NATION OF ISLAM "Let me explain, the Honorable ELIJAH MUHAMMAD G@oesn't teach segregation he teaches separation. The basic difference being segration he says, is that which 48 forced upon inferiors by superiors, Whereas separation is done voluntarily by two equals and an example, you notice they call the Negro neighborhood a segregated neighborhood, but they never call the oriental neighborhood segregated neighborhood, Because the orientals control their own businesses, their own banks, their own schools, $hadtes warm ater? ht ee Real é¢heacr awe Gut anand an é bh ocr er BRM le WIVES Se Ok Ff bed del oe ai isa Wao YER bd Ae BR Edd lg tek She live there among themselves voluntarily. But, usualiy the area where Negroes live they are forced into their ghetto, or forced into their school. The schools are controlled by whites, the banks are controlled by whites, in the Negro neighborhood, the businesses are controlled by whites except the California Golden State Mutual. Because of this since the Negroes neighborhood is segregated, which means it is regulated from the outside, we are always begging the white man for better education, begging him for better jobs, begging him for better housing, instead of doing something to create housing for ourselves, education for ourselves, and whatever else we need for ourselves. Now, the Honorable ELIJAH MUHAMMAD says when black people are in a position to stand on our own two feet like men then we can separate. We can do for ourselves that which whites have been doing for themselves. This is all he says and as long as you try to integrate or force yourself into a neighborhood, or into the company of some people who dentt want you, you'll always be a begger in their society. "As long as America professes to be the citadel of democracy and the leader of the so-called. free world, at a time when she is not able to give freedom, justice, and equality to 20 million black people in this country, America will be looked upon with scorn and rejection by an ever increasing number of the black people in this country despite what the bourgeois Negro leadership says. * -7-
