^of course I was being figurative---she has just cause, it blinded her to let her get caught up in that assissination plot/attempt. Did she do time?
I think Farrakhan says a lot of things tongue in cheek, to elicit a response, to play up certain aspects of his "persona". Again, he serves a purpose, many times it's to divert attention. He's been at this game a very long time, far longer than many so called "hate mongers". He has been very critical on how Obama handled the Libya situation. Probably is fiercest critic by far, now could this because Ghaddafi gave the NOI a 5 million dollar loan for a building, to which the NOI paid back in kind? Or did he see the Libya situation as the US overstepping it's bounds?
And yes, I agree with you on how Spike didn't touch on this in the movie.
Also, there was this documentary done on Malcolm X on PBS, there was this guy who was part of NOI and knew Malcolm, but as soon as Malcolm back away from "blame whitey", he had disdain for Malcolm
I believe even in the interview he said Malcolm got what he deserved...
He was just filled up with hate, distrust, and anger---if anything it showed me, just what hatred can do, it can eat away you, and make your life miserable....he exuded it, from face, his atitude, his mannerisms, just a hateful, spiteful man.
