Well...umm no she actually did make herself look less than intelligent responding to his comments in reference to her during his speech on Twitter of all things. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Twitter Schmitter! She rolled the bus up to his door and picked him up for school. And he was not late on the day in question, Rihanna was driving tight and quick, took him straight to homeroom and dropped him off. | |

How was he wrong? Now you have to explain because you're basically implying that he attacked her in some way. I can understand if he called her a whore or a wench or a hussy or told the young people who were at his lecture to not support her or by her music and if you do, you're a swine, but he didn't do that. | |

Nope! I think that you cannot see the forest for the trees on this one. I do not think that a conversation of substance and insight can be had regarding Minister Farrakhan on this occasion. And as a swiney homosexual lesbian I must now bow out this disscussion due to illness - it's making me sick.

I was thinking that too. Which isn't to say I don't think his comments were wrong and in poor taste, but I think the best way to handle him would've been to say nothing and let the rest of the world heckle the shit out of him.

She was ignorant enough to even go on Twitter. None of them should be judging the other. JMHO. [Edited 3/2/11 11:22am] | |

It's what she said, what she said. That's why I said what I said. I should've worded it better. But Twitter's not exactly a place where you can hold your head up at if you're a celebrity. [Edited 3/2/11 11:22am] | |

If Farrakhan thinks Rihanna is filthy and that her fans are swine, what does he think of Chris Brown and his stans? I just find it odd that he called her out when her ex is pretty much doing the same thing i.e. grinding on stage and wearing um colorful clothing. And y'all know CB's vocals are weak as hell. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Are you responding to me with this one? I'm asking because I never said that LF was attacking Rihanna. Nor have I been defending her as if she's been attacked. As mentioned earlier, those boldfaces were simply highlighting what I found funny. Nothing more...nothing less.
You're the one that keep calling the man "crazy," I just find his logic and theories hilarious That's all...
So, to sum up my point of view; My response has very little, actually nothing to do with Rihanna but everything to do with his surprising outlook on life and the world. | |

rhianna know she being a slut so dont get madd when somebody call u out 4 what u r lately all she has been doing is making slut movies and farrakhan has every right 2 speak on it cuz these kids now days think they own the rights 2 being nothing and not answering 2 the call of growing up | |

T 84 - I would like to ask you to re-read her Twitter statement. What she said was really very articulate and on point, and not terribly overwrought or overly involved. Personally, I too wish that she had just let it sit, but she is a young/jung/yung person who was being shamed and humiliated by a man of great bearing, many years her senior. (And a national religous leader, too. It doesn't get much deeper. Come on, are you saying that the Minister could say some stuff about you in that vein and get away with it without comment? I really do think that you would have something to say - "just talk about it.") "She is WAYYYY out of her league having any sort of dialog with Louis." Not really. And this is not a dialog that she started, she just finished it. And if she is "WAYYYY" out of her league why should any MF supporters be upset, he should be able to handle his own business, right? | |

Well not her statement to Farrakhan. Again I should've worded it better. I'm just upset it was Twitter. I actually do agree with her on this regard. | |

I admit it. Twitter weirds me out, too. But, as evidenced by the numbers of people on it, I need to get with today's real, somehow. (But maybe if I wait a bit I can outlast Twitter, avoiding it altogether, catching the next grrreat social network trend.)

Are you kidding? Its an idiotic response. First of all, it seems that she tried to straw man the statement. She completely misrepresented what was said and tried to stir it in another direction. The insincerity alone makes her response incompetent. Its shows that she either A. didn't understand what was said and made up a response based on her lack of comprehension, or B. understood and deliberately tried to misrepresent what he said and turn it into something it wasn't. So she is either a dumb skank or a deceitful, lying skank. Either way, bitch still can't sang. [Edited 3/2/11 12:46pm] | |

If Minister Farrakhan could do that sermon all over again, he should have mention Beyonce, Lady Gaga, AND Miley Cyrus along with Rihanna just to see how many more critics he can piss off with the ugly truth! | |

Alex, you have see some of the insane waste arguments that people (especially teens) have among themselves. It's basically universal high school playground buffoonery. | |

BKnight - what is going on with that? Yes she can't sing, but neither can boatloads of other chicks and dudes with hits, and who act the fool in a sexually charged fashion on a national stage. Why is Rihanna to be put on the cross? Again, why not call out a man with those same qualities out by his name? (For the same reason Eminem calls out Moby, cuz his sorry little ass can do it without getting a beat down??) I really don't care too much about Rihanna one way or another. But your response is rather crazy to me relative to many of your other posts. In the course/context of this dialog I really don't know why (and for some reason I am thinking that you are an adult man) grown adult men feel it is ok/cool/acceptable to be calling a young woman a skank, bitch, etc., etc. And with regard to how you broke down her response and how it should be perceived as idiotic - talk about a lack of sincerity and insight. What I am more often sensing from people on this board in defense of M. Farrakhan is 1% about defending his position, and 99% about jumping on the hate-on-Rihanna bandwagon. She does not have to be a skank, deceitful, a bitch, or any number of shitty descriptors because she challenged a Minister of some note (some would say dubious note). I would prefer to hear people talking 100% smack rather than trying to suggest that she can't step with the Minister, cause she just went on a walkabout.
And what is it to "straw man the statement"? I like the sound of that, could you tell me more?

Sorry Joe. I still stand by my words that Rihanna doesn't want to get into a war of words with Minister Farrakhan. Even if I disliked/hated him myself, I wouldn't want to battle Farrakhan!
I put Minister Farrakhan in the same status as Andrew Dice Clay & Mr. Paul Mooney. These are men that you never want to engage in a war of words with knowing that you will definitely lose in the end. Trust me, I'm telling you what I know. | |

Whatever. You just keep telling yourself that Rihanna has the skills to defeat Farrakhan in a fair debate about politics OR modern pop culture. | |

I thought you believed that Rihanna has connections with the Illuminati
if you truly believe that, then you must accept that Rihanna could easily crush Farrakhan ... | |

Of course Rhianna is not going to call her fans swine. That's like Madonna dissing her gay fans, and it's a plenty. Also, I can see how she flipped the argument by calling him a self righteous hypocrite. Somehow, this is how I am interpreting this. | |

If Rihanna is what is considered a "lady" then its no wonder the rest of the world thinks American women are sluts. Your standards have to be pretty damn low to hail Rihanna as any kind of "lady" with the way she carries herself. She's a pop star and most pop stars slut themselves out these days as a standard practice. They sell their looks just as much as they sell their music if not more so (as in Rihanna's case). I would gladly and just as easily replace Rihanna's name with many other "pop stars" including some men but that won't make her any less guilty of it. I have much more respect for honesty than feigned sincerity. The problem is that many women want to walk arund with their tits and asses out and try to command the same respect as those women who dress and act decently. Life doesn't work that way. If I walked around in a policeman's uniforn, why would you not think I was a cop? So what if Rihanna was singled out? What's the problem? She is one of the guilty. You don't have to name everyone individually to cite examples. The media almost always paraphrases for sensationalism. Of course they would present what he said in a way that is sensationalistic. That's what they do. This chick is a pop star; there is no need to defend her like she is the first lady. She chose the job she does. Her line of idiot's reasoning was to attempt to condemn him for pointing it out by saying "welll you watched me" and then try to swing her "followers" to jump on the bandwagon by trying to say "see, he's attacking you". Under some circumstances, that can be interpreted as insighting a riot; an arrestable offense in some places. If she said that at a concert or somewhere public and people jumped on him, she'd go to jail for it. How in the hell is that an intelligent response? Its just a wordy way of communicating a childish and immature mentality: "If I'm guilty then you are too" and "ooh, he talking about you - get him".

I said that Rihanna was and still is a pawn. I've never said that she was THE brightest of the pawns.
And besides, Farrakhan (despite being a "good" Freemason) is still blacklisted by the ADL & the pro-Zionists. That is punishment in itself as far as The Illuminati are concern. But the addition details are better off in another thread in P&R. | |
