*We could be wrong, but it looks like something’s got Minister Farrakhan seriously spooked about the Mary J. Blige produced Lifetime movie “Betty and Coretta.”
Perhaps it’s because he and other observers feel it makes him look as though he was implicated in the assassination of Malcolm X. In fact, ever since Malcolm’ death, Farrakhan’s name has been mentioned as being involved in his demise.
And as we reported earlier, the Nation of Islam leader did an interview with the organization’s news outlet, Final Call, about the film and the Malcolm murder implication.
Final Call: Why do you think Lifetime, and those who created this movie, is opening up the old wounds of the Malcolm X murder at this time?”
Farrakhan: It is because the murderer of Malcolm X is still alive in the hearts and minds of many, and they wish to charge me with that crime in order to seek to destroy my reputation with the people that love and admire me. And also, to plant the seed in the hearts of those who don’t know me that I am, in fact, a “murderer.”
Final Call: What do you think the motive of Mary J. Blige is in being an ‘executive producer’ when I hear that she likes you?
Farrakhan: I cannot answer for Mary J. Blige except to say that when a person is famous or well-known, sometimes they will give such person “executive producer status” to add to the strength of the film. Mary J. Blige is my friend! And nothing that’s in this movie has diminished my love and respect for her.
Well, after that interview was published Minister Farrakhan hopped on a plane to meet with Blige. Or as Final Call stated: “to further send a clear message that the film ‘Betty and Coretta’ has not diminished his love and respect for singer Mary J. Blige, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan traveled to California on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013 for a joyful lunch and dialogue with her and her husband.”
Hmm, does kinda make you wonder, doesn’t it?
In any event, photos of that meeting are above and below (see more photos at Final Call).
No disrespect, Minister….but why you lovin’ up on MJB? She aint the one you needed to clear the air with. It should have been BETTY SHABAZZ herself…RIP Brown Betty.
You are disrespecting your self and not The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan by your 1. Not knowing the facts (i.e. The Meeting at the Apollo) 2. Disrespecting Brother Kendu, Ms. Blige’s husband who is there with his wife and The Minister. Shame on you EUR Web for giving subtle suggestion of a made up impropriety as opposed to celebrating a Unity in the Black community that could not be broken as opposed to beefs that have unnecessarily destroyed lives in the Black community. So I ask is EUR Web an European agenda forced on the Bklack community or can you be more responsiible when handling the affairs of our people?
Ignorance is a hellofathing.. LOL. MJB played Betty in the movie and they are friends! But anyway, Betty Shabazz and Farrakhan cleared the air back in 1995 in a private meeting and again in a public way at the World Famous Apollo Theater in the NYC. The movie referred to it in a crazy way but you can watch the whole event on youtube.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnf1b00uqGM Peeps need to listen more to MJB’s “No More Drama”.
Farakahn is a liar,he was so jealous of Malcom X that he could not see strait
No The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is nobody’s liar. What reason did he have to be jealous of a man he loved and admired so much? What makes your sight so straight? It is a shame that some of us are so influenced by accusations that carry absolutely no evidence. Farrakhan has plead with the US Government to open ALL the files have you. Farrakhan has ask for ALL COINTELPRO files be open. Unfortunately you attack the most effective truth teller without cause and post nothing about the number one killers on the planet. Which raises a few questions:1. Are you jealous? 2. Are so in need of Caucasian approval that you break the 9th commandment about bearing false witness 3. where is your evidence besides a feeling?
Shame on you Euro Web from using the worst possible angles and information from the lives of people you cover in order to feed this slop to our people like one would feed slop to pigs.
lol…you guys actually buying the garage that Farrakhan had something to do with the murder of Malcolm…it was all adaptation and made up…read the credits at the end. Plus given that both sistas are gone it’s easy to make up conversations between the two women and not be held accountable given they are not here to speak. Betty never wrote a book highlighting any of the conversations that took place in the movie.
Thankyou Harrisburg Rep for defending such a beautiful, truthful, and Godly man. For all of you who believe in what this site says you need to go to noi.org to find out the real facts and not jump to conclusions w/o facts.
