    I have to agree with the running theme of Min. Farrakhan’s comments at all of these sessions. Who are we making a covenant with and are they WORTHY of trust considering all of the broken treaties, lies, and outright political bulldogging that our people have faced in trying to connect with America. A love Cornell West and Dick Gregory, I cant get enough of them; I learned so much from them.
