I immediately will apologize for my ignorance, but I seemed to have missed something along the way in Mr. Enoch Muhammad’s guest column (Sept. 30) possibly its theme or purpose. I did recognize good iambic pentameter in the column. I believe that belongs to the Hip-Hop aspect he is referring to.

I am quite familiar with the All-Mighty Creator and the creation of the heaven and the Earth, but I am obviously ignorant of the fact that he created a Hip-Hop nation or that he would condone blowing off all responsibility of work or school on a Thursday. My misunderstanding may stem from the fact that I am not Young or Gifted, and I’m not sure if I’m Atoned or not. I thought the day of rest was supposed to be a holy day, like Saturday or Sunday depending on the faith or religion one follows.

I did feel relieved when I read the question, Why can’t God’s people work together to get humanity out of mire and muck? That’s a great concept and it truly should be further investigated. But, it seems very contradictory to Mr. Muhammad’s opinion that this is an unnatural environment, full of Miseducation and No Representation, with Politricks and White Collar Slicks in White Supremacist Domination. I find this hard to follow. I can’t join the White Student Caucus seeing as there isn’t one. That would be racist.

I believe the world will be what we make of it. No one has the right to complain about the world’s atrocities if you don’t use your own deeds or efforts to make an impact toward change. The voice of one may seem weak, but with cooperation many voices become strong. A good tribute would be to come together and create ways to prevent and repair harm done in the inner city and all the world rather than pick a good day to play hooky.
