    I am in agreement with Farrakhan, there is a lot of self hatred among the black community. We have got to learn to embrace our blackness and not let anyone tell us we are inferior, we are not the inferior race, it is those that oppose us. Everywhere I go I hear people of other races always admiring the skills and knowledge of the black people and how we excel in everthing we do. So we as black people and especially our black men stand up and love yourself and quit hating on each other and lets pull together as a black nation to become the number one people we are.

    I LOVE TO HEAR THIS MAN SPEAK. HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH WITH SUCH DEPTH

    He tells alot of truth, but remember who that man is. That`s the same man that admitted to labeling Malcolm X as an “enemy of Islam” and counted him as “worthy of death”. Yes, how soon we forget. So before praising the man, find out what he REALLY stands for. He`s an accessory to murder to some, and a hero to others. My people, have your opinions; but make them based on truth, not by what the “crowd” says.

    Minister Farrakhan isn’t a saint he knows that. He has admitted to a lot of things involving Malcolm X that he isn’t proud of. If you want point a finger in Malcolm X’s death, Elijah Mohammed should get the first one.

    Obama is cool but Farrakhan’ll always be HNIC as far as I’m concerned. May Allah Forgive him for whatever involvement he may of had with brother Shabazz’s death as I’m sure he (Malcolm) would’ve forgave him as well.

    Spot on, NYCsmoove & charlestodd3.

    Yah, mr_postman_09, I bet he’s up there in Heaven praising Jesus that this “man” basically had him violently assassinated in front of his wife and kids. I’m sure that visual image of seeing their dad gunned down like that wasn’t too traumatic.

    What a hypocrite. I don’t know who this guy is and I don’t give a crap frankly. He’s only stating the obvious in this video. You’d have to be white or braindead not to understand why MJ did what he did. Even in that movie Three Kings, there’s that scene where the Afghani guy beats the crap out of Matt Damon, telling him MJ did what he did because white people make black men ashamed to be black.

    FARRAKHAN IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW A BLACK MAN SHOULD THINK, SPEAK AND ACT. HE WANTS BLACK MEN TO THINK RATIONAL, CRITIQUE, UTILIZE COMMON SENSE. HE WANTS BLACK MEN TO SPEAK INTELLIGENT, WITH FACTS,COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING. HE WANTS BLACK MEN TO ACT CIVILIZED AS A SON, BROTHER, FATHER TO HIS MOTHER,WIFE,DAUGHTER AND SON. HE WANTS THE BLACK MEN TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR FAMILIES, COMMUNITY AND CLAIM THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE AS GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY PRAISING/HONORING THE CREATOR AND MAKING AN STRONG EFFORT TO FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS OF BIBLE/QURAN. HE DOESNT WANT BLACK MEN CAUGHT UP IN WORSHIPPING MATERIAL WEALTH/ OR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS. HE DOESNT WANT BLACK MEN LIVING DESTRUCTIVE LIFESTYLES. I RESPECT HIM FOR THAT COMMITTMENT TO HIS PEOPLE.

    Thank you Minister. I love to here you speak and I am not a muslim. Just a black female that enjoy how you articulate.

    Thank you Minister Farrakhan, your words speaks to a level of empathy, humility, critical thinking and courage that is without equal or peerless.

    WOW….I really love to hear him speak.

    All Praise is Due to Allah. For those of you who still want to believe whatever the white media and uncle tom negroes want you to believe about Malcolm’s death. There is no statue of limitations on murder. So if he actually had something to do with it don’t you think these white folks would have him in jail now? Since they obviously don’t like him,nor want him to wake up the rest of the deaf dumb and blind. All you do is regurgitate what you hear others say. But as we say in the Mosque if you love Malcolm so much live the life he lived. Quit smoking dope,quit eating swine(pork),quit beating our women,quit going to the nightclubs drinking and chasing women,quit smoking cigarettes,quit fighting and killing each other. And God forbid quit sleeping with the damn enemy and cooning for white folks on your job. Thats when you really prove that Malcolm is your man and you love and respect him.Peace

    I totally agree with the Minister but why do we only come together when somebody dies? Why can’t we show that same love before someone passes away? The things we as black people could accomplish is limitless but they keep us separated with drugs, alcohol and sex. We’re intelligent enough to know that all of them could lead us to our demise but yet we’re still out of control. Wake Up Black People.

    sure he sounds nice in the eloquence of his words, but this same person who said skin color doesn’t matter is the same person who uses the term “white Jews”, and accuses the owners of BET(BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION) of being evil and polluting the black race.Mind you BET is or was at one point owned by Jews. If race didn’t matter why doesn’t he address them as evil men only instead of “white jews”. Louis Farrakhan is a snake with a smooth tongue who can magnetize those who are weak. That is why so many muslims are those who were or once were in prison. Malcom X was once in prison and were did he become a muslim? In prison. Michael Jackson was a hurting man who had identity issues. When a man is in a point of desperation he will do anything to save himself. That is why Michael joined the Nation of Islam. Michael’s family were Jehovah’s witnesses. Because his family taught him religion instead of relationship with God he was able to be easily swayed by other religions.How many Muslims converted to Islam with a doctorates degree in divinity or theology who believed in the christian faith? You won’t find to many because the Nation of Islam preys on the weak with the eloquence of it’s words. That is the same way all politicians and leaders get you to follow them. Not by their fruits but with the eloquence of their words. Open up your eyes people, and look at the fruits. He along with malcom X spoke against the Message that Mr. Luther King Jr. taught. Not to say he disagreed with everything Dr. King taught but alot of it which is scripturally based. Malcom taught us to fight white people but Martin taught us to Love them. Who was more sucessful malcom or Martin? He calls the war in Iraq and Afghanistan the war on Islam. When truth is it is the war on terrorism. You can argue president bushes motives but you can not argue a soldiers motives. When your on the battle field you are not thinking about how you can get oil or money, you do not think about what race you are. All you care about is keeping yourself and the soldier beside you alive. They do not wish to kill people because of their faith but because of justice. Farrakhan won’t tell you about how in the quran it says,” When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. – 47:4 Funny because Malcom X called Dr. King a “uncle tom negro”. Yet Farrakhan is praised. It is funny the same man who says whites taught us to hate our black hair is the same man with a white mans hair dew. lol people think about these things.

    A perfect speech, the truth, the light, the right, why? cause it really doesnt matter if you are black or white. Confusism and a few bags of tricks, have sadly confused some of our brothers and sisters into thinking white,Anglo Saxon instead of say it LOUD I,M Black And I,M PROUD.If mass media say stop having babies we the people stop and it seems as we were the only one,s that did,many other mental posins has come upon us;however the MINISTER SPEECH, INTERVIEW WAS, IS AND IS ALWAYS ON POINT, LIKE OR NOT.
    thank you MINISTER LOUIS FARRAKHAN I WADUDE WOULD SAY PEACE BE UNTO YOU.
