NOI was fractured,not dead. You can't pretend as though he wasn't representing himself as NOI when he came to these communities. And the NOI was very famous,since arguably the most famous black man in the world at the time was NOI. So pretending Farakhan started some fresh new organization and people followed him is insane. He gathered up the desenters accross the country basically,there was already an audience for him. The NOI was already and established household name and only got even more popular as Malcolm X gained popularity with the younger generation,as well as hiphop grew. I appreciate you cleaning yourself up,I'm sure the suits were all nice ironed and crisp,but the community is still a mess if you haven't looked around. Sounds like yall are too busy taking care of your man,instead of taking care of your young men in the community,and protecting our young women.
And note,as a Christian I have the same issues with 99.9% of the churches. Sure you did some good,but doesn't mean you are living up to the legacy or the dollars that black folks put into your organization. Nor or you living up to the love and respect that people show when they treat you like a unreproachable deity. These are 100% truths that can't be denied.
You speak without knowing what you're talking about. 99.9 % of the members of the Nation of Islam are New, as in post 1975, who never heard the Life-Giving Teaching of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad until they heard Minister Farrakhan. Again, he rebuilt the Nation of Islam from the ground up, with only one other Brother to assist him. People would come out of the audience after being inspired by his words, and they would travel around with him. You know next to NOTHING of the history of the NOI. You know the few pages you've read in a book or on the internet. Minister Farrakhan is our Head of State, and we treat him as such. We afford him the same (actually better) treatment as the secret service affords the president. Black people were taught by white folks to tear down their own leadership, but we in the Nation aren't on c00n time or Black self-hatred time. We positively LOVE and RESPECT our Man? And there's NOTHING too good for him. That's how we roll. Others can choose to roll as they wish. There's no compulsion. But, WE roll like we roll, and we delight in rolling thusly. Haters, gossip-mongers, and other clowns to the back.

". Farkahan is the equivelant of a scarecrow for jews that they put out every once in a while to try to scare folks. They want to find a new nikka who hates jews so bad,I could rise to the top quickly if grabbed about 10 nikkas and said fukk jews. They would make it a point to promote me,just because even they know the whole scary Farakhan rhetoric is getting tired. The poor minister himself doesn't even understand it and says he was speaking out of ignorance,but they won't let it go.

. I can't take anybody who follow Farrakhan seriously
