Farrakhan responds to Obama criticism

Now I hope this will quiet all the naysayers who criticized Obama for publicly denouncing Farrakhan, or not "rejecting" him in the first place.......

What does he mean, that BO doesn't reject his anti-semitic views and NOI should vote for him anyway? His statement is a non-statement.

@ Sammy Can you read????? Farrakhan told his supporters that they shouldn't NOT vote for Obama on that the basis that he denounced his remarks on Jews.........Farrakhan understands that Obama can't publicly accept his support, but he doesn't want Obama to lose support from his followers, that's all..............

If Obama is the smart man I think he is, he will stay far away from Farrakhan. Farrakhan has done nothing for the black community. I live in his community; he has not reached out to the youth. I am not saying he can do alot, but he can do something. You only see him when he is trying to raise money for himself. He could have announced that tid bit of information to his followers himself, he didn't need the media.

One thing Farrakhan does do is speak the truth...he has more balls than the men currently in black or white leadership. He's not afraid of the government nor popular opinion. Our country would be more righteous with leaders who aren't afraid to expose wrong in high places.

Transition1, you've got that right, while, I hate some of his comments, when he calls out the racism in this country, he is telling the truth, too bad those who can only hear him about Israel and Jewish folks, and, yetr can't hear him about the truth about the virulent racism in the US of A.

Talk is cheap, action speaks!!

Minister Farrakhan words are all over the streets of Chicago. The Mosque is always full with young men from ages 10-60 every Sundays. For you to say Minister Farrakhan don't reach out to the youth, is like someone telling you, that you were born without an father. Are you serious???? He is the only Leader that the young men ( rappers, street organizations, masons, fraternities and every day individuals) listen and gravitate too. Minister Farrakhan even got the attention of young Latinos. So once again, I charge you with being a liar about the above statement. If Minister Farrakhan is not in the street, The Mighty F.O.I is in the street on his behalf. Not just in Chicago, but as far as South Africa, Brazil and The UK. Bro. Amir Mosque #2
