Violent protest is inevitable in the free world. Once it happens everyone appropriates the event to promote their ideology, whether they think rioters are patriots or terrorist. In fact violent protest is nothing more than a check of Democracy. In my lifetime violent protesters where killed by our military and local police forces. It is satisfying to me just to know that our Democracy is stronger as it has so far passed this test of it in various corners of the United States....power to the people!
Just listened to a greater portion of the speech. It's very controversial. Farrakhan is something else, but the NOI does have some positive effects on African-Americans, especially the young men. It seems that a number of them move to mainstream Islam eventually.
It's easy to write him off as a loon..but doesn't anybody think it's kind of scary that he attracted a rather large audience and had them clapping and giving a standing ovation?
In the video, I didn't see too many empty seats at the end and there seemed to be a lot of agreement with what he was saying by the audience.

He is not a loon. He is trying to encourage lone wolf and mob attacks with his statements. As such he should be dealt with accordingly.
fighting for the end of racism by literally promoting violence against whites is a just cause?..
Did you check out the video and see how many of the attendees where clapping and the standing ovation they gave him? Especially scary was when he recommending 'teaching your kids how to throw a bottle' ..as in molotov cocktail and the claps he got for that.
Just imagine for a second that there was a college with white man suggesting the same thing and a pretty much all white audience clapping, applauding ,etc??
It would be the top story on the news about how this "Racist white college, had a racist speaker" and what needs to be done to fix all these racist white colleges and that it's an outrage.
Instead stuff like this flies under the radar.
I'm scared to wonder what other 'speakers' they have at this school.
His views didn't seem very controversial with the reaction to the audience.
Here is a pretty detailed description of the event , there were 2000 people there in the audience and it shows closeups of the people in attendance clapping and smiling and applauding the words of this "Reverand" and his very racist message.
