Farrakhan kind of invites Black Gays to his rally

In an attempt to mainstream himself, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the hate-spewing Nation of Islam, has sent a letter asking the National Black Justice Coalition to be one of 100 co-coveners of the October 15th Millions More Movement rally. Farrakhan and his cult, Nation of Islam, is an equal opportunity racist organization, although has a special hatred for Jews. Whenever Farrakhan is accused of being anti-semitic, he denies it by using an old racist trick: he can't being anti-Semitic because he loves the semite (arab) speaking people of the middle east, and since the Jews are not semites he's not "anti-Semitic." He does not deny being an anti-Zionist, which is the European code word for "hates Jews" and he does not deny hating 'Neo-Cons,' which is the American politically correct code word for hating Jews.

Despite all this, mainstream Blacks desire to stand next to him at these rallies. What a disgrace.

The last minute invitation follows activist outrage after a controversial, July 3rd sermon by the Rev. Willie Wilson, the Farrakhan handpicked executive director of the Millions More event. Rev. Wilson, pastor of Union Temple, a prominent DC Baptist congregation and considered one of the city's most politically influential ministers. At the July 3rd sermon Wilson accused lesbians of attempting to “take over” the black family and other disparaging remarks about sexual acts among gays.

In response, Farrakhan sent out an invitation that stated: "The Millions More Movement is for all of us and is aimed at creating a tent big enough for all of us to come together," but he did not include the words gay or lesbian and did not invite the group to speak at the rally.

The Black Gay rights group quickly accepted the cold invitiation and then announced "“While I would not count this as a victory, it is not a defeat,” ..."This is an historic act." it's another step toward gaining inclusion... however, being a co-convener is almost like being on a laundry list...It'’s easy for them to say this is important, but it doesn'’t get us into the inner sanctum.".”

The inner sanctum? Hopefully the Natl Black Coalition will not share their member list with Farrakhan. Doing that would be like pre-WWII Jews signing up as a Jew for Hitler, and we all know what happened to them.
