> “It is actually not OK to erase black leaders who are not pleasing to white people,”

Basically saying, "Jews aren't actually a minority and they can go fuck themselves."

I think we're just finding out that there were always "batshit crazies" like this all along, it's just that they've been getting more and more of the platform lately...

And yes, I'd agree that it's just so fucking tiring. Can we get on with boring politics like the MTA or gasp zoning please

Glad this is the top comment, because I came here to say this.

I read Malcolm X's autobiography back in college, it was so interesting to read how he thought he was a hot shot and knew everything about Islam after being associated with NoI... and then he went on his hajj to Mecca and was embarrassed to learn he barely knew anything about the religion at all.

”Don’t poop on the street” Street

Lol, you’re still hung up on this? No, it’s not. It’s not antisemitic to be anti-Zionist.

It’s hard to imagine Brooklyn without Prospect Park.

He spent a billion dollars of his daddy's money to fund the last renovation almost a decade ago, and that was still knowing that they would have to relocate anyway. Just laughable, honestly.

Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

This is making me realize I need to read a good biography of Elijah Muhammad

Great! Now can he return the money he didn’t earn by not doing his job?

I feel like a deal was made between the two brothers. He served a year to the T. Wouldn't be surprised to find him in a better position at a better-paying university in a few months from now.

If can't explain it then I'm going to assume he doesn't have a role other than collecting a check

Maybe your on his side then. You think he had heart in that job when he's obviously freeloading off his brother. He belongs back on the front lawn lifting weights and drinking 40's.

Abolish City Council. Replace it with something anything.

"I just think hes like a really unifying force in Europe"

Slightly funnier if you do it in one of Bill Burrs character voices

I want the Tappan Zee Bridge back.

Why are we asking people in the south to give up Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis? How is this any better? Weren't they "white leaders who are not pleasing to black people"?

Why can't people just be boring and moderate? By the end of Trump's Presidency I didn't even care what he did. I was just so exhausted from reading about the crazy shit every day.

While I'm not a Elijah Muhammad fan, I will say many of the streets in NYC are named after slave owners and people who have done horrific things to black people but no one says anything about that.

Oh boy…let’s read these comments

The Nation of Islam is fucking crazy. Made up by an inmate (Fard Muhammad) in Detroit county jail, Elijah Mohammed likely had that dude killed as well because he just disappeared one day. The FBI alleges that Fard Muhammad, who was half Black and Half white was actually a white man named Willie Ford. Either way, he disappeared in 1934 and Elijah Mohammed took over.

Where's Elaine? Think that there was a Seinfeld episode when she changed phone numbers and was given the new area code freaking out that it wasn't a 212 number.

Elijah Mohammed? The guy who green lighted Malcom X and had babies with the very young women that worked as his secretaries? Excellent.

"Benson said the items — including KN95 masks, isolation gowns, aprons and face shields — are all considered “non-medical” and were purchased at the start of the pandemic when medical supplies and safety equipment were difficult to obtain.

Now that higher-grade supplies are available, Benson stated, city health officials said they don’t need the non-medical items anymore."

Uh we still use all of these in care facilities feel free to donate them.

I’d prefer to name things after endangered animals or things people needed to remember… like “always be nice to your waiter” boulevard
