Farrakhan Leads Audience in Anti-Semitic Tirade

Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Far­rakhan used his plat­form at the NOI’s Mosque Maryam in Chicago on Sun­day to lead his audi­ence in an anti-Semitic tirade.

Towards the end of his remarks, Far­rakhan made a bizarre com­par­i­son between the study of ants and white peo­ple. “The Hon­or­able Eli­jah Muham­mad says to study [white peo­ple]. They’re suc­cess­ful. They make no excuses for their fail­ures. They work hard in a col­lec­tive man­ner like the ant….Their long coevo­lu­tion with other species has led to mimetic, com­men­sal, par­a­sitic, and mutu­al­is­tic relationships.”

He then brought Jews into the comparison:

Go back to the Secret Relationship[Between Black and Jews] …White peo­ple are wise and the wis­est of white peo­ple are the mem­bers of the Jew­ish community…They are wise and they are the guards of their own world. Are you mad with me for say­ing that? [Audi­ence: “No sir!”] You can’t go nowhere in their world with­out pay­ing obei­sance to them.

Far­rakhan then engaged in a dis­turb­ing call-and-response with his audience:

Far­rakhan: How many of you are lawyers? Only have one in the house? No won­der we go to jail so much, brother. But at the top of the law pro­fes­sion, who are the top in law?
Audi­ence: Jews.
Far­rakhan: Sorry I didn’t hear you.
Audi­ence: Jews!
Far­rakhan: Any doc­tors in the house? Ain’t got no doc­tors? Oh there’s one way in the back. At the top of the med­ical pro­fes­sion, the top in that are mem­bers of the Jew­ish com­mu­nity. Any­body in media? Who’s the top in that field?
Audi­ence: Jews.
Far­rakhan: Any­body a rap­per in the house? There’s rap­pers. You can rap, ain’t noth­ing wrong with that, but at the top of that are those that con­trol the indus­try. Any of you have Hol­ly­wood ambi­tions, Broad­way ambi­tions… Who’s the top of that?
Audi­ence: Jews.
Far­rakhan: Same peo­ple! They’re mas­ters in busi­ness. Well I’m not a busi­ness­man I’m a banker. Well who’s the mas­ter of the bankers?
Audi­ence: Jews.
Far­rakhan: TALK TO ME!
Audi­ence: Jews!
Far­rakhan: You don’t dis­credit them because they’re mas­ters, you dis­credit them by the way they use their mastery.
Audi­ence: [applause]
Far­rakhan: Now, I close.

The Final Call Newspaper Denies Jewish History

The Nation of Islam’s news­pa­per, The Final Call, fea­tured an arti­cle by guest colum­nist Jackie Muham­mad in the May 29, 2012, issue. The arti­cle rein­forces the bla­tant anti-Semitic vit­riol expressed by Far­rakhan dur­ing his recent lec­tures and speeches.

The arti­cle not only denies Jew­ish his­tory by argu­ing that Ashke­nazi Jews have no con­nec­tion to Bib­li­cal Jews but also demo­nizes the Jew­ish peo­ple in mod­ern times. Muham­mad writes that “the white Jew­ish estab­lish­ment (Israel)” fears that Far­rakhan will “influ­ence the think­ing of untold mil­lions who are unaware of the dam­age done to us by our Jew­ish ‘friends’” and that “Black youth…will break free of Israel’s con­trol.” The arti­cle con­cludes that it is the “chil­dren of the Black slave” who are “the legit­i­mate heirs of God’s covenant,” and there­fore the real Jews.

The Final Call serves as a plat­form to fur­ther pro­mote Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic con­spir­acy the­o­ries. It is a cen­tral part of the organization’s media arm, which includes var­i­ous web­sites, book pub­lish­ing and social media initiatives.

Academic Department Co-Sponsors Farrakhan Appearance at Chicago State University

The African-American Stud­ies Pro­gram at Chicago State Uni­ver­sity (CSU) spon­sored a lec­ture by Louis Far­rakhan, the anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), at the University’s Jacoby Dick­ens Cen­ter on Jan­u­ary 25. Accord­ing to the NOI, Farrakhan’s son-in-law and long­time aide Leonard Muham­mad “worked closely” with CSU fac­ulty and staff to make Farrakhan’s address on edu­ca­tion in the African-American com­mu­nity hap­pen.

In an inter­view last fall, Far­rakhan described a grow­ing will­ing­ness among uni­ver­sity admin­is­tra­tors to invite him to their cam­puses despite the nefar­i­ous influ­ence of “forces that have seen me as anti-Semitic or anti-White or racist or how­ever they wish to describe me.” In 2011, Far­rakhan spoke at Howard Uni­ver­sity, Jack­son State Uni­ver­sity and Prairie View A&M University—though unlike the CSU event, none of those appear­ances were spon­sored by aca­d­e­mic departments.
Farrakhan’s address at CSU comes within weeks of the NOI’s annual Sav­iours’ Day con­ven­tion, which is tak­ing place in Rose­mont and Chicago, Illi­nois, from Feb­ru­ary 24–26, 2012.
