Open Letter To The President
Dear , Mr . President
I am calling on you today to ask for your help in settling a life long dispute that seems to have no end. I am asking that you grant me a DiVORCE from the African American Race on the grounds of Irreconcilable Differences. We have Cultural Differences as well as Moral Differences that can not be settled in this lifetime. I am asking that my Nationality on all my legal documents be changed from the Identification of " African " to simply " Human ". I do not want to be in any way associated legally with " African Americans " because of their dangerous and limiting immoral social stigmas. These stigmas can not be broken by any other means for me personally except by total separation and disassociation. Although this may seem to be an unusual way to settle a racial dispute , I feel that it is the only way to find the quality of life I am currently denied in this union. To be bound by this title is like being a " Slave " to a people who have no good intentions for my life because of our differences.
I do not want to be chained to a people that have the reputation that the masses of African Americans have in society as well as in history. Being Associated with this race on sight - I am accussed , tried and found guilty of all sorts of domestic crimes , even by African Americans themselves. My worth as a Human Being is devalued in the eyes of others as well as in my own mind just knowing that I am known as one of them. As a Human Being when one is in bondage un-lawfully he is a " Slave " and I believe that everyone that is enslaved whether physically or mentally has the right at some point to be Emancipated. And this Symbolic Divorce for me will do just that , it will totally free me from my miserable existance in this marriage and if nothing else give me a peace of mind - and to me that is FREEDOM.
Thank you for your Consideration,
King Nazir Muhammad
