Who is Louis Farrakhan?

[Ga_Gamecock]

(i know who he is, in general)

How did he 'come to power'?

How did he get to where he is today?

FWIW, I really dont see how he (or groups that share that same theme of hate) have the following that they do ...

Farrakhan is the leader of the radical group, Nation of Islam. It won't be hard to find information on them.

i have seen a few shows on Hist channel about Nat of Islam... the nation of islam falls far from the tree in terms of what the basic teachings of islam really are (same for the fanatics)... i was just curious how they came to be and how he of all ppl came to lead them.

have you ever heard one of his speeches? have you read any blurbs about the white folk?

[bertoholic]

Well the original Nation of Islam was dismantled, and he and some supporters decided to rebuild the NoI.

He is a black leader who preaches hate and racism behind the curtain of religion.
