Nation Of Islam Not Providing Security AT TSU After All

Jen Brooks still has a few questions though:

Which still leaves the question: Why would a public university not only welcome a reputed hate group to campus, but issue a press release to celebrate that fact?

In recent years, the Nation of Islam has done extensive gang outreach and issued calls to rap and hip-hop artists to take a more positive role in their communities, which was why TSU Police Chief Sylvia Russell said she never considered turning them down.

“This is a religious organization,” Russell said. “The Nation of Islam works well with gangs and with teen-agers, and that’s why we’re accepting their help. It’s more of a preventative measure.”

    The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies the Nation of Islam as a hate group. Isn’t that enough?

    When will We as free thinking Black Men and Women, stop allowing others pick and choose how We save Our selves from Our selves, when it is the actions of others that is a major contributing factor of Our SELF DESTRUCTING COMMUNITIES.

    The Nation of Islam (FOI)is a well organized and trained group of men who DO NOT carrry any weapons and use verbal diffusing tactics to maintain order. Unfortunately this is NOT what most police , military trained or HATE groups are made up of. They shoot first / ask question or cover-up later!!!
