[monochrom] The "F" Word and the White Press: The Editorial Sins of Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.

[das ende der nahrungskette]

B Rev. William E. Alberts, Ph.D.
Two of the most important prophets confronting 
the oppression of black persons in America are 
Minister Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Jeremiah 
Wright, Jr. They are black-chosen not 
white-approved leader. Thus their unique 
prophetic authority is revealed in the intense 
negative reactions to them by mainstream media, 
which are the guardians of America's 
white-controlled hierarchy of access to political 
and economic power. The fact that the dominant 
press have singled them out for vilification is 
evidence of their validation as prophets speaking 
truth to power—rather than conventional religious 
leaders finessing ccompromise with the hierarchical status quo.
