However thats where it stops with Farrakhan, he's a great preacher but lacks the Economic initiative Elijah Muhammad and thats the big difference between the old nation and the new nation. Elijah's nation was building businesses all across big cities, you don't see the same type of economic empowerment from Farrakhans leadership.
With all due respect Sir, FIRST off, there is NO Farrakhans' Nation and Elijahs' Nation. It is one in the same.
Why was the Nation so successful pre 1975?
Because the people went out there and put in the work that needed to be done. Every FOI, MGT, VANGUARD has a mission they must take upon themselves upon receiving thier "X". That "mission" should be the mission for all original people on the planet. BUT, most people are of the 85%.
Now, during those times it was in the 50's, 60's, and very early 70's. Look at the climate in America at those times. Civil Rights movement, a War, etc.....
Sure you say, well thats happening now, Yes, to a certain extent, but not on the level it was back then. When all people were somewhat conscience about what was going on. Why are not the businesses going on like they were? Lack of Support. Lack of unity. The same program that was when ELijah Muhammad was among us, is the same one that is now. Just recently Min. Farrakhan has taken the Nation out of all and any debts. Right now, he is repairing and purchasing the main mosques from the West to the East coasts.
If you listen to Elijah though, he said that these times would come. The Nation fell once, NEVER to fall again. Min. Farrakhan did 1985's Saviour Day on exactly what you are speaking on.
If you look into the latest Final Call or check on NOI.ORG you will see there are businesses, farms, Schools, etc...
