80th Anniversary Celebration of The Nation of Islam
Look In The Mirror and You Will See Yourself!
Since the 1960′s there have been four generations of Black people in the UK: 60′s, 70′s/80′s and the 90′s generations.
Between these generations the physical differences are clear, but what about the spiritual, cultural and social differences? I am of the view that the current generation, whom we seem to want to write off; hoodies, so-called-gang members, etc, are the best generation that we have produced in the UK and it is our inability to see them as the best generation, that will cause us to demand Police intervention, when in reality they are the way they are for a Divine purpose.
My generation was the first to enter into the school education system and our parents had no idea of what we were going through, except that our teachers were always right, the consequence of which was a severe reprimand in myriad forms.
Our rebellion and hatred of the system manifested in the Riots that took place in London, Toxteth, Bristol and in other places up and down the UK and in so many other forms; clothes, raving (blues dance – sneaking out), relationships before we had any sense, etc, etc.
What was this a sign of? Rebellion. We then produced a generation who are even more rebellious than we are, not to mention the generation that has now sprung from the 80′s children. So what is this all a sign of and does it justify the appellation, Black Youth: A Generation of Fulfillment? In Mathematics 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, therefore the maths should not be that difficult for us to understand the present generation we seem to have condemned when in reality they are our very own reflection.
A few years ago on completion of the Millennium Bridge it began wobbling, proving to us that this civilization was now on its way out. For when Maths, which underpins the foundation of any civilization begins to fail, the end of that civilization is at hand.
Correlating the failing bridge with their maths that has failed, and our children who are now so rebellious that they do not submit to the education, church and social systems, that have enslaved the minds of our parents and our generation and which has lulled us to sleep, thinking that ‘I’m alright Jack’, we can see a clear mathematical equation as aforementioned.
All our Youth need is the RIGHT TEACHER with the RIGHT WORD to steer them into the path that they are destined for. Our children have been born not to comply and conform with this world. All they know at present is just how to destroy everything in their path, including themselves.
Is God’s hand over this? Perhaps ‘as the Spirit of God (His energy/essence in man & woman) moves across the waters’ (people) has He taken charge of our Youth so that they are not be spoiled and ruined by the UK education system or by their PARENTS.
Remember it was the youth who took on the Giants in the Promised Land, because the Elders (us) were too afraid to stand up like Men and Women and challenge the status quo. Are we willing to remain in the ‘Wilderness’ (ignominy, poverty, death) of not standing up and doing something for ourselves in this god-forsaken country called the UK?
Interesting Lecture, Black Youth; A Generation of Fulfillment 1 & 2.
