Min. Farrakhan is the Greatest! Dr. Dyson and Dr. West are top notch as well.
Did you notice how Tavis kinda rushed some of the other speakers but he never rushed Farrakhan?
Farrakhan broke it down. Nuff said.
farrakhan is brilliant
As we did with MLK.. AND MALCOLM X.. Minister Farakhan should have acknowledged that.
what is up with jessi jackson? he seem to be very distant, is he working for some secret service.
What about Malcolm and his wife and children??
Gosh dude people change, people grow and they correct themselves; everyone makes mistakes. Have you done something that you may have changed over the years. Are you now finding reasons not to even listen to this guy, at least he acknowledges his mistakes...I am not saying do not critique him or observe him, which you very well may do, but to keep making comments like "Why didn't he say that about Malcolm mmm such a shame" I say this not just for him, I say this for all who make mistakes...
@AlHaqDeen He's a changed guy now
I personally fine Farrahkan to be parochial at best--but in this context he is on POINT!! i Love Dorthy
@HorChild I didn't know that.
Isn't it a shame that Farrakhan didn't feel the same empathy for Malcolm's wife and children? I'm sure some of the people at that table were thinking the same thing.
@Diosibundo Hispanics are in Hispaniola the islands that Columbus invaded. they are Puerto Rico, Haiti, DR, and Cuba. Latinos are the peoples other Spanish speaking countries in north and south america. hope i helped.
@GeminiTeeVee That is not entirely accurate. Hispanic (Spanish: hispano, hispánico) is a term that originally denoted a relationship to the ancient Hispania, a country that geographically coincided with the Iberian Peninsula. During the Modern Era, Hispanic sometimes takes on a more limited meaning, relating to the contemporary nation of Spain, one of the successor states of Hispania.
Lol Malcolm taught MLF lol ik HE'S MY GEANDPA.
Farrakhan didnt say "leave that brother alone" when the sh*t hit the fan with malcom x and the nation....and malcom had a clear agenda which was the blacks having equality in this nation
@jcphantom Not sure if you know much about the history between Farrakhan and Malcolm X, but AlHaqDeen had it right. When Malcolm left the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan, who was one of the top ministers in the NOI at the time and a protege of Malcolm, stated several times that he believed Malcolm deserved to die for his perceived betrayal of Elijah Muhammad. He reiterated that after Malcolm's assassination. It wasn't until years later that Farrakhan reached out to Malcolm's family to make amends.
Never trust someone who uses brother to talk about a non-relative. Brothers will screw you over.
