I can't know what Pappy thinks or feels.
But, to be fair, the organizer and leader of the Justice or Else rally, Minister Louis Farrakhan, is too extreme for my tastes too. He doesn't represent the whole of the black activist movement and most of this weekend's speakers; many believe he's gone too far.
I think parts of his message are outdated in light of the progress that has been made and is currently underway in terms of affordable health care for all, reducing mass incarcerations, decriminalization of minor offenses, ends to stop-and-frisk policies which heavily targeted blacks...
Still, equality in education, employment, criminal justice and many other areas has not been achieved and should be aggressively pursued, in my opinion. Not just for blacks, for everybody. But, violence is not the answer and Farrakhan diminishes his credibility and his followers by threatening it.
Farrakhan explained his “Justice or Else” message in July.

“Let them continue to kill to live and bury our children while white folks give the killer hamburgers… Retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slave. So, if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stop them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling.”
