- Transcript
If you'd like to subscribe my channel please be sure to. From the Longhorn Radio Network, the University of Texas at Austin, this is In Black America. Anytime black boys and girls could suffer by holes and dogs, cattle prods and sticks, the bombing of our churches and the killing of our babies, and we not retaliate, it showed
the tremendous capacity of black people to love and black people to endorse suffering to bring about a change in the mentality of whites that you might save a nation from its decline. Martin Luther King had a dream and the world has reduced this man to just a dreamer. Martin Luther King did not die because of a dream. Martin Luther King was assassinated because he saw reality. Minister Louis Farrakhan, the popular Muslim author and lecturer, was a keynote speaker of this year's Martin Luther King Junior celebration on the campus of the University of
Texas at Austin. When the later Elijah Muhammad died in 1975, many expected the charismatic Louis Farrakhan to succeed him, but the nation of Islam hierarchy passed over him, selecting one of Elijah's sons, W. Dean Muhammad. Minister Louis Farrakhan worked with W. Dean Muhammad for two years and spent almost a year outside the organization. In 1978, Minister Farrakhan resurfaced the former Spinner Group that revived Elijah Muhammad's original teachings and the organization's old name, the nation of Islam. I'm Johnny Ohansen Junior and welcome to another edition of In Black America. This week, discipling the code, the New World Order with Minister Louis Farrakhan, part two, in Black America. Martin Luther King saw America turning into a fascist state.
Martin Luther King saw an America preoccupied with the making of money through the multi-national corporations and the industrial giants due to the making of war. He saw the poor black, the poor Hispanic, the poor Native American, the poor white as pawns in a game played by those at the top who manipulate the masses of the people. Do you think that this great nation that has the ability to put a Hubble telescope in space to spy a black hole and to see stars that have died?
This great nation with technology that can put a man on the moon and is now talking about visiting Mars and yet is turning out by the tens of thousands each year functional illiterates. Don't you know that this is not an accident? Minister Louis Farrakhan packed the BAS concert hall on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin in January of this year, a surprising number of those present with black teenagers born after the Selma to Montgomery March, the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the assassination of Malcolm X.
Born Louis Eugene Walcox in New York City on May 11, 1933, ministered Louis Farrakhan graduate with honors from Boston English High School. He was a member of the school orchestra and a member of the 1950 state championship track team. After high school, minister Farrakhan enrolled in Winston-Salem State Teachers College when his wife Betsy became pregnant with the first of their nine children. At the end of his junior year, he dropped out of college and embarked on a career in Boston as a professional entertainer. In 1952, he met the late Malcolm X, three years later, while in Chicago, he was invited to the nation of Islam Survivors Day Service. He joined the nation on the spot and the rest is history. This past January, minister Farrakhan was the keynote speaker at the University of Texas at Austin Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. We conclude, minister Farrakhan's address that focused on deciphering the code, the New World Order, ministered Louis Farrakhan. When I was a young boy, which was a little time ago, nobody in my classroom and we were
considered to disadvantage the poor, nobody in my classroom was unable to read. When I was in the sixth grade, I started studying Latin. When I graduated from grammar school, I had two years of Latin under my belt and I had a command of the English language because of my understanding of Latin. I knew every country on this earth and its capital. I knew what every country produced, its climate and how the climate affected the people.
This is before I left grammar school. When you hear of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, you said, huh, why? But when it came up on the news, I knew exactly where it was and I knew that since I was a grammar school student. I'm telling you, listen, please follow me. I went to an old boy's high school. And I studied French, Spanish, German, along with Latin and English. Old history, ancient history, medieval history, and American history.
Plain geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, calculus, along with algebra, before I got out of high school. I was awarded a track scholarship and went to college and never bought a book because I had enough in my preparatory years that I could go through school without buying a book and get A's anytime I wanted to. But somehow the educational system has been interfered with. Somehow something has gone wrong from way up top that now some of you don't know what
I'm talking about. I don't mean that you don't understand what I'm saying. I mean to know that I had these kinds of courses coming up out of high school and some of you are in college and don't have that. So then what are you being prepared for? Here's a country now that is the greatest on earth. But in science and mathematics she ranks maybe 17th to 20th in the world. If mathematics is a subject that we are not proficient in, then you will no longer be the builder of civilization.
You will be subjected to those who are the masters of mathematics. Japan is number one. Japan is number one in science. Japan is number one in terms of the health of its citizens male and female while America is twenty-second for females and twenty-seven for men in terms of our health. There was a time when America's banks were in the top six. Now you've got to get a microscope or a magnifying glass to find American banks in the top twenty banks in the world. Can't you see that something is happening to this nation?
I said and I talked with certain highly placed artists in the pop field. One particular brother I will not call the name. I said brother, you must write songs that uplift the people. We have become like swine eating at the slop truck of degenerate ideas like the prodigal son in the Bible who fell down so low he was seen husking corn and feeding swine. You can't take your wife or your daughter to a movie today.
You don't know what you're going to see. When you turn on your television you don't know what you're going to see. When you turn on your radio it's grunting and groaning and grinding and the songs are low down and filthy and you are chewing it up. Don't you know that man is what he eats physically and certainly if you eat filth mentally what are you becoming as a people and a nation? America is just on a decline and to keep you from seeing your own fall you are so busy party popping your fingers shaking whatever whatever whatever you're so busy with your
six pack of beer or your reefer or your liquor and your wild crazy parties as college students you don't see your world coming down you kill our leaders you destroy our organizations when we could help the nation if we were allowed but now you helped others and now they mock you. Now IBM that never had a losing year lost 2.8 billion and laid off over 20,000 IBM the number one fortune 500 laying off 74,000 closing down 21 plants and that's just the beginning
General Motors pardon me. Now Pan Am gone, Eastern gone, Midway gone, TWA in trouble, America West in trouble, steel industry closed down only one steel a great steel manufacturing left in America, Detroit in trouble. I have on a suit made in Italy I have on some lovely shoes made in Italy I have on some socks made in Hong Kong I have on a shirt made in Taiwan my underwear made someplace
else where's American industry it's gone America is becoming a service oriented economy now where's the future of the worker where's the future of the poor where's the future of such a great nation feeding on filth and degeneracy. The women of this nation are like pieces of meat they're not respected and honored as they should be the women have allowed themselves to be like meat in a meat store I'd like that piece bring it out let me see it it's pretty good way it up and I'll take it that's a shame
to see women degraded like that we can't buy a bar of soap is you in the bathtub with a bubble just beneath what are you selling I want to buy a mattress you their naked fly me I'm Ellen when did you become an airplane to give me a ride is this what a woman is when you see women degraded your society is gone to hell when you see women raped and they can't even say because nobody will believe when you see in the workplace women abused when
you see a woman in this degraded condition you don't understand what you're doing to yourselves my teacher the honorable Elijah Muhammad taught me that when you teach a man you teach an individual but when you teach a woman you teach a nation there is no place in the world today for a woman unlearned women all over the earth are rising up against
unjust social religious and political orders because if the woman is down the nation is down if the woman is up the nation is up the woman in this society she's free but free to be white so the woman and the man are out of the home who's rearing the children we have produced the most violent young generation in the history of the world and they are the product of a mother and a father and a social economic and political system that is slowly destroying the family your wise you got your degrees but you don't know how to
hold yourself together and in marriage your wise your highly intelligent your doctor so himself but you don't have a home to go to that is really a home your children don't come up on your breast because you don't have time and so similar can infomell some factory made garbage is being fed to our babies when even a sick mother's milk is better than any chemist formula or any cow your babies are warehouse then they care sinners baby citizens nurtured by television and so they're cold because they don't have human feelings
they've never been bonded to the humanity of their own mothers do you understand what I'm saying you bond them to a plastic bottle with a plastic nipple that doesn't have human warmth to it then you put a teddy bear in the crib with them it's really sad that you have more compassion now for animals than you do for your fellow human beings well yes it's all sad and it's terrible what is our way out you see Martin Luther King was a human being
with frailties like all of us government studied him while he was sitting with Bobby and John they were bugging his office his hotels his home and the government was planning against his movement if you would but read the select subcommittee hearings on how the government of the United States used our tax dollars to set up a counter intelligence program to deprive us of leadership Martin Luther King Jr. was a good human being who had frailties
his character his love for human beings was so great that he would be willing to put his life and reputation on the line to bring about change that's a real hero he could have joined the ranks of flag waivers and people who submit to power even though power is wrong but he chose to challenge the status quo and for that he died he saw Lyndon Johnson promise a war on poverty and then fabricate
the Tonkin Gulf incident to widen the war in Vietnam taking billions of dollars out the tax payers money sending it to Southeast Asia to drum up the war effort and the big industrialists the navy the army they all made money and poor blacks and poor Hispanics and poor whites went to a torture chamber and came back twisted drug addicts limbs gone and the government that sent them to war did not stand up for its own Vietnam veterans and even at this very moment students who left college to go to desert
storm and came back wounded are not being looked after by the very government that has used them as mercenary soldiers and has the nerve to stand before the American people and say we made a profit on the wall you have become vile low down and most of you get what you deserve in your leadership you've become hypocrites that hides your head in the sand while your country is going to hell and you want a party and pop pills and smoke dope and use crack cocaine to forget reality and when you wake up one morning your country will be gone and you wonder who to blame you won't
be able to blame Martin King you won't be able to blame Malcolm you won't be able to blame the voices of dissent who would suffer the swings and the arrows of an organized elite you won't blame Lewis Farrakhan because in all of my lectures you find me warning you and this is why they don't want black people particularly to hear a black man that is not controlled by white people who speaks what he has in his heart and not what they would want me to say to you you need a free man to speak truth to you for Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free
