"Reparations" should mean "Repair"

by Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad

"Reparations" should mean "repair" not snare. In our last article entitled
"Snake in the Reparations’ Grass" we emphasized how the Black farmers were caught in the
snare of their lead attorney, Alexander Pires. And now that same type of "snake"
mentality may be at the negotiations table for general reparations for Black people.

In November of 1998 after the infamous Pigford v. Glickman Consent Decree was brokered by the
USDA and Al Pires, I wrote an article called "Reparations: Money or an Industry". I
wrote:

"If the government gives $50,000 to every Black man, woman and child, what good would it
do? What industries would Black people invest in to gain control over?

Every other ethnic group that comes to America seems to focus on a certain sector of the economy
and move in. Look at how many motels are owned by East Indians. Look at how many curb markets are
owned by the Koreans and Arabs. What industry do we want: agriculture ($124 billion), mining ($127
billion), construction ($730 billion),

manufacturing ($4.1 trillion), transportation and utilities ($1.1 trillion), wholesale and
retail ($4.3 trillion), finance, insurance and real estate ($2.2 trillion), services ($1.6
trillion)?

…To control any industry you need capital, cooperation, a willingness to sacrifice, a long
term commitment, knowledge of the industry, a readiness to fight if necessary to protect it. In
other words, money by itself is not the answer. We already have access to over $500 billion per
year in spending change. What are we doing with that?"

In other words money in the hands of individual "children" is like giving a loaded gun
to somebody contemplating suicide. The idea of "reparations" is not new and feasible
solutions have been offered. In fact the Honorable Elijah Muhammad placed a solution on the back of
the "Muhammad Speaks Newspaper" and now Minister Louis Farrakhan publishes that same
"solution" on the inside cover of the "Final Call Newspaper". It is item number
4 of "What the Muslims Want":

"4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from
slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own –either on this
continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land
and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are
obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years
— until we are able to produce and supply our own needs."

America never gave Blacks this type of "repair-ations" and many Blacks did not want
that type of "repair-ations" and don’t want it now. Instead they would be happy with
$50,000 so they could go out and rent an overpriced "chariot" and go to the fanciest
restaurant to sit down next to the children of their former slave master. The Honorable Elijah
Muhammad warned Black America about the trick and snare of "integration" in point number
9 of "What the Muslims Believe":

"9. WE BELIEVE that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are
trying to deceive the Black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom,
justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their ‘friends’…."

These prophetic words were written in the 1960’s. I have lived to see those words become
history. The Muslims asked for separation. The "negro" leaders asked for integration.
America "integrated" the schools and lunch counters. Why did not the "good"
white folks integrate their banks and churches?

Now Black people are still complaining about the quality of education and dying of "Mad Cow
Burgers" at "Murder King", "MacDeath", "Wind Dies" and Heart
Disease".

Urban Renewal was really "Urban Removal" and once thriving Black business districts
were bulldozed over. They bombed them like in Tulsa in 1921 but more sophisticated and with our own
consent. Damned, they good!

The Black farmers asked for land and Al Pires gave them a "lottery ticket" for the
chance of winning $50,000. And the news media hailed him as the "second coming", a good
white Jewish lawyer like the now deceased William Kunstler.

Secretary Dan Glickman came to Albany, Georgia back in January of 1997 and I told him then that
the USDA was being hypocritical when offering loans to the Black farmers after all these years when
they know that most Black farmers are small farmers and that small farmers can not compete. The
1996 farm bill set a time table for the elimination of most government subsidies to farmers. Dan
Glickman himself began the process of reducing the size of the USDA personnel out in the
countryside. In other words they are now telling the Black farmers that they can participate
equally in "nothing", because the government is getting out of agriculture.

As government goes out, big business steps in. Big chemical interests have taken over
agriculture and now poisons are being sprayed on our food to give us cancer. "Organo-phosphates"
are the major ingredients in most pesticides. Organo-phosphate is commonly known as "nerve
gas".

So now America is putting guns in the hands of Black people in the cities while she is slowly
poisoning them with her food and the fake "remedies" which the same chemical companies
produce as cures for the sickness caused by the food.

Just today, July 23, 2001, there was a report aired on the evening news on Channel 10 in Albany,
Georgia, that the third most commonly prescribed drug in America, "synthroid",  has
been on the market for 40 years, but has not been approved by the FDA. And I bet you believed that
the FDA was looking out for you. And if you are thinking, "If they kill black folk, then they’ll
kill white folks too", just remember "But they’ll kill three of them just to get one of
you" (line from "Terminator Genes").

After they eliminated the Black family farmer, the "Beast"
turned his attention to the white family farmers. Open up your eyes and read what is happening to
them.

"Separation" or "integration", "pay-off" or "repair-ations"?

Make your choice, it’s "judgment time".

But don’t be a victim of the "Perfect Crime".

Peace, Doc
