If you reside in Detroit, as I do, your radio and TV broadcast airwaves are dominated by live coverage of Rosa Parks' funeral. All other programming is pre-empted -- so we can be lectured by racists and race merchants. Right now, I'm listening to Louis X a/k/a Louis Farrakhan. Why is this racist loon a prominent speaker at this woman's funeral? If he had it his way, Catholics and other Christians, Jews, Whites, Asians, Gays, Arabs, and anyone not Black Muslim would not be riding in the back of the bus: they'd be dead. Is Rosa Parks' funeral the place...

Whatever did happen to Kweisi Mfume? You remember Kweisi, that one-time Baltimore youth hell-raiser who sired five children out of wedlock – but who reformed himself enough to get elected to Congress and then president of the NAACP. He is currently running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator from Maryland. So what did Kweisi do on Saturday, Oct. 15? Well, he enlisted as one of the speakers at Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement" event – the 10th anniversary of the (alleged) "Million Man March," which never reached anywhere near that number, then or on the 15th. The Washington Post...

Forty years ago, more than 250,000 people, over 50,000 of them white, marched on Washington led by Dr. Martin Luther King. This past weekend, several thousands of blacks led by the "serpent in the garden," Louis Farrakhan, staged their second version of same. Forty years ago, blacks, whites, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, ad nauseum locked arms and marched to end social injustice. This past weekend, the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Southern Leadership Conference, the Congressional Black Caucus, Jackson, Sharpton and others of their persuasion locked arms with Farrakhan to foment hatred, rage, immiseration, lies and distortion. On that day...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan accused the federal government of "criminal neglect" for its slow response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, during a rally on Saturday marking the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March. Speaking to thousands of African-Americans gathered on the National Mall, he also urged minorities and the poor to work together to improve their lives. In his speech, the highlight of the daylong event, Farrakhan asked why the government did a better job helping the citizens of Florida last year, and why so few lives were lost, when the state was...

RUSH: We got great audio sound bites from Calypso Louie coming up. Calypso Louie's -- what is this thing being called tomorrow? The Million More March. You know, tomorrow is a fascinating day, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow is showdown Saturday. This is Open Line Friday. Tomorrow is a Saturday that will test aspirations. It will test hopes and dreams. Will they reject the past and look to building a better future? If you think I'm talking about the referendum in Iraq, you're only partially correct. I am talking about that. They're going to be voting on the constitution there tomorrow....

No, this is not about the Rev. Louis Farrakhan and his march in D.C. Instead, it’s about an article today (15 October) in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer entitled, “ 'Slave syndrome' may still affect black behavior.” The thesis of the professor appears in the early paragraphs: “The troubling images of African Americans displaced by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans' impoverished neighborhoods didn't startle researcher Joy DeGruy-Leary. ‘All Katrina did was reveal what was already there. I wasn't confused, wasn't surprised,’ she said.... “DeGruy-Leary, an assistant professor in Portland State University's Graduate School of Social Work, will discuss her theory of the...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 /U.S. Newswire/-- The Millions More Movement weekend will kick off Oct. 14 with a powerful Black Family Conference entitled: "Reparations, Healing, and Hurricane Katrina."

October 7, 2005 RECLAIMING OUR DESTINY: THE NEW BLACK VANGUARD CONFERENCE II (10/11/05)Black Conservatives To Address Farrakhan’s Millions More Movement; Racism and Hurricane Katrina; Bill Bennett’s Comments and More in D.C. Los Angeles- What role did racism play in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Are establishment Black leaders exercising legitimate moral authority or simply fleecing their constituencies? Just days in advance of the Millions More Movement event slated for Washington, DC on October 14-16, prominent Black conservatives from across America will gather to address these and other timely issues confronting Black Americans and the nation at large. The Brotherhood Organization...

Moral poverty cost blacks in New Orleans © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:What would you do?What would you do if you were black? Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question....

The Politics Of Division Destroy Racial Equality By Kevin Fobbs Hurricane Katrina clearly demonstrated that there are two Americas which Detroiters, metro Detroiters, and many suburban cities bordering on urban centers around the nation share. Each has been bound by an unbreakable bond between racial myths and actual facts. The racially charged rumors that circulated throughout the nation's black communities concerning what many black New Orleans evacuees had been whispering during those first desperate days in the aftermath Hurricane Katrina devastation were clear and convincing to many black Americans. Washington Post columnist, Eugene Robinson had heard it too: that the...

Falwell, Farrakhan, and the ADL's Selective Outrage By Don Feder FrontPageMagazine.com | August 23, 2005 The Anti-Defamation League ostensibly exists to oppose anti-Semitism. And it does – on occasion – when it isn’t too busy bashing evangelicals, fighting Christianity and creating double standards. Despite its reputation, the ADL is not a Jewish organization. There’s nothing distinctly Jewish (i.e., grounded in Jewish law) about its operations. It’s really just another left-wing group, with a leftist agenda. Politically, it is virtually indistinguishable from the American Civil Liberties Union, People for the American Way, or Americans United for the (so-called) Separation of Church...

Florida's beaches will be the draw this weekend as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hosts a swanky retreat at a Destin resort to help boost its membership among affluent 30- to 40-year-olds. With registration starting at $325, a golf tourney on Sunday and massages i n between, the National Leadership 500 Summit that started Thursday and runs through Sunda y likely will be an exclusive gathering of the country's young black elite. And that's exactly what the NAACP is hoping for. "I have issued a call to my peer group," said Roslyn Brock, 39, summit creator...

The police chief of New Orleans today backed off plans to pay $15,000 to a Nation of Islam leader to give "sensitivity training" to the cities police officers after criticism from local religious leaders. While Chief Eddie Compass initially announced the plan as he sat next to controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, whose fiery sermons and pronouncements have been criticized as racist and anti-Semitic, the city's top cop is now distancing himself from the controversial leader. Compass argued the Nation of Islam's security chief, Capt. Dennis Muhammad, had successfully implemented the program in other cities, including Buffalo, reported...

One year ago, I wrote a piece exposing radical Islam within Florida Atlantic University (FAU). My goal was twofold: [1] to bring awareness concerning a growing problem within FAU [2] to push the university to take action so that this problem ceases to exist. Unfortunately, only the first part of my goal was accomplished, as FAU is continuing to allow radicals on its campus, the latest being this Saturday'S (Jan.22, 2005) return engagement of potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Siraj Wahhaj. The Enemy Thrives at FAU In recent times, a fairly large list of...

On its website, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) proudly proclaims its mission -- "To stop the defamation of the Jewish people … to secure justice and fair treatment for all." But when a Democratic ex-president supports a march by the most notorious anti-Semite and hatemonger in America, the ADL runs for cover. Bill Clinton has endorsed Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Million More March (scheduled for October 14-15, 2005, in Washington, D.C.). The event will mark the 10th anniversary of Farrakhan’s so-called Million Man March of 1995. (The 100,000-man march probably would be more accurate.) In an exclusive interview with the Amsterdam News,...

Ex-President Bill Clinton is endorsing Nation of Islam chief Minister Louis Farrakahan's "Millions More Movement" over the objections of the Anti-Defamation League, which is urging top politicians to avoid the October event because they say that both Farrakhan and march organizer Malik Zulu Shabazz are anti-Semitic. "I think this is a very positive idea," Clinton told the Amsterdam News this week in an interview from his Harlem office. "I like the idea of a march," he continued. "It's fine to be concerned about [homeland] security, but we also have to keep trying to make America strong and better here at...

My oh my, time certainly does fly by. It seems like just yesterday that the Million Man March was held on the Mall in Washington, D.C. In fact it's been nearly ten years since, according to most estimates, considerably less than the hoped-for number converged on the nation's capital at the behest of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Come October, he'll be looking to do it all again. It was billed as "a day of atonement and reconciliation." An October day for black men to take responsibility for themselves and for their families. A day for black men to...

NEW YORK - Saddened and disheartened by their possible involvement in the "Millions More Movement", the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is urging prominent African-American leaders to reconsider their support for the march and its anti-Semitic organizers, Minister Louis Farrakhan and Malik Zulu Shabazz. Organizers scheduled a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to discuss plans for the October 14-16 march, which will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March on Washington. In a letter to more than 30 prominent Black leaders listed as supporting the march, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr....

Remembering The Zebra Killings By James Lubinskas FrontPageMagazine.com | August 30, 2001 MOST SERIAL KILLINGS in America take on a life of their own through movies, books and documentaries. The crimes of Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer and The Son Sam are still well remembered years after they committed. Yet there is one set of serial killings that been almost completely forgotten and is rarely mentioned popular culture. The Zebra Killings occurred in the Francisco bay area between 1972 1974 and left 71 people dead. They were dubbed the Zebra because of the radio channel used the police investigating the case...

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects. But the reality is that there has been close cooperation between Muslim extremists and Fascists ever since the founding of the Nazi movement in the 1920`s. For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and...

November 5, 2004 — A rare political summit took place this morning on a Chicago radio station. Reverend Jesse Jackson and Minister Louis Farrakhan were on the air discussing what African Americans can expect the next four years. It was the first time the two prominent black leaders had appeared on the same, live radio program on Chicago's WVON. The show was picked up by fifty other stations around the country and streamed on the internet. Both men agreed that after the Kerry loss, there is a greater than ever need for African-American unity. "All of us need to come...

Louis Farrakhan Criticizes Bush, Kerry; Pushes for Slave Reparations By Melanie Coffee Associated Press Writer Published: Feb 29, 2004 CHICAGO (AP) - In a speech peppered with criticisms of President Bush, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on Sunday pressed for America and England to grant slave reparations. Farrakhan, speaking at the final session of the Nation of Islam's annual meeting, also voiced support for Michael Jackson and warned blacks against supporting the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. "Black people are so angry with President Bush that they're willing to give Senator Kerry a free...

<p>It was only a matter of time before Michael Jackson's global network of loyal fans said something about their hero's involvement with the Nation of Islam.</p> <p>Last night I spoke with Deborah Dannelly, president of the Michael Jackson Fan Clubs. She presides over 16,000 fans from all over the world, comprising different religions, countries, faiths and skin colors. This group of fans have been Jackson's steadfast supporters, sticking with him through accusations of child molestation, baby dangling and skin lightening.</p>

OS ANGELES, Dec. 29 — Officials from the Nation of Islam, a separatist African-American Muslim group, have moved in with Michael Jackson and are asserting control over the singer's business affairs, friends, employees and business associates of Mr. Jackson said.Initially invited to the Neverland Ranch several weeks ago to provide security for Mr. Jackson, members of the Nation of Islam are now restricting access to him and have begun making decisions for him related to the news media, his business affairs and even his legal strategy, some of Mr. Jackson's friends and associates said. Mr. Jackson faces charges of child...

A book written with truth, wisdom and insight shouldn't be revolutionary.  Unfortunately, reporting facts about black America can be downright subversive.  In his new book, , Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson ("the other Jesse") tells it like it is.  He is the founder and president of the successful non-profit  (BOND), whose purpose is "rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man".Rarely do I come across writing as brutally honest as my own when dealing with the black community.  Liberals in general won't like it, liberal blacks in particular will hate it, and conservatives will wonder what took so long.  SCAM is a...

JACKO FLACKOReport: Jackson converts to IslamPaper says pop star joined Louis Farrakhan's flock last night Posted: December 18, 20039:16 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Last night, on the eve of child-molestation charges being filed against him, Michael Jackson converted to Islam, reports the New York Post.

Poor Spike Lee. The director/actor/ad creator/bombastic New York Knicks fan can’t get enough attention. He hasn’t had a hit at the box office, his ads for bankrupt Kmart went unnoticed, and his beloved Knicks are out of action until next season. No Page Six photos of Lee in his usual Madison Square Garden courtside conniptions. But Spike Lee craves publicity. So he found the next best way to get it. By suing Viacom over its new male-oriented Spike TV cable network (formerly TNN). In a clearly frivolous lawsuits, Lee is seeking an injunction against Viacom’s use of the name Spike...

Nation of Islam leader’s son jailed May 11, 2003  By Michael Puente / Post-Tribune staff writer VALPARAISO — The 44-year-old son of Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan was arrested by the Indiana State Police following a hit-and-run incident early Saturday afternoon. Nasir H. Farrakhan of the 4800 block of Woodlawn in Chicago was being held at the Porter County Jail here on probable cause for multiple charges resulting from the collision with another vehicle. The probable cause charges are: — Operating a vehicle while intoxicated. — Driving with a suspended license. — Leaving the scene of personal injury...

Desperate times make black leaders more desperate This just in: The black "leadership" has spoken and war is not the answer. Though some 70 percent of Americans support the impending war against Iraq, you won't find a corresponding pro-American outcry from the black community. And it's no wonder: The reason that most blacks don't support the war is that most of their leaders are against it. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus and a cornucopia of embittered black church leaders and a slew of civil-rights degenerates have come out vocally and vengefully against the war. Let us go...

<p>To say that Kola Boof is the target of a fatwa sentencing her to death for blaspheming Islam only begins to tell the story of this controversial Sudanese-born author.</p> <p>Boof, who is now under the protection of U.S. government agents, told WorldNetDaily that her first book about women who live under Islam prompted a phone call from Osama bin Laden, with whom she had become acquainted in Marrakesh, Morocco.</p> <p>"If I had the time, I would come there and slit your throat myself," she recalls bin Laden saying in February 1998.</p>

Buried in a Washington Post story about sniper suspect John Muhammad was the revelation that the Reverend Al Archer, the director of a homeless shelter, thought that Muhammad may have been a terrorist and he called the FBI. Muhammad had been staying at the shelter. The Post reported, "After Sept. 11, 2001, when the newspapers were full of tales of terrorist sleepers, Archer said he began to wonder whether the quiet and super-fit Muhammad was one. In mid-October, Archer did something he had never before done in his three decades of running ministries to the homeless: He phoned the FBI...

On another thread I mentioned that it would be interesting to get video of John Mohammed guarding Calypso Louie as he gave that silly speech about the relationship between the numbers "9" and "1" at the Million Man March in DC several years ago. At the time everybody laughed off that speech because of Calypso Louie's obsession with those numbers. After I made the post, Mr. K pointed out that there might be a connection between Calypso Louie's bizarre obsession with "9" and "1" and 9-11. Was that terrorist event somehow connected with Calypso Louie's perceived obsession with those numbers?...

Says he advised Bush not to attack Speaking yesterday at his former mosque, the Rev. Louis Farrakhan warned that the United States would suffer more terrorist attacks from Islamic extremists should President Bush initiate war against a ''weak'' and ''defenseless'' Iraq. Farrakhan, returning to Muhammad's Mosque No. 11 in Dorchester's Grove Hall, where he preached in the 1970s, told reporters that he warned Bush in a letter in December not to arouse the anger of the Muslim world by attacking Iraq. The president did not respond to the letter, he said. But with the country on the brink of war...

I just love it when listeners go out there and do a little digging for me. That’s where this little bit came from. A few days ago I was reading one of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s stories about the Cynthia McKinney campaign. The article, which appeared on August 3rd, identified someone named Wendell Muhammad as McKinney’s “campaign coordinator.” Wendell Muhammad is also known to some folks as Wendell Arnold. Muhammad … that’s sort of an Arabic/Islamic sounding name, isn’t it? Anyway .. turn the clocks back to March 18, 2000. Here we have a wire story from the Associated Press in...
