The “Farrakhan Solution” is how to deal with this individual who has said some of the most despicable Anti-Semitic & Racist comments of our modern era yet still acknowledge that his organization has done some good works and has a deep following of African American individuals. Let’s face it some of the most evil organizations and individuals have done some good works and even made points that nobody else would say but we still threw them into the trash heap of history. I was personally involved in a protest against this vile Anti-Semite when he spoke at SUNY Albany but that only changed his speech in terms that were Anti-Christian. I don’t believe in censorship point blank unless that speech actually results in direct violence so her is my “Farrakhan Solution” (below).
(1) MORE VOICES– Where-ever this vile individual speaks make sure there are alternate voices from various viewpoints that counter ever word he says at locations near his speech.
(2) NEW LEADERS- It is time that those who oppose Farrakhan bring new thoughtful leaders to the African American community with the resources to make the changes that the community truly needs.
(3) COUNTER- Challenge Farrakhan followers to a different way of thinking before and after this individual speaks that speaks of love, tolerance and hope instead of his hate & divide.
(4) ADDRESS- Listen carefully to the “logically concerns” that Farrakhan speaks about and make sure the “new leaders” have strong solutions that can rectify these concerns weather it be inner city crime, drugs, apathy …etc.
