Uncle Hotep and the Hotep Nation vs the Woke Agenda

The Muslim Ummah has responsibility to stand up for justice. But that doesn’t mean blindly following every movement that claims to fight for justice. For example, American Muslim community backed Black Lives Matter uncritically, with no care whatsoever for the hidden agenda of the people behind the movement and the people funding it.

When I speak to Muslims online, most haven’t even visited the Black Lives Matter website. They haven’t seen “Herstory” in place of history. They haven’t seen their stated objectives to promote and normalize LGBTQ in the black community. They haven’t seen their stated objective of dismantling the nuclear family. They haven’t seen that the black father is not mentioned on their website even once.

But there are many black voices that oppose BLM categorically. They ask why BLM is silent about black-on-black crime. They ask why BLM is silent on developing black businesses and black entrepreneurship. They don’t want black neighborhoods burnt down by rioters. They don’t want roads and highways blocked by protesters when they are trying to drive to work so they can earn a living to put food on the table.

Muslims have a duty to think critically about issues like this and do what’s best for humanity as a whole, as opposed to just serving our own self-interests.

Time-stamped Show Notes

• 03:35 – What is Hotep? A continuation of the “conscious” community within Black America.
