Mentioning the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan in my essays?

Sigh. I guess I won’t do it. It’s too risky.

But you shouldn’t be frightened. Not a single member of the Nation of Islam (and I’ve met thousands of NOI members) wants to harm Jewish people.

They just want more control over black communities and business, and their perception (THEIR PERCEPTION, I’m not saying this is or isn’t the case) is that members of the Jewish community have disproportianate control over many black organizations and businesses and entertainers. One common example I hear is of the managers and accountants of black rappers.

It’s more of a “we need to control our own”, than “we need to hurt Jews” mentality. They’re not thinking about hurting you, they’re thinking about helping themselves. Seriously, don’t worry. Nobody wants to hurt you.

I don’t want to get too much into that, because this thread will get closed, but you can message me if you want.

Anyway, I like the NOI, but I won’t write about it in the essay.
