Minister Farrakhan Reminds Black Detroit to Stick Together

124. I know, right.

It's hard not to resent being spoken to like a prepubescent stepchild who has started hanging around with undesirable friends from the other side of town. Especially when you could probably find other threads where they don't seem to give a flying flip who their real kids interact with, what they do when they get together, or what happens to their bodies.

But, woe be unto you if you disagree with a preapproved script that you darn well didn't and won't get a chance to participate in creating.

I don't know a single black person in my life who doesn't think Farrakhan is racist. But, it's almost like these people don't think we will have the mental capacity to understand water is still wet even if a racist says it. You can almost get a mental image of someone standing in front of you waving their hands back and forth, yelling "Don't listen, don't listen." and then "You're in big trouble, mister. Just wait til I get you home."

That's where all this stupid disavowing comes from. I disavow this person. I disavow that person. Like it erases what you've just done???

Tell the truth. I don't agree with everything the man says. I believe some of it is downright evil. But, as for what the black community needs to do economically speaking, the brother has a point. And, the last time I looked around, I was grown and can go anywhere and talk to anyone I darn well, please.

These people only have the power over your lives that you give them. And that goes for Farrakhan, David Duke, the KKK, Republicans, and heretofore any democrat who decides they get to think for other capable grown folk of any ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation without their permission.
