Million More March Coupla Hunnert Wander About

After the event, some experts will be invited to craft public policy guidelines and collaborate on a book tentatively titled “The Black Agenda,” which will serve as a “roadmap for black Americans to address the problems in their communities,” said Linda Boyd, a march spokeswoman.

I’m gonna be reeeeal optimistic and not pre-name this “The Big Book o’ Gimmie.”

"We have been taught how to serve others, but we have never been trained how to serve one another,” Farrakhan, who also put together the original march, said Friday. “I’m hoping that this Millions More Movement will make the learned of us a servant of the unlearned."

In that case, you’re gonna be chin-deep in ‘servants,’ Mister I-slam.

Officials with the National Black Justice Coalition, a gay civil rights group, said Farrakhan invited their president, Keith Boykin, to speak a move that came after months of appeals for the inclusion of an openly gay person.

Boykin was planning to talk about hostility toward homosexuals in the black community, said Ray Daniels, communications director for the group. “It’s a groundbreaking statement and very forward thinking.  It’s the sort of thinking that will help heal our community."

*can’t stop giggling*

Izzat Eubonix^©?  “wasn’t not on the schedule...”

1. Claire,
   Does anyone think Farrakhan is any different than the mullahs in Iran?  If he had his way, he would hang homosexuals from telephone poles.
