When the Word is Given...

Louis E. Lomax

When the Word is Given...

When the Word is Given...

Louis E. Lomax

In 1960, Louis E. Lomax became one of the first Black journalists to gain unprecedented access to the Nation of Islam, producing this landmark account at a moment when the movement was becoming a transformative force in American race relations. The book traces the movement from its mysterious origins with founder W.D. Fard through its development under Elijah Muhammad, capturing the ideology that would reshape Black nationalist thought in America. But it is Lomax's extensive documentation of Malcolm X's speeches and philosophy that proves most electric here, presenting a voice that was just beginning to challenge the civil rights establishment. Lomax was uniquely positioned to document this moment - a Black writer covering a movement the white press had largely dismissed or distorted. The result is an indispensable historical record made during a crucial turning point in American history.

“كتب إلايجا مُحمد في جريدة بيتسبرغ كوريير كلماتٍ تفصيلية تشرح الآليات التي صنع بها العالم الأسود يعقوب الرجل الأبيض:"من هم العرق الأبيض؟ أجبتُ مرارًا وتكرارًا على هذا السؤال في هذا (العمود) على مدار السنوات الثلاث الماضية، "ما سبب بياض بشرتهم؟" الجواب: قال الله أنهم نبتوا من الأمة السوداء الأصلية، بداخل الرجل الأسود خليتان جرثوميتان؛ شخصان، واحد أسود والآخر بُني، والخلية الجرثومية الُبنية أضعف من الخلية الجرثومية السوداء، ويُمكن للخلية الجرثومية البنية أن تنمو في مرحلتها الأخيرة، وتكون في هذه المرحلة الأخيرة بيضاء، اكتشف عالمٌ أسود اسمه يعقوب هذه المعرفة منذ 6645 عامًا، ونجح في إنماء الخلية الجرثومية البنية بعد ستمائة عام من اتباع قانون صارم وقاسٍ لتحديد النسل." ووفقًا لإلايجا مُحمد، نجحت التجربة لكنها أدت أيضًا إلى ظهور الشياطين ذوي العيون الزرقاء الذين يعيشون معنا الآن في العالم، ولديهم قُدرات تحمُل جسدية ومعنوية منخفضة، ثم يُواصل مُحمد إظهار التفوق الجسدي للرجل الأسود بالتأكيد على انتصارات لاعبي الكرة الزنوج والمُلاكمين المُحترفين، ثم يُشير إلى ما يُسميه بالأخلاق المُتدنية عند الرجل الأبيض ويستشهد بغُرف الغاز في ألمانيا وإسقاط القُنبلة الذرية في هيروشيما وجميع الانتهاكات التي ارتكبها الجنوبيون البيض- والشماليون كذلك- ضد الزنوج.””
