  • There's no god but Allah :-)

  • @mrCandy0000 There's no god.

  • I'm feeling his view on the N word

  • (Read my comments from the bottom up). Peace.

  • ...We lose family ties, values, and customs. We lose sight of the Ma'afa.

  • I understand we've got a long way to go-black people have attempted to take this word back and claim it/ love it. Unfortunately by doing so we allow it to still exist. We permit others' to toss it like a frisbee. In the end, we all lose. While we try and justify its use in our community we lose respect, we lose dignity, we lose lives. We forget that that nigga is our brother and we kill him. We forget that nigga is our sister and we smack her.

  • The way we use this word friends, we are not doing our ancestors struggles and experience justice. We are not reclaiming power we are taking it away - from one another and from our predecessors’ experience. Divided, and calling each other niggas, we will continue to fall.

  • “I love the word nigga…abolishing the word would erase our history” I am so surprised at his ignorance that I may never listen to his music again. I believe it is indeed time we lay this word to rest and give it its proper retirement or burial. We ought to only dig it up with strict discipline, intention, and purpose.

  • He had traveled to Mecca and learned that people of all cultures could exist in harmony together, worship and pray together, and positively impact the world together – changed his whole worldview. Again, this is why they had to go. Together we stand, divided we fall. Because both leaders were realizing this and could have potentially led people to solidarity (“WE are the 99%”) against the powers that be (1%), they were feared. And murdered.
