Hypocritical Racists In Charge

-
Here's a good column by the venerable Stanley Crouch. In it, he takes the racist anti-American Louis Farrakhan and his "movement" to task.

[[ Louis Farrakhan proved again Saturday in Washington that there is nothing particularly original or insightful about him.

Since Muhammad's death, Farrakhan has taken on the mantle of the leader destined to awaken the sleeping giant of black consciousness. Along the way, he has come off as an anti-Semite, maintained the basic racism taught to him by Muhammad and has threatened reporters with death.

The question of whether Farrakhan has sold out is easily raised by his alliance with rappers, the vast majority of whom create material that is diametrically opposed to the Nation of Islam's morality. But many suspect that entrepreneur Russell Simmons, the "godfather of hip hop," is a strong financial supporter of the Nation of Islam. Perhaps that explains why Simmons can support and promote cultural monstrosities such as 50 Cent and be sure he will hear nothing derisive from Farrakhan. ]]

Hypocrisy, you say? Bah! The left have no use for words like that. It is merely politically expedient to go to bed with anyone who will further your ultimate goals.

A "Leader" Only By Default
