Louis Farrakhan writes to his people:
Did you know this? Black people spend:
$3.3 billion per year on tobacco.
$3 billion per year on whiskey, wine and beer.
$2.8 billion per year on the non-alcoholic beverages.
$3.1 billion per year on leisure time.
$3.5 billion per year on toys, games, and pets.
$19 billion per year on telephone services.
$10 billion per year on buying gifts for one another.
$13 billion per year on gambling.
$29.3 billion per year on clothing.
And after all these things that we spend in the billions, do you know how much we spend on books? We spend $321 million.
We must follow the moral and financial guidance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to unlearn the behaviors that keep us poor, and the merchants of other communities rich.
"Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste."

Books are nice, especially used ones you can get for pennies, but internet is 1000x better and 1000x cheaper.
