Tribe. For our part, the Muslims--and Farrakahn engage in too much divisive labeling. We need to be a big tent. Do we all agree on all issues? No. Not by a long shot. Is Farrakahn's way straight and true and the best way? Not to many of us. While he criticizes those who "have bought the white man's dream" in such broad terms, many "dreamers"(and doers) have used their brilliance to prevail the system and share their riches with others--while at the same time opening doors and enabling others to secure food-clothing-shelter for themselves and their children. Some of Minister Farrakahn's powerful words are inspirational reminders/calls that we should accept nothing less than full respect as men and women of the Universe. And we appreciate that. But some of the specifics of the religion itself? Tent is too small to be of greatest value to many of those who have helped over our history on these shores to build what solid rock we stand on, to build from. The BLACK AMERICAN TRIBE accepts Muslims, Christians, Budhists, Atheists, Straights, Gays--Liberals, Conservatives, Black Punk Rockers and Hip Hoppers--all. We ARE all part of the Black American Tribe--and for one of the Tribe to even THINK of killing another after all the killing that was done to us over our history is INSANE. We may disagree with one another on this or that--but care should be taken to not lose recognition of our common bond--first and foremost. FIRST AND FOREMOST. And I, for one, do not think the Muslim Religion does that very well for the Tribe. This writer is not sure Minister Farrakahn and the Muslims are capable of that kind of acceptance. And we think it is crucial to our survival. Visit www.BLACKAMERICANTRIBE.com--you are probably already a member. And pass the word.
