Surprising Jamaican Roots

[Tropicana]

Re: Surprising Jamaican Roots

Phew! Close Call....you nearly frightened me. I guess not:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Elijah Muhammad was born Elijah Robert Poole in Sandersville, Georgia, the sixth of thirteen children to William Poole, Sr. (1868–1942), a Baptist lay preacher and sharecropper, and Mariah Hall (1873–1958), a homemaker and sharecropper.
Poole's education ended at the fourth grade. To support the family, he worked with his parents as a sharecropper. When he was sixteen years old, he left home and began working in factories and at other businesses.</div></div>

After this, why would I be interested in anything he had to say:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Another source of tension was Malcolm X's discovery that a Chicago Tribune article claiming that Elijah Muhammad had fathered eight children by six teenaged girls was true. In a meeting with Malcolm X, Muhammad justified his several children and young &quot;wives&quot; as his need to plant his seed in fertile soil.</div></div>

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> After Elijah Muhammad's death, <span style="font-weight: bold">nineteen of his children</span> filed lawsuits against the Nation of Islam seeking status as heirs.</div></div>

You know I don't support the random baggy dropping.

Re: Surprising Jamaican Roots

Personally I think that Abraham Lincoln grandfather was of Jamaican origin.. A slave called Imulach I think was reputed to be Nancy Hanks father... only a Jamaican would have dared to do that!

Re: Surprising Jamaican Roots

Well there is a lot more to him than what I had realized. I admit I did enjoy the small portion his speech in Jamaica I listened to. He is wrong about the Curse of Ham though. It was Ham's child Canaan that was cursed, hence the Jews took over the Land of Canaan.

Still don't understand why he bashes Jews when he is part Jewish.


Let me clarify, I have never heard him bash Jews but I have heard he bashes Jews.

To be honest, I just have never been interested.

Here is how he has been quoted. I have no way of knowing if this is accurate:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">White Christians, [you saw the plight of blacks] but what did you do? You walked right by on the other side. Then along came the Jewish people. You did a little better. You came and looked at us: 'damn they're in bad shape! Let's see how we can take advantage of the shape that they're in.'”
&quot;Guidance in a Time of Trouble&quot; speech in San Diego, 5/27/12

“Do you know Jewish people were not the origin of Hollywood, but they took it over? ”
Saviours' Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2/26/12

“In 100 years, they control movies, television, recording, publishing, commerce, radio, they own it all. Magazines. Why do you want all, everything?”
Saviours' Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2/26/12

“Did you know that the Koran says that Jews are the most violent of people. I didn’t write it, but I’m living to see it.”
Saviours' Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2/26/12

“I think we have made a grave mistake; we have been deceived into thinking that the Jews have been our allies in our recent civil rights struggle... Yes, he poses as your friend. He’s with you as an agent, he’s with you as a manager, he’s with you as an investor, he’s with you as a guide in economic development, but he has never asked you to do what he has done. He networks with other rich, influential Jews and he buys, he invests, he’s in trade and commerce.”
Interview with Washington, DC, radio station WPFW-FM, 4/1/10

“Some of you think that I’m just somebody who’s got something out for the Jewish people. You’re stupid. Do you think I would waste my time if I did not think it was important for you to know Satan? My job is to pull the cover off of Satan so that he will never deceive you and the people of the world again.”
Saviours' Day, Rosemont, Illinois, 2/27/11</div></div>

Now that I hear he is part Jewish, it makes no sense to me that he would say things like this.
