He turned leadership of the Nation of Islam over to an executive board while he recovered, saying the movement must prove that it "is more than the charisma, eloquence and personality" of one person.

That's true - there's also the virulent anti-semitism and hatred of white people to consider. Plenty of organizations thrive on racism and thuggery, rather it's by committee or dictatorial control.

Shine on you crazy diamond!

I think the one great sadness of his life, as well as Jackson's, is that no one really wanted to kill him for his rhetoric. Which implies that he really had nothing meaningful to offer. He was just batshiat crazy.

Even Sharpton damn near got killed and could offer forgiveness.

That man is such an asshole. I cannot believe that he's still running around telling black people that white people are the cause of all the problems in the world.

Well, he DID tell Abbas that he went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan because "God Told Me To". Nothing this asstard does surprises me anymore.

And before you Freeper dicks start doubting the above, go to any of the other hundred threads where this was brought up and linked for proof. I can't be bothered anymore.

Farrakhan, 73, wrote in a Sept. 11 letter to followers that he was anemic and 20 pounds lighter because of complications from an ulcer in the anal area

You know, there's got to be a PITA joke in that quote there somewhere, I just can't seem to word it correctly.

Aside from being incredibly racist, Farrakhan is completely batshiat crazy. He makes people like Falwell seem like rational, open-minded people.

He thinks white people are a failed science experiment by black people a couple of thousands of years ago.

The true followers of Islam don't associate with him, as he goes against most of their teachings. He just pinned on that name to attract ignorant convicts.

He's not even worthy of a dance of joy. He's just a simpleton.
