If you were a fly on wall the during a private, round table meeting with the Honorable Brother Minister Louis Farrakhan - or if you were a governmental camera hidden in a ceiling light - you would see us Brothers stand up when the Minister enters the room, bow our heads before him, and wait until he sits down and calls us to sit down as well. Why do we do this? Why confer such reverential respect on this man Farrakhan? Divine society was divided into great and lesser gods; occasionally one comes across intermediate gods as well. The great gods were set apart from the rank and file by the prerogatives they enjoyed; basically quite vague, these prerogatives came most clearly to the fore in the courtly etiquette in use among the entourage of the king of the gods, whoever he happened to be. The existence of such rules of protocol is sometimes explicitly mentioned. In the presence of a superior, the great gods remained standing as a token of respect, and the lesser ones had to prostrate themselves. Dimitri Meeks and Christine Favard-Meeks, Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods (1996): 34. Why do we stand before and bow our heads in humility in the Presence of the Honorable Brother Minister Farrakhan? Because that is the Black God Etiquette, the Protocol of the Divine Society with its Divine Hierarchy.
