Claim: Obama Marched With Farrakahn in So-Called Million Man March?
Correction: I just added the question mark because I'm not sure the authority here -- biography.com -- is sufficient. Thanks to genghis for suggesting I check the original source.
More: Genghis says the site to by the below blogs linked is "wormy" and lights up security measures. Looking even shakier than it did before.
It's not so much the march, but marching under the flag of degenerate lunatic Louis Farrakhan.
For a different kind of politician, set to heal our racial wounds, Obama sure does seem to carry a lot of old school racewarrior baggage.
Was this seen as a more-or-less mainstream event in the black community itself? Well, maybe, maybe not, but not among the black political leadership, which almost entirely sat the event out.
Only two members of Congress attended, as did a couple of mayors (including Marion Barry), Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. President Clinton gave a speech endorsing the goals of the march, but condemning its organizer.
