[Skidmore]

1. Thank you, thank you, thank you

My dialup thanks you.

[proud patriot]

2. You're welcome

I was asking myself the same question when I
saw your request .

:hug:

[malaise]

11. All persons with particular skills

need to organize in their communities and link up with others across the globe.

Farrakhan is making real sense here because Bushco already has parallel ministries. Set up our own schools, newspapers, farms, businesses, etc.
Garvey said all of that eons ago.

[IndyOp]

31. Wow - Bushco already has parallel ministries

Through the Evangelical Churches, huh? I hadn't thought of that.

[malaise]

3. Hit them on the doctors

hit them on the social issues - Ministry of Health and Human Service.

[IndyOp]

4. I am still appalled by Castro's offer of 1,500 doctors

having been turned down while people suffered and died.

:nuke:

[Skidmore]

10. The people need to take back the government.

[malaise]

24. No the people need to organize themselves

and take care of themselves and ignore those who are out to destroy them.

[BronxBoy]

32. I agree

Katrina has showed us that we have only ourselves to depend upon.

[Skidmore]

6. Yes! Native Americans are being included....

I like this taking the power away from the pharmaceuticals and agricorps. Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

[knowbody0]

5. is this even being reported on msm?

what an incredible gathering.

[alphafemale]

13. I guess 2 dozen Nazis in Toledo is more important.

:mad:

I don't pay to have cable MSM crap piped into in my home, but that seems to be the case from posts elsewhere on DU.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Can't wait to see what the MSM reports on this... 10,000? 20,000?

the usual, either totally ignore it or ridiculous under-estimate.:mad:

On the radio they are saying "thousands" of African-Americans are gathering....

[knowbody0]

9. 1.8 MILLION !

[alphafemale]

18. Stunning. Just trying to imagine 4X the number of people of our HIGH est.

of the march 3 weeks ago.

:wow:

[Up2Late]

137. Where did you get that number? It looks big, but not that big.

Not accusing, just asking.:shrug:

[ultraist]

16. ABC reported online "thousands" and a lot less than the first MMM

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1217238

The event appeared smaller than the Million Man March, with crowds dispersed between the U.S. Capitol steps across to the grassy Mall. A decade ago hundreds of thousands stretched from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, although just how many actually attended that rally remains in dispute.


---
It doesn't seem to be making any front page news and they are already under reporting attendance numbers.

[malaise]

26. It does not matter what they report

ANSWER brought 600,000 and now NOI has over a million. The people are organizing themselves and bypassing MSM.

[ultraist]

64. Yes,but it's still frustrating and disappointing that the M$M LIES

And spins everything to suit their agenda although I have seen a bit of improvement on some reporting, recently. I suppose they feel it's safe enough to report some truth, since Bush's ratings are rock bottom low.

[porphyrian]

135. Isn't ABC owned by Disney?

Nevermind, I looked it up. Yes, it is.

[IndyOp]

21. You know that Million Man March organizers 10 years ago sued over

the low-ball estimates of attendance at that rally - and won $. That is why the park service won't give estimates anymore.

I heard it from Amy Goodman on DemocracyNow!

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Preach brother Farrakhan!

[BronxBoy]

17. OMG

Freeper heads must be blowing up around the country: References to Mao_Tse Tung and Allah on the Capitol steps.

[knowbody0]

23. you forgot Cuba!

[donheld]

142. Imagine a Cuban flag.

:evilgrin:

[goclark]

136. Freepers must be taking bottles of Pain Killers!

On that stage today we have Proud Black people that are not afraid to speak their minds and tell the world what they think.

That is truly unique and as a Black person, I love every minute o it.
That is the way we talk in conversatons with each other.


Guess those that are afraid of the message are equally afraid that a Black Man/Woman would dare to talk back to the Chimp right in his front yard.

He is such a wimp that he is "vacagioning" at Camp David.

Note: Question Bronx Boy- who was the handsome young man that was the first to call for the impeachment of GWBush today? As I recall he was a Black Muslim based on his attire.

Some at DU said it was the son of Malcolm but, to my knowledge Malcolm had only daughters.
Then who was that man? He was awesome and a rising star.

[cal04]

12. We need to unite everybody. We need to be one

to fix what's wrong. It's not just a single race that's affected it's all people.

[Skidmore]

14. I'd like to see the genesis of a new political party

based on this movement--and through any coalition that can find common cause with these human issues. Yes!!

[IndyOp]

19. My opinion - we need separate groups and mixed groups -

As a woman, I need women's groups - a place where I hear my own voice coming from the mouths of my sisters.

As a participant in Native American ceremonies I see the healing that happens when Natives come together for the purpose of loving, growing their own culture.

I am wary of debating separate vs. combined -- this comes up all the time on the left as we work to be as inclusive as possible -- we need BOTH, IMO, separate and combined.

[ultraist]

25. I agree. We need seperate groups and a coalition of groups for unity

Just as some of the churches do with the interfaith alliance.

[Pepper32]

30. My sentiments exactly (eom)

[shenmue]

51. Yes

Very true.

:applause: :thumbsup:

[IndyOp]

15. Oh wow! Native Americans have offerred to lease

land to AfAm Revolutionaries -- I liked Farrakhan's statement about how a tropical storm got elevated to hurricane -- IT GOT ORGANIZED!

:woohoo:

Oh, wow - flashbacks to the 60's: We need a Ministry of Human Services that provides medical care; we need a Ministry of Agriculture to get healthy food into the cities; we need a Ministry of Education because the western system of education has run its course and is no longer worthy of our children -- (uh, oh - he doesn't mean religious education, does he? - I don't agree with everything he has to say).

Our brothers are in the wrong war - they are fighting a war in the streets against each other or they are fighting an unjust war in Afghanistan or Iraq. Young Men Come On - we need a Ministry of Defense - to defend our communities.

We need a ministry of Art & Culture.

[knowbody0]

20. news managed media

wow!

[liberaliraqvet26]

22. I wish Farrakhan would acknowledge leftist whites...

and include us in his struggles. His ideas are great and many of us want to be a part as well.

[knowbody0]

27. register and be counted

the hurricains have blown us all together

[malaise]

28. He did include all the poor

and the majority of poor in America are white people. There are white people in the crowd.

[IndyOp]

29. Do you believe that we should be compensated for over 400 years

of slavery and injustice! Respond "Yes", "No" or "I don't know" -

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

:woohoo:

[IndyOp]

33. The Democratic Leaders are Like House Servants on the Plantation!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RepublicanElephant]

34. and now we see why louie and moonie are best buds...

...split the democratic party.

[malaise]

37. Where are the democrats today

How many showed up? How many showed up for the ANSWER rally? Why is it always Conyers and Sheila Jackson Lee who show up? Where is the Democratic party rally. Why aren't they seizing this moment in time.

Why blame those who are willing to organize themselves? The Dems would have to offer a better deal with some competition. They would have to stop their silence.
Edit - sp and correction.

[RepublicanElephant]

41. sounds like...

...the message nader delivered in 2000.

i tell you, the dems, especially us african-americans, are being PLAYED just in time for 2006 elections.

[BronxBoy]

52. Well stay the fuck home then

You get played only if you let yourself get played.

Yeah, shit might get worse if we decided to sit out an election cycle, but we're Black in America....We're fucked already.

[RepublicanElephant]

76. okay. i work at home anyway...

...but seriously, i've been uneasy since i found out farrakhan and rev moonie were buds.

but i've really got a problem with the suggestion that blacks seperate from the dems... it's nader all over again.

so we make a point.

and while we're making this point, repugs keep congress, and condi (or worse) slithers into the white house, 'cause we're busy making a point.

[BronxBoy]

90. And your point is what?

Did you even bother to look at all of the pictures from Katrina?

I'm disappointed that the Democratic leadership didn't grow a pair and call the repsonse to Katrina what the majority of Black folk believe: A total and monumental slap in the face to Black people. I don't even want to go into the whole levee rumor thing.

We've been loyal Democratic supporters when a lot of other Democratic supporters were not so loyal. Go talk to the soccer moms and Christians who helped "repugs keep congress, and condi (or worse) slithers into the white house, 'cause they're busy making a point."


You talking this shit AFTER Katrina.

:rofl:

[RepublicanElephant]

97. look, i agree the donkey's ass needs a good spanking...

...but "abandoning" the party?

geez, talk about katrina.

when the dems are sinking (again) in the repug flood of 2008, will farrakhan come to the rescue?

or will dems be "fema-ed"?

[BronxBoy]

106. Well............

What do you suggest as an alternative?

I think that Black people are tired of the we need to be "loyal because if we aren't, the consequences could be very, very bad." :scared:


I mean, after Katrina, what would you have us do?

And I haven't processed all of this third party stuff. CSPAN just went off

[politicasista]

100. I disagree

Dean spoke out and said race played a factor in the slow response. Edwards released a statement and spoke out, Clark also spoke out as well, Kerry was in Iraq when Katrina hit, but released a statement and reached out (and still is) to Katrina victims. The CBC was extremely vocal about the slow response as well.

I don't agree with all the democrats, but there are some who did speak out, the media is not covering them.

[BronxBoy]

117. The Democrats....

while out of power still occupy some of the highest seats of power in this country.

Saying the media wasn't covering them is kinda like a cop out!

[goclark]

105. Speak Bronx Boy, Speak!

I didn't read it that he wanted us to do what Moonie wants us to do!

I read it that he wants us to THINK!

He was saying to Black America, " put the pressure on the Democrats and make them know that WE mean business. WE need to make sure that we have a FIRM seat at the table, not just a stool with three legs.

Ferrakan listens to a lot of people and he had them on TV today.

He mentioned that if we are firm in our demands, that gives our Black elected officials more POWER.

That is exactly the same thing that Conyers and Rangel have said for years.

His message was brilliant!

He empowered Black America today and Black America heard him loud and clear.

My 85 year old mother was listening and she said," Why can't he be President, he makes more sense than that idiot in the WH!"

[IndyOp]

38. If someone wanted a dramatically reformed Democratic Party -

what should they do? Wait? Be Patient?

[RepublicanElephant]

62. no we don't wait...

...but we don't throw the baby out with the bath water (unless it's bill bennett washing a black baby).

fix our house from the inside out, don't demolished it.

i've just got a baaad feeling about farrakhan's speech. great speeches made by great people today. but then reality has to kick-in.

this should be about registering, voting on machines with paper trails. when dems see record numbers at the polls, and honest voting machines counting those votes, they'll do what policitians do, once they know we've got their backs... they'll be beholden to us because we proved we CAN make a difference.

we can fix our party without confusing, dividing and ultimately destroying it.

[BronxBoy]

83. Earth to Dubya....

The party is already confused and divided. I hope it's not destroyed. But the bottom line is that a lot of Black folk, while we hate the republican party, we ain't too sure about the Democrats.

The Democratic leaders are throwing the baby out with the bath water.

[RepublicanElephant]

87. so then history will repeat itself....

...and i wonder if nader will be welcomed into farrakhan's new political force.

man, i pray i'm wrong about all this.

but i've become one cynical broad over these past five years.

and farrakhan's friendship with the mooonies isn't helping me any.
google "farrakhan rev. moon"

:(

[BronxBoy]

103. You say you're Black....

I gotta take you at your word. But I gotta tell you, this circle the wagons around the Dems just ain't working for me. Farrakhan has never had a major following in the Black community. When most Black folk wake up tomorrow, we aren't going to say "Damn that was a great speech the Brother put on yesterday, I'm going to down to the mosque and sign up! Throw them pork chops out because I'm a changed man!!!!!!!!!!"

Nader took a certain segment from the Dems for whatever reason. This new party,(and I'm not sure I agree with it but for altogether different reasons) may flee the coup too.

So at some point, you have to ask the question: Why should people stay with a party that has pretty much stood by while they got f**ked? I mean, at some point, shouldn't it be a matter of the party keeping the people and not the people keeping the party?

[RepublicanElephant]

109. "You say you're Black...."

...well actually, it says "negro" on my birth certificate.

and folks don't have to convert to islam to be turned-off enough to and NOT vote for dems.

[BronxBoy]

116. OoooH "Negro"

I'm older than you so I gotta check mine to see what it says. Hell, I don't even know if I have a copy

Probably says 'BOUND TO BE A FUCK UP" And trust me, after many years of trying I finally lived up to that my BC! :rofl:

And you're right "folks don't have to convert to islam to be turned-off enough to and NOT vote for dems."

But it's ok not to vote for Dems and not be converted to Islam

[RepublicanElephant]

119. Probably says 'BOUND TO BE A FUCK UP"...

...typical self-loathing liberal!

but you're still cool.
:yourock:

[BronxBoy]

123. I'm not self loathing!!!!

I wallow in my fucked-upness!!!! I carry it as a badge of honor.

Makes me humble.

So I apologize for questioning your "Blackness". It's not like we're sitting in a bar or anything so I shouldn't make assumptions on the net.

Sorry

But this sticking with the Democrats because the alternative is to horrible to contemplate is still bullshit..... :scared:

But I ain't mad at ya!

:toast:

[goclark]

132. BronxBoy rocks!

[IndyOp]

84. I wnat to know exactly HOW to slap the Dem leadership

out of their f***ing trance, NOW. I think what Rev. Farrakhan is saying MIGHT have an impact - so, it is good.

[RepublicanElephant]

91. maybe...

...but i bet karl rove is somewhere smiling...
that is, if he's not thinking about fitzgerald.

[BronxBoy]

108. Then Karl Rove Smiles.....

And Black folk will still be barred from coming back to NOLA.

[countryjake]

127. Write to the progressive groups!

I just dashed off a stinging response to the latest MoveOn survey, asking them why no mention has been made of mobilizing for the MMM or the World Can't Wait rally in Nov. and asking them exactly what action do they consider important at this ripe time!

[porphyrian]

138. At their core, they're politicians.

That's what they do for a paycheck. When politics is your career, you don't take chances, period. The thing is, the more we show out, the more we make it known that we are willing to DO something, and that it might be in their better interest to get off their asses and start appealing to the giant-ass group of politically motivated voters marching outside their office, the more we're going to start seeing them. But don't expect them all to come running this time or even the next time. They don't place bets they aren't sure they'll win. Elections are coming up in 2006, and you can bet they're aware of this fact. Don't everyone just go home and be back to business as usual. Keep the pressure on. Make sure you're registered to vote. Contact your Congressmen. Often. If they don't believe you're willing to participate, they aren't going think about you. However, if they realize that the 2006 election is going to have a record voter turnout, and that the majority of the voters are expecting someone who will DO something about this shit, someone's going to stand up.

[malaise]

110. So are you saying that

Afro Americans should get back to your message and ignore their own issues. Farrakhan merely suggested that they organize themselves and make the Dems show some respect and take their issues seriously. You can't blame them for believing that Dems only want their votes.

[helderheid]

118. I couldn't agree more

[Skidmore]

43. The Dems are unwilling to fix themselves or the system,

as are the Rs. Becoming obselete is not only the destiny of the dinosaurs. Change or become extinct.

[ultraist]

71. I don't see it as splitting the party

But more as holding the Dems accountable. Farrakhan did say that Jesse Jackson and other Dems will always have a seat at the table.

[goclark]

88. He wasn't saying to split the party

He was saying that we need to think spart.

I have seen the same thing said on this Board.

[countryjake]

133. Didn't Clinton endorse this March?

Is he trying to split the Democratic party, too? I may be wrong, but I thought that I heard a while ago that Bill Clinton said this type of "coming together" would strengthen us!

[countryjake]

134. Here's a link to Clinton's endorsement...

and his thoughts on why it's a good idea for diverse groups to unite!


Bill Clinton Supports Million More March
by Jamal E. Watson
New York Amsterdam News

~snip~

Clinton, who remains extremely popular among African-Americans, said that another march, followed by aggressive organizing efforts, could help to curtail some of the challenges in the Black community, which range from high unemployment and alarming prison rates.

“Jesse and Mr. Farrakhan and Rev. Sharpton probably have internal domestic political differences, but they’ve agreed on this and I think it’s a good thing,” said Clinton. “I like the idea of a march, but I think it would also be good at the march for them to say, ‘We want to call your attention to this problem and here’s something else you can do. And that it’s fine to be concerned about security, but we also have to keep trying to make America strong and better here at home. And we can’t neglect the quality of our jobs, the quality of our education, the quality of our environment.’”

[IndyOp]

35. If we form a powerful party - the Democratic Party will beat a path to

our door and Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton will never be denied a seat at the forum.

:kick:

[Skidmore]

36. Party of the People! Party of the Poor!!

Free the politicians... You can smell the poopy filling shorts in the halls of power. The Rs just lost big time--Mehlman better stay home from any other meetings. Dems, wake the eff up!! Get your heads out of your butts. This is what some of us have been saying for years now. To hell with the DLC. They DO NOT REPRESENT the people. Repair ourselves.

[goclark]

44. He nailed that one ~ he is saying that

we have to make our Democratic party RESPECT our wishes and not just give our votes to them.

That is a POWERFUL statement.

He is blasting away.

Just called for freeing Africa of ALL debt!!!!

He is zooming now! Speak!!!

[H2O Man]

39. I'm finding Louis' speech fascinating.

I have rarely listened to him, because I am aware of his role in Malcolm's death. But he is making a lot of sense today. I'm not going to accept everything he says on face value -- in fact, not anything. But he's saying some important things today.

[libnnc]

46. I'm on the same page

with you H2OMan--I'm disappointed that Keith Boykin wasn't allowed to speak this morning, but I'm not going to shut my ears to the other important issues being discussed today. I can still hope that Farrakhan will change his views about gays and lesbians.

[ultraist]

81. So am I. Farrakhan is making some really good/powerful points n/t

[BronxBoy]

124. Who is Keith Boykin???

I snapped at you earlier for bring this up, but I'd like to know more now.

I heard the guy on a local GA radio station and he didn't sound bent. But then I read a few snippets on the net that suggested otherwise. So what gives?

[libnnc]

129. its all in the first thread

but here...

<snip> Despite anti-gay statements by Farrakhan and other march organizers, Cleo Manago of Black Men's Exchange, which calls itself a group for black men of "diverse sexual/intimate expression," briefly addressed the crowd. <snip> from cnn.com

Cleo Manago does not consider himself to be gay...
http://washingtonblade.com/2005/10-14/news/national/mil...
<snip>Cleo Manago, founder of the Black Men’s Xchange, who identifies as ‘same gender loving’ and not gay, said he would likely speak at the Millions More Movement march this weekend. <snip>

not the same guy, NOT the same message...again, the MSM gets it wrong.
Jesus! And I'm sitting here doing this clean-up research for free in my jammies!

[libnnc]

130. and here...

http://washingtonblade.com/2005/10-14/news/national/millions-more.cfm

[goclark]

48. I loved Malcolm but I am not going to refuse

to listen to him because of something thatmay have happened years ago.

If Malcolm's son can rise to speak at this march, that is good enough to me.


He is saying something really important today!!

[Pastiche423]

93. I thought Malcolm X only had daughters

Am I mistaken?

At any rate, Russell Simmons made me cry tears of joy.

[ultraist]

111. Malcolm had six children n/t

[Pastiche423]

122. True. And all six were girls

http://www.cmgww.com/historic/malcolm/about/bio3.htm

[colinmom71]

128. There is one grandson, also named Malcolm...

His mother is Qubilah, and he would be about 20 years old now. He's remained a rather private figure, despite the publicity given him in the aftermath of his grandmother's death. As far as I know, there are no pictures of him publicly available and he's never made himself available for any interviews or commentary.

[H2O Man]

131. As pointed out,

Malcolm had no sons. And it's not something that "may have happened". Malcolm was indeed killed. No question about that.

[Up2Late]

139. Rev. Farrakhan is a changed man since his near death experience a few...

...years ago (heart attack I think). When he spoke after that, the change was obvious. He realized his mortality, in his near death, and realized that any one of us could die without any warning. I have great respect for Rev. Farrakhan now, before, he scared me a lot.

[H2O Man]

146. I have a great interest

in much of what he said. And I respect the fact that he has the ability to put much of it in motion. I also realize that when a person talks like he talked yesterday, about changing a significant portion of the economic system in this country, and they talk about it in a manner that implies they will actually put those words into action, they are brave in a way that indicates they have conquered the fear of death. That seems consistent with what you are saying.

[Pepper32]

40. "Divided we keep injustice in power. "

[IndyOp]

42. Hey folks - Recommend the Million More March threads!

I want DU to SEE this event!

[malaise]

45. How do I recommend -where do I vote n/t

[IndyOp]

47. On the original post - at the bottom is a link to recommend! (nt)

[malaise]

49. Thanks

no taxation without representation - that simple.

[goclark]

54. IMO, this is one of the Greatest Political Speeches

I have ever heard.


He is a uniting speaker.

He is forceful yet compassionate.

He inspires his troops to stay focused on a clear mission.

He is speaking to the WORLD and you can bet the WORLD is listening.

[malaise]

57. It is brilliant

he covers the Diaspora really well.

Edit - sp Add.

Meanwhile the rain is pelting here across Jamaica. Expect serious floods somewhere on the island.

[IndyOp]

50. If we can't get justice - THEY don't need our tax dollar.

We don't need to go fight, THEY can do it.

[malaise]

53. Damn he's hitting the Caribbean elites

Farrakhan's grasp of global issues is phenomenal.

[knowbody0]

55. im inspired

by his wise words.

[goclark]

56. Absolutely ~ he is brilliant!

GW is not brilliant!

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

60. 'If you only knew what your government

was doing in your name....government skewed intelligence'

powerful stuff.

[ultraist]

85. Welcome to DU BlacknBlue in Red NC!

:hi: from Raleigh. ;)

[Skidmore]

58. Yes! my husband is West Indian and things

can get pretty dire down there.

[malaise]

66. Regime change now

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Geez he's giving them the licks.

[malaise]

94. That's where I am

Bombing in Trinidad last night; non-stop killings in Jamaica. Chaos.

[BronxBoy]

112. Bombings in Trini?

Really?

What's the deal?

[malaise]

113. Here you go

http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=108518594

Five men were held following an explosion which injured ten people outside the popular Smokey and Bunty bar in St James last night.

National Security Minister Martin Joseph told TV6 News that five were arrested in connection with the incident. Sources said two men were arrested on the compound of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen shortly after the blast at 7.10 p.m.

TV6 reported last night that a top member of the Jamaat has been questioned.

[BronxBoy]

120. No stuff

I was there for a few weeks last year. I was in the Saint James area on quite a few nights.

I knew that Trini was trying to counteract a rising tide of violence but is this something other than the gang/drug related stuff I read about when I was there?

The big deal when I a=was there was that a machine gun turned up missing from a police station

[malaise]

121. This is recent

very recent.

[BronxBoy]

125. Shit's Getting..

serious down there.

[BronxBoy]

126. And Shark and Bake

is the BOMB!!!!!!!!

With a cold STAG

[file83]

59. I'm reading Zinn's "A People's History of the United States".....

...and listening to Farrakhan speak is moving me deeply. His message is reaching Phoenix, AZ loud and crystal clear.

[Skidmore]

61. Officer Mike, he's talking to you now. Your turn.

Better listen up. Wake Rummy up too.

He's so right on.

[goclark]

82. Speak TRUTH to POWER My Brotther

He is bringing it on down!

No One Else In America can do what he has done today.

[IndyOp]

63. THAT sounds like a Muslim - I hate the taking of innocent life -

The AMERICAN PEOPLE do not know what policy this government and other governments are doing that makes people HATE America -

If you only KNEW what your country is doing in your name!

The intelligence community skewed intelligence to bring this house to vote for war. If the Congress people knew the truth they never would have voted for war. To watch Sec. of Defense - Rumsfeld - bang his chest over the bombing of Afghanistan and over the taking of Baghdad with shock & awe.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[wildeyed]

65. Regime change!

:woohoo:

[cal04]

68. we need to get real voting machines first

then we can get the neocons out

[IndyOp]

78. I think we have to do both - and do it by thinking WAY outside the box -

Regime change - neocons out - new govt with new voting system.

2008 is TOO LATE! World Can't Wait
<http://www.worldcantwait.org/>

:kick:

[IndyOp]

67. Imagine a QUADRAPLEGIC fighting the HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE

WORLD -

'Millions More' Rally on National Mall

Listen to this story...(at link above)
by Allison Keyes

All Things Considered, October 15, 2005 · Organizers have invited a multitude to gather on the National Mall today for the Millions More Movement, a 10th anniversary commemoration of the Million Man March. The march in 1995 attracted hundreds of thousands of black men, who pledged to take personal responsibility for their families and communities.

[donheld]

143. I don't care what anybody says, Minister Louis Farrakhan Kicked ass today!

:kick:

[goclark]

145. Yes ! They boldly said " REGIME CHANGE!"

The entire March was geared first to African American people.
Encouraging us to get our own house in order regarding education and politics.

Then, he and others at the March were BOLD and TRUTHFUL enough to say what we have been saying at DU, "REGIME CHANGE,NOW."

Farrakan,IMO, delivered one of the most powerful political speeches of my lifetime.

I am sure that their will be many that will pick his message apart until the cows come home but he and the other speakers let the WORLD know that we must have REGIME CHANGE in America.

The Rev. preached his sermon yesterday!

[malaise]

144. Great coverage on BBC TV

interviews with persons there, snip of Farrakhan and brief comment about the economic slant to his address.
