If we're a natural man, we're attracted to a woman. You are our natural partner in the act of procreation. Now there's a time and a place for everything, but when a fine-looking woman, with a fine-looking form walks down the street, a man could be working with a jackhammer, and when he spies that woman, he'll watch her as she walks.

If you take a little time and watch forensics, and see what men, sick-minded men do ... I don't know whether it's wise for women to feed the sickness that's in the man.
I think that ego-driven leaders will be a thing of the past because the masses are tired.
Anarchy may await America, due to the daily injustices suffered by the people.
Everything that I'm attempting to do is based on my understanding of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and what he wanted for his people.
