Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan continued his college speaking tour on Monday night at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
While his address included many of the racially-charged elements we’ve heard in other related lectures, the minister added in some new comments about whites, his personal experience with using marijuana and he even showered some praise upon conservative commentator Pat Buchanan.
In addressing whites, Farrakhan issued his typically-offensive rhetoric.
“They know you, but you don’t know them or yourself, so you’re always at a disadvantage when you sit down with white people to negotiate,” he told his predominately black audience. “We don’t ever come in their presence like we are some little weak things.”
He continued, going on to address Caucasians directly.
“I know myself. I know you. And some of you white people – I know you better than you know yourself because God has revealed you fully,” he explained, going on to seemingly claim that he has a special, God-ordained ability to see what others cannot.
This, of course, was followed up with a cryptic warning to white Americans about their need to “change.”
“It ain’t about hating you. We ain’t got no time for that. But we know who we’re dealing with. We know what we’re dealing with,” he said. “We know your origin in the world and we know how long you were set to live and unless you change, your end has come.”
Farrakhan subsequently delved back into the omniscience that has purportedly been bestowed upon him.
“You can’t talk like this unless you know God. I don’t just talk about God or talk about Jesus … Jesus spoke like this. That’s why he was hated,” the minister said. “Why do you think people don’t like Farrakhan – what have I done?”
But such pious talk about Jesus was short-lived, as the minister began speaking about his use of marijuana at a young age.
“I’ve never been arrested. I did smoke reefers when I was young,” he told his audience. “When I smoked joints they were only 50 cents.”
While Farrakhan’s racial rhetoric and personal stories about marijuana use were certainly colorful, the most curious and awe-inspiring portion of his address came immediately following these sentiments when he praised Buchanan as “a great Republican.”
“But we have to say to Republicans, one great Republican — Patrick Buchanan wrote a book that they [Republicans] spent $40 trillion dollars on black people. I don‘t know whether it’s that much, but that’s what he said,” Farrakhan said. “Every time there’s a problem they throw money at it. And all the money they threw, the problem is yet not solved — cause it’s not money that will solve the problem alone.”
It’s noteworthy that Buchanan has drawn the ire of Abraham H. Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, among others, for his purported anti-Semitism. In fact, on March 16, the ADL released an article condemning both Farrakhan and Buchanan.

Reminds me of why I love the 2nd Amendment
He likes Pat over their agreement on the Jewish “problem” in America and on abandoning Israel. White racists with the Neo-Nazis met with the NOI back in the late 90’s and re-affirmed a common hatred - the Jews.
American Jews don’t seem to mind the President’s favoratism of crazy Louis. They used to object when he ranted at Universities but I guess he does not target the Jews out in the open like he used to. He only spews on “whites” so I guess that is okay.
If the left’s hatred of Jews gets out of our hands it will take on a life of it’s own with a centralized government filled with pepole with no respect for human life, no morals, no ethics and no loyality to the constitutional rights of people.
One group the Hispanic racists and Black racists - in fact all diversity of racists - agree to hate is Jews. It’s not harmless.
Of course not - we’ve got to throw money at it and buy your racist, affirmative-action bull$hit too.
That is the fact that liberalism has lavished money on minorities through set-asides, preferences in hiring and promotion, college admissions programs, direct payments, subsidized rents, and food grants of one sort or another for 50, 60, 70 years now, to very little discernible good effect. The money has in large proportions been wasted, so much so that wags and cynics sometimes mordantly observe (as with the Hurricane "Katrina" relief spending) that it would be simpler to give every black family in America a periodic grant of $500,000 cash, than to try to operate the vast and ruinously expensive machinery of "relief", "assistance", and "social justice".
Of course, liberal misfeasance and the liberals' spite-filled spew against Unbelievers like us have provided Farrakhan with a pretty good grift as a racial-grievance strip-miner. His entire Wallace Fard White-Hating Club exists because of race politics' commensal relationship with liberal politics.
Neither is American Jewry's imperviousness to reason, when it's time to pull the lever for a straight Democratic ticket. What was Obama's share of the Jewish vote this time?
What's it going to take?
“...a racial-grievance strip-miner.”
Nicely put!
Thenk kyew! &;)
