Given that I’m not only a Jew but my father immigrated to America after escaping Nazi Germany, you’d probably assume that anything I’d have to say about the Nation of Islam’s leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan, wouldn’t be fit for polite company.
But that’s where you’d be wrong. As a matter of fact, when referring to Minister Farrakhan, I always make sure to include the honorific.
Many of my first real male role models were men who had a deep and abiding respect for Minister Farrakhan. They were always good to me, and whatever it is I’d be minus their influence is incomprehensible. So I’m not going to be bullied into disrespecting them by disrespecting a man they deeply admired by anyone.
