I'll add that some of the guys who sell the Final Call papers are very nice, and are into the Nation because Jesse Lee Peterson is right. Many storefront black churches are filled with emasculating women pastors who hate men. I'll bet AR Bernard would have a lot to say about this since he was a former NOI member.
In Dallas, I knew several followers of Wallace Deen, son of Elijah Muhammad (who broke away from Farrakhan), and even accepted an award from some of WD's followers on behalf of the police department. Their term for Farrakhan was "Farra-con."
In Illinois and Michigan, I've once met several followers of Farrakhan in social settings. I have no use for Farrakan, but the NOI today is markedly different from what I remember of Elijah Muhammad's followers in the 1970's (they were markedly more race-centric then than they are now).
