Malcolm tells the parable of "house Negro."
King Solomon Baptist Church, Detroit. 10 November 1963.
Transcribed text from audio excerpt.
To understand this, you have to go back to what the young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro back during slavery. There were two kinds of slaves, the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes--they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his food--what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near their master; and they loved their master more than their master loved himself. They would give their life to save their master's house--quicker than the master would. If the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro.
If the master's house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master go sick, the house Negro would say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" We sick! He identified himself with his master, more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, "Let's run away, let's escape, let's separate." The house Negro would look at you and say, "Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?" That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a "house nigger." And that's what we call them today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here.
This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He'll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about "I'm the only Negro out here." "I'm the only one on my job." "I'm the only one in this school." You're nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, "Let's separate," you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation. "What you mean, separate? From America, this good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here?" I mean, this is what you say. "I ain't left nothing in Africa," that's what you say. Why, you left your mind in Africa.

Scores of Palestinians Killed, Injured in Gaza amid Heavy Rains and Displacement
A local source reported that the Israeli army expanded its operations, demolishing residential buildings in the southern part of the Al-Sabra neighborhood.
At least nine Palestinians were killed and others were injured on Tuesday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting homes and a civilian vehicle in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, while heavy rains inundated the tents of displaced people in several areas of the enclave.
The Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza reported that its teams recovered five bodies and over ten injured people after an airstrike hit the home of the Abu Harb family in the Qizan al-Najjar area of Khan Yunis.
The statement added that crews also recovered two bodies and rescued five injured individuals following an airstrike on the Abu Jarbou family’s home in the Tahlia area of Khan Yunis.
A medical source confirmed that two people were killed and three others were injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted a civilian vehicle near the Al-Matahin intersection, east of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.
Gazans seek refuge in 'the sky' as rains swamp, ruin their tents
Displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip seeking shelter in makeshift tents due to the ongoing Israeli carpet bombing and attacks now face the challenges of harsh winter conditions as sudden downpours exacerbate their bind.
According to Anadolu, even brief rains were enough to flood and ruin tents, as well as submerge their surroundings, leaving approximately two million displaced Palestinians with "no refuge but the sky".
Muhammad Abdullah Kobi, who fled to the Nusairat Refugee Camp in central Gaza with his family, described the state of their torn tents, noting that the ground on which they were set up was unsuitable for living.
As rains pour over Gaza, tents are left flooded due to the absence of waterproof tarps and supplies, rendering survival in the winter even harder amid the Israeli bombardment.

‘Go to Jordan’ – Jewish Settlers Intensify Campaign to Force Palestinians Out of West Bank
“You do not exist in the land of our ancient ancestors… Go to Jordan before our holy army wakes up.”
The Israeli Promised Land settler association has intensified its campaign to displace Palestinians in the occupied West Bank to neighbouring Jordan, distributing thousands of posters and flyers demanding that the residents should leave, the Middle East Monitor (MEMO) reported.
“The road is safe for you now to leave,” one of the posters states, along with a map showing the “right route” to make the journey from Nablus and Ramallah, for example, to Salt or Ajloun in the Hashemite Kingdom, the report said.
Another poster map included a gathering place for residents of Jenin, stating that they should, “Leave safely to the city of Irbid in northern Jordan” through a “specific route” that is “guaranteed and safe”, to “protect their families before the promised day.”
This “promised day” implies that something bad will happen to those who ignore the “safe” routes, the report added.

Ansar Allah Political Bureau: The Israeli enemy persists in violating Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability with American support and green light
The Political Bureau of Ansar Allah condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing bloody massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against civilians in Lebanon.
The office stressed in a statement that “the war crime, genocide and dangerous escalation of the enemy army cannot break the will of the Lebanese people to resist,” explaining that the Israeli aggression will not deter Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance from continuing to support the Palestinian people and triumph for their rights.
He pointed out that the Israeli enemy is persisting in violating Lebanon's sovereignty and stability with American support and green light, noting that Zionist arrogance expresses a real failure in human military confrontations, and that this Zionist arrogance confirms the extent of the success of Hezbollah's recent strikes in reaching the depths of the entity in sensitive locations in Haifa and beyond Haifa.
The Political Bureau of Ansar Allah offered its condolences to the families of the martyrs for this painful loss due to the Zionist violations that are deeply criminal and allow bloodshed. We renew our solidarity with Lebanon, its government, people and resistance.
In this context, the Political Bureau stressed the readiness of the Yemeni people and its armed forces to continue supporting Palestine based on the unity of the arenas and within the framework of religious and humanitarian responsibility, pointing out that the blood is one, the wound is one, the enemy is one, and the destiny is one, explaining that there is no escape.
From resistance as an inevitable option to continue the battle of dignity, no matter the dangers and sacrifices, and let God decide what is to be done.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq Hits Israeli Target in Occupied Golan Heights with Drone
Fighters from Iraqi anti-terror resistance groups have carried out an operation against a strategic position in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s relentless strikes on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, announced in a statement published on its Telegram channel early on Tuesday that it had launched the attack with an al-Arfad kamikaze drone.
It said the drone strike was carried out in continuation of resistance against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza, and in retaliation for the massacres that the usurping Zionist entity is perpetrating against unarmed Palestinian civilians.
The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.
On Sunday, the umbrella group of resistance factions said it targeted several Israeli military targets in the Jordan Valley, using Arfad drones.
The resistance group said most of the drones hit their targets as Israeli defense systems failed to intercept many of them.

Argentina Court Orders Arrest of Venezuela's President
Islam Times - A federal court in Argentina on Monday ordered the “immediate” arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello.
Federal court members Pablo Bertuzzi, Leopoldo Bruglia and Mariano Llorens ordered that “the arrest warrants for Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello be executed immediately, and that their international arrest should be ordered via Interpol for the purposes of extradition to the Argentine Republic,” according to the resolution, according to US News.
The order comes hours after Venezuela’s Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant for Argentina's President Javier Milei amid a controversy between the two countries over the detention in Argentine territory — and delivery to the United States — of a cargo plane that Washington says was sold by a sanctioned airline to a Venezuelan state-owned company.
The tit-for-tat heightens the tensions between Venezuela and Argentina that have been brewing since far-right Milei assumed power in December and that has led to a breakdown in diplomatic relations.
Argentina was once an informal British colony. Today, Argentina's far-right libertarian President Javier Milei is sending his country's gold to London (which now holds 60% of Argentina's gold reserves) as collateral for loans to pay debt to the IMF and rich Western bond-holders.
