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.

1:59:01
- This is a black man asking. - What
do you call a negro with a degree?

1:59:07
You call him a 'nigger'.
1:59:10
You have to understand
this type of thinking.

1:59:14
There were two types of slaves,
the house negro and the field negro.

1:59:20
The house negro lived in the house,
in the basement or in the attic.

1:59:26
He dressed pretty good, he ate
pretty good. He loved his master.

1:59:30
He loved his master better
than the master loved himself.

1:59:35
If the master's house caught on fire,
the negro would put the blaze out.

1:59:42
If the master got sick, he'd say:
'We's sick?'

1:59:46
We's sick! This was the thinking
of the house negro.

1:59:50
If anotherslave said: 'Let's run
away, let's separate'...

1:59:53
..he said: 'Why? What's better
than what we've got here?'

1:59:56
This was the house nigger.
1:59:59
And today we've still got a lot
of house niggers running around.
