Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has written more than a dozen U.S. Jewish groups seeking “repair of my people from the damage” he claims Jews have caused blacks for centuries.
As usual, he is provoking a group for no reason except to stir NOI members into a frenzy of hate. Like that pot needs stirring.
Farrakhan sent the letter along with two books from the Nation of Islam Historical Research Team that the 77-year-old minister said prove “an undeniable record of Jewish Anti-Black behavior,” starting with the slave trade and Jim Crow laws.
“We could charge you with being the most deceitful so-called friend, while your history with us shows you have been our worst enemy,” he wrote.
While similar in theory, I would say that Islam and Judaism [and thus Christianity] are diametrically opposed in practice.
Farrakhan maintains he is ‘seeking a dialogue’ with Jews.
“This is an offer asking you and the gentiles whom you influence to help me in the repair of my people from the damage that has been done by your ancestors to mine,” he writes. “Your present reality is sitting on top of the world in power, with riches and influences, while the masses of my people … are in the worst condition of any member of the human family.”
Where does he get this shit? Brainwashing?
If this is true, then his ‘masses’ of people need to lift themselves up out of poverty like everyone else. Or remain there, but sitting in your own shit and holding your hand out do not endear you to the rest of the world.
This is not new behavior for Farrakhan, but given the changing climate I’m guessing he feels freer to express himself now than at any other time. And that should give us pause to consider… why now? Because our president is anti-Israel and pro-arab?

No group of people of the paler persuasion struggled more for freedom of black Americans than did the Jews. If you look in the dictionary next to “ingrate” you’d see Farrakhan’s picture.

I thought his picture would be more representative of the word ‘asshole’.

Farrakhan is an ungrateful nigger.

Of course he is.

Correction: He’s a willfully ignorant, ungrateful nigger.
Then again, that could be considered redundant…

Perfect imagery for the “Reparations Now!” and welfare crowds. Brilliant!
I wonder if Farrakhan would appreciate my wardrobe today… Mrs. Who and I are wearing our new matching IDF shirts that we got in the post yesterday. Ordered them the day after the blockade stir-up from JudaicaWebStore.com. Mrs. Who even went to weekday Mass wearing hers.

Cool; I’ll check that store out right now!
