AFRE (All For Reparations and Emanicipation) In 1930 a man gave the spark of life to an idea that today is fully formed and proven true at the United Nations. This man had come from the East, in the person of Master W.D. Fard Muhammad, to inform the so-called American Negroes that they were lost from their human family and that they were now found. His identification of a lost and found people took root in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. For 44 years Elijah Muhammad carried the idea forward and gave it birth by teaching the so-called Negro that his black skin was beautiful, he was a member of a great family, and he should soon free himself from the lingering effects of slavery. He should begin to "do for self." Elijah Muhammad asked the United States Government for reparation in the form of land, equipment and support for 25 years so that Black people could go forth and do for self. Today Silis Muhammad can be found at the United Nations carrying the original idea to its fulfillment. In the United Nations, the human rights experts do not argue with the idea of a lost and found people. In fact there is agreement that the Afro-descendant (so-called African-American) is indeed lost from his human family - lost in reality from his 'mother tongue', culture and religion, and lost in that he has no collective political identity, therefore no human rights. The opponents of Afro-descendant emancipation have revealed their argument at the United Nations. Their claim is that when Afro-descendants participated in the civil rights movement, they expressed their will to become Americans, and nothing more, i.e. they voluntarily gave up their right to a collective political identity and to recognition of themselves as a People. Our position is as follows: Afro-descendants (so-called African-Americans) in the United States have always felt themselves to be a family with a collective identity. They have always known that their unconquerable spirit deserves to have a life of its own: to grow in freedom. They have always wanted to "do for self" outside the constraints of the Anglo-American identity. The U.S. Government has sought to deceive the United Nations and the world at large into believing that Afro-descendants can experience freedom while being confined within an Anglo-American identity. In the past Afro-descendants have demonstrated in ways great and small that they desire emancipation from the Anglo-American identity. Today the signs of a human family returning to life are everywhere - in the term "Brother" and "Sister", and even on a T-shirt that states "You Wouldn't Understand - It's a Black Thing." The truth is simple and yet profound. We advocate full and complete reparations. As we observe the reparations movement now becoming a mainstream media issue in the United States, we gird our loins for a great onslaught against the emancipation of Black people. In preparation we go on record herein stating that AFRE will not look favorably upon any reparations plan or any reparations offer from the United States Government that fails to include restoration of the human rights of Afro-descendants (so-called African-Americans). Our position is for REPARATIONS and EMANCIPATION.
