Farrakhan’s Back

Back in the 1990s, the Rev. Louis Farrakhan seemed to make headlines left and right for choice comments such as Judaism being a “gutter religion,” his praise of Adolf Hitler as a great leader and his chastising Pope John Paul II for wearing a dress. I have some interesting memories from attending one of his speeches in Atlanta back in 1996 in the Georgia Dome. The Nation of Islam gave me a “guide” to make sure I’d stay in the press box. I got up and walked around anyway – to the displeasure of my friend. I felt the need to stretch out since Farrakhan is notoriously late for talks (this time 2.5 hours!). My guard insisted on walking close to me as I spoke with some of the 30,000 or so African Americans at the event. Farrakhan, by… read more

Hi Neil;
Should Rev. Farrakahn’s remarks, lies, accusations, and insinuations continue to be reported? I think most definitely, on many levels, for many reasons, ranging from “Know Thine Enemy”, to being able debunk and disprove the outrageous statements, and to be able to address the issues (some actually legitimate) that he uses to inflame and divide his target audience. I think a common mistake that a lot of people make is taking the term ‘African-American Community’ at face value, and thinking that there are not different sets of beliefs, desires, values and misconceptions with in said ‘community’. Being often at ‘street level’as I am; on the bus and in the ‘hood, as well as mixing and associating with a more assimilated segment of black society, I see and hear radically different and disparate views and opinions of Jews and Judiasm, and our stereotypes, (and whites, and educated vs. “ghetto” blacks, and hispanics etc.), that at times are in parallel with Neo-nazis and white supremacists, hard as that my be to believe.

Unless we know the transmitters and receivers of Rev Farrakhan’s at times vitriolic hatred, how can we counter and properly inform, and then invite in and listen to those whom the dialogue is most intended and needed to reach.
Thanks and keep watching and reporting.
