Louis Farrakhan’s ties to politicians and celebrities run deep
New York Post ^ | July 18, 2020 | Jon Levine

It was all smiles when Louis Farrakhan strode into a weekly luncheon for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC, where he had been invited to address the most powerful black lawmakers in the country.

The year was 2005, and the Nation of Islam boss was greeted by a new up-and-comer among their ranks, a senator from Illinois — Barack Obama.

“He is much better looking than I am,” Obama said, according to Askia Muhammad, a photographer who snapped an image of the future president glad-handing the divisive, anti-Semitic minister.

Muhammad — recognizing the potentially dangerous impact the photo could have on Obama’s well-known White House ambitions — kept the picture buried for 13 years before releasing the image in his book “The Autobiography of Charles 67X” in 2018.

Obama has repeatedly denounced Farrakhan when asked about him.

Muhammad — a Nation of Islam member — was probably right to be worried. In his decades in public life, Farrakhan has attacked Jewish people as “satanic;” publicly questioned the Holocaust; blamed Jews for the African slave trade; condemned Judaism as a “dirty religion;” and praised Hitler as a “great man” — financed by Jews.

He has called white people “potential humans” and accused the “white right” of trying to have Obama assassinated. Nation of Islam theology holds that white people are a creation of an evil black scientist named Yakub. Gay marriage is also “satanic” and was only introduced to Africa by whites.

He also denies Osama bin Laden planned the 9/11 attacks, calling it a “false flag operation” meant to divert American attention away from President Bush “stealing” the 2000 election.

Blacks are more likely to be racist than whites and commit the majority of interracial crimes, but saying that will get you fired from Cisco.

Did Farrakhan arrive in DC aboard the mothership with Prophet Elijah Muhammad?

Even Malcolm X caught on to their BS. Which is why Farrakhan had him killed.

Nation of Islam is listed as a hate group by SLPC.

Make the Leftist politicians play by their own rules.

Disassociate or be publicly scorned and rebuked.

Can you imagine the uproar if it were David Duke invited to speak to a White Congressional Caucus.

Farrakhan is due to walk into an open manhole. I think his luck is running out. Somehow, someday, I think it’ll happen, but it’ll be too late to stop the videos from going viral.

Why hasn’t Duke University changed its name? Having the same name as David Duke shows their complicity with white supremacy.
