I love how all these black panther folks and farakhan types like to be muslims. I had a Yemeni terp explain to me one day how racist most Arabs are to blacks, and how black members of Al Qaeda are pretty much the bottom rung of the AQ caste system. He also went onto explain how his ancestors (Berbers) forced the Africans into slavery and subsequently Islam and how he feels the joke is on them for wanting to convert.
The neo-radical black panther vs. the fundamentalist- pretty different perspectives.

Yup, just look at who the Arab's slaves have been for millenia.
The most prolific slave traders in all of human history were Arab Muslims, with the practice reaching its height under the Ottoman empire. Their total slave trade far exceeded that of the British, Portuguese and Spanish empires combined by several hundred percent according to most estimates.
The highest number of slaves per capita in any population was none other than Mauritania, also the last country to officially ban the practice as late as 1909.
It is still really common in Islamic countries for the wealthy to "hire" black men in particular to oversee their households. Yet even the hired help still live under incredibly austere conditions, earning the rough equivalent of perhaps $150 to $200 per month on the high end- and that would be in the "wealthier" countries.
The actual Berbers of the Greater Atlas are actually the only people in the region who were never fully conquered by the expansion of the Islamic empire- mostly because of their lack of any real resources and the remoteness of where they live. I've done bartering and trading with them (mountain Berbers), and they have the most peculiar- and completely unique written language, unlike anything else in all of Africa or the Middle East. The written form is still used among the roaming Touareg- the descendents of some of the original Berbers. I've read that specialists believe the language goes back to before the Punic wars.

Imagine what they thought when "he" said "Yeah, I'll put that PETN in my underwear and kick it off."

I have some of their carpet in my house.
They still make it- actually rugs, not carpet- by hand in much the same way they've always done it. The people (Berbers) as a whole are remarkably creative. They can take a hubcap from an old Peugeot that died in the desert 20 years ago, hammer it, cut it, engrave it, lay camel bone into it, wrap it around polished Argane wood, and produce a cheap ornamental dagger with sheath in a few hours. Those inexpensive daggers then end up in bazaars all over N. Western Africa alongside the much more expensive "real" daggers.
Check this little "protest" out.

They are really making it hard for me not to blow my top with a nice long profanity laced rant.

This is what these pinheads are doing in Congress these days? What an embarrassment we have become.
I feel ashamed.
Still... I don't get the obsession with the damn hoodie, ever since the Unabomber screwed it up for everyone.

How much are congressmen paid?
Depending on your district's voters, you can either be a complete brick (this guy and the guy from GA who fears that "the KKK will soon be roaming the countryside in their white hoods"), or be a rather intelligent individual who fought hard to get where you are- Paul Ryan comes to mind.

From Bobby Rush's Wikipedia page- This SOB should be in prison, not in office.
Early life, education, and political activism
After dropping out of high school, Rush joined the U.S. Army in 1963 but went AWOL and received an honorable discharge in 1968.[2] Throughout the 1960s Rush was involved in the civil-rights movement. He worked in civil-disobedience campaigns in the South, and co-founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers in 1968 and was made its "defense minister". His son, Huey, was named after Panther leader Huey Newton. "We were reacting to police brutality, to the historical relationship between African-Americans and recalcitrant racist whites," Rush later told People magazine. "We needed to arm ourselves." Rush was present when fellow Black Panther Fred Hampton was killed in a police raid and later made an official statement that the police, referred only to as "pigs" by Rush, had murdered Hampton. Rush's own apartment was raided in December 1969 where police discovered an unregistered pistol, rifle, shotgun and pistol ammunition, training manuals on explosives and booby traps, a small amount of marijuana and an assortment of communist literature.[3]Earlier that same year Rush stated the philosophy his membership in the Black Panthers saying, "Black people have been on the defensive for all these years. The trend now is not to wait to be attacked. We advocate offensive violence against the power structure."[4]
Imprisoned for six months in 1972 on a weapons charge after carrying a gun into a police station, Rush nonetheless worked on several non-violent projects that built support for the Black Panthers in African American communities. He coordinated a medical clinic that offered sickle-cell anemia testing on an unprecedented scale. Rush graduated with honors from Chicago's Roosevelt University in 1973. A year later he left the Panthers, who were already in decline. "We started glorifying thuggery and drugs," he told People. That was distasteful to the deeply religious Rush, who is a born-again Christian. He went on to say that "I don't repudiate any of my involvement in the Panther party—it was part of my maturing."[5] He subsequently resumed his education in the early 1990s at the McCormick Seminary and received a master's degree in theology.
After leaving the Panther Party, Rush sold insurance for a time in the early 1970s.

$175K, plus benefits is entry level. Up to $300K for senior positions.
But that's peanuts compared to what they make once they get elected... and after they leave office, depending on how well they look after their special interests.
Consider why anyone would spend $2 million just to get elected to a position that pays $200K per year. Pelosi spent more than that just in 2010.

I thought he had a diploma, and it was posted online by the Hawaii school system after $2 million in legal fees, 2 years of incessant requests by the Right Wing nutjobs, as well as a personal, nationally televised plea by Donald Trump that was watched by 60 million Americans. Or am I getting that confused with something else?
