They are called militant because they were armed with weapons - you can contrast that to commentators on fox news who offer editorials with words not weapons. Glen Beck is a douche-bag, so what, they are a dime a dozen.
so you don't agree with nas then? [video=youtube;blxF1aRuunc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blxF1aRuunc[/video]
You don't know all that much about Farrakhan or Malcom X do you? You might want to read up on how it was Farrakhan who had Malcom X killed.
i think you just despise farrakhan because he talks aggressive and seems not like a push over for the elite establishment. we need more people like farrakhan to speak for poor & ghetto people.
You know what the problem is with ministers like Al Sharpton and Farrakhan? They can be extremely hypocritical. They are trying to display this image of preaching for the rights of blacks to eliminate racism and all that but then they get up there and start bashing on white people. Everything is a racial issue! So much hate comes from them... I dont see how that is going to solve anything, honestly.
Anyone here remember the Tamara Brawley affair? When Al Sharpton architected the attempted framing of a group of white men for the non-existent rape of a black woman.
but i dun get why many aren't so enraged at those white commentators like glenn beck and michael savage & Hannity who are always racist in tone and despise ALL muslims.
when those groups of white men laughed and castrated black men when they hung them and had those kids laughing as they burned them to death. how is what's done by sharpton worse??
You're all over the place... No one's in a pissing match to see who's the more racist. The point is, HYPOCRISY. Can you stick to an apples to apple discussion for once?
Who in this forum is supporting these people? You're acting like were throwing these names at you in defense. And who says people arent enraged? I'm not ok with black OR white leaders using hateful words and violence to prove their point. But obviously they all have supporters out there somewhere (hence why they are popular) and so does Al Sharpton. As Mia said, this isn't a pissing match to see who's more racist... and to add, who has more racist supporters. Obviously, these people believe in whatever the person is preaching about for whatever reason. That is THEIR issue, not ours. I'm not saying it's ok, i'm saying it is the way it is.
But look how many Americans still watches and believes in fox news, it's a huge percentage who believe everything those commentators say about Muslims and people with beards. Bill O'Reilly said he wishes to lynch Obama's wife and people still enjoy his show and tune in. If farrakhan said he wanted to lynch Barbara Bush then would be scorn and outrage but with o'reily nobody in public will say a peep.
When did Bill O'Reilly say this? I dont really know if I should be getting into this because it's turning into a political discussion in the general chat forum... i could go on a tangent here....
[video=youtube;PPkX4FSDw18]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPkX4FSDw18&feature=related[/video] ^^^^in this video it shows the lynching stuff he said. oh, someone told me Steve Jobs was half Syrian. true or not?
Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "Fox News"... Good grief... What did you guys blame 15 years ago?
