Minister Louis Farrakhan addressed more than 14,000 Nation of Islam followers inside Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena on NOI’s Saviours’ Day this weekend about an array of issues, including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani’s attack on Beyonce’s controversial Super Bowl performance of “Formation” and police unions threatening to boycott working at her upcoming “Formation World Tour.”
The Houston-bred songstress was dressed in all black garb during her Super Bowl performance, paying homage to the Black Panthers as her dancers formed an “X” on the football field, likely a salute to civil rights leader Malcolm X.
Since Bey’s performance of “Formation,” police unions across America have threatened to boycott her concert when her “Formation World Tour” comes to their city because some believe the track to be anti-police.
“She started talking that Black stuff and White folks say, ‘Well, we don’t know how to deal with that,” Farrakhan says at the convention yesterday (February 21). “Well, you taught us everywhere we went about the Holocaust, but we have sympathy for you. But when one of us shows some independence, look at how you’re treating Beyonce now. You’re going to picket. You’re not going to offer her police protection. But the FOI will.” The FOI refers to the Fruit of Islam, the Nation of Islam’s security.
Beyonce has since explained the message behind her performance saying it’s what she wanted. “I wanted people to feel proud, have love for themselves,” she said.
Minister Farrakhan also sends praises to 5x Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar for setting a new standard after his powerful Grammy performance.
“He freed rappers to come on up,” the 82-year old NOI leader says. “He’s the boss. He’s the boss. Now when the rappers are free to say it like it is and say what they feel and teach their people through music and Rap and song and dance, the cultural revolution is on.”
Farrakhan further encourages the Hip Hop community to say what they feel and that they have the full support and protection of the NOI.
Minister Louis Farrakhan‘s speech regarding Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar at NOI’s Saviours’ Day is as follows:

like i’ve been saying for a while . This country will allow black people to achieve certain level of success and we should be happy with what they give us but let us unite and start talking that black unity “wait a minute a now. we let you negros work, get promoted, let you have sex with our white women and we even nominate black actor/actresses every 7 years at the oscars but now you want to defy this great white country that you help built on your blacks backs but never get credit for and now you wanna unite somebody get the head dragon master of the kkk on the phone right now. South shall rise again like the phoenix.” Thoughts of CERTAIN white ppl . I think Beyonce should have NOI do security detail but I know she or Jay would go for it. Btw I’am Black
I can’t hate because you’re speaking power to truth. Now with Trump running his mouth, you see he is winning in spite of his bigotry because he’s tapped into that hateful deep seeded racism that plagues America, but don’t tell anyone that because racism is dead… now let’s build a wall, ban muslims, and keep the black people in their place.
i hope you have think very careful before you wrighting this message , you are a big fool , i wanted to reply you , but i know that , not all whites are soo idiot like you , BIG FOOOL
Preach

Donald Trump speaks for white people like Chris Brown speaks for black people. See, does that statement make any sense? No! just because Chris Brown beats women doesn’t mean that every african american male beats women. Donald Trump is an idiot and doesn’t speak for anybody but Donald Trump and a FEW inbred white people. you’re not the only race in north america, smart guy. always blaming us for your problems. shut up already
this couldn’t be further from the truth. you’re just another uneducated imbecile that posts dumb shit like this because shitting on innocent white people is the cool thing to do. meanwhile those same innocent white people are the ones who created the internet, computers, clothing, sneakers, medical technology, etc while you’re posting ignorance like that. whiny cunts
You didn’t create nothing stupid Japan invented technology and you copied as you do everything else and here you are on a hip hop website and you didn’t invent that stupid
White idiot clearly I said CERTAIN white ppl but hey if the shoe fits I guess u got a new pair shoes as swipe dick head. U must not know how read cause CERTAIN was in all caps asswipe
Another white idiot who just either skim or simply can’t read. I said CERTAIN white ppl. I know white privilege automatically gets u what u want but reading is something u shouldn’t skip out on

“blah blah blah blah blah blah.” that about sums up how much the rest of us care about your whiny complaints. it’s 2016 shitheads. you’re not the only race in north america. get over yourselves already you whiny cunts. now get out of our way the rest of us have jobs to get to
I would love to know where you live. It would be a pleasure to break every finger on both hands so you can’t type anymore. The ignorance and misunderstanding is real in America. Rhetorical question; Why don’t you try to understand why things are the way they are, instead of being a dumb ass??
Now what these punk assed police want to do now? it’s gotten real now god dammit
Allahu Akbar brothers
Someone, shoot this Farrakhan donkey wipe

Man, fuck Nation of Islam. Have you ever heard them come out denouncing ISIS? NO. Why, cause they probably believe in the savage shit that ISIS does. And yes, us white people are so fuckin sick and tired of hearing about the Black man’s plight. Lazy, loud, disrespectful, and ghetto, that’s about 80% of the black populace right there, and guess what, half your women have genital herpes too; check the CDC statistics, playboys.
Ignorance is bliss, ain’t it? The Nation of Islam is not the same thing as Orthodox Islam. They are entirely different entities and don’t support Isis in any way!! And he has spoke out against Isis. But you probably don’t know that seeing as you like to spout bogus words on hip-hop websites. Look up minister Farrakhan’s sermons on YouTube, and then come spit your ignorant bullshit!
When Ignorant immature assholes have nothing knowledgeable to say. The always show us who they are smh
Much love to Minister Farrakhan an the N.O.I. he truly is our last great leader an has always spoken highly of Hiphop an the positive power it can have if it remains true to its essence of Health Love Awareness an Wealth. Shout out to Kdot an Beyonce for bringing their heart to the music. Artist have a responsibility to be activist. There duty is to reflect the times…Peace on the Internets
No matter how black she is, 80% of her revenue and concert attendees in the U.S. and Canada are white. I went to 2 of her shows at the Staples Center in L.A. and just like Kanye West, most were white and hispanic.
For all you white commentators that say its 2016 or stop whining you cunts oh we will stop whining when you white ppl stop talking about the holocaust and always making this country never forget about it but us blacks have to keep our mouth shut about all types of injustice to us.

So Farakhan… she started talking about BLACK STUFF. Here is a lyric from her song Formation that is “dedicated” to Black Lives Matter: “When he f*ck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay. If he hit it right I might take him on a flight in my chopper, cause I slay”. So this is what black people represent? Black Crimes Matter
Millennial’s can digest Kendrick Lamar and the messages that he gives. It is much easier to like Drake. Millennial’s can digest Kendrick Lamarr in the messages that he gives. It is much easier to like Drake He is basic and what the marketing people tell them they should like.
