Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[cripplecreek]

I tend to hold the same opinion of Farrakhan as Jessie Peterson.

[Joe Hadenuf]

So when does the slave tax kick in?

[day10]

Minnie Bester, who also described herself as a Christian, called Farrakhan a brilliant and inspirational man who has been unfairly labeled as divisive.
"There's only one God," she said. "We all have to come together."

What planet does she live on?

"Farrakhan stirs crowd in talk via satellite"

Well I'm glad he's finally off of THIS planet.

I wonder what Malcolm X would say about Calypso Louie if he were still alive?

[cripplecreek]

Does Minnie Bester realize that Farrakhan intends to throw her god in the trash where he belongs according Farrakhan?

I never owned any slaves and most of my ancestors came from Scandinavia after the Civil War. I owe nothing to anyone.

I suppose Louis pointed out that the founder of this quasi-religious science fiction cult was a half-white New Zealander, Wallace Fard, who probably had many pints of English blood in his veins.

Farrakhan is a CIA spy. He only says outrageous things to provide a cover for his espionage.

[Brett66]

His comments about Jesus were a surprise, I thought he would say the cracker deserved everything he got.

[reagan_fanatic]

Louis Farrakhan is obviously the proud recipient of a botched lobotomy.

I've never owned a slave in my entire life, and don't intend to start.

If you want to tax someone who's responsible, Farrakhan, then tax my ancestors.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Slaves were ripped from Africa and stuck for months at a time in the bowels of ships filled with diseases like dysentery and smallpox, he said.

Not by me Louis, or anyone I know. Nor by any of my relatives or ancestors as far back as you'd care to look.

In America, slave babies were taken from their mothers and sold to the highest bidder; slaves were branded like cattle, said Farrakhan.

Not by me Louis, or anyone I know. Nor by any of my relatives or ancestors as far back as you'd care to look.

Some were burned alive, others tortured with floggings followed by a dose of salt or turpentine in the wounds, he said.

Not by me Louis, or anyone I know. Nor by any of my relatives or ancestors as far back as you'd care to look.

Reparations? I really don't think so.

[jungleboy]

What's Louie doin' in a Baptist Church?

[Free ThinkerNY]

Farrakhan, who has been accused by Jewish groups of fomenting anti-Semitism, rejected the charge, saying he "was not now, nor have I ever been, a hater of the Jewish people."

I once attended a Farrakhan live performance at a Newark NJ auditorium. Everyone there was a devoted follower. I was the only white person there. I was there with my black partner to try to get an interview with Farrakhan for our cable TV series. At one point during his long, boring speech, he said,"I am not an enemy of the Jews. But they have chosen to make me their enemy. And, my brothers and sisters, if one of my enemies (meaning the Jews), should happen to assassinate me, I know what you would do." Sitting behind me was a Fruit of Islam security guard. He said out loud in a voice that seethed with violence and hate, "We'll kill them all! We'll burn down their Synagogues! Burn em' ALL down!" I sat there shocked and horrified at what he said. I looked at Farrakhan on the stage. A terrible realization came to me. This is what it was like to be at a Nazi rally in Germany, with Hitler speaking about Jews. His followers must have said the same things that I heard the Fruit of Islam guard say. Farrakhan is no joke. He is part of a Radical Muslim army that is growing within this country and throughout Europe. They mean to destroy us. They will if we let them.

[GeronL]

Why would a Baptist Church do that?? I just don't get how a 'Nation of Islam' speaker would get support in a BAPTIST church!

[GeronL]

He would say that if it weren;t a Baptist audience I suppose.

I never finished my story about a black nationalist-nutjob (Like Louie!!) taking over Atlanta (no reason I chose that city in particular)... it will hopefully never happen.
