@MonteStudios He have seen him several times and I have never heard hate from him. I have heard the naked truth - and that makes almost all white people nervous and angry,

IS A BLACK ELECTED OFFICIAL, MAYOR, GOVERNOR , OR PRESIDENT SHOULD BE ALLOW TO IGNORE BLACKS IN ORDER NOT TO BE VIEWED AS A BLACK POLITICIAN? no matter what color of skin, an elected official should serve all groups of people, even his own race.

It is said in this video that the condition of black folks have not changed despite there being black mayors, gov, DON'T BE NAIVE! It's not supposed to! No politician, President or otherwise can do for our black family what should be done first in the home. The emphasis should be on the Parents of these children whom bring the weapons, drugs into the homes, plot the destruction of other blacks right under the nose of the parents. When was the last time you checked your kids?

If you want to find a piece where Farakhan spewed hatred listen to a few old recorded speeches by him about Malcolm X.

Black people coming together to have a civil conversation Is viewed negatively. Wow!!!

[tfewell73]

@Cruisemissile1 If people don't want to include you, you have to get your own.

[tfewell73]

No one is blaming you but your counter parts have benefited and i guess your gonna tell me you haven't. Now we come to a time were things are crazier than they've ever been. As long as you got racist white people who want us dead or locked up, you will always keep dealing with people like Farrakan.

[madelefant05]

@tfewell73 I'm a human. Not a "so called white man." I wish I had all the freedom and power that so many bestow on every member of the race of "so called white men." At least if I'm blamed for all this I'd like to have tasted the plunder attributed to the "so called white man." It's as if so called white men know no sorrow or pain. In other words, those professing those views dehumanize the "so called white man." where have we heard that before?

[tfewell73]

@madelefant05 Stereotyped how? I'm a blackman, plain and simple and growing up in a country where i'm told because of the color of my skin i'm nothing, I don't see what's wrong with another blackman standing up and telling me different. So Malcolm found out Elijah Muhammad was screwing other women. America still has to do right by the sons and daugters of slaves or fall. However we know that's not going to happen, so we have to do for self and i see nothing wrong with that.

[tfewell73]

@madelefant05 It's good to know that you're an admirer of Malcolm as I am. However a dead generial can't lead a live army and as far as fear based goes I can assure you the Nation fears nothing but God. If anything they're putting backbone into the black people that are scared.

[madelefant05]

@tfewell73 And on the term "white people." An African from the Ivory Coast is no more the same group of people as from Egypt than an Eskimo is Italian. The phrase "so called white man" comes to mind. If you don't want to be stereotyped don't do it to others.

[madelefant05]

@tfewell73 That's non-sense. I'm a huge admirer of Malcolm X. Malcolm X compared the tactics of the Nation of Islam to those of the KKK. Farakhan is a leach on his own people and his only power base is continuing to spew the same fear based non-sense. Malcolm X was killed for Commiserating with the enemy and being honest about how corrupt the Nation of Islam was. In other words, Malcolm X stopped hating whitey and evolved past the confines of NOI. They had to kill him.
