ur misinterpreting what he’s saying

agreed but i have to say

for tons of ppl this type of s*** is their only way of resolving their trauma,finding community with other black ppl, and having a sense of spirituality

it’s easier to say “black ppl should have stopped f***ing with NOI after malcolm” without looking at the material conditions that make black ppl (mostly men) go to groups such as NOI

very obvious to me that he was in the chat bc it was that hotep energy and carelessly stayed when they were on some racist s***.

sounds like he wasn’t even engaged most of the time, but if he was then yikes

Dude. Can we f***ing STOP F***ING MOVING THESE THREADS ABOUT CELEBRITIES TO POLITICS

JUST LOCK IT OR KEEP IT THERE

WHO THE F*** EVEN IS LAKEITH STANFIELD????

Also there was a s***ty Seagal movie from 2014 with a Romanian Jew actress and she was fine af but I don’t have any screenshots

Saw Farrakhan and stopped reading

I hope more of these type situations happen so we eventually are forced to have our own media ecosystems...which would kinda prove lol

He’s going to be an interesting case because of the demographics his fanbase consists of

I wonder how shorty look now tho

Man it’s weird as f*** how y’all like rap music but then say some s*** like this about Farrakhan

Really wish there was some sort of test you had to pass before your Apple Music even let y’all listen to black music lol

this is some twisted logic

Almost as twisted as being a hip hop fan and wanting to cancel black men for discussing/agreeing with some of Farrakhan’s viewpoints given how much Farrakhan/the NOI have done for hip hop especially in the 90’s when the genre coulda ended after the east coast west coast bullshit

Who are y’all to tell black people who to follow or to listen to lol

frankly i don't care if Farrakhan was the man who invented rap music himself. f*** him. i would still criticize his teachings if they were branded under "Farrakhanism" or some s*** but speaking as a muslim, this idiot had the gall to continue the perversion of the religion of Islam started by Wallace D. Fard (who wasn't even a black man, mind you) and lead so many potential brothers and sister astray. at the end of the day, niggas have their right to follow his idiotic teachings just as much as i have a right to criticize him.

Judging by your n word use I’m gonna assume you black and if so I’m not really talking to you with my comments.

Even tho that makes your stance kinda worse my boy lol

iulia verdes

Hell no

lol bruh not every jew is complicit in that stupid religious s***

is every muslim a homophobe?

Afrika Bambataa molested kids and he basically founded hiphop lol

the love of the art/culture is not intrinsically tied with people who created it unless your support directly benefits their lives and economic situation

someone saying they like kendrick lamar should not mean they’re a supporter of someone like those two

it’s not even an issue regarding black culture but any culture. Does someone’s love of metal mean they support Nazis like GG Alilin? F*** no, and they shouldn’t have to

There’s a huge gap between anything Farrakhan has said and f***in Nazis cmon lol

lol nazis are not the threshold for hate at all. If anything they’re the absolute extreme of the spectrum

any kind of weird prejudiced rhetoric must be done away with and Farrakhan’s own teachings are things that HAVE to be left to the past because of just how he painted Jews as satanic peoples or calling them insects

Yes he was right in the fact that Jews undermined black people in america and propagated things that pushed black inferiority in the Antebellum period, but tolerating the hate speech that Farrakhan supplemented those historical facts with is totally disingenuous and it does nothing to advance the end of racism and race in general in our world

Things have to be mended, “revenge” has to be a concept that must be done away with when we talk about accountability/justice and recovery, and people must understand that hurting the next man will do nothing to satisfy the pain your people felt in their own history. It’s simply a transfer of pain
