Now the Quran tells us the color of the first man.

First man is called Adam.

In the Quran it says Allah created him from black mud and fashioned him into shape.

Stop.

Since my body is from the earth, if he created the first man from black mud, step up anthropologist, step up historian.

Step up biologist, step up geneticist, talk to me.

thumbnail

If the first man were white, the yellow man couldn’t even get here.

Because two white people cannot produce anything other than what they are.

Talk to me.

For decades, white supremacy has pushed one central claim into textbooks, pulpit, and television screens.

That white people were first.

That white people were original.

and that white dominance was written into the fabric of humanity itself.

It reinforced myths that black people were intellectually inferior, that colonization brought enlightenment to univilized lands, and that racial hierarchy was natural, justified, and meant to exist.

But all of those were never true.

They were just lies made to justify conquest, sanitize slavery, and rationalize the destruction of entire civilizations across Africa, the Americas, and beyond.

After all, if you can convince the world that you were first, then you can pretend everything you stole was yours by divine right.

On April 11th, 1994, at Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, Minister Lewis Farrakhan stood before a room of men and tore into those myths without hesitation.

It was in this speech that he exposed the reality all along.

Black people are not mere footnotes in history.

They were not a branch from someone else’s root.

They were the root, the beginning, the original people from whom humanity emerged.

and from whom the earliest foundations of culture, knowledge, and innovation spread across the earth.

If you’re ready to hear the rest of Minister Farrakhan’s powerful speech on black identity and the reality of our origins, then lean in because what you’re about to hear will challenge everything they told you.

Give this video a like to show your support and subscribe so you never miss another moment of unfiltered truth with us.

Now, let’s begin.

White people, listen to me good now.

You can’t produce us.

It’s a mathematical genetic impossibility.

So if you were the first, we couldn’t have got here.

The black man has in himself the whole range of color because black is not a color.

It is the essence from which all color comes.

Now, now brothers, if God created you from himself, that means every one of you is a God and has God’s divine nature in you.

As David the Psalmist says, “Yeah, are all gods, children of the most high God.

” Now, let’s get the Bible and Quran to back this up.

In the Bible, the apostle says, “How can you love God? whom you have never seen and hate your brother whom you see every day.

Let’s stop a minute.

Let’s look deeper.

What do you mean? How can you love God whom you’ve never seen and then hate your brother? Then there’s something in your brother that is of God.

So when you hurt your brother, you’re hurting your father.

Yeah.

If you are God, not big God, but a little God made as the Bible says, in the image, and the likeness of God.

Then Elijah Muhammad said, “Every time I see a black man, I’m looking at God.

And therefore, brothers, when you got a gun in your pocket and you go on and shoot a black man, that’s like shooting a bit of God.

Oh yeah.

When you watch the life ooze out of your brother every time you squeeze the trigger, life is oozing out of you.

Because love can’t find a place in you for your brother if you’re constantly raping, robbing, destroying your brother.

This is your family.

We are not just family from the same mother, but we are family from the same God.

Yes sir.

So you are truly my brother and I am truly yours.

So I make a pact.

Go ahead.

I will give my life for you sir.

Because my life is not more important than yours.

You are greater.

I am lesser.

Yes sir.

So I must become your servant.

Yes sir.

And you must see your people like that.

Yes sir.

When your brother is down that’s you.

Yes sir.

Help pick him up.

Don’t let different colors make you different people.

Don’t say he got on red, man.

He ain’t one of the bloods.

He got on blue, man.

Yeah.

He ain’t one of the brothers.

He didn’t get a right sign.

He ain’t one of the brothers.

Yes, sir.

When you look in his face and you see the mark of the beast, that’s your brother.

That’s right.

Who has been destroyed like you and you must never ever again hurt your brother.

When you and your brother have an argument, develop the intelligence to reason with each other and not reach in your pocket.

For generations, the same power structure that enslaved us, segregated us, redlinined our neighborhoods, and flooded our streets with drugs and illegal guns has benefited from black men turning on each other.

The same institutions that built plantations later built prisons.

The same system that once chained our wrist now profits from our division.

And when we internalize that violence, when we aim it at each other, we become participants in our own weakening.

Farrakhan wants all of us to remember that when you put a gun in your pocket and use it against a black man, you are not just harming him.

You are attacking your own reflection.

You are striking at the image of God carried in your brother.

All of us human beings We share origin.

We share a creator.

That bond is deeper than colors, sets, neighborhoods, or disagreements.

So instead of reaching into your pocket when anger rises, Farrakhan calls for discipline and intelligence.

Develop the strength to reason.

Develop the courage to serve.

Lift each other.

Stop doing the enemy’s work for him.

Now, keep listening because what comes next is Farrakhan’s ultimate warning delivered through the story of a donkey and a colt.

But I want to just show you in conclusion the meaning of the story of the donkey and the and the colt and show you how this amount of men together.

I show you what we could do right here in Houston.

Right.

And you’ll never be broke and powerless if you have unity.

There’s an ass tie untied.

White folks got us tied up to them, but they’re not using us.

Therefore, by the law of nonuse, they have forfeited their right to hold us.

Listen, Jesus is not a thief.

He didn’t tell his disciples, “Go and untie him and bring him to me.

” When you got a tie on you, that means you belong to somebody else.

But the master had come and he paid a price to redeem to redeem them.

So he said, “No, they not using you.

I’ve suffered for you.

Go untie them.

I got need.

Bring the ass to me.

” Yeah.

I’m not speaking vulgar.

No.

Then Jesus rides into Jerusalem on the ass or the donkey.

People saying hosana.

Do you know in the history there has never been to my knowledge a leader who calls black men out to a special meeting to talk to black men.

Go check the history.

Brothers, brothers, if this happens in 15 or 20 cities across the country, what do you think they’re thinking? See, you are the unlearned, the donkey.

Faracan is who you came to hear.

That means you are the wave or the wind beneath his wings.

Yes, sir.

So when they record this meeting, they’re going to say that Farcon, he’s getting them black men stirred up.

He’s more dangerous than any we’ve had.

The moment Jesus got on the donkey and rode into Jerusalem, his time was numbered because they in secret council said he got to die.

I’m telling you tonight, they have already decided Farcon got to go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

They They made their plans, but God made his.

You don’t have to worry about that.

I don’t believe they have a gun big enough Go ahead to shoot me from here across the street.

If it doesn’t please God, please go ahead.

If it pleases God that I die, then it pleases me to die.

I don’t think so.

We got work to do.

So, here you are all tied up.

I’m one of the master’s disciples.

I saw you tied.

I’m here tonight to loose you.

All right.

Yes, sir.

Come on, black man.

We We got a job to do.

Got a job to do.

I don’t care what work you’re doing now.

You got a bigger job to do for God.

And since you said, “Lord, if you get me out of trouble this one time, I’ll serve you.

” Now, here’s the way God wants you to serve me.

First of all, brothers, each of us have to decide to clean up our act.

This body is the real house of God.

Not this.

No.

No.

Not this building.

Not this building.

Not this building.

It’s a beautiful building.

But this building is not the real house of God.

This is the architecture of men.

This is the craftsmanship of God.

So you must never violate the house of God.

You shouldn’t eat improper foods, unclean foods, clogging up your beautiful system with unclean foods.

Some of you drove good cars.

I saw them parked all out there.

And brothers, you’re not going to put cheap gas in that finely engineered engine.

Yes.

You put the highest octane in it cuz you don’t want it pinging and going on.

And then you go and sit at McDonald’s and feed this magnificent house garbage.

It’s a great house, brother, but you got to take care of it.

Houses need maintenance.

As Farrakhan revealed, the donkey in scripture actually represents the black community.

Tied up, restricted, bound to a system that claimed ownership over our movement and our labor.

White America tied us to itself through slavery, segregation, and economic control.

But by the law of non-use, if you are not being used for a righteous purpose, the one holding the rope loses the right to keep you bound.

He said, “The master has come to untie the donkey to redeem it, to give it purpose in service to God, not in service to oppression.

” He reminded us that when we gather with purpose, direction, and unity, those in power begin to unravel.

And it all starts by treating your own body with proper respect and care, just as we would treat a temple of God.

So, clean yourself up, discipline your body, prepare for work.

An untied man without order is still lost.

But an untied man who understands his purpose cannot be easily controlled.

Now I’m one man and they find it difficult to handle me.

The whole world together finds it difficult to crush one man.

You know why? Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.

Suppose we let him get into us and we become a united power in God.

You don’t need a gun anymore.

That’s right.

You can do it with this.

Come on.

When they told me 30,000 people were standing on the outside and they were trying to get screens, I went in my room.

Yeah, boy.

And I said, “Oh, Allah.

” Yeah.

Hold back the rain.

Yeah.

Don’t rain on the people.

And he held it up.

Yes, sir.

You got juice, man.

Yeah.

You’re God’s people.

That’s right.

You could run this thing crazy if you just came home to God and came into unity with one another.

You would have so much power you would frighten yourself.

Now I want to show you in conclusion what we could do in this room.

You see, Reverend Jackson built all of this with the support of the people that believe in him.

I’ve been in many churches.

I’ve never been in one like this.

As big as this is, hold as many people as this does, he don’t owe nothing on it.

He had people working with him.

Now look at the 14,000 men that are here.

And if we could get the 15,000 that are outside and just check this out.

Suppose each of us put $10 together tonight.

14,000 * 10 is $140,000.

Put it in the treasure.

Come back next week.

Put it in the treasure.

Come back the third week.

Put it in the treasure.

By the fourth week, you got over half a million dollars liquid cash.

You go to a bank, say, “Look here, man.

Uh, you got any properties that you foreclosing on? Show me your portfolio.

” You say, “Well, yeah, we got this building.

this apartment building here said we’ll take it.

In this room tonight, there are carpenters, right? Brick masons, plumbers, electricians, roofers, everything imaginable right in this room.

And you got young people in here who don’t know any of these trades.

You take these abandoned buildings and you put the craftsman to work.

and you put the young man beside him as an apprentice.

Before you know it, those abandoned buildings are built back up and now somebody’s living in them, paying rent to you.

You the owner now.

Oh, then you say, “Uh-huh.

Okay, let’s keep this up.

$10.

Now we got 30,000 people.

That’s 300,000 in one week.

You notice how white folk giving up their farms.

What you do? You go and buy you thousand acres and what I need a farm for.

That’s the engine of life.

Yes, sir.

That’s where everything we got on comes from.

Yes, sir.

The farm, brother.

That’s right.

Our problem is we’re allowing everybody else to feed us.

We’re not feeding ourselves and our children.

Now with a thousand acres and you can’t even see what a thousand acres look like.

You got to get up in a helicopter to fly over what you own.

We own it collectively.

Now we start farming.

Everybody can’t farm, but there’s some good farmers in here.

But we ain’t going to farm with a mule anymore.

No, sir.

We get a tractor.

Get a tractor.

Then you set up a canning factory.

Yes, sir.

Then you buy you some land and build you instead of a beautiful church like this, you build up a supermarket.

Now you got your cannon factory and you got First Baptist Peas, second Baptist corn, Methodist asparagus.

Yes, sir.

Muslim carrots.

Yes, sir.

On your supermarket shelf.

Then you tell all our wives, don’t shop.

Nowhere else.

Shop in your own supermarket.

Before you know it, the money we spend on food is right back in our circle growing.

You got it.

Our fathers picked cotton.

Yes, sir.

Now we grow it.

Turn the cotton into lint and the lint into cloth.

And all we got to do is learn how to do it.

Do it for yourself.

And before you know it, you got a whole economic revolution started in the black community.

And as men, we’re doing this.

Come on, brothers.

Let’s fill the church up with men.

Let’s fill the mosque up with men.

And let us never let religion and the labels divide us ever again from one another.

Never again.

Although many years have already passed, we cannot deny that we still live in a world where white supremacy continues to dominate history and conceal the truth.

It may no longer rely on chains in the open field.

Yet, it survives through institutions that dictate policy, through media that shapes perception, and through textbooks that quietly teach our children who is supposed to lead and who is supposed to follow.

The violence has evolved, but the intention remains the same.

maintain dominance, protect inherited power, and disguise exploitation as order.

The myths used to justify enslavement, colonization, segregation, and economic exclusion were not mere misunderstandings of history.

They were engineered weapons.

They were crafted to portray us as inferior, incapable, and dependent so that stolen labor could be framed as necessary and stolen land could be framed as destiny.

Among them were the false claims that Africans were biologically inferior, that black people were intellectually incapable of self-governance, that slavery was a civilizing mission, that colonization brought progress to univilized lands, and that racial hierarchy reflected divine order.

These narratives portrayed us as dependent and deficient so that stolen labor could be framed as necessary and stolen land could be framed as destiny.

These lies were protected carefully by those who benefited from them.

They were preached from pulpit, codified in law, printed in school books, and passed from generation to generation within families that profited from our oppression through forced education and relentless social conditioning.

Those same distortions were pressed into our communities until some of us began to question our own worth rather than question the system that exploited us.

We have every reason to feel anger.

Our ancestors were forced to build economies they were never allowed to own.

And our neighborhoods were redlined and starved of investment.

But even still, we must never let our anger lead to sin and violence.

Farrakhan calls us to reclaim identity, ownership, and unity with discipline rather than chaos.

He reminds us that systems built without our participation rarely prioritize our advancement and expecting fairness from structures designed for exclusion is a mistake we cannot afford to keep making.

Our anger is historically justified.

Yet anger by itself does not dismantle power.

Abusive powers are most threatened when we build sustainable institutions of our own.

When we educate our youth with historical clarity, when we support entrepreneurs within our communities, and when we circulate capital intentionally instead of watching it drain outward.

And so we must commit to improving ourselves with the intention of love.

We must love ourselves enough to reject the lies, love our children enough to teach them truth, and love our neighborhoods enough to invest in their future.

When our anger is refined by discipline and guided by purpose, it becomes fuel for construction rather than chaos.

And through that disciplined love, we build a foundation strong enough to outlast the systems that tried to define us.
