E,

"There are thinkers and thinkers."
And the quality of thinking is in the mind of the beholder.

For example, I find C.G. Jung's work brilliant, while many imminent psychologists find it a waste of time because many of his theories eg., collective consciousness, aren't empirically demonstrable. By whose definition are thinkers deemed "sensible"? Those with the most impressive CVs? Hah! I know several "sensible", educated fools, who haven't had an original thought in their lives, and are hardly qualified to judge minds like Jung's, et al.

Re: Louie Farakkan. Have you ever listened to one of his speeches from beginning to end? Here in Atlanta he's regularly avaliable on a local cable access channel, and in the 15 or so times I've watched him, I have heard reference to Yakub once. In my experience, I've found most of his speeches to be self-critical assessments of the black community while offering self-empowering solutions. Of course I've heard him spew some venomous rhetoric as well--animals who are in pain howl--and I view his comments in that light.
