1. Strange...

That's not the title of the article you've linked to.

2. Bad Move

Who does P.R. for these guys?

Allegations of Malcom X's assasination. Don King. Tawana Brawley.

I'll say no more.

3. He can really pick some nutty groups to associate himself with

First the Jehovah's Witnesses. Now NOI. With friends like those...

[megaplayboy]

4. wow...

That's so open-minded of them, coming to the defense of a famous white woman like that:evilgrin:

[Myra]

5. :) Hard to say who benefits less from the association.

Gads.

6. Yep.

eom

7. I thought that the Nation of Islam was only for Blacks

Perhaps they are recruiting white people now too.

8. I thought he joined the NOI

Jermaine's supposedly a member. Oh well, he was raised in one nutty cult, it's natural he'd turn to another.

Even though individual members have done some good things for the black community and there are occasional nuggets of truth to be found in some of their writings (buried deeply beneath a lot of paranoid bullshit, mind you) I abhor the group and everything they espouse.

Besides, they killed Malcolm. That's enough for me.
