Farrakhan
Colin Powel is a hero and we would have wanted him for a president, if he would have wanted to run. Farrakhan is not respected and is part of the reason for Islamaphobia. He promoted hatred for whites, Jews and others. Had he not blamed others for holding his people back and promoted violence his word would have meaning. He even made excuses for the gangs and violence in our communities.

Farrahkan
Sorry for the previous attack on Louis Farakhan. His last words on this video show a side of him that I have never heard, but would have loved to have heard it before. I've heard him speak a number of times but never with as much open heartedness as this. I hope he can keep it up.

Minister Farrakhan
As much as Minister Farrakhan has been demonized in the US press, he impresses me as a very informed, reasonable, and compassionate person. I am a fifty-seven year old white man who has lived in the US South my entire life.

"He promoted hatred for whites, Jews and others. Had he not blamed others for holding his people back and promoted violence his word would have meaning. He even made excuses for the gangs and violence in our communities" these sort of inaccurate comments and or opinions are the reason "the nation of Islam" which minister Farrakhan represents and Muslims in general are hated, misunderstood. Minister Farrakhane has never promoted or preached violence and you can't prove it
