Farrakhan opposes Messenger Elijah Muhammad Teachings on Intermarriage with White People

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad Reprinted from June 28, 1968 edition of Muhammad Speaks
Do not love to marry foreign people other than your people of America (your own Black brothers and sisters who have been lost and now found by God, Himself). If you do, I will no longer respect you as my follower.
Remember what intermarriage did for the people of Moses in Median and elsewhere wherever they mixed with foreign people? They took them away from their God and they were forbidden by Allah to intermarry with people whose faith was not their own and later, a death penalty was effected on the for such things, because the love of such foreign disbelievers takes away your faith and your religion that God, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, has given to you for your success.
As intermarrying with foreigners did to the people in the time of Moses, it will do the same here in this day and time, if you marry foreign disbelievers and traditionalists. They were not believers in Islam and brothers and sisters who are going "drunk" in love with just anyone whom they think is of their kind, will not stay in the circle here with me.
I will not permit it. God has not sent me to mix any such thing as intermarrying or associating in such a way as "sweethearting: with foreign people.

Messenger Elijah Muhammad, "The Shame of Races Intermixing", Available on Audio Cassette Tape
"I am for total separation, as God, Himself, is....Race mixing is shameful. Whether it be the American so-called Negro with his slave master's children or it be any other race. Even to the yellow race mixing with Black or the yellow race mixing with the white race or the brown and white mixing together or the brown and black mixing together or the red and Black mixing together. All of this is absolutely against the very law of nature, in which Almighty God has created them. He created them like this. He beautified the human family of the planet earth by making them in various colors and settling them in various spheres of our planet to themselves. And it is ignorant for you and me, my dear beloved people, to want to be integrated, intermarrying, into alien people. "

Words of Sinister Louis Farrakhan, April 13, 1997 on NBC television's "Meet the Press."

"The mother of the Leader who came to North America to teach us, Fard Muhammad, His mother was a white woman. His father was a black man. So where there is love, love transcends our racial denomination or ethnicity. Love is the great power of transformation. I don't think that we can say when two people are in love that they shouldn't marry one another. But I would prefer that the black man and the black woman marry into their own kind."

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad, October 15, 1972 Available on Audio Cassette
Some of you are going wild, telling everything you think. We don't want what you think, we want what God has taught us. We want His thinking and not yours.
This is what gives the people a wrong understanding of us. Here stands a liar on this corner and there stands a truth bearer on that corner. The people don't know which one to believe. The liar just says whatever comes up. All you know is how to tell something different from what you've learned. I don't want that kind of man or woman following me.
Don't add to what you hear me saying, nor take from what you hear me saying. It is the truth that I have received. When you go adding and taking from it, you make it other than the truth.
I want to tell new people to stop listening to any such talk or teaching that is not the same words that I am teaching. I would rather for all of them to come hear what I am saying directly, and if they find me telling other than the truth, then the whole teaching is other than the truth.
