Why are white folks excluded from joining the NOI?
We’re in a world where white supremacy is not just a word, it’s an institution. One of the goals of NOI is to teach Blacks to look towards themselves for leadership and to honor and respect their own Black leadership. Due to Black Inferiority thoughts that unfortunately exists among many Blacks,… when in the presence of white folks, Blacks have a tendency to overlook their own Black brother/sister and look towards the whites for answers and/or guidance. The exclusion of whites creates the environment, confidence, and trust that is needed in order for Blacks to love and do for self. This is also why Blacks were more united and productive during the years of segregation.
