Farrakhan was on the front page of the church's magazine- but that has little to do with Obama, imo. sweetness-light.com Farrakhan certainly is "empowering". He was a huge part of the million man march. africawithin.com Clinton, of course, was also accused of being a Farrakhan lover (And thus a supporter of his hate). frontpagemag.com It's too bad Farrakhan has his anti-Jewish side, because his ideas about empowering black men and making them better fathers, and more responsible community stakeholders is a good one. His Nation of Islam has good rules for clean living- it's just a shame they come with such baggage. But for people in the trenches of the black community to honor the man for the good things he's done- I can understand that. I don't agree with it, but since Obama didn't honor the man himself, I'm not worried about it. I don't even find Clinton's hortatory words distressing.
