Nation of Islam leader the Rev. Louis Farrakhan is encouraging women and gay men to participate in the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March.

“The makeup will be our people, whoever we are – male, female, gay, straight, White, dark rich, poor, ignorant, wise,” said Farrakhan Saturday during the sixth annual State of the Black Union symposium in Georgia.

Keith Boykin of the National Black Justice Coalition – an organization of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people – was pleased by Farrakhan’s open invitation. “I remember in October 1995, there were about 200 of us Black gay men marching among the million in D.C. We were not necessarily welcomed, but we gathered courage and marched anyway, and we were respected by those who saw us participate.

“For Minister Farrakhan to welcome us this time shows tremendous growth in understanding and respect for us,” Boykin said in a statement.

The annual symposium, organized by Tavis Smiley, included Black leaders from the Nation of Islam, Bishop Harry Jackson’s High Impact Leadership Coalition, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and other groups. Black solidarity, healthcare and the development of an African-American contract were all main focuses of the event. The panel mentioned the 10-year anniversary of the Million Man March, Oct. 14-16, in discussions of how the Black community can help itself.

Time for Rush to play the Farrakhan Million Man Math parody again.

[Spktyr]

Hm... wouldn't that make this the Million Misfit March? Bet he only gets a few thousand at best, thus illustrating the tenets of Liberal Math.

That snake (Calypso Louis) is still moving about freely in America??

[EternalVigilance]

This is all based on the mystical power of the number nineteen, of course...

Wonder if the homosexuals know what the Muslim fellow travelers of Farakhan would do to them if they ever got real power?

NO JOOOOS or CATHOLICS, tho!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha! Calypso Louie has to suck up to homos in an effort to get a bigger showing at his pathetic "Million" Man March. I doubt that there will be any room for his new pals when Mothership X comes for Louie and his crowd of screwball Black Muslim fanatics.

Back in the 90's, a kid I knew in college went to a Farrakhan speech/hate rally.

In between his blistering attacks on jews and whites, he also strongly advocated violence against gays and lesbians.

His invitation is a surprise, but the NOI has a pretty clear record of out and out hate against homosexuals, one of the things that caught the college kids eyes was that Farrakhan in the same speech took shots at martin luther king and the concept of integration along with shots at jesse jackson.

These homosexuals would be wise to be on guard with Farrakhan, he'll turn on them faster then a bullet if given the chance, and his hatred of them has no bounds, and he only uses people so he can push his agenda

He will fit in with the DemoRats good plenty of "Hate". But why do I think he is just trying to swell his numbers for a day and maybe collect some of that DUmmie money.

LOL! Do you actually think Louie is straight?

Louie is as gay as they come (pardon the expression).

These clowns think women are house maids.

“The makeup will be our people, whoever we are – male, female, gay, straight, White, dark, rich, poor, ignorant, wise,” said Farrakhan

To follow Farrakhan -- I'm betting MOST are ignorant, in addition to whatever else they may be.

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

"I hasten to tell you that the precious lives that were lost in the World Trade Center was a cover, a cover for a war that had been planned to bring a pipeline through Afghanistan to bring oil from that region, oil owned by Unical of which Dick Cheney is a stock holder."
-Louis Farrakhan, 2/23/03

"They call them [Hezbollah] terrorists, I call them freedom fighters...No one asks why they would do such a thing. Why would they do such a thing? What has driven them to this point? That's what the UN, the U.S. and Europe doesn't want to deal with because the Zionists have control in England, in Europe, in the United States and around the world."

Isn't it time for Monster Farrakhan to just go away? This hate-filled freak is even ignored by the MSM. I don't think his latest antic deserves a thread on FR.

[Fast1]

must be having problems with the attendance ! Poor ole homemade Muslim..

[claudiustg]

According to the Nation of Islam whites are devils and homosexuals are, if not the lowest form of evil-doers, close contenders.

I've joked about Louie a long time. I mean, think about it: He's a middle-aged guy, sharply dressed, designer glasses, always surrounded by muscular young men who dress just like he does, allegedly has a wife, but you rarely ever see her, much less with him...that seems just the slightest bit odd, doesn't it?

[conshack]

I guess he's trying to reinforce that Islam is the religion of peace.......

Bingo.

If Louie was Jewish he's be on Broadway.

The idiot has to find numbers somewhere, more and more people are not buying the BS he is selling.

[Bogolyubski]

So the Ayatollah Farrakhan is even inviting the demons that came about as a reult of the great black scientist Yakub's failed experiment 5000 years ago (known in most places as white people) to his little celebration? How about the members of the "gutter religion" (Judaism)? Are the "bloodsuckers" invited, too?
