Louis Farrakhan

Louis Abdul Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott in Massachusetts, May 11, 1933 - ) is the leftwing Fascist,[1][2][3] Hitler admirer,[4][5] leader of the Nation of Islam (a political and religious American group with a race-based, black supremacist philosophy).

After the death of NOI founder Elijah Muhammad and the splintering of his followers into several groups (among which was Elijah's son Wallace, whom Farrakhan originally followed; Wallace would later abandon the NOI name and most of its teachings), Farrakhan (who remained loyal to Elijah) reestablished the NOI and reclaimed its name.

He has attracted a lot of attention for his outspoken black nationalism, his negative remarks about white people (though Farrakhan is himself part-white), his anti-Semitic remarks, and his overall demagoguery. The Anti-Defamation League identifies Farrakhan as the nation's “leading anti-Semite."[6]

In the 1970s, he Admired Idi Amin, on behalf of Nation of Islam.[7]

Farrakhan organized the Million Man March in 1995. Barack Obama helped organize the event.[8]

In 1996, speaking at the Nation of Islam's Saviours Day gathering in Chicago,[9]

“ “God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims. . . . God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims.” ”

On January 20, 2016, Louis Farrakhan was interviewed by Alex Jones. [10]

The Hill[11] and other media outlets[12][13] falsely associated Donald Trump with Farrakhan, even though Farrakhan later compared Trump to Satan.[14]

Racism

Barack Obama with the notorious anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan calls Jews "pigs and dogs." The Anti-Defamation League identifies Farrakhan as the nation's “leading anti-Semite."[15]

In 1995 Farrakhan "explained":

“ "German Jews financed [sic] Hitler right here in America...International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust...Little Jews died while big Jews made money. Little Jews [were] being turned into soap while big Jews washed themselves with it. Jews [were] playing violin, Jews [were] playing music, while other Jews [were] marching into the gas chambers..."[sic][16] ”

He has been pushing for a falsification of history book which also confused Jewels with Jews, while final research shows Jews were actually very under represented in slave trade,[17] or lying[18] about supposedly financing it, yet he cherry picked the few to befit his hate propaganda, while diminishing Goliath Arab slave trade: slavery in the Islamic world from earliest times until today[19] and in our times, by racist Arabism [20][21]. In 2020 some who have repeated his distortion[22][23] about Hebrews and Semitic, have apologized.[24]

He's promoted the ideology that Whites are "devil." [25][26] In his phylosophy: the white American man, having "pumped his blood" into black females, as a result rendered persistently "weak and susceptible" to whites' "evil, filthy, and indecent way of life."[27]

In 2010, Black Muslim Farrakhan stoked racism against white people for not supporting Obama. Addressing 20,000 people in Chicago's Saviours Day convention, a black nationalist gathering, he stated the "white right" is trying to make Barack Obama a one-term president. He claimed the stalling of healthcare reform as proof.[28] His support of Barack Obama for president was supposedly rejected by Obama only after Obama was directly confronted by Hillary Clinton in a debate.

Sadam and Gaddafi

Seven months before the U.S. invaded Iraq, Farrakhan spoke with the Islamic Affairs Minister Abdul Munem Saleh from the Iraq News Agency. "The Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq [over U.S. forces]."

Farrakhan was a staunch supporter of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. In an interview he condemned Obama's Libyan War 2011 and the killing of al-Gaddafi. Also, Farrakhan explained what he said was the story of his 1985 abduction by aliens from outer space.[29]

Platforms

Banned from Facebook in May 2019. [30] And in October 2020, YouTube removed his channel.[31]

Legacy

Racist Kamau Bobb, Google's "diversity" chief, who showed his utter racism when posted in 2007 anti-Semitic about Jews as a whole,[32] has stated he learned his lessons from Minister Farrakhan and Malcolm X. [33][34]

From a report: [35]

When the post resurfaced, campaigners were quick to call for Mr Bobb's resignation.

Michael Dickson, head of the .. organisation Stand With Us, tweeted that the blog made "revolting, and anti-Semitic, comparisons between Nazi actions and that of the world's only Jewish country".

The US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, meanwhile, also called for Mr Bobb to be removed from his post.

Mr Bobb has not publicly responded to the criticism.

However, according to the New York Post, he emailed the Jewish staff group at Google to apologise.

Important to mention that though he "apologized" to Jewish staff, he is not known (at the time) to have retracted his racism, racist views.

From a reaction:[36]

Apparently, being a Farrakhan Fan doesn’t violate Google’s standards of decency. Kamau Bobb may have deleted this blog post, but the link is still online. Google “Kamau Bobb and Farrakhan” & you’ll see. Doesn’t Google Google?

In Dec-2020, Ishmael Muhammad, a student minister in Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, had referenced the ‘Synagogue [Nation of Islam guy said] of Satan’ (an antisemitic phrase used to refer to Jews) for allegedly promoting vaccines to sterilize [sic] Black people. [37]

    To the Editor:

    It was widely reported when Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, suspended Khalid Abdul Muhammad, who told an audience at Kean College of New Jersey that Jews are bloodsuckers, gays are sissies, and the Pope is a cracker. Mr. Farrakhan rebuked the manner in which Mr. Muhammad delivered his message, but Mr. Farrakhan reaffirmed the "truths" of that message! Reporters speculate if this is a repudiation of bigotry or not. But they are silent about the history of the Nation of Islam on these subjects.

    In the early 1960's, at a large gathering of the Nation of Islam, the featured speaker was Elijah Muhammad, its leader. But the speaker just before him, addressing Elijah Muhammad's followers, was George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party. In the early 1960's Malcolm X, as a Nation of Islam spokesman, mocked the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. At the height of civil rights protest Malcolm traveled to the South, not to partake in civil rights protest, but to negotiate with leaders of the Ku Klux Klan on how to thwart the struggle for civil rights. This scene is omitted from Spike Lee's film and from the recent PBS documentary on Malcolm X.

    And in the 1920's, even before the founding of the Nation of Islam, Marcus Garvey led the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which became America's largest black nationalist organization. The association created the Black Cross Nurses, the African Legion, the Knights of the Nile and established the Black Star Steamship Line. Though black liberals and socialists like A. Philip Randolph and W. E. B. Du Bois bitterly opposed Garvey, Garvey found other associates -- the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan.

    Garvey and Klansmen met and shook hands in the 1920's. Eventually, Garvey was deported and lived in Britain, where he supported the Conservative Party and hoped Britain would transfer some of its African colonies to him. Garvey also admired some European leaders, like Mussolini. Garvey even reminded his followers, "We were the first Fascists." Thus, the problem is not a single speech by Khalid Muhammad. Behind much of black nationalism and the Nation of Islam lurks the idea of fascism. And black fascism, like white fascism, is still fascism.

    When Jesse Jackson and the Congressional Black Caucus attempt to embrace Louis Farrakhan, they are seeking an alliance  with a tradition of fascism.

    Faber found during his more recent scholarly research with British Naval Office records that in 18th-century Britain, Jews actually were not heavily invested in the trading part of the slave trade. “Overwhelmingly,” Faber said, “Jewish merchants and shippers were not involved at all; they represent a minuscule portion of owners of ships.” While Jews did own slaves, he found, “their ownership was directly proportionate to their numbers.” Both were about 18 percent. The two companies with slaving ventures had small numbers of Jews among their owners: The Royal Africa Company had none until 1712, and the South Sea Company always had a handful of Jews, ..Faber says. The numbers just aren’t there to support the view,” said Faber. “Jews were involved, but to an insignificant degree. That doesn’t absolve them of that guilt, but everyone made money off African slaves: Arabs, Europeans, Africans,” he said. “And there was no attempt to deny it...” And indeed, most black intellectuals were never convinced by The Secret Relationship. “You can’t even say that Christians across the board were slave-traders!” said Hilary Shelton, Washington bureau director and senior vice president for Advocacy for the NAACP. “There is not a religion that doesn’t have someone doing some dastardly thing. Did you know that in Ku Klux Klan’s handbook, it states specifically that one must be a devout Catholic? And this is problematic for the relationship between the two communities, which has been so important to us...

    …to the extent that Jewish people were involved in the transatlantic slave trade, it was not only in finance, and not even disproportionately in finance. The fact that only financing is mentioned plays into the stereotype that Jews are always behind the scenes, controlling the money. While the fact that any Jews were involved in the slave trade makes my blood run cold, it can hardly be said to constitute “the Jewish nation … financing [sic] the slave ships.”

    Why do people think “the Jews” [dic] financed the slave trade? Some of the chief proponents of this idea have been Louis Farrakhan and Leonard Jefferies [sic].

    The Nation of Islam, under the leadership of Farrakhan, wrote a pseudo-scholarly book entitled, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which is devoted to this topic. This book picks sources to show any Jews who were involved in the slave trade, and then carefully doesn’t mention the scale at which these people were involved — which was a tiny fraction of the whole.

    The book leaves out mention of other groups involved in kidnapping, torturing, selling, and owning Black human beings, including indigenous groups in America, Black African leaders, and other ethnic and racial groups. I do not write this to excuse or minimize any involvement by anyone of any race in this horrific crime. My point is that this book takes one of the worst crimes in human history, and pins it on “the Jews” by virtue of the actions of a tiny minority of people involved.

    This kind of collective scapegoating is never acceptable or moral. It is hardly surprising however, since Farrakhan is an outspoken antisemite. His list of public antisemitic remarks is too long to list here, but suffice it to say that “termites” is one of the nicer names he has for Jews.

    Leonard Jefferies [sic] was a professor at the City College of New York, who in 1993 gave a now infamous lecture in which he asserted, among other things, “Everyone knows rich Jews helped finance the slave trade.” When Jefferies [sic] gave a version of this lecture at Harvard, and was questioned by a student regarding historical records that do not show Jewish ownership or control in the companies who engaged in enslaving Black people for profit, he replied that the investments were “secret.”

    Because these allegations align with pre-existing antisemitic tropes about Jews (that Jews are secretly controlling everything), they reinforce what many people already believe. This makes them memorable, and credible to people who are exposed to them. It also means that people are inclined to accept them, regardless of the lack of evidence….

    On Friday nights Jews traditionally bless their daughters to emulate Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah. But the women these girls actually take after are 4 other women entirely. In a genetic study conducted in 2002, scientists found that 40% of all living Ashkenazi Jews (some 3.5 million) trace their DNA back to 4 'founding mothers' who lived in Central and Eastern Europe over 1,000 years ago. The scientists studied the mitochondrial DNA (otherwise known as mtDNA) of 11,000 women of Ashkenazi origin living in 67 different countries. Four distinct strands of mtDNA were found in each of the study's participants, indicating shared maternal ancestry. What's more, this genetic signature appears almost exclusively in Ashkenazi Jews (with occasional occurrence in Sephardic Jews, as well).
