I was under the same impression before I "grew up" and now am able to see for myself. Yes, so called Blacklanta has not uttered a word, at least on the commercial stations.Amentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876681992868014576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752646546511186140.post-78783346087374061062008-09-11T18:10:00.000-05:002008-09-11T18:10:00.000-05:00Welcome, Ensayn1!So, no mention of this pioneer...Welcome, Ensayn1!<BR/><BR/>So, no mention of this pioneer's passing even on Black-oriented radio in Atlanta...I can't even claim to be surprised. Mostly because we collectively tend to be ingrates when it comes to our pioneers.<BR/><BR/>I've been avoiding listening to the local Black owned station here. I'm bummed out by the Imam's passing, and I don't want to risk hearing some colored Muslim get on the air to belittle him even in death.<BR/><BR/>I thank God that I was never confused enough to be dismissive of the Imam in public. [That one small shred of Islamic manners saved me from that particular error.]However, until recent years, I didn't have the proper respect for him and his work. You see, I silently thought that he was a sell-out.<BR/><BR/>I was a fool.<BR/><BR/>For all I know, his actions years ago to bring more AA Muslims into the mainstream of American society is what saved us from being summarily rounded up after 9/11.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, now that I'm aware of the legions of self-hating, Arab-worshipping Negro Muslims, I see what the Imam was up against. And I appreciate how he managed to preserve a religious community without it disintegrating into madness & self-hatred.<BR/><BR/>Peace and blessings,<BR/>KhadijaKhadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752646546511186140.post-2161074183132689172008-09-11T14:05:00.000-05:002008-09-11T14:05:00.000-05:00Glad you posted this, there was no news concerning...Glad you posted this, there was no news concerning his passing here in Atlanta.
