I don't have a problem with the piece. It is good information all in one nice package. I should have been more specific about what I liked in the post above. Here is the part I really like:

The most dangerous form of evil is the one that looks good and seems good. Unless you understand that Farrakhan looks good and seems good, you will never be able to sway those that may be foolish enough to fall under his spell.

The poster has a point. To change hearts and minds, you have to strip away the veneer that is alluring to so many. Farrakhan has a penchant for present, past and future evils and he must be revealed.

This point was the one thing I agree with as well.

OTOH it isn't too difficult to figure out the appeal--"It isn't your fault you're poor with few prospects for success in life. Someone did it to you (in this case, the white devil) and they owe you BIG time."

It's the same appeal the Rats in general, the Black Caucus in particular, Jesse Jackson and most black "leaders" offer.

The closest Calypso Louie came to actually trying to improve his followers' status as opposed to excusing it, perpetuating it and exploiting it was the Million Man March where I guess the idea was to commit to responsibility... Or was that the Promise Keepers?

I watched Louie's rambling, schizoid speech to the MMM and admit it's hard to remember much beyond his whacked out numerology gibberish.
