The white man tells us that it is taken from the Latin word Nigra, which means black. Let's pursue this thought fur- ther, he said, the white man teaches us that we are called Negroes because we were brought from the Niger River in Africa. Thus, on what basis are we identified by a river while other peoples are identified by Nations from which they come. _Negro Not A Nationality — Let's be specific, he said, the Germans come from Germany, the French from France, Eng- lish from England, Egyptians from Egypt, Canadians from Canada, Greeks from Greece, Chinese from China, Japanese from Japan, Irish from Ireland, Phillipping from the Phillip- Then, who are the Negroes?

Let's be specific, he said, the ‘Germans come from Germany, the French from France, English from England, Egyptians from ‘Egypt, Canadians from Can- ada, Greeks from Greece, Chinese from China, Japanese from Japan, Irish from Ireland, [the Filipinos from the Philip- Pines. Then, who are the Negroes. If these other natlon- alities have their own ‘langu- age, then what is the language ofa Negro... .- - : In America, the Argerican of German descent is referred to as a German American, French referred to as French American, Japanese referred-to as Japan- ese American, Chinese Ameri- can, but you are referred to as an American-Negro. And, be- cause you fall to know and re. cognize yourself, has caused your disqualification in secur- ing Tespect, and recognition ether nationalities receive. Your failure ot receive your just re- alcolm Xo: Dented Citizenship For exampie, he said, the word Negro denies you your rights as a first-class citizen and the stigma places you in an Intolerable economical posi- tion. To follow this point, a black, Cuban American is re- cognized as a first-class citt- zen. A biack African is also recognized as 2 first-class citi- zen. This fact acknowledged because the Cuban comes from Cuba which fs a nation, the Japanese comes from Japan which is a nation, a Chinese comes from China which is a nation. But the Negro—what is his nation. The Black man representing the Ghana gavern- ment had breakfast with the President of the United States. He was not considered because of his color, but because he was representing a Nation, the nation of Ghana. The insult he received from a white restaur- ant owner in Maryland, caused the United States embarrass- ment. Negroes are lynched, hanged, discriminated against, segregated and there is not the slightest embarassment felt by the Government in Washing- ton, he concluded. What is the solution, just what should we do to eliminate this condition. We the so-called American Negro must UNITE OR DIE. Mubammed’s Solution The so-called American Negro's only hope for survival is among his own kind, is for unity. The mass unemployment in this country, the deepening depression, which will continue to worsen, it must according to economic determination. Hence, since the black man in America Tepresents the largest of the minority group, he must of necessity be the most exploited. His strength thus lies in unity with his own kind. Your first step in that direction is to learn of your origin, follow Mr. Eli- jah Muhammad, who is the only man in America bold enough and wise enough to teach us the things necessary for our Wberation of the white man's theory of white suprem-- acy.
