151. I the black members
of your family share your views, they are most unusual. I have never seen displayed among African Americans the kind of hostility to Farrakhan that is shown here by some posters. Most African Americans have enough sense not to accept reports coming from a news media that has often been untruthful when reporting on the black race. People can write anything but what they write does not have to be true. I find the constant attack on black leaders very disheartening. I find insisting that blacks accept only leaders approved by people not from their community insulting. Once again, it's not Farrakhan, it's his message of black dignity, black self reliance, black responsibility for their community that is so attractive. YOU and others want black people to discard someone who has the power to get millions of people to listen. It shows a lack of concern about the black community and a determination to seek vengeance against Farrakhan for what you perceive as his bigotry. We have problems in our community that need to be addressed. If Farrakhan can bring people together to solve these problems, that is a good thing.
