A
PEOPLE UNNAMED, A PEOPLE UNRECOGNIZED:
WHAT
SHALL WE CALL HIM?
The
article “WHAT SHALL WE CALL HIM?” was written by Noble Timothy
Drew Ali and published in “THE MOORISH LITERATURE” in 1928.
Today, in 2018, the government and people of the United States are
yet confronted with this question. This is evident to the point that
the U.S. Census 2020 requires that anyone registering as ‘black’
or ‘african-american’ pinpoint their ancestry, a feat impossible
as ‘black’ and ‘african-american’. Many persons presently
alive can testify to the usages of te various labels of “colored”,
“negro” and “black”, each at a different point and moment,
since 1928 with each label experiencing its era of popular usage.
Still,“Truth
does not change or pass away.”
For
centuries, so-called blacks have been without a National Name, i.e.
NATIONALITY. Looking at the international scene, one’s Nationality
is the standard by which legal status within a governmental entity
(State) is determined. So,
WHY IS IT,
an ENTIRE NATION OF PEOPLE IS ALLOWED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT
A NATIONALITY?
Prior
to 1968, the majority of ASIATIC-AMERICA did
not
and would
not
use the word “black” to identify themselves. Now comes one
Godfather of Soul, Brother James Brown singing “Say
it Loud! I’m black and I’m proud!”
bringing with him a generating of false pride in the misnomer black.
Before this song came one had better bring lunch and dinner if you
called another brother or sister “black” as you would have a
serious fight on your hands. At that time, the vast majority of
Asiatics referred to themselves as ‘negro’. Some, mostly the
elders, used the tem “colored”. These terms come from a
psychology which has been imposed upon our people since 1779. This
psychology was and is designed to strip the then newly-enslaved
people, and their ascendents today, of their National name, Heritage,
Culture, Self-Esteem, Way-of-Life, Divine Creed and every other
characteristic which makes a Nation a Nation. The ongoing effects of
this psychology are seen to this day, most being undesirable,
unhealthy and unproductive effectively helping to disintegrate and
destroy THE UNITY OF THE MOORISH-ASIATIC FAMIY. The major way this
psychological programming took place is via the institution of
organized religion, in particular, the doctrine of Christianity as
taught and promulgated by the Roman Catholic Church which, has been
and, is yet currently used to separate the people from their
ANCESTRAL PATTERNS of LIFE.
Separating
the young from the elders, the children are taught principles, within
the specified doctrine, successfully instilling within the children
patterns of submissive, self-denying, self-denigrating behavior. The
blatant paradox of this is that the very system by which Human
Rights
were denied an entire nation of people was, and is, the same system
which GUARANTEES the oppressors’ “place in heaven”. Using the
Scripture to both support their position of abusive, murderous
dominance while claiming that dominance as their earthly birthright
the dastardly thereby put forth this duplicitous value system as
their divine right!
In
the book, “THE NEGRO, THE BEAST; OR IN THE IMAGE OF GOD” is found
the basic theory and ideology of the created “negro” thought ad
presence. This book was written and published by Charles Carroll,
U.S. Senator Maryland, in 1900.
The
denying of Nationality to these people set the stage for the
development and creation of a NEW SPECIES OF BEING on the earth—a
MAN-MADE ‘species’, a TOTALLY NEW and INHUE-MAN ‘species’,
upon whom a Self-injurious thought pattern has been impressed.
Generation after generation of fertile minds has been instilled with
this ‘negro’ mentality with the resultant “beastial” conduct
exhibited through acts full of “HATRED, SLANDER, LEWDNESS, MURDERS,
THEFT AND EVERYTHING THAT HARMS.” These acts are predominantly
perpetrated by the negro mentality upon itself in all-too-obvious
displays of self-hatred and self-degradation. By denying these
people their Nationality, the Europeans effectively cut them off from
their illustrious story. They were thrust into a void—an
abyss—from which retrieval was to be impossible and to which the
denied Nation has become so accustomed that they now believe their
condition and state-of-mind to be ‘normal’. The negro mentality
is complete.
In
the Dred Scott decision of 1857, Chief Justice Taney, of Maryland,
stated that “…a
negro has no rights which a white man is bound to respect…”
In LEGAL THOUGHT AND TERMINOLOGY, a negro
is NOT a HUMAN BEING!
When one considers that the negro, i.e. a state-of-mind and its
related behaviors, was not created by the Universal Creator, but
rather is a contrived man-engineered psychology, one can better see
Judge Taney’s point. So, how can one, who adheres to something
other than DIVINE ORDER, expect to be treated in a manner consistent
with and equivalent to that treatment received by all others who are
adhering to DIVINE ORDER?
Contrary
to popular belief the words negro and black DO NOT PERTAIN TO SHADE
OF SKIN OR COMPLEXION. Rather, these words indicate a
“State-of-Mind” robbed of the Divine knowledge of SELF. Said
“State-of-Mind” therefore manifests a designated pattern of
behavior, or program, determined by the politically-dominant society.
It thereby also becomes an indication of LEGAL STATUS (hence the
verbiage of Judge Taney’s decision). Said “State-of-Mind” has
little, if any, ORIGINALITY OF THOUGHT. By this we mean thinking and
subsequent behaviors are limited to the framework established by the
dominant society. Creative, i.e. INDEPENDENT thinking in
applications towards SELF-IMPROVEMENT/SELF-ENHANCEMENT NOT
AUTHORIZED, ENDORSED or REQUESTED
by their European masters, i.e. the dominant society, are TABOO and
will usually be avoided by the negro mentality. Such a psychological
system, at best, causes the self-perspective of the subjected
individuals to be one of extremely low self-esteem and very often
manifests through acts of self-denial. These acts are not limited to
the personal self, but more often are extended to the general
populace of Asiatics through verbal (extending into mental/emotional)
and physical assaults (to the point of murder). This man-made
mentality is geared to maintain the MOORISH-ASIATIC people of the
United States in a state of Spiritual and Mental bondage, i.e. no
physical shackles needed. Although quite deleterious since its
inception some 200 plus years, this imposed mentality has become even
more effective since the year 1950 when the television became a
commonplace household item. This invention, coupled with the
subsequent 1954 (Brown vs. Topeka, Kansas Board of Education)
overturn of the (” SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” ruling Plessey vs.
Ferguson) 1896 by the U.S. Supreme Court heralded in an era of
“INTEGRATION” and has served to further confuse and delude the
MOORISH-AMERICAN people. The fact that Integration and its related
policies have not been effective in raising the Self-love and
Self-esteem of the negro mentality is most evident now some
sixty-five years hence. To the contrary greater and more frequent
acts of Self-degradation are being performed by persons “operating
under the influence of” this imposed “negro mentality”. It
matters not that some of them call themselves “black”. For
truly, negro
is black and black is negro.
On top of all this is the fact that, since the 1954 decision,
Asiatics have, for the second time in the history of the United
States, been admitted to the Bicameral Halls of Legislation. So now,
we have a select, or supposedly elite, group of Asiatics, who have
become, perhaps, too comfortable in the positions of political office
in which they have been PERMITTED to enter. Yet, these “second
reconstruction era” politicos are unable to come up with the means
of engendering the levels of SELF-LOVE and SELF-ESTEEM exigent to
STOP the so-called “black-on-black” killing, the drug abuse, etc.
Neither have they shown themselves capable of fostering the Spirit
of TRUE GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT through Community-Development Programs
such as FOOD CO-OPS, LAND CO-OPS, or other BUSINESS-STIMULATING
ENTERPRISES, geared to uplifting
the oppressed MOORISH people of NORTH AMERICA.
With
all the so-called progress the MOORISH-AMERICAN people under the
spell of the negro mentality have made, they yet find themselves in
the same, if not worse, predicament as they found at the turn of the
Twentieth Century, some one hundred and nineteen years ago. At that
time, very much unlike today, the people knew there were serious
imbalances and discrepancies within the political and societal
systems with which they had to work. Today, it seems that negro has
become even MORE COMPLAISANT and LESS ACTIVE in concerns of his own
uplift and betterment. The negro mentality seems content with the
little; the brother killing brother condition; the drugs, the
impoverished condition of our people; the “abject wretchedness”
of their status as “Wards-of-the-State”. In essence the negro
mentality seems content to be at the bottom of the chain-of-humanity
on planet Earth. Such is the mentality of the people called negro,
black and african-american.
This
is NOT THE OPINION OF THIS RIGHTER! It is a statement of TRUTH
easily verifiable by anyone reading this article and is therefore
submitted as INCONTROVERTIBLE TRUTH!
So
what SHALL we call him? Where do we go from here? Certainly, it is
not enough to just take on the National Name of MOORISH-AMERICAN
without taking on the positive
value system and
learning
which will bring about personal and community UPLIFT. It IS
NECESSARY TO PROCLAIM YOUR NATIONALITY.
Many will ask, “How do I know I’m Moorish-American?” To this
we answer, “Probably
two hours in an up-to-date library would serve to relieve the strain
on our (people)…The matter of the various names given to these
twenty-two million people with all colors of every race of the globe
was an act of European
Psychology” giving
“the negro” “…a name, then (defining) it as something
inferior to…” the name they gave themselves.”
You
will know by virtue of your research. We now ask, “Can you prove
yourself to be of ANY Nationality?” If your answer is “YES!”,
we then urge you to use that Nationality. Should you answer “NO”,
THEN WE URGE YOU TO PROCLAIM AND USE THE Nationality made available
to you by way of Noble Drew Ali and THE MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE of
AMERICA, INC. Surely, what may be to you a dubious Nationality is
better than a definite LACK thereof! We would also answer in this
manner – “HOW MANY MORE YEARS OF ABUSE AND DEGRADATION MUST YOU
EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THE ACTUAL
LEGAL DISQUALIFICATION
TO WHICH THE MISNOMERS of black and African-american ASSIGN THEIR
CLAIMANTS? Can you really say that that which you have not tried
will not work?, and that it is not better than that which you have
consistently tried, but which has NEVER WORKED to your overall
benefit?
For
the most part, in order to receive a different answer to any
equation, a variable of the equation must be changed. No change in
the equation will unfalteringly give the Same
Ol’
Sum!
The mathematics of this situation speak Truth.
“WHAT
SHALL WE CALL HIM?” Certainly, we of the MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE
say it LOUD and in a spirit most PROUD, “MOORISH-AMERICAN!” What
they shall be called will depend upon their Willingness and Ability
to disregard much of their former programming, designed to stifle
true expansion and their willingness to re-program their thinking for
their own benefit and betterment, regardless of personal likes and
dislikes. Up to this point they have been called by designations
which separate
them
from the family of Nations. According to our choices to our present
situation we shall be deemed either wise or foolish. Certainly
foolish will be appropriate should we not find the needed strength to
diligently research this information, TEST IT, and subsequently
employ it to full benefit. Certainly to be considered as men and
women BY OUR OWN STANDARD, we will all agree, more of less, that we
must think for ourselves and determine for ourselves, never fearing
adaptation and flexibility as required to thrive in what is actually
a hostile environment. WE WILL NEVER DOCILELY ACCEPT POLITICAL
MANIPULATION AS BEING BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WE WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO
THE ARGUMENT THAT “YOU CAN’T FIGHT CITY HALL.”
Vigilance
in all our concerns, Spiritually, Medically, Educationally,
governmentally, etc. is our utmost focus. We must make a 180 degree
turn in our thinking and our self-accountability as we develop food
co-operatives and other enterprises which not only generate economic
viability and employment for ourselves, but also create support
systems for our community al all levels. We must educate our young
and care for our elders. We must do everything for ourselves that we
have been taught to look to the politically-dominant society to do
for us. We must do all this and more, with a willingness to actuate
ideas and concepts which, up to this point, may have seemed strange
or even foreign to us. We must change our thinking and thereby our
behavior patterns… and when all this has been set in motion, we
will find that, by the rest of the world as well as by our own
account, we will be deemed men and women, Great, Honorable and Worthy
of RESPECT and LEADERSHIP. But until we do—they
shall be called “negro”.
Yours
in Divine Love,
