[foreheadboy]

@afterray

You dumb piece of shit what did i tell you ....!. What...did i tell you !

I said " if we want we can burn this country totally into a fireplace but at the end you will see a lot of dead bodies and no results.Why?.........because we're in the minorty that's why...plain and simple.So the agenda is not fight and die...it's unite and build a future.Fool "

This is what is said asshole !

By the way ..Egypt is not there yet...your timing and context is out of balance.

Now F*** OFF !

@foreheadboy as u noted : "if we want we can burn this country totally into a fireplace" KEEP dreaming.

@foreheadboy remember why blacks (in this nation) get the govt to CHANGE many of its injustices (don't be an idiot and think that i'm not aware of the remaining injustices).

REALITY: million man march did nothing. if the NOI wants REAL change, the gullible members MUST be willing to die. but then again, why would farrakhan want to put his mansion / businesses / bank account into jeopardy?

[foreheadboy]

Furthermore you really need to stop bashing Louis Farrakhan or the N.O.I. because what you want to see is bloodshed from blacks that are willing to die like those in egypt.We're 10% of the american population and if we want we can burn this country totally into a fireplace but at the end you will see a lot of dead bodies and no results.Why?.........because we're in the minorty that's why...plain and simple.So the agenda is not fight and die...it's unite and build a future.Fool

@afterray

the million man march was not organised to set people up to be violent you fool.The million man march was organised to address the " blackman ".And to address the blackman and to live on in peace and to drop down the guns,the alcohol and to love your brothers and sisters was and still is one of the points of the agenda of the million man march.

Don't come here on youtube and just randomly pick out the million man march to show the world that it should have been done like Egypt.

@foreheadboy i know for sure that the "million man march in washington" was not a joke. BUT the actual purpose behind it was a JOKE by definition.

the people of cairo KNOW the meaning of change. they know the reality of UNITY. they are ALL willing to DIE (u read right. WILLING (not pretending) to die). their corrupt govt must comply to their demands (for there are REAL).

the NOI / farrakhan is real in pumping up an isolated audience. but at the end of the day, the question is: NOW WHAT?

[foreheadboy]

@afterray

Dude,

What are you trying to say,that the million man march in washington was a joke?Before the million man march we already faught,bled and died for our rights to maintain.We are under oppression for over 400 years and we are still fighting!We ( blacks ) have lost everything from head to toe buddy.This is defenitly not a zoo becareful of what you say.How long did it take for the egyptian brothers to fight for justice!It's because one man burnt himself cause he couldn't get a job !
