Fascinating -- and chilling -- history of racial hate mongering in NYC.

Wow.....things never taught in school. Makes one happy Al Gore Invented the internet.

[P.O.E.]

The tactic was an old one, unleash violence and then claim to be the only ones who could bottle it up.

The old "never let a crisis go to waste" sort of thing.

Not to be confused with Girl Hitler from The Venture Bros. on [adult swim].

"You mess with the girl, you get the Hitler!"

Excellent historical account.

These guys are such clowns...they usually go for bizarre royal dress and accoutrements that they believe to be Arabic or Egyptian...that it’s hard to remember that they actually are quite vicious and that many blacks take them seriously.

There was (and still is) a group of them that gathers in their ridiculous get-ups to shriek hate-filled racial conspiracy theories and anti-white and anti-Semitic nonsense across 7th Ave from the 34th St Macy’s. And they are always surrounded by a nodding and occasionally fist-pumping audience of young black guys.

Fascinating article...

Imperial Japan's simultaneous cultivation of Muslims in order to subvert the British Empire, also led to ties between Japanese officials and the Nation of Islam's Elijah Muhammad. The Moorish Science Temple, a more explicit fusion of Islam, Asiatic exoticism and Black Nationalism, another pseudo-Islamic cult operating out of Chicago.

What an interesting factoid...

The POTUS would have fit right in...

Not long after, the mosque became a dance hall featuring a one legged dancer.

I love a happy ending.
