A splintered black community will not see an end to the violence afflicting inner cities. White people must accept responsibility for their role in destroying the black community.
And America needs to start targeting the unseen gun runners selling guns to gang bangers.
All those were among the messages controversial Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered to a packed house at St. Sabina Catholic Church on Friday.
“Our children are out there killing themselves and one another. My beloved brother lost his daughter to senseless violence,” Farrakhan said of Nathaniel Pendleton — father of 15-year-old murder victim Hadiya Pendleton — sitting in a front row. “And the two young men they have are just babies — crazy, irrational, savage with a gun in their hands.”
“Most of the weapons that are in our community are illegal weapons sold to our children by enemies who know how they are going to use them,” he said. “They put boys in jail, but what about those bringing the guns in? Those who bring them in should be decapitated.”
Only days after his annual Saviour’s Day speech drawing thousands of the Muslim group’s followers, Farrakhan closed out St. Sabina’s Black History Month Speaker’s Series before an audience of 1,000 — equally mixed with members of that congregation and the Nation.
In a 90-minute speech, lines between the Quran and the Bible became blurred as Farrakhan, whose group brought an anti-violence presence to the streets of the South Side last year, urged blacks — historically predominantly Christian — to ignore differences in religion.
“Only somebody who’s confused would pit one against the other. A man who knows the root knows we’re all speaking the same language,” he said of Christianity and Islam.
“Jesus himself said, ‘Of myself, I can do nothing.’ ‘I’ can’t do anything, but ‘we’ can. It’s going to take all of us to change the reality of our situation, all of us working together to solve the problems that we face. So I am both a Christian and a Muslim.”
Fiery and humorous — immaculate in charcoal gray, pin-striped suit and crisp white shirt, gold tie and kerchief — Farrakhan seemed at home among the trappings of Catholicism.
There was no mention of the Jewish religion that has brought past controversy.
And the unity theme carried over in references between the 78-year-old minister and his host, activist priest the Rev. Michael Pfleger, himself no stranger to controversy.
Pfleger described Farrakhan as “my friend, my brother, a mentor,” and “one of the most lied upon people by people who want to demonize him so that you won’t hear his message.”
Farrakhan praised Pfleger’s recent efforts to help area gang members change their lives, through a basketball league, G.E.D.’s and jobs, calling him “a true disciple of Christ.”
Farrakhan skimmed the trajectory of black history, laying accountability for many ills at the foot of white people, with comments that have led some whites to label him racist.
“They say, ‘Farrakhan, you people have called white people devils.’ Now white folks have not been saints. Would Christ approve of slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, racial injustice? Well if Christ wouldn’t do it, how can you as a Christian sanction that?” Farrakhan said. “White people know that they have raised hell on this planet. But guess what? They made us just like themselves. We are all messed up. But Jesus said, ‘Behold. I make all things new.’ So all of us have access to the mercy and forgiveness of Jesus.
Farrakhan criticized blacks for many of the ills, particularly for non-existent or bad parenting. And he said the ignorant youth wreaking havoc with guns could learn from the Nation’s example — men who exude power, without carrying weapons. But America should target the harshest punishment to those who are the source of those guns, he maintained, “I have the right to feel that way when I see 500 of our babies dead in one year,” he said.
Louis Farrakhan tells Michigan church white people afraid of becoming minority - March 03, 2013 - ( GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.) -- Chicago-based Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says white people are promoting birth control for black women because they fear becoming a minority in the United States.He says white Americans will lose their majority by 2050 and says they've introduced birth control to black women "because they don't want no more black babies."
Farrakhan: Unified black community can end the violence, white LIBERALS should accept responsibility......there, fixed it...........
White liberals...specifically, Lyndon Baines Johnson when he started the “war on poverty” and caused the split of black families....
Revelation 21:8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Farrakhan has it all wrong. He needs to use the example set by Kenya, SA, and zimbabwe, where all dissent in a tribal-feudal society is resolved by hacking your opponent to bits with a machete. And as an added bonus, it would comply with sharia law. So Louis, take away all of the guns from your followers, give them machetes, and pray to allah that those machetes make your followers bulletproof.
Beofre the early ‘60’s, black families were a closer knit family group than the white families were...
Johnson paying out money to unwed and single mothers ruined that family unity....
Oh yes...and tropical African races have such a peachy track record of being the epitome of the well behaved?
bet before slavery all was so cool and peaceful in sub Saharan Africa before mean old white guys came and screwed it all up
I know this for a fact...I saw Roots you know
there is a lot of vacant land in Africa Louis...there ain't nothing stopping you hoss...catch that train...Louis...catch that train
“Black culture” didn’t really exist as a separate entity till around the same time when the democrats needed a separation to cut blacks out of the GOP herd.
Leave it to a muslim to bring decapitation into the conversation...
White people MUST be blamed.
Racism MUST continue.
If not, Farakhan, Jesse, Al, and them would e out of things to preach about. Their cashcow would die. If they can’t find racism, it is in their best interest to manufacter some. Or else their money stops. It is in their best interest for black people to stay down... stay drug infested... stay poor... keep killing each other... keep blaming whitey for acting like uncivilzed third world animals.
“We must all work together”
“We must unite”
“Young people”
These phrases have been spoken in speeches a million times for a thousand years.
But this once, just this once its going to work because race-baiting, whitey-hating, anti-Christian, moozlm Farakhan said it.
I would love to hear an honest speech from this scum.
“Kill all white people”
Thats an honest speech from this racist.
Agreed, what a mind boggling statement.
So, you want to decapitate people whose homes have burglarized? I think I hear your mother ship calling, Louie. However, if you're talking about the robbers, I'm all in,
it’s not that simple
they were already split...the Dems just triple it...from 25% illegitimacy 1962 to who knows...60-80% in American blacks today
but hey...don’t feel racist or exclusionary
since 60s, white illegitimacy went from 1% to 20%
and that ain’t helped either...just look around..anyone over 45 knows what I mean...we are now officially depraved
pray tell...there is no Great Society in the Congo
how come their illegitimacy rate approaches universal?
how did white people or liberal politics screw that up?
or better yet....try Haiti...same thing...nuclear families mostly confined to the rich...is their liberal Democrat policies there too?...and Haiti is a place I know well
and so it goes
don’t fall for easy answers just cause their are easier to place blame
liberal interfering is bad news...yes Virginia...but it ain’t the whole picture..wish it was...it would be easier to fix
Look FairyCon, I never owned a slave.
Never refused to hire a qualified black person.
Never took money a black person earned so I could sit on my butt and I am completely fed up with the black this, black that, black, black, black crap which seems to occupy every waking moment in the “black community’s mind”.
If some Klan with a Tan does not mention race during the day I never even think about it but they are pushing their self imposed victim-hood and self imposed ignorance, and self imposed government plantation living to a point where I an now experiencing thoughts that never came to mind.
I see many others who did not have the advantage of being born in this country,coming here not knowing the language and not even using the same alphabet, making their way up the ladder of success and can only wonder why those who did not have to suffer such hurdles seem to stay at the back of the pack.
FairyCon, Jackson, Sharpton, Obama, Holder, Van Jones, Shelia Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Cynthia Mckinney,... do more damage to the “black community” than the KKK ever did every time they open their racist, America hating, mouths.
This country is becoming exactly like the USA in the book: “The Turner Diaries”. What was a work of racist fiction has become a highly accurate book of prophecy.
What, you mean by giving them welfare and setting up the "Great Society" the Lyndon Johsnon promise would "Have them N*ggers voting Democrat for decades"
You mean like that?
Look at all the worst $hitholes in the country, Farasshole, and tell me which ones are NOT nearly 100% democrat.
Farrakhan need to tell his fellow black racists to accept some responsibility. He could start with the black woman whose kid slammed a car door into my car yesterday. When I brought it to her attention, I was called a white bitch for my trouble.

If by “unify” he means that black men marry and stay with the women they impreagnate then I agree.
