If Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans organize quietly to do just

one-half of what Farrakan suggested today at the Millions More March, they will reap many benefits and Farrakan will be even more hated than he is today. Even in hyperbole there is a kernal of truth. To garner the kernal of truth and build from it is the task at hand. I wish them well.

1. Can't we find someone with less history than Farrakan?

2. Well, there is the DNC

Oh wait... their MIA.

3. Farrakhan has been around since 1955

That's a lot of history. There is no leader, NO LEADER who has given more speeches to a people in the history of humanity, than Farrakhan.

If Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad were dealing with some other people other then the DEAD black people of America, spiritually, mentally killed by america, that the scriptures describe as dry bones, that people would be the greatest people on the planet.

4. Okay, but, can we get someone with less history than Farrakhan?

Unless Farrakhan already has cross-over appeal to the American Indian and Hispanics, I just don't see it happening out of thin air.

8. farrakan?

No offense...but are you nuts? Farrakan is about as appealing as David Duke is.

I don't care that he speaks truth to power, as he most certainly does that. I find his analysis of white people as abhorrent as I do Bill Bennett'remarks about black babies and crime.

The enemy is fundamentalism and good ole Louis is all about fundamentalism. Best we leave this freak out of it all.
