He ends his message to the rap community with a final warning to clean up the image and be weary of the traps he claims are being set.
“When you come to me, know that I love you and that I want to see you and our life transform. When you leave me know that they are trying to find a way to hurt or to harm you. So go and wash, as Jesus said, and be clean. Clean up your life, clean up your act and let us come together as never before; and let the enemies see that we are united for 10/10/15, the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March where the theme is Justice or Else.”
Adding that the rappers should ask their followers to join the march and that there will not be any dependence to receive the justice and equity that is deserved. Those in power to give it, will have to according to Farrakhan.
The video is very powerful and there is a movement can really be seen in the hip hop community to be more active for political matters. The Breakfast Club interview has truly allowed for other avenues for Farrakhan to deliver his message to the youth and they are responding.
The amount of people, and the type of people, that come out in October will be the true testament towards the work Minister Farrakhan and the rappers have achieved in the past few months. The language may make some uncomfortable but message of equality and justice needs to be demanded. A united front is what it takes to achieve any dream or goal, especially one of this magnitude.
I advise anyone with the opportunity and or capability to go to Washington D.C. Weather you agree with Farrakhan or his beliefs comes last to actually demonstrating that no longer will a ‘crab in a barrel’ mentality will be tolerated and that the opportunities this country is suppose provide for everyone will be a reality and not a dream.
