Louis Farakan's Ministry ideas

[mandyky]

While I do not want LF in charge of the "Movement", I liked most of his ministry ideas. That said, my hubby claimed he was promoting communism, and I argued he wasn't really. I personally do not have a problem with socialism or communism, so I may be wrong and he may be right. What do you all think?

1. bit of both, kinda?

You have to remember that when nations of black people were oppressed the communist party was there supporting them. When the whole world was silent about apartheid, Cuba was giving Mandela support.

I don't think that Farrakhan is advocating communism as much as supporting those who have supported us in our struggle and the hell with everyone else.

As far liking or disliking Farrakhan, I am one of his biggest pork-eating fans. He is the only Black leader who is totally FEARLEss, because he isn't beholden to no one. I might not agree with everything he says, but I admire the guts he has to say them.
