Louis Farrakhan: Black America must demand its own court system
The Conservative Voices ^ | 24 Feb 2014

Posted on 02/24/2014 9:18:38 AM PST by mandaladon

Minister Louis Farrakhan, the outspoken and controversial leader of The Nation of Islam, called for a separate court system for African-Americans Sunday because he believes the biased U.S. judicial system does not deliver “equal justice.” Speaking for almost three hours to a crowd of thousands assembled at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit for the last day of the annual convention of the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan railed against the system and encouraged the African-American community to demand its own court system. “We want equal justice under the law,” the Detroit Free Press reported Farrakhan said. “Our people can’t take much more.

We got some, too.” Farrakhan, 80, said he hoped new “white mayor” Mike Duggan would be successful in restoring all of Detroit, not just “downtown.” “First time in a long time you’ve had a white mayor.

During his talk, Farrakhan denied he was anti-Semitic, saying: “Did Jesus have a problem with the Jews of his day? You’re “slaughtering your own people for America” and the “European infidel,”

I don't have a single good thing to say about Farrakhan, but there's no need to insult him like that.

In small southern towns with a large majority of blacks, they already have their own justice system.

Blacks are often a majority on those juries, so there is no real issue beyond people needing to behave better and staying out of trouble.
