Farrakhan is no Malcolm X

[MrScorpio]

True.

If he does positive works, I'll give him credit for them. If wha he does is negative, then he should be critized for those as well.

Each action or statement should me judged by its own merit, as it should be.

1. So when he enables himself and his 'work' to be tooled by the Moonies

whose roots in corruption, control and power stretch back decades, how should we interpret that?

Living a luxurious life off the donations of his 'followers' is no different than the teevee evangelists we decry daily.

He speaks with a forked tongue. He has no good intent, he's merely seizing on the Katrina catastrophe to ingratiate himself with a new audience who has no other voice to support them. He's exploiting the vulnerable victims of katrina for his own gain. I don't believe for ONE single minute that anything he's doing or saying is for anyone's benefit but his own -- it never has been and it never will be. He is who he is.

A person's actions yesterday are an indicator of his actions today...

3. I'm not going to defend him. Frankly, I've never been a fan

The fact that folks scrutinize him is all well and good. However, I'd like to verify each reason why every that he does is bad.

4. Then look no further than the Moonies. Please, use this tool at your f

fingertips, use a search engine like google and read about farrakhan and the moonies, separately and together.

THEN you can make an informed decision.

2. I agree.

I am also not going to tell or lecture my african-american friends on how they should think or feel, based on my subjective view, about Farrakhan when I have not experienced their experience(i hope that makse sense). :hi:
