Dry Bones, Negroes
Many of you have gone to church Sunday after Sunday and got happy, when the old preacher started singing about dry bones, you’d knock over benches, just because he was preaching about those bones, them dry bones. But you never could identify the symbolic meaning of those bones – how they were dead because they were cut off from there own people (Ezekiel 37:1-14). The Nubian people here in America are in the same condition as those dry bones that you sit in church singing about. But you shed more tears over those dry bones than you shed over yourself.
This is a strange thing but it shows what happens to a people when they are cut off and stripped of everything. You become a people like no other. There are no others on Earth like you. You are unique, you are different and people of all other nationalities treat you differently; look at your hair. You have 9-ether kingly hair. They treat you like you are a dog.
They say that you’re Negroes. You see the contradiction? Mind you, they say you’re Negroes, because Negro means black in Spanish, yet they don’t call all black people Negroes. Something there doesn’t add up. Then to get around it they say mankind is divided up into three categories: Mongoloid, Caucasoid, and Negroid. There are no such names. You can’t find those names anywhere in the scriptures.
