How Satan Has Taken Over Min. Farrakhan 5th Missionary Baptist Church St. Louis, Missouri 8/22/2000

[Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] thank you [Applause] thank you thank you in the thank you [Applause] okay in the name of allah the beneficent the merciful we give him praise and we give him thanks for his goodness his mercy and his loving kindness to the human family he sends down to us his mercy in the form of revelation designed to give us a greater knowledge of him a greater knowledge of ourselves as we march toward the perfection of the human spirit in the human being we thank him for moses and the torah we thank him for jesus and the gospel we thank him for muhammad and the quran peace be upon these worthy servants of allah i am a student of the most honorable elijah muhammad and i could never thank allah enough for his intervention in our affairs raising up among us one to lead teach and guide us to the straight path of god and to put us into the process that would ultimately bring us back to our original state and our original position as the righteous people of our planet i thank allah much for the most honorable elijah muhammad and i greet all of you my dear and wonderful brothers and sisters with the greeting words of peace we say it in the arabic language you know brothers and sisters when you get such a rousing welcome like that in show business they say you should quit while you're ahead thank you so much for your loving and warm welcome i want to thank our pastor the reverend duval for his gracious and kind permission to us to speak from his roster and to speak to you on behalf of our suffering people and what must be done i am honored by the distinguished brothers and sisters who are on this uh platform and i'm honored by the brothers and sisters who are here and i personally want to thank each of you who prayed for me that i might recover from my near-death experience that i might continue to serve you as best i can yes that is evident and i thank god for your love and i know that love in the hearts of the people for any individual is a gift of god and it is nothing to be taken lightly certainly i love you and i have worked for now 46 years on behalf of black people and as i said earlier today while i visited the mayor and the council and leaders of east saint louis love is the fuel that gives you an indefatigable spirit that never allows you to tire in your service of god and your service of the people of god without love you cannot endure the slings the arrows the dots that come against you when you take positions that the world does not like this is a world that has persecuted the prophets of god and this is a world that has killed the righteous so when you stand up in the name of god to fight for the eternal principles upon which life is built and the number one principle upon which life is built is freedom the next principle is justice and the next principle is equality these three principles are the basis of life itself and when you fight for these principles you never die because these principles are eternal and those that struggle for freedom justice and equality struggle for life itself i thank god that that is what i have given my life for and that is to struggle on behalf of a people that i love of people that are abused are people that are deprived of these essentials of life itself we are yet not free we are yet not justified and we are yet not equal no one can give you equality really no one can give you freedom anytime someone gives you something check it out you may not have what you think is in your hands but freedom freedom is something earned i'm going to say that again freedom is something earned by self-development in accord with the laws of god i can give you a simple analysis analogy so that you will understand why i say freedom can never be given the emancipation proclamation was just that somebody proclaimed you free but the fact of the matter is you are still singing we shall overcome so if we are still singing we shall overcome that means a lot of things to our dear pastor it means that we may not know jesus as well as we think because to know jesus is not to speak in terms of we shall to really know jesus you will have to say we have overcome if you really know him the bible teaches you in the book of revelations that jesus overcame and to all those you see who found you know that tree of life god gave them power to overcome now the fact of the matter is we are still singing because we haven't put our hands on the handle of the power that will enable us to overcome yet we know this power in the blood there's power in the water but you are baptized in the water and still singing and you are still drinking the wine or the grape juice which represents his blood and you're eating the bread and still singing we shall so maybe there's something we need to understand now i'm gonna i'm gonna say some very quick points to verify the truth of what i just said there is power in water and there is power in blood the blood is the life fluid of every living creature and the power or the weakness of that creature is seen in the blood for the blood is the life of that creature there's power in water because all life comes from water without water there is no life and in the holy quran it says his throne is on water this means that his power over water is what brings all the various life forms up out of water so when you have the water of life on you it should bring up out of you that that god has deposited in you of himself and if your blood is the strength of your life meaning that god is in your life then your blood spiritually and literally is purified by the presence of god in your life well communion only means being in contact with if you had the phone number of god would you call him up the phone number of god is not to dial or to punch the phone number of god is given to each human being when we're birthed in the world we know how to call him the first sound that the baby makes is a cry and when the prophets were beset with problems all around they said i cried out unto the lord that means i dialed him i phoned him out of my need i cried out and i wondered when would my help come one of the prophets in the holy quran his name was noah you know him in the bible as he built this ark and the people were mocking him and scorning and laughing at him and in the quran his words were lord i am all but overcome when will my help come and the lord answered saying your help is nigh he cried out unto the lord jesus in the hour of his great tribulation his great trial his great passion he cried out unto the lord and the bible says he said these words ailee ali lama sabachthani and they say it means my god my god why have you forsaken me i don't know whether jesus said words like that because he knew that god would not forsake him but when he prayed the book says god heard him and when god hears the sincere cry of one who earnestly seeks him he answers and he answered jesus he answered moses he answered the prophets he has answered many of your prayers but the big answer lord we are beset on all sides we want to overcome but when will our help come and he said unto noah and he says unto you your help is nine brothers and sisters the bread of life is the word of god you can't live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of god if you really want power you have to open your ears if you open your ears the word will enter if you open your heart the word of god will take root in you you didn't hear that i i really need to say that again if you open your ears incline your ear to the word of god the word will enter the ear and if you incline your heart to the word that you hear the word will enter the heart and take root there and when the word takes root in the heart then god himself is in the word his power is in the word and that's why the bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god if the word listen listen if the word enters your ear and finds a firm resting place in your heart and god is with the word and the word is god then the spirit of that word is the energy and the power of that word which is the spirit of god listen listen listen when that word is fed and grows in you you become a reflection of the power of the wisdom of the strength of the mercy of the beneficence of the god that you serve listen good now once he is in you [Music] and you connect to him by your obedience to the word that is now taking root in you then you can say greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world and if god [Applause] is in you then you have the power to overcome the world you have the power to remove any impediment that stands in the way of your attaining what god intends for you to attain so i said earlier freedom is earned by self-development according to a law each one of us are the product of sperm mixed with ovum deposited in a dark place that found a firm resting place in the womb and as our mothers fed we fed and we grew in the tiny house called that house kept expanding to accommodate our growth and when it could not expand anymore one of two things had to happen we had to come forth out of that house into a house that could hold us or baby died or mother died or both died freedom is earned by self-development when that could not hold us any longer mama had to lay down and give us up and thus we were made free from the tiny house it wasn't an emancipation proclamation we proclaimed our freedom by coming forth out of the womb saying this house cannot hold me anymore and i say to you black man and woman and all those who feel oppressed you don't have to petition somebody else [Applause] you don't have to beg somebody else if you are in harmony with the law of growth and development you will outgrow their ability to hold you and when we have outgrown the oppressor's ability to hold us two things have to happen the oppressor has to lay down and give it up or both of us die so we don't have to go to washington to petition them to free us petition god and be in harmony with his law and you will evolve naturally and then any house that's too small to hold you you just keep pushing on the walls until they gotta lay down and give the burden up we are almost at the door of our own liberation and don't know it just before liberation comes you see the baby takes a turn the problem the problem with the life was the foot was where the head should have been and the head is where the foot was so there has to be a turn and what i'm suggesting is that the time has come for those who've been playing the role of head but really been foot and then the head the natural head forces the turn it just turns then the natural head comes to the front to forge the way come on for that body to come forth there's a little blood as a show to let mama know it's time [Applause] the bleeding and the dying of the poor in the streets of america at the hands of an oppressor and at our own hands is the sign it's almost time but we have to move the feet that have been playing like dead ahead what i'm suggesting to you is that the leadership of black people is a weak leadership what i'm suggesting to you is that the leadership of black people has compromised our future what i'm suggesting to you is that the so-called leadership is so happy to be a part of that which has destroyed us that they don't want to be free from the power that has destroyed us so these feet must be put in their proper place i mean no disrespect to the great political leadership [Applause] i mean no disrespect to those who are in the process called politics that have tried to lead us but politics is the art of compromise i'll give you this you give me that the problem here is it's not a quid pro quo you end up giving your soul and you get nothing in return i know we need politics but the politicians need to have god the politicians need to hear the word of god not come to church or mosque or temple invoke time and don't care nothing about god in the meantime but if you're gonna be a real good political leader then there is no governance without god he is the governor general he is the supreme potentiate he is that that has given you and me the right of authority so without god you are already weak to carry out any position that you choose in service to the people no such thing as separation of church and state this is a game being played on you by the wicked satanic forces of the world let's take god out of politics let's take god out of school let's take god out of life and then satan can come in and run the game of politics satan can then run school satan can then run the institutions that are charged with the stewardship of the human being dear pastors we can't give up our responsibility we are in the mold of the old prophets old prophets stood on the wall as watchmen if we are on our job we are watching watching what are you watching for if you were in the army and you were given a post to stand god you're standing god over something of value sleeping on your post is dangerous in wartime it's punishable by death watchman get up on the wall watchman watch out for the sheep watchman the wolves come to eat the sheep watchman sound the alarm watchman go out and kill the wolf that wants to kill the sheep watchman get on your job but if the watchman falls asleep on the wall then the sheep get eaten up by the wolves and unfortunately the spiritual teachers in america almost said the spiritual teachers in america have fallen asleep on the watch and satan is the master of the house satan runs the schools satan runs the church satan runs the mosque satan runs the synagogue satan is in the temple [Applause] satan has taken over the holy places [Applause] satan is in mecca satan is in rome satan is in jerusalem satan has taken over you say well he ain't got me hold on if you look at the moral condition of america and the world satan has taken over our houses satan has gotten into our marriages satan has the world in his hands you say he don't have me that's not what i read in the scripture uh let me share with you what i read i read that there was a man named job and satan and god were having a conversation and the sons of god came to present themselves before god and the devil came also with them that means they were hanging out with the devil now i don't understand how the sons of god could hang out with the devil when the scripture teaches that your company you know that you keep tells us who you are jesus sat with the sinners he was not one he sat with them because his aim was to transform their lives but the sons of god were hanging out hanging out with the devil didn't even know that the devil was walking with them and when they came to present themselves before god god said when's coming thou satan i'm sure the sons of god was shocked huh and satan answered saying i come from walking up and down going to and fro in the earth seeking whom i [Music] [Applause] i just think about what you eat i'm sure you look well fed to me that means you devoured something and what you devoured your system broke it down and the best of it became a part of you isn't that true so the words that satan used he said i'm i'm trying to devour things i'm eating stuff up so it becomes a part of my system my world a god didn't have too many choices he didn't say have you considered my people [Music] have you considered all these people on my left over here on my right over here or in the center he didn't say that he said have you considered my servant job he's a righteous man and he eschews or shuns evil satan talking back he said yeah yeah yeah yeah but it's just a modern translation satan said yeah the only reason he's with you is because you put that hedge around him but you remove that hedge and i will make him curse you to your face god said fair enough i'll remove the hedge only thing i ask is that you spare his life do anything you want to to him now imagine job he don't know what conversation is going on about him [Applause] can you imagine how job was feeling if he could have heard that conversation and what what y'all talking about don't do this to me we are never there on that level when consultation is made over us this same conversation is in the holy quran but in a different way god is talking to iblis or shaytan and he's talking back to god and he says to god because you have caused me to remain disappointed i'm going to lie in wait for them right in that straight path i'm gonna come to them from before them from behind them from their left side from their right side you're not gonna find most of them thankful i'm gonna make all of them deviate oh look at the word all right oh check the word out oh it's satan talking stuff i'm going to make them all deviate and allah said whosoever follows you i will certainly fill hell with you all and then in another place in the holy quran he says you will get all except my purified ones and i know you all believe you're the purified ones [Applause] wouldn't wouldn't you be upset if you found out that the body of christ has been eaten up has been devoured and has become a part of satan's system would that hurt your feelings well i don't mean to hurt your feelings but that's exactly what has happened mecca is not what mecca should be rome never was what rome should be jerusalem is not what jerusalem should be sacred cities are not sacred anymore [Music] why satan is there bloodshed is there hatred is there unrighteousness is there unrighteousness is in the home unrighteousness in the school unrighteousness in the church in the mosque in the synagogue unrighteousness rules him that hath ears let him hear look dear beloved people as slaves or the children of slaves we were mastered by that which was not of god to begin with when our fathers were brought from africa here the intention was that we should be mastered by our masters to serve their purpose which was not the purpose of god will you agree and because their intention for us was to make us servitude slaves to fulfill their aim their purpose their desire then they had to break us and separate us from anything that would impede their desire to make us into their property so they took from us any connection to africa name gone language gone culture gone history gone religion gone god gone [Applause] they had to break up our family because without family you have nothing family is the basic unit of civilization strong family strong community strong family strong nation strong family strong world break up the family and when you break up the family you have to take god out of the family in order to break up the family but make them think god is there it was god who created the heavens and the earth in five days according to the bible and on the sixth day he said let us make man in our image and after our likeness and let us give them dominion over the fowl of the air the fish of the sea and every creeping thing that crawls think over that dominion rulership everything that god created he said after he created it he said ah this is good on the first day it was good on the second day it was good on the third day it was good on the fourth day and the fifth day it was good on the sixth day he made man he didn't say anything [Applause] he didn't say no he didn't say i made the man and this could he didn't say that he said i made the man he reserved comment he knew good was in the man because he made the man in his image so good is in the man but it'll be some time before that good is manifest so i ain't talking right now on that but then he said something was not good and guess what that was he said it is not good that the man should be alone oh i like that now i really like that god you know what i mean let every man in the house say amen when god said it wasn't good that the man be alone there was a reason for that some men don't understand that principle and i hope one day i get a chance to talk to the pope so that he might free the priests and let them marry because a man can't be a man without a woman i'm gonna say that again when god said it wasn't good that man be alone then he gave the man a woman it's good stuff he didn't give the man another man he gave him a woman now wait i'm not upsetting you am i [Applause] and wait wait wait wait wait i don't want to be offensive to any of my brothers or sisters who have a way of living that god dis approves of but none of us are so free of what god disapproves of that we can look at one part of what he disapproves of and point the finger like we are some holy group let's get that out of the way i love all of my brothers and sisters no matter what condition of life they're in they're in that condition because of certain circumstances that can be changed now he said it wasn't good i like that that the man should be alone so he gives the man a woman and the way the bible writes that thing or the translators write it they say he gave the woman to the man as a help meet not m-e-a-t [Applause] which many of us have used the women like a piece of meat m-e-a-t but he gave the woman to the man to help him to meet the requirements that god put on the man when he made him now what are those requirements y'all all right now look at the commands that god gave to the man he said one multiply two replenish the earth three subdue it these are not verbal commands that are outside of us these are natural commands that are born in the nature of us as human beings multiply nobody got to tell you that hello [Applause] if you don't go to school you'll learn how to multiply sooner or later and that's the reason all of us are here [Laughter] because that command is in the nature of us but on a higher level i want us to go up high because the scripture says my thoughts are not your thoughts my ways are not your ways i am from above while you are from beneath what that is saying is that god's thoughts and ways are high but we have fallen since the time of adam and we are living on a plane of life that is far beneath what we can live on we are living on a level that john the revelator called the level of the beasts so there were four great beasts who dominated the earth and the people had the mark of the beast in their forehead and in their hands that means we were thinking on a sub-human level and we were acting on a subhuman level now follow follow this taking it up high multiplication happens you don't have to plan it you don't have to think on it it just happens but there's another form of multiplication that is on another level you can't have multiplication without a multiplier a multiplicand and the produce a product what is in the nature of the human being is that each of us have the command to be productive productive produce a product and listen to me carefully god has never approved of human beings living on handouts listen listen listen you can't find that nowhere in nature except in the human being can you imagine big bird and blackbird goes up to big bird and say look a big bird uh i i don't have any worms uh is it possible that you could give me some that you could give me some because my children over here you understand they hungry and i need some worms and they told me you have a lot of them you laugh because it sounds silly for a bird to act that way how much more profoundly silly is it for a human being made in the image of god to be hanging around somebody else's door begging them to do for us what it is in our nature to do for ourselves multiply replenish the earth put it in another way adam was told dress the garden that means everything that you need to make a good life for yourself and your children is already here on the earth or in the earth you are the multiplier the creation is the multiplicand and if you've got knowledge you use your knowledge on creation and produce what it is that you need to make life better for you and your family and this is what the slave master wanted to destroy in the slave the creative mind of a producer the creative mind of a multiplier the creative mind of one who would dress the earth or take from the earth what is in the earth form it according to a vision in the head and then leave it to your posterity as a sign of your having been present on the earth your fathers built civilization and they left behind in the sands monuments to their wisdom so that the progeny would see that your fathers were great wise men and women you have a doctorate degree but you're a long long long way off from what your father's used to do now when the slave master broke us broke the family broke the mail corrupted the female i want you to hear me there can be no great nation without a woman there can be no great people without a woman when you deprive the female you have deprived yourself this is why all of the religions that claim god and abraham need to be reformed christianity you need to be reformed judaism you need to be reformed listen to me muslims islam you need to be reformed in the way that you are you are displeasing god all of you i see it again christians you have made god happy with your madness jewish people you have not made god happy with your madness muslims you have not made allah happy with your madness each one of you have put the woman in a box each one of you have deprived women yes you have and you want to blame that on jesus blame it on muhammad blame it on the prophets i'm sorry the prophets are not guilty of that that's you and your misunderstanding of scripture your misunderstanding of the prophets you have made a mess of the earth and you have made a mess of the people because you have made a mess of the woman now my dear sisters look if you don't think that satan has eaten up the house just look at us to you when you look in the mirror you are all right because you are perfectly in style but who said it who set the style what kind of mind did they have that makes you feel stylish by the styles set by somebody that is an enemy of god look at you [Applause] if god created the woman look at this now to be the help meet of the man the holy quran puts it a little differently holy quran says he created the woman as a consoler of the man that he might find peace and quiet of mind in her that's your nature female that's what you would do for a man when a man does for you what god put in your nature to demand from him see brothers we hear the mouth of our wives or the mouth of our girlfriends and we think oh man this woman is always on my case what's wrong with this woman but the woman is not speaking to you out of the frustration of her mind she's speaking to you out of the frustration of her nature the holy quran says god created the man to be the maintainer of the woman now satan got this reverse it's the woman maintaining the man now you tell me sisters can you really really truly truly love a man that you are maintaining talk back to me what i'm suggesting to you is that we ourselves are the promoters of adultery there is not a woman in this audience and there's not a woman listening by radio that would commit adultery if we as men fulfill the demands of their nature talk to me sisters tell them that i'm telling the truth sisters my dear and beloved sisters look you are created by god in a special way you are not ordinary a woman is she's the most special of god's creatures she is more like god i want you to listen listen listen her love for what she produces is like god's love for his people this is why prophet muhammed said heaven lies at the foot of mother that's what the prophet said when the companions came to the prophet and they said dear prophet who should we honor most after god and his messenger the prophet said your mother the companion asked who next he said your mother companion became a little confused he said well prophet who after that he said your mother and when the companion asked him one more time he said your father a woman is three the value of a man no no no no no no order in the court brother man don't be angry with me but until we understand the value of women and treat them according to their value we will never be the men that god wanted us to be yes he created us first he created us in his image but he didn't leave her out she's in his image too sisters the woman is so special that through you comes our future everybody is concerned about what tomorrow will bring tomorrow is today in the womb of a woman and if you want a better tomorrow help to make a better woman if you want a godly future help to make a godly woman never in judaism don't deprive the woman of the knowledge of the torah don't say she cannot perform priestly duties if the woman is baptized in the water of the word she will bring forth a righteous life and a world savior for the people if the muslim woman is baptized in the wisdom of the quran she will bring forth a child and she will feed that child the wisdom of the word that her heart and mind are baptized in dear christians they say that in certain denominations of christianity the female is not allowed up on this platform stand down okay okay okay paul said the woman should be quiet in the church that's paul but i never heard jesus say that and i think i am all right to check paul if i think paul has gone somewhere straight now i love paul that don't mean he can't be checked [Music] because he's paul that don't mean he's perfect himself admitted to his imperfection the companions of the prophet is not the prophet i'm not commanded to obey them like i obey the prophet i'm not commanded to obey the apostles of christ as i am to obey christ now i want to say something there's a few more points and then we'll tie the subject up and and then and then i hope to see you at the million family march but i'll get to that in a minute i'll get to that in a minute everybody all right [Applause] now listen to this please this rostrum is holy it's sacred who built it who designed this some man right who designed it beautiful it's nice isn't it have you been to the vatican i have it's magnificent it's magnificent who designed it have you been to jerusalem i have i've seen the beautiful houses of worship i marvel at them have you been to mecca i have i've seen the holy house al-haram in mecca and i've seen the prophet's mosque in medina magnificent magnificent but this is the hand of man we are the handiwork of god tell me is this house or any mosque church synagogue more sacred than a human being who has consecrated and dedicated their life to the service of god are you hearing me there is nothing in creation greater than the human being nothing therefore these houses are signs an architect got together he planned how to take matter from the earth form it again into this beautiful house and we applaud him for that this has outlived many many men but it's not greater than any other men that it outlived you are the real house of god the human being is the real house of god if you let him come in in the word find a resting place in your heart and then feed him in you with more of the word than he grows on the inside of you and you become more holy than the house that we are sitting in and therefore if i will not say or do anything to profane this house i should never say or do anything to profane this house i should never make a nuisance of myself in the house of god neither should i make a nuisance of myself among the people of god if i should not take a hammer god is love i i think i'll take my hammer and if you saw me with a hammer going to bust the wall of the church you would say grab that man he's insane nobody sane would do that to the house of god but then we take a hammer to this living house of god and we beat it till the blood runs out we shoot it and we cut it because we have no respect for this house because satan has taken over the house and instead of the house being an object of honor and respect the house is dishonored and and an emissary of hatred and a producer of hatred because satan has taken over the house the family has been disintegrated they wanted it that way so that we could never come together females you were made by god that the eye of the man would be attracted by the way god made you he can't help himself if he's a real man if he's a real man he can't help but look at the female that's the way nature made him so how do you really mess him up you give him more of the female to see that'll mess up the man he can't think straight as it is now you really gonna mess him up so the stylist says see if i if i bring him all the way down i'm going to make a dog out of him and reverse god see the opposite of god is dog in the language god spell backwood is dogs so if we can turn the man backward and make a dog out of the man then he succeeded in reversing what god's intention was in his creation of the man and how he does this is very scientific he said now in the righteous world where we came from see the woman is covered this is not a form of slave resistance that's not what it's meant for no no no sisters god covers you so that men won't lust in their hearts for you so that when you meet a man you meet him on a higher principle if you meet him on the lowest principle then you see that's what you get you get a man that's fascinated by you and pleasure and then when he has used you and used you up he moves on to the next one and you wonder why the man is like that he'd been made like that from slavery he never was made to respect the woman during slavery you were always to be an object to be used not cultivated not maintained by the black man you were to be used for pleasure and procreation and that unfortunately is the way you live your life today you're used for pleasure and procreation but not considered you can't come up here you can't preach you shut up in the church but without you there wouldn't be no church now this just look at this i'm gonna close this point and i'm finished i'm gonna finish listen listen listen i was in a church recently and i said dear pastor if mary the mother of jesus came in the church and asked could she come up and speak to the audience and share with them some of the conversations that she had with the angels that talked to her about what she was producing in her womb would you tell the mother of jesus i'm sorry mary you can't come up here see this is holy could this place be more holy than the womb that brought forth the messiah i mean just just think about madness now here's jesus there's no rostrum more holy than jesus is that right would you agree with that pastor no roster more holy than the man that you're preaching all right while that man was among us he preached and women ministered unto him according to the book they hugged jesus yes they did they washed his feet lord have mercy when they took him before pilate and condemned him to death the disciples ran away except john the men cut out on him the men it went to peter and i i don't even know the man i've never seen i'd never seen the baby but the women followed him all the way to calvary and according to the scripture the disciples that had run away there were two or three marys at the foot of the cross to my christian brothers and sisters when jesus came into the world there was a woman present when no man up in there jesus ministered and yet christianity doesn't begin from his birth or his ministry christianity begins at the cross isn't that something it begins when you thought or the people thought it would end with his crucifixion that was the beginning and at the beginning it was women at his feet his mother being number one and before he gave up the ghost according to the book these are his words woman behold thy son what a touching scene man that's heavy drama the disciples in the upper room they ain't talking and the master lord what happened to him he thought i'm saying i understand it i think it was two women that went to the tomb and it was women that came and told them he's gone to deny women their rightful place in the social order is to deny your balance and that's why you crazy as hell in all the things that you do i don't believe there would be as many wars if women who bear their children with fainting and pain were sitting there making helping to make decisions yes the woman's base is the home but her place is beside her man helping him to meet the obligation that god has put on the man and now let me conclude we had a better family life after slavery than we have right now because when they let us out even under emancipation we yet not free but at least we understood we had to get married [Music] if we jumped over a broom whatever we did there was marriage look in the shacks in the south as sharecroppers there was a mother a father and children check it out dad was a working dad he went out chopping cotton or he went out hunting and possum but the woman was in that shack helping to rear those children when it was quitting time the pot was on on the stove [Applause] and you could smell the food when papa was coming out of the field he could smell the vitals cooking [Applause] but mama was in that house children heard that his footsteps coming like adam heard the footsteps of god in the garden and the children started pulling himself together please mama don't don't don't don't tell daddy what i did today because daddy represented the discipline in that house you all know what i'm talking about and in that house we had hardly nothing but we had each other and god god was in that shack when we sat down at the table you didn't eat nothing without saying a prayer and you got down on your knees before you went to bed and when you woke up in the morning you thank god for waking you up that's the old days you got beautiful apartments you got homes you got cars you got diamond rings you got mink coats oh you dressed up now but you don't have a good marriage and your home life is terrible and there is no discipline in your home any home that doesn't have rules is a home where there really is no love children growing up with no rules in the house and a father today can't even enforce rules if he spanks the behind of his son or his daughter and a whelp is on his or her butt she called 911 and here comes the police you see see what my mama did you see this wrap on my arm on my back on my butt mama did that to me you did that miss jones this is abuse miss jones will have to arrest you and take your child i say will i be this is supposed to be a christian nation not the raw spoil the child to everyone within the sound of my voice your behind was made for that yes it was what is a little whelp on your butt [Applause] there was a little old lady that used to come to my house when i was a little fella she was about four foot ten real dark skin short hair she was from the beautiful island of barbados in the caribbean she had a lot of children and she disciplined her children and all of them turned out to be giants and this one day she was beating her son and he was screaming to high heavens and the neighbors called the police so a big irish policeman came knocked on the door while she was in the middle of the business and when she opened the door he said pardon me ma'am i i got a call that they heard screaming coming from this apartment are you whipping your child she said yes come in and close the door [Applause] she looked at him she said your mother beat you he said yes ma'am she said she said you see that stick on your waist and that gun on your hip you know why i beaten mine today i beat in mine today so you don't have to bt or shoot it tomorrow so you so she told him so you stand right there while i break her ass and she pulled him out from under the bed and worked him over and when she was finished she said no you can go now today they can beat you within an inch of your life with a stick and then take you before the judge and justify beating you down they can shoot you 19 times and then a board of inquiry will save justifiable homicide but you mean to tell me i can't justify putting a strap on my baby's behind authority is being taken from the parents satan is in the house satan ruling the house we got to take back our houses from satan [Applause] and this is why i'm asking those more than a million men come on back to washington bring your wives bring your girlfriends bring your children and let's reconstruct family life among our people family life if it is reconstructed will give us the power as a family to ward off the dangers in the society that are coming against the family i'm asking you to come for more than just a march i'm interested in mobilizing millions of us organizing energizing politicizing all of us and then leveraging that unity that mobilization to get from government what government will never give to the people unless there's a force in the people to force government to be what government is supposed to be in the service of the people are you listening to me corporate america is robbing the american people of what democracy is supposed to be special interests control your corporate politicians not necessarily in the interest of the people we can take government back from the rich corporate how easy it is you don't watch the way they vote on issues that affect life and summons me since i'm supposed to be your servant and you asked me why did you vote the way you did uh councilman well to tell you the truth i thought that it was best best for who what did we get from that vote then you threaten them threaten them you know in an intelligent way now you go back there and straighten that out or otherwise you won't be there no more and i guarantee you since they got to come home they live among us you got to make them more afraid to sell us out then they are afraid of the caucasian who is in power fear of the white man is your problem not the white man it is your fear of him that causes you to act a fool when you should be standing up for yourself and your people once you lose fear of anybody but god you become a free individual from that moment on now i'm suggesting to you that we have the power to change the reality of things the power is really in people you say but the law is on the book yeah yeah yeah but god said i will write a new law on the tablet of your heart the people are the law if all of us unite we change anything we want to change do you believe that [Applause] now one thing that's written in the new testament i can do what through who which you believe that well then let's try to do some of them all things we can stop corporate america from taking over the country i mean they've already taken it but we can take it back oh yes see if the more than a million men come and there were nearly 2 million there and you bring your wives your children your girlfriend and if we construct the proverbs all of us take you to the victory now look i appreciate the way you cheered for me when i came in and i appreciate you telling me you love me and the only reason you love me is because you know sell you out and your aspirations listen you you prayed for me that god would bring me back from death and god brought me back for what for what why did god bring me back i feel i feel like hezekiah hezekiah was about to die [Applause] and hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed and god told the prophet go tell hezekiah i heard the prayer and i'm going to give him 15 more years if god gives me 15 more years all i'm asking you to do since you know i've been true to you i have never lied to you i have never robbed you now i'm asking you back me up if i get one million of you to back me up i promise you you will have the freedom that you want you will have the justice that you seek you will have the life that god wants you to live so help me god back me up and i will give you what you want may god bless you as i greet you in peace assalamu alaikum you
