Farrakhan: I'm Grateful To 'Brilliant' Tyler Perry For Creating 'Madea'

[BlackWolf]

In a wide-ranging interview that touches on everything from 'Django Unchained' to President Barack Obama, Minister Louis Farrakhan gives a lengthy and heartfelt "shout-out' to film-maker Tyler Perry:

"I have never seen his portrayal of ‘Madea’ as a man cross-dressing. I saw his wonderful portrayal of Madea as bringing to the forefront the strongest person in the history of our sojourn in America, and that is Madea."

When asked how single, Black women could better raise their son, instead of babying them, Farrakhan said they could "be more like Madea":

"I didn’t have a father in my house. My mother was strong enough to be anybody’s father. We’ve got strong Black women, but if they sit around watching stupid television...Black women need to stop thinking that you necessarily need a weak man in your house. You’re strong enough to make a man. My mother was and all she had was God and his Christ as a Christian woman and the discipline that she put on me and brother."

He had a lot more to say about Perry, the importance of Madea and the culture of violence on the United States.

I don't endorse single-parent households, but Farrakhan highlights a great point. There are many households absent a parent, typically the father, but through the hard work, dedication and preserverance of some mighthy Black women, the kids didn't do too bad. In fact, in many, they came out just fine. Of course, that doesn't excuse the male among us, before us and those to come after us of their duty to love, shape, mold, lead, support, nourish . . .

I believe that stats would probably show, however, that children from one-parent households have much less of a chance at a lot of good things in life than two-parent households, hence, I am pro-"functional" familiy. A lot of two-parent families aren't functional. Nothing is perfect.

Farrakhan had always been a waste o space and this story really highlights why "black leaders" are a real detriment to the black community.

Anyone with any influence is always giving black people infinitely bad advice.

The only thing that needs to come out of Farrakhan's mouth is, "the mother and father of a child should be getting married, and if that woman doesn't want a 'weak man' in the house, the don't have a baby with a weak man."

The lack of traditional family in the black community has been devestating.

Who the fuck cares.

Why do you value being all fucked up just because white people are fucked up.
