Book: We Are Human Beings

Honor Praise and Thanksgiving is given to Master Fard Muhammad, who came to North America, and established The Lost and Found Nation of Islam through His Messenger, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, (Peace be Upon Him) who worked tirelessly for 44 years, giving

birth to The Honorable Silis Muhammad, who re-established it on August 21st, 1977 by bringing to us, and the world the original teachings that caused the blackman and woman in North America to rise and recoginze their true identity.

Validation of Silis Muhammad?s leadership foresight and divine intentions are the results of his sacrifice determination and efforts to address the awful spectrum of events surrounding our 461 years of sojurn, in a land that has done nothing, but use abuse, murder, torture maim and deny our human rights.

2001 brought about the Durban Declaration as part of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination , Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, that requested the action of establishing a Commission on Human Rights be established, as a working group or some other mechanism to study the problems of racial discrimination, faced by people of African descent living in the African Diaspora, and were given the power to make proposals for the elimination of racial discrimination against people of African descent.

The Honorable Silis Muhammad created the environment of events that brought about this momentous decision from outside of the United States. And here is some of the story:

May 1998, here are the words of Silis Muhammad: ?My name is Silis Muhammad. I am a spiritual son of the late Honorable Elijah Muhammad (peace be upon him). Oh, how much he did for us: the so-called African-American, and perchance too for humanity. Our question is whether the national minority, the so-called African-Americans, are in possesion of their inalienable human rights.?

And with that simple introduction, he began to talk about the laws that govern the rights of us as a people here in the ?Diaspora?, in particular, the America?s, both North and South. How we have been stripped of our ?Religon,? ?Mother Tongue?, and ?Culture,? forced to ?Assimilate? into a system that is against us and was designed to subjugate us from birth to death.

Mr. Muhammad then outlined how it was done, by saying, ?The slave ship took them away from their ancestral religious belief. They were dislodged from the knowledge of their lineage to Allah, God.? He continued by describing the replacement of a system of belief by stating, ?The slave master taught them of his religion ultimately, and of his lineage to a supreme being whom he refers to by the name of God.

Adding more, he said, ?The federal or local governments of America did not teach nor make provisions for the so-called African-Americans, or slaves to learn the knowledge of their transmissible religious belief.

Toward the end of his presentation, he said, ?Our prayer is for the recapture of the possession of our inalienable human rights. Morever, we solemnly pray to be heard by the U. N. and its member states, the Supreme collective human political body, and the consummate aggregated Judge of the earth.? (The entire address can be found in MS volume 20/No 10)

Prayers were answered, and the results are that: in studying the problems presented to the ?Working Group,? The Honorable Silis Muhammad, did what others had only talked about. He spent over 11 years and countless trips at his own expense, to bring to the leaders of this world, the ?Plight,? of us as a people in the Americas, where we are day and night shot down like animals with no legal protection of which to seek recourse.

Silis Muhammad has done the work, in re-establishing The Lost Found Nation of Islam, as the ?Government? of us and for us by his ?Stand? in 1977, but he has gone even further in bringing about an actual government of which is in existence now.

There is a system in place for us as a people, the Afrodescendant Nation, because we are now known as ?Afrodescendants,? a name that we gave to ourselves, in which he too, had a part in bringing about the new identification of us as well.

It was Mrs. Ida Hakim, who worked to assist our Queen Mishaki Muhammad and Mr. Muhammad in the late 1980?s at the Hague, where he studied and trained to understand the international legal language necessary; to present a case on our behalf, where the ?World Court? meets.

In Mr. Muhammad?s words, he worked with a ?Battery of Attorney?s,? including renown Attorney Ted Eagans, that labored to prepare and introduce communication submitted to the UN under the 1503 procedure.

Let?s go back to 1992 with the beginning of CURE and Ms. Ida Hakim who, inspired by Mr. Muhammad wanted Caucasians United for Reparations and Emancipations to assist in the fight for benefits in which she championed, to become an aid to helping us reach our goals of ?Reparations,? or that the first written intervention in 1993 under the organization created, known as IHRAAM that came about to facilitate motion, and the publication of ?Reparations the Cure for America?s Race Problem,? made its apperance in 1994.

1995 brought about the NGO, All For Reparations and Emancipation, known as AFRE that was given consultative status at the UN in 1997, when, just a year later in 1998, Mr. Muhammad received an invitation asking him to make an address at ?Working Group on Minorities,? held in Geneva, Switzerland, where he skillfully presented our case to them, and set into motion what you see today hearalded, as a victory for the cause of ?Reparations?.

Additionally, people like Queen Mother Yaa Aascentewaa Ohema, an activist joined with Mr. Muhammad through her entity, National Coalition for Reparations in America, N?COBRA, built for spearheading knowledge of self, and re-attachment to our roots in Africa giving strength to the momentum with their support.

As former President of the Afrodescendant Nation, Ajani Mukarram attended a UN sub commision meeting in Chincha, Peru to speak briefly about us, all due to the influence of Silis Muhammad. (please provide date)

Now, lets turn to the opposition to ?Reparations?? As with anything good, there will be something bad to try and prevent its achievement? America?s first, African-American President stood in direct oppositon to the call for ?Reparations?, as a candidate, he said, ? If we have a program, for example, of universal health care, that will disproportionately affect people of color, because they're disproportionately uninsured," Obama said. "If we've got an agenda that says every child in America should get -- should be able to go to college, regardless of income, that will disproportionately affect people of color, because it's oftentimes our children who can't afford to go to college." Skirting the ?Reparations? issue, he was asked point blank about support for it, and in response to a survey by the NAACP he said, "I fear that reparations would be an excuse for some to say, 'We've paid our debt,' and to avoid the much harder work." This was in 2004.

2008 he said, ?I have said in the past-and I?ll repeat again-that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.? Guess he didn?t get the ?Memo? that was passed out upon our entry to America, that ?Slavey? was a job, and it was for life?

As for education, it was illegal to educate us at one time and today, the schools that are to educate us aren?t controlled by us, only populated by us, and from every critic?s view, it is not turning out graduates that can compete on a global level.

Those two front runners, to take his place as the next Pharoah, Oh, excuse me, President, have no commitment to ?Reparations? and the only one that expressed any real concern washed out and, is now supporting the one that say?s ?I?m with her?.

February 2nd 2016th, Bernie Sanders said, in response to being questioned about ?Reparations? and completely avoiding answering it directly, talked about the conditions of black people, but added poor Latinos and whites as well, with a general answer, ? You and I may disagree on this, it?s not just black. It is Latino. There are areas of America, in poorer rural America where its?s white. So, I believe that in a country that has more income and wealth ineaquality than any other country, then yes, the time is overdue to invest.?

Democratic Standard Bearer Former First Lady of America, Senator and Attorney General said, ?I think we should start studying what investments we need to make in communities to help individuals and families and communities move forward. And I?m absolutely committed to that. There are some good ideas out there. There?s an idea in the Congressional Black Caucus about really targeting federal dollars to communities that have had either disinvestment or no investment, and have had years of being below the poverty level. That?s the kind of thing I?d like us to focus on and really lift people up?.

Interestingly enough, both answers were to the same audience on different occasions as they were guests of the Iowa Brown & Black Forum. Repubican nominee, Trump, said, about African-American?s, ?If I were African-American, I wouldn?t like him very much. I will do more for the African-American people than Barack Obama has ever done,? and went on to say, ?People are going to partake. We are going to take back jobs from China, from Japan, Mexico, from all these countries that are ripping us off and African-Americans are going to benefit.? He went on to talk about Hispanics that have worked for him and how ?these are good people,? which for anyone beginning a sentence or using the word ?these,? could not or does not consider themselves in the same category as those that they are referencing.

And there you have the political climate as it stands now, nobody want?s to support ?Reparations? in its purest sense, but lets look at a legislator that helped to get us thinking about it?

U. S. Representative John Conyers of Michigan, a Democrat was in the American capitol in April attending a meeting on ?Racial Profiling,? and was asked about the status of ?Reparations?. He answered by saying, ?Since I first introduced H.R. 40 in 1989, we have made substantial progress in elevating this issue in the national consciousness. As recent poll numbers indicate, through legislation, state and local resolutions, and litigation, we are moving closer to a full dialogue on the role of slavery in building this country?, and continued by saying, ?For me, its not surprising that young people are more open minded on the reparations issue, since they have been the beneficiaries of a vastly more inclusive system of education on issues of civil rights and people of color. With the passage of time, I hope that this openness will foster a more robust dialogue on the continuing impact of race, creating space for solutions that may finally close the door to historical issues rooted in intolerance.?

Again, we see, the desire to study study study, and talk talk talk. The solution to the problem has already been answered; to give ?Reparations? to the descendants of those people that were damaged. It is pretty simple, but it is something that as the saying goes, ?The time has come

THE LOST FOUND NATION OF ISLAM

"We are just entering into a day and time that we should have had 100 years ago."
