Elijah Muhammad is trying to teach us
that just as the white man...
1:57:09
..and any other man on earth
has the God given right...
1:57:15
..the human, the civil and the
natural right to protect himself...
1:57:20
..we have the right
to protect ourselves too.
1:57:26
This is what the honorable Elijah
Muhammad is trying to teach us.
1:57:31
He's teaching us to love ourselves,
not hate the white man.
1:57:38
Mister X, before we begin
ourdiscussion tonight...
1:57:42
..'The black Muslims,
hate mongers'...
1:57:46
..would you mind explaining the
meaning of your name, the letter X?
1:57:50
During slavery the slave master
gave the negro, they named...
1:57:56
..the so-called negro
afterthemselves.
1:58:00
Elijah Muhammad teaches us that once
we come into the knowledge...
1:58:06
..of lslam, of ourselves, we replace
our slave name with an X.
1:58:10
X in mathematics
represents the unknown.
1:58:13
Since we've been cutoff
from ourown history, our own past...
1:58:18
..we use the X, until we get back
to our country. - I see. Thank you.
1:58:24
- Doctor Payson?
- Mister X is a demagogue...
1:58:28
..so he exaggerates. He's a
disservice to every law-abiding...
1:58:35
..church-going American negro
in the country.
1:58:40
Why do you teach black supremacy?
1:58:44
- Why do you teach hate?
- Forthe white man...
1:58:48
..to ask the black man
why he hates him...
1:58:52
..is like the rapistasking
the raped: 'Do you hate me?'
1:58:57
The white man is in no position
to accuse the black man of anything.
