This is just how equal you are in America……Black unemployment at 11.6%: US Report

Greetings,

Regardless to how you are treated in this society you still hope that one day you will be treated as an equal by them. You are dead wrong and sadly mistaken. If you were a citizen or if you were equal with white America in her treasures as well as the hurt, but your portion of hurt and harm exceeds all others while your share in the treasuries of this nation, which was built on your free labor, is not even a crumb off the table.

….”We have been eating the bread of affliction and suffering the poisonous bites of our white slave master. It has caused actual death of our proper mental way of thinking. The natural brain of the Black slave is poisoned and cannot think for itself.

   So Allah (God) is asking us to separate from white America. But the mentally dead do not want to go from her for they have not yet gotten the knowledge of truth of our God, Allah and His Mercy for them.

  The Black – slave – children are victimized by the white slavemaster, because of the condition the white – slave – master brought our Black slave-fathers up in. They do not readily hear the right answer to the problem. Regardless, to how I cry in their midst, they are poisoned and mentally dead.”–pg.111(tfoa)

This is just how equal you are in America……
