Honest answers only please. Louis Farrakhan is said not to be in the best of health. How will he be remembered?
I have always found it odd that a man who stood at the forefront of equality and superiority for African-Americans was the first one to verbally railroad Jews, Whites, Asians and well everyone else but him.

John B: I never doubted Farrakhan's motives, just his method. I am not disagreeing with the fact that African-Americans were/have been treated unfairly - I am more of the thinking of this man didn't want to be called the "N" word but was spewing the "K" word in reference to Jews. That is hypocratic. No one should be given a free pass to be hateful - Farrakahan is no exception.
And for the record, I am first generation Irish-American, and my family has NOTHING to do with the enslavement of ANYONE...we have only been in this country for 55 years. Try to be more specific when you call all of Western Europe.

He is supposed to be dying, and I was desperately hoping he finally told the truth about his involvement in killing Malcom X, but he didn't.

Farrakhan lived through and fought against segregation and Jim Crow style racism. If I had been a part of that generation and experienced the types of things he did, the types of things my parents did. Being spit on, sprayed with water hoses, having dogs attack you -- I may be more angry and less forgiving than Farrakhan.
I think Black people in general are exceptionally forgiving. And, without people like Farrakhan these types of things would be still occurring. Martin Luther King was considered a radical until Malcolm X came along and pushed him to the middle. Then whites started to listen and want to negotiate with King, because Malcolm was behind him with the gun. Louis Farrakhan is no Malcolm X but he fills a similar role.

NO! He is a victim of slanted media coverage of his life!
This is not a defense of him but the fact is whether you are young or old in order to get a clear picture of things today you must Objectively, without Prejudice, study past history!
Farrakhan is demonized because of his words which are not equatible to the ACTS of white supremecists like skin heads, hitler, the kkk, conservative democrats and republicans and "others."
Elements of the jewish people were involved in African enslavement and in the economic exploitation of black americans in this country.
Western european whites are guilty of the murder, genocide, subjugation, exploitation, corruption, slavery, mineral and land theft, dehumanizing, regressive retardation and demonization of Africans here and on the African continent.
The black and white Asians in India, to their horrible shame, are guilty of all of the very same treatment of black people of African descent over in their country by way of the aryan sponsored, hindu sanctioned caste system.
The muslims elements in africa were also complicite in the forced islamization and enslavement of Africans --- even to this very day!!!!
When Farrakhan has tried to bring light to these historically documented truths he was always demonized by jewish elements and the mainstream media in general.
He is only guilty of harsh words , not violent deeds against white and other non black people! When he passes you can predictably expect the media to give an incomplete version of his life and legacy.
In all likelihood his legacy in this country will be a very slanted and skewed one to say the least!

He is, finally, immaterial and non-important. he will be forgotten soon. Thank goodness. A hateful man, who deserves to fade away from humanity.

I hope he will be remembered for his contributions to the African American culture.

I think he's a racist trouble-maker. And he invented his own branch of Islam. Good riddance if he dies. He is a hypocrite. He's just as racist as a Nazi or Klan member.
