Message to the Blackman in America

White jewish guy from NYC here. I have seen NOI members on the streets for years and was curious about their religion and teaching. I found this book extremely interesting. A few points I came away with after reading this book: 1. If I was black I too would not believe in a white man's religion. It doesn't make sense. Faith is to be....something you have faith in. If it gives you strength to be a better person and unify as a group then so be it. 2. Not all white people are devils. That is a rather provocative comment and alluring to some non members to join. I get it. However I do agree that one will do for their own kind what other's won't. White's won't put blacks above whites. Black people need to step up and unify. This is a positive message. 3. The history of yakub and the genetic mutation of blacks into whites reads like a script from a weird science fiction movie but interesting non the less. 4. W. Fard Muhammad ( Allah in the flesh )- Fascinating. Appears in Detroit for 3 years then vanishes. Love It. Even the FBI can't track him down. I wish this book talked more about him and his short time on earth. 5. Elijah Muhammad fathered 21 children according to wikipedia. Righteous....or Right On ? :) I have total respect and understanding for this book. If I was black I could easily fall for this teaching. Someone has to stand up and shove hate right back in the face of those that hate. Unfortunately it only perpetuates hate. Let's hope that one day the black race can overcome its' hardship another more productive way. Meanwhile this movement is valid and understandably necessary.

Revolutionary read. Much wisdom and passion. Recommend for young men who are interested in leadership.

Released in 1965 & the words resonate more now than it did back then. Knowledge & Knowledge of Self is God. Energy don't die. Elijah is still here just gotta take heed of the message from the Messenger & apply it. All praise to Allah 🤲🏽

This version of Message to the Blackman in America offers a contemporary reflection on the original work by Elijah Muhammad. The book addresses issues faced by Black men in America, focusing on empowerment, self-identity, and the importance of education and unity within the community. Through a modern lens, it emphasizes the ongoing struggles and opportunities for personal and collective growth. A thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the history and future of Black communities in America.

Wow! Ive always wanted to read this book. I’m so glad I did now. So much of Mr. Muhammad’s unorthodox teachings are actually consistent with history, science and common sense. I can easily see now how his ideology attracted so many people, and allowed them to create their own counter-culture and economic system. I can also see how his teachings were a threat to the black Christian establishment, as well as traditional Muslims who were weak in their response to economic and social mistreatment of black people in America. I also understand why today, just like Malcolm X and so many others, people are still being reformed from killers of their communities into builders and leaders of their communities. I wish I had discovered this book earlier.

Best Book Ever!!!

This book should be required reading for all- not just Africa-Americans etc....! It contains a lot of historical issues, that occurred in a different era and time and history, that sadly cannot be undone, even thought as "author" points out different "choices" could have and should have been made during those times! Furthermore, it has very good advice on a whole host of issues from personal finance to "living" the best life one can within boundaries or "rules!" Also, it discusses very obscure "religious" or "theological" / "mystical" references- perhaps from Book of Enoch...etc....??? That is the biggest issue with this book and other books by the author, he does not "necessarily" quote nor even "cite" where he in fact gets a lot of his information. This would, indeed be a great help for any reader to follow up and/ or investigate a lot of the author's themes further- if the reader so desired!? Additionally, he cites the Vietnam War as being a "turning" point for a whole host of issues and even mentions the US "coming" off the "gold" standard and what in fact that may possibly mean..... The only flaw in the authors' writing I find is the "dogma" of "discrimination," simply for lack of better word,against those "different" than intended audience of writings for no other reason than simply "different" and perhaps never done any harm to "others" the author is targeting!

This his best 📚 book

Superb read, covers many topics on black people and other races in general but excellent for black men who want to improve knowledge of self and there own conditions mentally, physically and spiritually. Highly recommend plus it came on time.
