>He has pushed very hard for black people to be proud of their blackness and to create narratives in which blackness is not looked down upon. This is good, needed work.

(disclaimer : i'm about as anti FB and anti-censorship as one can be.)

Well, he (Farrakhan) mostly just taught blacks to hate whites -- which I guess achieves more 'black pride', but not in any manner that I think is sustainable or responsible. Rather than raising one group up, he just taught that the other group was worse than perceived.

"White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet."

“You are not now, nor have you ever been a citizen of America. You are a slave to white America.”

and my personal favorite, although unrelated to whites in America :

“Qadaffi’s a revolutionary, he’s my friend, he’s my brother. And I would never deny him because you don’t like him… I love him.”
