Chapter 4
The Black man, for the first
time since he has been in the
Western Hemisphere, is accepting
himself as a Black man and not
as a colored man. Although the
Black man has been colored, now
the Black man has learned that
the coloring was false and that
the coloring came from a robber
(the devil). After he (the devil
himself) had put our Black
fathers asleep to the knowledge
of their Black selves, the white
man pretty nearly destroyed all
of the original color of us; and
he has added in his own color.
Never have we, the Black man,
been so happy to be called
Black. And the Book (Bible)
teaches us that God will come
one day and God will choose us,
the Black people, to be His
people.
We did not know anything
about the false color part that
God had in mind to remove from
us; but now God is here among
us; and He is teaching us the
knowledge of our color; and we
love our own Black color. And
now we have learned that the
color of our enemy has almost
destroyed our original Black; we
are now waking up to the
knowledge that Black is the
first color and the last color,
(if there be a last). And now
that we have learned that Black
is a better color, we want to be
Black. You just do not have a
better color than Black. Black
looks good all of the time. The
beautiful part of Black is that
we love Black. Since we now have
the knowledge of the two colors
(Black and the false color), we
are separating the original
Black color from the false color
so that we can preserve our own
Black color forever.
The knowledge of Black self,
given to us by Him who knows us;
we all should be happy and
rejoicing to know that we, the
Black people were never a wicked
people until we followed the
wicked one (the white man) after
his wickedness. God has declared
us, the Black man, to be the
righteous and God makes it plain
to see why we are the righteous.
We are from the righteous Black
people by nature. We, the Black
man, are righteous by creation,
and we cannot be other than
righteous. This is the happiest
time of our, the Black man's
life! It is the happiest time of
our life to learn who we are and
to learn that who we are, the
Black man, is the best of the
people!
