Farrakhan sees a new opening for black separatist message
The Oregonian ^ | December 18, 2016 | The Associated Press

CHICAGO -- Minister Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, spoke from a podium draped in the red, black and green of the Pan-African flag, a symbol of black pride.

It was the week after Donald Trump won the presidency. The result had delighted a new generation of white supremacists, and Farrakhan was analyzing the political landscape.

In a speech before the State of the Black World Conference in New Jersey, he warned, "The white man is going to push. He's putting in place the very thing that will limit the freedom of others." Then he pointed to the crowd, smiled and said, "That's what you needed," as motivation to finally separate from whites....

In Africa. That would work.

Though the last thing that star-crossed continent needs is more Mohammedans

He’s 83 years old. Still stirring it. We lost David Bowie, Prince, and Alan Rickman, but this old creep is still here.

“My kind of town....Monrovia is”.

And where was Lincoln going to move the slaves to? Somewhere in one of Guyanas I believe.

BTW. I like black Americans. None of the hard working positive thinkers of ever race, color and creed need to go to such a place as Liberia. Good Americans who believe in the constitution need to stay and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Because they have such firm roots in Africa.

I could at least go live with family in Sicily till I figured things out, not that I plan on doing that AT ALL.

What relatives do they know in Africa? Where are they going to go? What are they going to do/

Having done a fair amount of traveling in Africa I've come in contact with more than a few “African-Africans”.IMO,each and every one of those African’s would 1) sell their souls for a chance to come to the US,despite whatever discrimination they might experience and 2) once they've arrived they'd work 10 times harder,behave 10 times more responsibly and do 10 times better (economically and otherwise) than does the typical black American.

Like I’m a white guy that gets up every morning and thinks of how I can screw over blacks today. Don’t flatter your b_tch azz self Mr. Farrakhan. I’m not the one that’s hateful. You represent one of the many cults of Satan.

Separate from whites? The fly in the ointment is where would they make up all that whites do for or give to them?

Minister Louis Farrakhan, Libya has a job open, thanks to the Brack and Hillry. Perhaps you can go to Libya and separate yourself from US? Better find Colonel Q's gold first.

What can you take away from such a vile statement, except that the left hates our guts, and wants us dead?

I think they should quit beating around the bush, and just come out with it. Declare open hostilities against the right. File articles of secession in several blue states.

Go on. Get it out in the open. Come at us, bro.

There’s a crevice waiting in the Grand Canyon to receive this bigoted filthy blight on the human landscape. Oooops! Slippery slope.

Indeed. It's why I've never taken the term, 'African-American' seriously.

My last African ancestors probably arrived in this country sometime in the early 1800s, but nobody really knows. The familial and cultural bonds to that continent were severed so long ago, even my great grandparents felt no connection to it.

My people have been Americans far too long for me to pay any mind to this nonsense.

My nephews and nieces dont speak a word of Italian. Maybe some curses.

None have been to Italy.

They are third generation and that’s when the connection really goes down, usually.

I onice knew a white guy who'd immigrated here from South Africa. He used to joke that he was a real African-American.

I had to admit, he had a point ;-)

“...third generation ... that’s when the connection really goes down, usually.”

My grandparents (both sides) left the deep south when my parents were young kids. Growing up, my generation had no reality on that part of the country. We don’t even have the accent.
