I've been drinking and I haven't been enjoying the trolls as much. Too much of a good thing makes it stale.
Except alcohol.

I find it interesting that anything other than what the MSM has instructed the sheople to parrot is considered "trolling" on this political talk board.
I guess that's why thought-provoking topics are rarely raised here.

By the way, Malcolm X's daughter tried unsuccessfully to settle the score years later, but her plan was foiled by the FBI.
That quote by Farrakhan is honest ,but a long way from the nonsense spewed about him 'putting out a hit on Malcolm X'.
I find the statement & outreach /defense of Malcolm 's daughter to be admirable on Farrakhan part. He wasn't the only person spewing rhetoric against the 'traitor(in their minds) Malcolm X.
Muhammad Ali was heavyweight champion of the world who publicly stated that people like Malcolm X 'deserved to die' just before he was assassinated:
"They(Malcolm X & his few NOI defectors) think everyone's out to kill them because they know they deserve to be killed for what they did."- Muhammad Ali on Malcolm X.
Farrakhan probably said inflammatory things as well , but no one has ever accused him (beside a distraught family wanting to blame someone) directly putting a hit out on Malcolm.
You can say the Heavyweight champion of the world was just as implicit if that's the case. Here Ali boistourously cheers on Elijah Muhammad who blamed Malcolm for his own death at around 1:25 weeks after his assasination.:

Farrakhan 'manned up' & admitted to his part in creating an environment ,but no more.
He also criticized the FBI for setting up Malcolm daughter & publicly mocked their little assassinating intervention on his behalf.
I don't think a man can be more honest & forthcoming by willing to meet face to face on National TV(60 Minutes) & to assist a troubled young lady who tried to kill him & admit his mistakes.

NWS Farrakhan's overt racism...I like his 'man-up' principles. I could see positives if MSNBC would give him a show instead of Sharpton. I'd watch that one...occasionally.

I understand your take, but I'm tougher on Farrakhan than you seem to be because he had a leadership position within the N.O.I., and consequently his ability to incite violence was much greater than some low-level member of the organiztion. It's the same reason I hold many Southern politicians (eg. Barnett, Faubus, Wallace, Maddox, etc.) responsible for many of the lynchings and bombing that occurred during the Civil Rights Movement.
Leaders can also calm down the situation when there's anger in the atmosphere, such as W standing up for Muslim-Americans after 9/11, letting it be known that attacks against them would not be tolerated. More recently, Eric Holder was able to put a lid on a boiling pot in Ferguson, Mussouri before that situation got out of control.

Genro, thanks for sharing. I didn't realize that Farrakhan was still bragging about taking out Malcolm X as recently as 1993. I can't imagine how infuriating it must have been for Malcolm X's family to see Farrakhan still spitting on his grave nearly 30 years after he was assassinated. Hell, I might have tried to hire a hitman too.

Farrakhan
A small group of his followers called the Death Angels committed the Zebra murders in SF during 1973-74 in which 14 people were murdered.
Farrakhan claimed he didn't know what his followers were doing.
Yeah, right.
