Talk:Louis Farrakhan

message: This article is extremely biased, as pointed out before, the leading sentence of "Black Supremacist" is ridiculous to anybody familiar with his work, and ultimately this feels like slander. This needs to be fixed. Now. --MikoMek (talk) 01:14, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. We got antisemite out of the opening sentence, it would be more neutral to take out black supremacist as well. Plenty of descriptions of his beliefs in the rest of the article and in the Nation of Islam article. Unless he would describe himself as a black supremacist, WP:BLP demands that we not make it his primary label. Fnordware (talk) 18:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: How many white supremacists would describe themselves as such? Should we not call them white supremacists using this logic? Just because someone doesn’t call themselves something doesn’t mean we don’t use that label. AryKun (talk) 09:23, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, but he is not a "black supremacist" in the first place. --Bisexual Antifa Terrorist (talk) 16:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ngl you make a valid point but your name is off-putting. If you wanna represent him respectfully you should do so with a proper name so that people don't perceive those defending him as representing the description in your name. 2603:8081:5000:1E66:141:2072:D11D:BA84 (talk) 17:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

message: This article claims Farrakhan is a Black supremacist, and it is in the lead sentence of the article, yet there is no source provided for this claim. Is this not problematic? --Bisexual Antifa Terrorist (talk) 16:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Lead sentence again

message: I have removed the words "black supremacist" from the lead sentence. There has been some back and forth about this on the talk page, but the question has not been resolved (I only took a quick look, so I could be missing something). I am having trouble finding the RfC that was mentioned in the talk page earlier this year. 
Per MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarize the most important parts of the article. As far as "black supremacy" is concerned, the article body does not go into much depth. The only source that is cited for this proposition is the Southern Poverty Law Center. I am not contesting the accuracy of the statement, only its level of significance and the strength of its foundation in reliable sources. Based on the article itself and the sources, it would appear that words like "racist" and "anti-Semite" would be more well-founded than "black supremacist". A "you say po-TAY-to, I say "po-TAH-to" argument could be made to the contrary. MonMothma (talk) 02:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
