I can see that you haven’t studied The Honorable Minister Farrakhan. Go back to the 90′s. When he did the stop the killing tour. Now bring it up to date with the justifiable homicide lecture series. He is the most chartiable man that I have ever known. Needless to say the millions of lives he has touched and transformed by ALLAH’S permission. He is bigger than any black leader you lump him. He is Allah’s Messenger in our mist today.

Note this article was written 4 years ago! Buy anyway Cameron Jackson wrote:

>>>People like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Louis Farrakhan do not have the best interests of the black community..<<<

Now this is just plain ignorant. Sharpton, Jackson and Farrakhan have all done a hell of a lot for their communties and continue to do so and anyone who attempts to play Cosby against them obviously does not have the interests of the black community at heart. Such a person is either simply foolish or desires to fabricate division where there is none.

Back in 2004, Cosby, refering to the Nation of Islam said, he was “jealous” of the fact that Muslims are able to gain support and have a strong influence on sectors of the community where the police and others can’t.

Quoting an article his words were: “I want my Christian family to hit the streets and duplicate what they’ve done,” he said. At a similar forum discussion in Springfield, Mass. in August, Dr. Cosby did more than just praise Muslims when he publicly expressed a desire to meet with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan."

Despite some of the things I disagree with, I love Bill Cosby and I know he wants the best for his people and it's never neccessary or productive for writers like Cameron Jackson or perpetual critics like Ta-Nehisi Coates to veinly attempt tear down others while attempting to better themselves and their community.

I applaud Bill Cosby for his work to try and help improve the condition of the Black community. However, the author of this article is very disingenuous when he states that Minister Louis Farrakhan does not have the Black community in his best interest. He provides no facts to back up his misguided opinions. Even Minister Louis Farrakhan’s critics must bear witness that he is the only leader that has the ability to change the thinking of Black people, thereby changing their condition for the better. Minister Farrakhan has a proven program that SOLVES the problems within the Black community. If Mr. Jackson was sincere in his “concern” for the Black community, he would be writing about the amazing work of the Honorable Louis Farrakhan.

Sure, James. Too bad the Nation of Islam has taught you to hate white people and blame the very country that preserves your right to be an idiot when the real problem is your own culture. “Old Bill” recognizes that. If you don’t want to change for the right reasons, you will just change into something that is different, but equally bad. Black Islam is not the solution. It is its own disease. Rise above the crap that you think is truth and embrace the equality the US Constitution guarantees you and most white people so desperately want to give you if you would only accept the responsibility that goes with it. Rise up and be a man rather than a muslim terrorist waiting for orders. Mohammed was a liar, and Elijah Muhammad was a fraud and a racist. Rise up and be a man.

Old Bill sound a little crazy, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Nation of Islam headed by The Honorable Louis Farrakhan, has always offered a solution. Where has he been for the last 20,30 50, years. Maybe chasing women,I am one who have benefited from the Nation. Who cares where they live, maybe he both the home from the Farrakhan cd’s and DVDS we BOUGHT. Sorry Cosby’s DVDS doesn’t turn me on or make me want to change for the the better, somthing’, we all need to due and stop talking negatively about each other. I guest he wasn’t at the Million Man March, I bet u can pay him to make a movie about it, like the rest of those hypocrites on GET ON THE BUS!
