Below is a video that was shared in another thread. I would be lying if I said that I'm not bothered or confused by it. For a long time I been somewhat of a fan of Farrakhan,in spite of disagreeing with some of his views and comments. But lately he has been showing signs of "cracking"(for lack of a better word). He kicked a member out of the nation for saying, and making the same comments he has made. During an special interview on him,he said that he was not going to fall in that trap of bashing Obama but he does anyway. Then you have this video below,bashing the black American for wanting to have a connection to a place most of us consider to be the motherland. So I'm a bit confused and feel a bit lost.
From what I gather,he wants blacks to follow his way and be Muslim. He said we've been a white man's fool,now we are a black man's fool for wanting to wear our hair natural.Well I've seen a few stores that are operated by members of the nation and they sell hip-hop,bootleg movies,and black haircare products for natural hairstyles.
Now I know I've heard him preach brotherhood and how we should connect with out brothers and sisters in Africa,but here,in this video,he clearly says that the "African does not respect you". If this is the case,why are you preaching brotherhood? To me,he's being hypocritical because he and others slammed MLK for loving a people that despised and hated us. So what are your views on this video?
