i'm actually not familiar with what rhianna does; and i do agree with the fact that there's too much of people in popular culture running around exposing themselves and not taking the sacred nature of relationships seriously.
HOWEVER! i find it QUITE interesting that i have not seen one conversation about the minister in relation to the CULT OF SCIENTOLOGY, which actually IS satanic. the fact that farrakhan is propping up l. ron hubbard is, frankly, disturbing. hubbard is NOT a man of GOD. hubbard is a man who followed aleister crowley and with some assistance, created a fake 'religion'.
the minister is leading millions of people into a very dark path with this one. they are taking this dianetics book seriously. you have GOT to be kidding me.
i happen to know people who are ex-scientologists, as well as people who have family who are... and they hold people hostage and abuse them. there are people i know who ran away and were never allowed to speak to their families and communities ever again. you cannot lead people down this path.

RiRi do got a point tho. Watching her many performances then calling her filthy and her fans swine is like finishing the whole bucket of chicken then claiming it wasn't cooked right and the cook need firing. The Minister is not on twitter. He said it during 1 of his speeches. | |

Why do people always want to judge other people?
btw, if he said that the way she performs, she attracts the lowest form of people, than he's surely attacking her. He's attacking her on her performance! What's next...if you dress that way, you ask for it? | |

Louis Farrakhan says Moammar Gadhafi has always been a friend By KiM JANSSEN Staff Reporter/kjanssen@suntimes.com Feb 28, 2011 07:27AM
Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, delivers the Saviour's Day address on Feburary 27, 2011 at the Allstate areana in Rosemont Il. l Keith Hale~Sun-Times Article ExtrasNation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan says Moammar Gadhafi has always been a friend and he won’t distance himself from the Libyan dictator.
Speaking Sunday at the annual Saviours’ Day convention at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Farrakhan didn’t discuss specifics about the deadly uprisings in Libya.
But the 77-year-old said no leader has been loved by 100 percent of his people and said that if Gadhafi is persecuted for crimes against humanity, the same should apply to former President George W. Bush for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Farrakhan visited Gadhafi in the 1980s and in 1996 accepted a humanitarian award from him. But during his speech Sunday he warned the wave of revolution spreading across the Middle East is coming to the United States.
Speaking to followers who all but filled the 18,000-seat venue, he said, “What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Yemen, in Jordan, in Libya, in Bahrain will soon, very soon be in all the nations of the world . . . and even sooner take place in America.
“What you see happening there, you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door, America.”
And Farrakhan added, “I hope that President Obama will remember his instructions to all nations — be careful how you attack and kill innocent people who are protesting. Take your own words into your bosom and be reminded when it comes to your home.”
Followers rewarded him with several raucous standing ovations during the four-hour speech. “Don’t leave until I close — that might be a year from now,” he joked with listeners at one point. “Teach on!” his followers urged him.
Farrakhan also said he had spent time at the Church of Scientology’s celebrity center in Los Angeles and had been impressed with the church’s method of “auditing” — a process he said was comparable to therapy.
He said the church’s founder L. Ron Hubbard had a mission to “civilize white people,” adding that Hubbard “is so exceedingly valuable to every white person on this earth.”
Scientology books were available for sale at the Savior’s Day event, but Farrakhan said he was not converting and did not need a new religion.
His speech also covered familiar topics from previous Savior’s Day events, including a focus on the common beliefs of Christians and Muslims who he said “should not be at war with one another,” how the Nation of Islam believes that white people were created from blacks 4,000 years ago on an Aegean island by a black scientist, and on problems affecting the black community, including street gangs.
He also criticized the sexually charged performances of popstar Rihanna, saying they were “filthy” and that people who enjoyed such antics were “swine,” a description he also applied to homosexuals and lesbians. He also criticized immigrant Muslims in the Chicago area for moving to white suburbs and being patronizing toward black Muslims.
During Black History Month, schools should teach from Nation of Islam books that say Jewish people took advantage of blacks, he said. An Anti-Defamation League spokesman said Farrakhan’s comments were “just the usual hate speech and propoganda.”
He warned that non-believers and the sinful would face the wrath of God through high-technology UFOs or “wheels” that he has often described in previous addresses.

Thank you. Putthing Rihanna & Farrakhan in the same sentence is just bizarre. But, I don't see anything wrong with her response thus far, either. I think some just have a problem because it's coming from Rihanna. She doesn't reply to all her critics. She let her PR folks respond to Donald Trump and said nothing about Joan Rivers, focusing on Ciara instead.....So she's not that crazy.
As for Farrakhan's reported comments, the swine comment is actually how I've always seen HIM. I have no respect or love for him whatsoever and I never fcking did. He makes MY skin crawl, OK? I'm surprised he even knows who Rihanna is or would single her out in a sea of many. Is she that big now? Someone tweeted that he posed with Supahead not that long ago. I thought I saw a pic of the two together as well...well alrighty then.
I don't mind Rihanna speaking her mind, but I do think it would be wiser to use twitter to put the focus on her work. She asked people what her next single should be the other day and her song titles took over the trending topics on twitter, "California King Bed" in particular. (Adam Lambert tweeted "Man Down" which IMO, is one of the best songs she's done). Now that was a good use of twitter.
Slightly Off-topic: Rihanna isn't doing anything that others haven't already done before. But, now that I think about it, I will say, out of the mainstream female artists, the most lyrically provocative songs in recent years seem to have come from her: "Russian Roulette," "Rude Boy," "Love the Way You Lie" and now "S&M" ("What's My Name" is sexual but in a flirty way, IMO). "Disturbia" might fit in this list as well. Just an observation.....So yeah, I think maybe "California King Bed" would be a fresh look from her right about now.

Good, I am glad that we can agree - it's a chump move to call out a young and vulnerable woman over a tough intense man like Lil' Wayne, or Em, or... This particular behavior from Minister Farrakhan is really reminiscent of Chris Brown's degradation of women - no more, no less. It may not be physical behavior but it certainly was an attempt to control her conduct that was innappropriate given the totality of this world. Actually, his behavior is far more innappropiate than Chris Brown's in that M. Farrakhan is a grown man who is alleged to live a spiritual life.

And Farrakhan added, “I hope that President Obama will remember his instructions to all nations — be careful how you attack and kill innocent people who are protesting young women. Take your own words into your bosom and be reminded when it comes to your home.”

Once again, this is not a Farrakhan vs Rihanna conversation, he wasn't attacking her or her so-called fans but some of you dummies are constantly falling for the same old tricks by the media and the 10%.
I'll say it again, he wasn't attacking Rihanna or her little fans, he was attacking a sex-driven society and how if Rihanna (she was just an example, it could be anybody, Jane Doe) choose to exploit herself sexually, she's going to attract the lowest form of people.
I saw the lecture, and it reminded me of a grandfather trying to tell his granddaughter to stop acting like that, it was out of love and concern, and yes, he's done the same thing with rappers for years. But like I said before, this really isn't about Farrakhan but people are blowing it up to make it about Farrakhan and Nation of Islam. And I'm starting not the blame Rihanna either, she doesn't know any better, it's the instigators that need to be attacked and who are they?
You posted this article above from the Sun Times/AP, for what? Are you trying to show how crazy and out of touch Farrakhan is and how smart and intelligent Rihanna really is, and she's an innocence victim?
If you don't agree with what Farrakhan said about scientology and UFOs, then do what Farrakhan often says "You can take it or leave it alone." So leave it alone.
I don't believe in no UFOs and I damn sure not studying dianetics, but he was one point about if Gadhafi is being persecuted for crimes against humanity, the same charges should be against Former President Bush, but you didn't highlight that.
The more I study about the illuminati (10%) and the media, the more it's making more and more sense.

To show the entire article from the Sun-Times/AP. I wanted people to see the entire article for themselves. Versus commenting on sound bites. My hightlights were simply me expressing what I found funny.

Judging from his own statements Brother Minister Farrakhan doesn't need any help with showing how crazy he is. I have no idea how smart Rihanna is or if she's even smart at all. | |

It might have been a good idea to use Jane Doe in his speaking rather than Rihanna. I agree there is a strong likelyhood that he was offering a somewhat Paternal insight about a "sex-driven" society. I think he didn't do a great job of that, however. | |

Yeah, but doesn't Louis' wife or girlfriend shake/show her ass and show her cooch? I guess this behavior is classy in the bedroom, but if someone alludes to this behavior through their stage shows it's a sin. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist...and I'm sensitive about my shit."--E. Badu | |

No, because like I said a dozen times, Farrakhan didn't attack Rihanna, and you didn't highlight that one mention about Rihanna, you tried to be slick by highlighting all of the "crazy" things Farrakhan said at his lecture that had nothing to do with Rihanna trying to mock him.

What the hell are you talking about? If you're talking about Jamillah Farrakhan, that's his granddaughter, and I'm sure he's talked to her also, but once again for the millionth time, he wasn't attacking or criticizing her.
He can't control what these young girls are going to do, the ones who listen will listen, and the ones who don't will do whatever they want to do.

Rihanna became her own example with her performances at the Grammys and the All-Star Game. It wouldn't have matter if it he used Nicki Minaj, they were going to blow it up into something else as if he's attacking a poor innocent girl and her adoring fans, and dumb ass Rihanna fell for it. | |

Please do your best to stop splitting that damn hair. Whatever he was doing with Rihanna in his speech, he was wrong. And that's ok, it's not as if he is a exceedingly valuable is an infalliable space creature sent to save the world from destruction. Minister Farrakhan, he might as well revere Charles Manson over L. Ron Hubbard to be honest about it.
