How important is Louis Farrakhan? Well, since he's the head of a hate group, pretty damned important.
I have great respect for Morris Dees, a co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dees' SPLC has listed the Nation of Islam as a hate group.
The Southern Poverty Law Center includes the Nation of Islam as a "Hate Group." See http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp?T=32&m=5 . Also, see the Anti-Defamation League site, http://www.adl.org/main_Nation_of_Islam/default.htm .
Yes, NOI is a hate group ... and Farrakhan can be compared to David Duke, even though one is black and the other is white.
I'll go with the SPLC in this debate.
