Good find, Mags! I just zapped it to his site. :-)
Interesting ... this interview took place days after the Selma march.

Guest: Hashim Nzinga>
LOUIS FARRAKHAN, NATION OF ISLAM LEADER: Although black people looked at
Bill Clinton as a black president, he did less for black people than other
presidents. He’s a beautiful young man. That man has a heck of a chance to
heal wounds and to bring people together.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
COLMES: That was Louis Farrakhan last night on ABC’s Nightline. Joining us
now is the national chief of staff of the New Black Panther Party, Hashim
Nzinga.
Hashim, welcome back to Hannity Colmes. You know, it’s interesting about
Louis Farrakhan talking about Bill Clinton and saying he didn’t do enough
for blacks. Conservatives, who have denounced Louis Farrakhan and everything
he said for years, all of a sudden will embrace him on that particular
comment.
HASHIM NZINGA, NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY: Well, Mr. Farrakhan is well-
studied, as you know. He joined the Nation of Islam at 22 years old. He’s 73
years old now, and he did world travel. He’s been with leaders all around
the country. He knows politics in and out, and Bill Clinton didn’t do
anything for black people.
COLMES: But my point is, the people who have criticized everything he said
are now going to embrace his Clinton remark, but, you know, he’s not exactly
a liberal, though. Didn’t he speak out against interracial marriage?
NZINGA: He should.
COLMES: He’s very much against interracial marriage?
NZINGA: He’s a nationalist. National means you’re building a nation. And
when you’re building a nation, interracial marriages, you can’t build a
nation with interracial marriage.
COLMES: Well, you know, were it not for an interracial marriage, Barack
Obama, who he was just praising, wouldn’t have been born.
NZINGA: Well, we was talking about Bill Clinton.
(CROSSTALK)
COLMES: He was talking about Barack Obama at the end of that clip.
NZINGA: Well, if we’re talking about Obama, it’s still doesn’t change what
nation-building is. Nation-building is, people want a nation of their own.
Black people want to respect being black, like every other race, respect who
they are, and we want to build a nation of our own. And everybody have a
problem with black people want to build a nation of their own. But when
everybody else...
COLMES: Yes, people have a problem with separatism, because we live in a
diverse, multiethnic society. And when you talk about having a separate
nation or separatism in 2007 America, it doesn’t sit well in terms of
progress. You can’t go back to separatism and segregation in this country.
NZINGA: That’s your opinion, sir.
COLMES: That’s only an opinion? You want to go back to a segregated America?
NZINGA: Sir, America is segregated more today than it’s ever been.
COLMES: You want to make it more segregated?
NZINGA: Sir, I want to make black people love themselves again. I want to
make black people, who God brought into this world and existence, with black
pigment in their skin color, be proud of who they are and stop trying to be
who everybody else wants them to be.
COLMES: No, you want separatism, you want segregation. You’re going back
decades to like rulings like Brown v. Board of Education, which have been
overturned — you know, passed by the Supreme Court to overturn segregation.
You want to go back decades to an America that no longer exists.
NZINGA: And I think Charles Hampton Houston (ph), who thought Thurgood
Marshall to be the great lawyer he was, I think Thurgood made a mistake with
Brown v. the Board of Education, because ever since then, we’ve been trying,
as black people, to be somebody we’re not.
HANNITY: All right. Mr. Nzinga, you’re a fan of Farrakhan?
NZINGA: I love Minister Louis Farrakhan, yes, sir.
HANNITY: You love him. All right, do you think Jews are blood suckers?
NZINGA: I think Minister Farrakhan was right in his statement. I think, when
you look at the political machine called the Zionists, who want the Jews to
have a land of their own in Israel, kill Palestinians...
(CROSSTALK)
HANNITY: Hang on a second. Back to the words, though. You think Jews are
blood suckers in the black community?
NZINGA: I think any time a people kill a people abroad, called
Palestinians...
HANNITY: So that means yes?
NZINGA: ... and take their land, they’re blood suckers.
HANNITY: This is a simple — you can even understand this. That means that’s
a yes, you think Jews are blood suckers of the black community?
NZINGA: Yes, sir, I do.
