What's I found so interesting about this particular video when I first saw it many moons ago, is how deeply ingrained the psychology of white supremacy is in black folk, even Farrakhan.
Farrakhan did everything right as soon as Wallace the white racist spouted off his bullshit about Niggers are more corrupt than we white folks.
Farrakhan immediately called him out it and had that white boy rolling on the defensive.
But what happened at the conclusion? Farrakhan apologized for his justified indignation and tone. Which gave Wallace the chance to give Farrakhan his "blessing". Which, at the end made Wallace appear to be in control.
Now the whole system of white racism is based on perception, image. Deception. That's why you can't give them quarter. In so far Khalid Muhammad's approach to discourse with these white racists was much better.
However, I must give the minister his due. He knows what he is doing. By adjusting his tone towards the end, he took away the tactic of portraying him is just 'another angry black man' so filled with self-righteous rage, that he can't think straight.
Did he give Mike an out? Yes. Was it the best move? I think so.

Mike Wallace controls the microphone. 60 Minutes is seen by millions.
The minister is not in a "Righteous Anger" competition. He is in a competition to reach as many people as possible with the truth.
He wasn't done with Mike Wallace yet, so he let him off the hook so he could do more damage later.
Ali didn't know Quarry out in the first round so he could beat his ass in the 8th.
Farrakhan, smiled, laughed and asked for forgiveness as a gesture of kindness. He reminded the frightened white audience of his humanity. His complexity.
He didn't forfeit anything. You could actually learn a thing or two from the minister on this one.
Powerful men wielding the truth have to be careful not to frighten people away.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

I hear where you are coming from Mike.
That crossed my mind too.
However, I must give the minister his due. He knows what he is doing. By adjusting his tone towards the end, he took away the tactic of portraying him is just 'another angry black man' so filled with self-righteous rage, that he can't think straight.

"Did he give Mike an out? Yes. Was it the best move? I think so."
Why?
Please don't come with that Sun Tzu quote as an answer. It's not applicable here. Unless you know something I don't.
Aight.
