Hundreds packed a South Side church Sunday to hear Minister Louis Farrakhan address what he called a nationwide educational system that is in decline.
The speech, titled "Educational Challenge: A New Paradigm for the 21st Century," culminated a three-day conference in which educators, community activists and religious leaders from across the country met here to discuss solutions to what they called a plighted education system.
Farrakhan, joined onstage by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, attributed the qualms of America's education system to the country's history of elitism, minority children's disassociation with curriculums and the absence of religion in classrooms.
"With a system of education that puts up the elite, good education was never designed for the masses," Farrakhan said. In fact, he said it was rooted in "white supremacy."
"This is why we're having all these problems in education, because the idea at the root of it represents a finite idea that has to end in order for something new and better to come in," he added.
Farrakhan urged parents and educators to challenge the curriculums of public schools to make them more relatable to minority children.
"When the children can't see themselves in the education, they're not interested," Farrakhan said. "Teach them who they are."
However, the minister rebuffed the idea that education was the solution to society's problems.
"There are people coming out of college with degrees that say we have achieved what this world has to offer," he said. ". . . [We are seeing] the collapse of the economy -- but look at all the people with a doctorate in economics."
Farrakhan condemned America for implementing an "extreme separation of church and state" in taking God out of schools, saying that a new educational paradigm is one rooted in faith.
"How in the world can you achieve what you want when the headmaster has been disrespected?" he asked.
Reporters were not allowed into the presentation site but could listen to the speech on the Web or purchase Farrakhan's presentation.
Farrakhan referenced Barack Obama's campaign platform of "change," but steered clear of any forthright statements endorsing him.
Obama dismissed statements made by the minister in February, where he celebrated Obama's impending candidacy.
"The world is looking for change, so the brother has struck the right chord," Farrakhan said.
967+897/344+288-37/55 = whites fault.
“With a system of education that puts up the elite, good education was never designed for the masses,” Farrakhan said. In fact, he said it was rooted in “white supremacy.”
Words escape me.
Isn’t Farrakhan a black Muslim? That’s already being taught in schools, or might as well be.
I don’t want to encourage Farrakhan but doesn’t he know about the ACLU supporting Barack Obama?
I’m shocked, white people are responsible for black kids not doing well in school!!! Hey, guess what, I help kids read in first grade and the reason some kids don’t do well in school is the parents don’t work with them at home. Money, black “education”, change in our history isn’t gonna help. Its the parents, Stupid.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitey’s fault. #19
When I was a child way back when, I made sure that I studied books I couldn’t read. I learned my numbers and letters before 1st grade and wanted my parents to be proud of me. That drive went a long way.
Much better … but you forgot to take into your equation the height of the statue of liberty, and the depth of the largest crater on the moon. All must be considered.
Farrakhan the nut job who was taken aboard a spaceship a mile in diameter that will rain destruction on white America with it’s 1,500 ships with 3 bombs each powerful as the bombs that formed the mountains of the Earth? (except those in nation of islam will be spared).
THAT Farrakhan?

Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We don’t worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the ’60s. Many are with us today."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
excerpt...
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Louie says it’s all our fault.
He says white people were put here by aliens to afflict the black man. (I’m not making this up)
I say - fine Louie - you are correct - now what are you gonna do about it - put up or shut up.
“Words escape me.”
Unfortunately, there is some truth to his statement. First of all, it is Whitey that is shoving down these new-age curricula down the throats of minorities (while Whitey, in general, is either able to educate their kids on their own, or buy out of the trash). Next, it's Whitey that (in general) opposes school vouchers, so as not to upset their “wonderful” suburban schools. Finally, it's Whitey that gave this country it's welfare system that destroyed the black family.
Now certainly blacks are not totally blameless, particularly given the people they continue to vote for, but Whitey has certainly done a lot to help blacks stay where they are.
[please note, by Whitey, I'm referring to while liberals, not conservatives...but to blacks, we're pretty much one in the same.]
The “reparations” already paid to most blacks in America through a maze of “social programs” has yielded a dangerously alien and hostile black leach on the body of society.
In Vietnam - we learned the technique of getting a leach to “let loose” was to push the sucker end sideways until it releases and then flick them aside.
Where the hell do you flick the accumulation of leaches we've accumulated?
Oh yeah, really designed that way when I was left back a grade my senior year of high school.
Plus I’m white
I also believe social promotion was one of the worst things foisted on public schools.
OPE=POE..
So blacks are fighting extraterrestrial colonialism?
And so the Marxist/Islamofascist assault begins.
very funny - lol
hold your nose and google farrakhan - read some of his stuff.
Black Hitler. And Farrakhan wouldn’t have a problem being called that.
“GET YOUR HAND OUT OF MY POCKET!”
It has been my experience that the dividing line on vouchers is Liberal/Teachers Union/Pro-Gov’t versus Conservative/Small Gov’t and not race. IOWs, its essentially between those that don't want the competition versus those that do.
The current school system would be transformed, over time, by giving parents more choices about where their kids went to school. “The system” as we know it today would be in chaos for a few years as competition ravaged the weaker schools. That pain would eventually be replaced by a MUCH better, ever improving system that would lift ALL kids. The long term benefits for the areas now serviced by failing schools would be dramatic and would help most those who need it most. This from a parent who drives ~8 miles each way so his kids can attend a Charter School rather then a ‘decent’ neighborhood elementary school.
Playing the blame game gets us no-where and is part of the problem. The field is pretty dang level now and as such this ‘white-guilt’ about whitey keeping the blacks down just doesn't fly anymore. Far too many blacks have shown with their success and intellect that if you are willing to work at it you can succeed. The problem is, its hard, no matter what color your skin.
As for the welfare system being responsible for destroying the black family....the road to hell is paved with good intentions which is why depending on a well intentioned Gov’t is NOT the answer.
