In our hyper-sensitive America of today, there are few questions only a black Democrat can ask without being chewed to pieces. And this is one of such questions.
One thing that has not been discussed in all the circumstances surrounding the death of Michael Jackson was the role the Nation of Islam played. Many have gone as far as extrapolating that the pop star was murdered but few have asked one of the obvious questions thumping its nose at us.
From news report emerging from Los Angeles, the Nation of Islam had surrounded Michael Jackson since the dawn of the 2003 child molestation allegation. Leonard Muhammad, Farrakhan’s son-in-law came in as Michael Jackson’s adviser at that time. By the time the 2005 trial started, the Nation of Islam had taken over much of the pop star’s security details. Members of the Nation of Islam were in his house when he died.
Despite several instances of Michael Jackson clearing house, he did not eliminate the members of the Nation of Islam. It was even alleged that the house where he died belonged to a member of the Nation of Islam. He was even rumored to have converted to Islam at one point.
Of course, these stories were roundly denied by the Nation of Islam and the Michael Jackson’s camp. Both camps insisted there was no professional relationship. It was a very strategic position to take because such a relationship would not benefit either camp. Michael Jackson, for all his talents, was no Muhammad Ali.
If not for nothing, the members of the Nation of Islam around the King of Pop were aware of his dependence on drugs. Or were they not? They knew who was coming in and who was going out. They knew who was delivering the drugs.
Could the Nation of Islam be negligent in their duties? Could they have ignored the tenets of Islam just to collect the money Jackson was paying for their security services? What role did the Nation of Islam play in the picking of the medical doctors who provided drugs to Michael Jackson? What role did the Nation of Islam play in the employment and appraisal of some shady characters around Michael Jackson, like the fake doctor Thome Thome from Lebanon?
Did the Nation of Islam drop the ball when it mattered most? How did the Jackson family get cut off from Michael? Did the Nation of Islam enabled that or did they look away? Why did the Jackson family run to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when all was lost? Where is Louis Farrakhan?
Will the Nation of Islam ever account for the role it played or did not play in the demise of Michael Jackson? The investigators looking at Michael Jackson’s doctors, managers, accountants and even bodyguards whose names Jackson used to obtain drugs may never ask the question. But all the constituency of Michael Jackson must. Not only is it proper, it is necessary if we must extricate the Nation of Islam from any appearance of impropriety.
When it shows up on E-Bay we will nose who tookit!
That's quite a schnoz!
I’ve wondered some of the ties also.
But on a lighter note

Was the Nation of Islam a Witness or an Accomplice to Murder in Michael Jackson’s Death? Both, I hope. And I wouldn’t mind terribly if Jackson turned out to be an unkillable zombie who rose to be rekilled again and again, either.
We’ll know if the Nation of Islam was involved when we discover the amount of their “take!”
Farrakhan sees ‘conspiracy’ in Jacko’s death
MISTAKE, NOT MURDER | Blaming ‘Zionist leaders’ hit as bigotry
July 27, 2009
BY SANDRA GUY sguy@suntimes.com
Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday he was asked by a lawyer to counsel Michael Jackson seven days before the entertainer’s death. But Farrakhan took a scheduled trip to Africa and wasn’t able to speak to him.
Addressing 2,000 followers at Mosque Maryam, the Nation of Islam headquarters on the South Side, Farrakhan described Jackson as a “messianic voice” and an “archangel of sound, song and dance,” as he called Jackson a victim of “Zionist leaders,” the U.S. government and the media.
But Jay Tcath, senior vice president of the Jewish United Fund said: “What is surprising and disappointing is how many Americans rationalize and minimize [Farrakhan’s] continuing anti-Semitism.
“Farrakhan has continued to enjoy a respectability and mainstream acceptance that no one else with a 25-plus-year track record of bigotry could ever enjoy . . . he just shows himself to be an unrepentant hater. Blaming Jews by invoking the euphemism of ‘Zionists’ is a traditional theme of Minister Farrakhan’s whenever he wants to blame something on somebody else.”
Citing it as part of a conspiracy to undermine Jackson, Farrakhan said the lawyer told him Jackson had agreed to do 10 concerts but had been booked for 50, and there was concern Jackson would get sued if he couldn’t uphold the agreement.
Farrakhan, 76, also cited the molestation accusation of which Jackson was acquitted as another example of efforts to undermine his success.
During the wide-ranging, 2½-hour speech, Farrakhan said he does not believe Jackson was killed intentionally. Instead, he believes Jackson’s death was the result of a mistake by Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, who is a target of a manslaughter investigation.
Jackson was much more than an entertainer or a “song and dance man” because he and his songs spoke to all races, ethnicities, cultures, generations and across all other barriers, he said.
Farrakhan said he enjoyed spending time with Jackson, and counseled Jackson not to be angry with his father.
In speaking of Jackson finding his roots in the black community, Farrakhan said President Obama did the same when he said police “acted stupidly” in arresting Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. Obama later said that he had used a poor choice of words.
