A Decade Later, Marchers Look for More
Washington Post ^ | October 16, 2005 | Robert E. Pierre and Hamil R. Harris

This time, a decade later, the people came not just to make a statement, but to look for a little inspiration and guidance.

Aquil Malik brought a handful of teenagers from Newark, N.J., where he is trying to keep them from descending into the life of violence that landed him in prison for robbery and murder. "I came here to see what other groups are doing," said Malik, a car salesman who finished serving his term right after the Million Man March in 1995. "I need to take something back home."

"We charge America with criminal neglect," said Farrakhan, adding that lawyers need to look into filing a "class action suit on behalf of those who have suffered." He also said that as the Iraqi people went to the polls to vote on a new constitution, there should be "regime change" in the United States for lying about the reason for going to war.

Earlier in the day, Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, accused President Bush of "drowning the people of New Orleans and sabotaging the levees" and said that "the real gangsters operate out of CIA headquarters." His comments drew rousing applause.

I confess I wasted way too much time gaping at that mess. I happen to be fascinated by crazy people.

More gimme mentality. If they want to remain on the Liberal Plantation, that's their business. But leave the rest of us out of it.

Farrakhan is a liar whipping up anxiety among lunatics.

Me too. I was there! I happened to be in DC, attending a funeral at Arlington. Next day my wife and I went to the museums, and there it was, in all its glory. I took some pictures. I couldn't believe how pathetic it all was. I couldn't believe they were all talking about a hurricane. total insanity.

One highlight the the article did not mention is when some fool of a rapper was rapping along with a recording of his own garbage.

They pulled the plug when they realized that they had cued the "dirty version."

Actually the whole day was the dirty version.

A day of lies and distortions. With each of the participants competing with all the others to come up with the Biggest Lie Possible. The Bigger the Lie, the better it plays with this crowd of mental defectives.

"We charge America with criminal neglect," said Farrakhan

I could use a little of that neglect on April 15th. Year 'round would be better, but I'd settle for being neglected that one day.

Take an African or Muslim name and go to Washington and make a damned fool of yourself.

Farrakhan is inciting treason and he will get away with it because he is black. He should have been arrested and dragged off the mall in handcuffs.We are at war and we have to cater to traitors.

Says that an unnamed source called the crowd 100,000 - althought Metro ridership was up only about 30,000.

Its funny how the Left keeps having their message drowned out by a more news-worthy event. Let 'em shout louder.

That exact thought crossed my mind; and I cut out before LF took the stage.

Right. The million-man march. 5% of a million. If they're lucky.

Malkin takes a good look at these weirdo's, and provides context information that the MSM leaves out of its "reporting"

Yes, President Bush drew up the plans to expel blacks from New Orleans after the election last year to make Louisiana more of a Red State. No wonder they're concerned to the point of utter vexation. And this is a man they regard as a retard.

Give more rope. I doubt they changed one mind and they are joined at the hip with the democrat party.

They're all yours, Hillary!
