Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is telling his followers that the levees in New Orleans may have been deliberately "blown up" to kill the city's black population.
The influential preacher was in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday, where he detailed his Hurricane Katrina conspiracy theory.
"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.
The Muslim minister also blasted both FEMA and the Red Cross, saying their response to Katrina victims after the levees were blown up was inadequate.
Tin foil alert!!!
Nation of Islam?
Maybe Louis did it to start a riot?
Whitey's fault!
I heard this the other day ... they were blown up?!?!
Let me get this straight ... a guy who believes ->
#1 A black mad scientist created white people
#2 A group of UFO's circling the Earth are going to rescue all the black population in the future.
Need we go on?
This is getting really close to yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater, to me. What a JERK.
Nation of Islam...
What do you expect?
Of course, even HE doesn't believe this.
But that's beside the point.
He has no proof, just a big mouth.
The "black" part of town? This idiot obviously has never set foot in New Orleans to make such an ignorant statement.
I think it was Jessie. He could raise more money for himself that way by screaming what an outrage this racism was! /sarcasm! Joke, just kidding, etc. :-)
No name to the source. And the crater could have been caused by rushing water?
Exactly...what was that rap song awhile back that had the line, 'Why did Bush blow up the Towers'..." Conspiracy crap.
The sad thing is that Howard Dean will be spewing this in the next presidential election.
I am tired of getting oppressed by the man.
Cool!
Now all those screaming "Bush's fault" know who stands with them.
They done blowed it up good Louie!
I read that four of the five hardest hit parishes in LA are majority white. It seems that no one counts unless they were at the superdome or convention center.
