The day before Memorial Day, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan lamented that Mexico had lost territory to America due to the Mexican-American War and disparaged American military action around the globe.
The poorly-timed rant took place in San Diego in front of a partially Hispanic audience. The oft controversial minister began by disparaging “White Mexicans” of Spanish decent before announcing that “Africans were in that part of the World [Mexico] maybe before [Mexicans] got there.” The minister lamented that illegal Mexicans are called “aliens” and declared that Americans “ought to be praising the Mexicans because we living on land that was once theirs.”
Farrakhan went on to declare that he was “sad that Mexico lost California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado” after the Mexican-American War “trickery.” This led to the minister generalizing about the American people as “a people that make war and blame the person they makin’ war on and then take your land.”
However, The minister sounded overjoyed that minority births outnumber white births in America, according to recent US Census reports. Given the news, Farrakhan noted that white people will soon “be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.” He also projected that minorities will soon “become governor of every state.
The USA. The only country you can fight in a war and pray that you lose to.
“During the Mexican-American War, Andrés Pico commanded the Mexican forces, the California Lancers, in Alta California. In 1846 Pico led an attack on forces commanded by U.S. General Stephen Watts Kearny at the Battle of San Pasqual, where Kearny’s command was dealt a hard blow. In 1847, Andrés Pico was appointed as the acting Governor of Mexican Alta California, serving briefly in opposition to the U.S. provisional government established in 1846. On January 13, 1847, concerned that General Kearny might execute him, Andrés Pico signed the Treaty of Cahuenga with the American commander Lieutenant-Colonel John C. Frémont. It was an informal agreement between rival military forces, which ended the Mexican-American War battles in California. Andrés’ brother, Pío Pico was the last official Mexican Governor of the province. Gen Andrés Pico was one of the signatories of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in 1848 formally ceding all of Mexico’s Alta California territory to the United States.
After California became an American state in 1850, Andrés Pico and other residents became United States citizens with full legal and voting rights. He remained in the new State of California. In 1853, Pico acquired a half interest in Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando from Eulogio de Celis; it was split along present-day Roscoe Boulevard, with Pico’s land being the southern half of the San Fernando Valley to the Santa Monica Mountains.
He was elected to the California State Assembly from Los Angeles in 1851. He authored what was known as the Pico Bill in February 1859, to divide California. The bill proposed to create the “Territory of Colorado” from the southern counties of the state. The bill passed both houses of the state legislature and was signed by the Governor John B. Weller on April 18, 1859. But, the split was never put into effect because the U.S. Congress did not act on the bill.
In 1858 Pico was commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Militia. He was elected by the state legislature as a California State Senator from Los Angeles in 1860. In debt, Andrés Pico sold his half-interest in the Rancho ex-Mission San Fernando to his brother Pío Pico in 1862. He retired as a Californio ranchero in Los Angeles.
Pico never married, but adopted several children. Don Andrés Pico died in Los Angeles in 1876.”
Not if you count everyone with at least 1 white great-grandparent as white.
Well, since he is a member of Holders people, and they came here and did the same thing (not all were slaves and those who were helped in the fight to make America) then I guess he’s ready to gather up all of Holders people and go back to Africa so the Native Americans can have it back?
I’m 1/4 Cheyenne and I don’t think I’m going to be leaving.
If he is talking about the Mexican people then he better understand that they took it from the Indians as well when the Spanish came here.
Farrakhan is a full blown loon.
I live in Maine.....also, 98% white. We elected a white TEA Party guy as governor in 2010.
Also, what is now California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, etc. have been part of America since the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848. That’s 164 years.
Mexico received it’s independence from Spain in 1821.
The area that compromise the above mentioned states was part of an independent Mexico for only 27 years.....even less for Texas, which was an independent country from 1836 to 1846.
Plus, we paid Mexico for those western territories at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War.
Farrakhan can go join him buddy Kaddafhi in hell.
err,....”him” should be “his.”
Not the country they TOOK, rather the country they BUILT.
By his logic, negroes are “guest workers?”
If that's the way he chooses to look at it as many do, what is he doing here sharing in the spoils?
“Zimmerman Memo - ~1914 — Germany secretly offered to help Mexico take back the US territory it had lost, and to give them money to do it, but Mexican government said, “Heck, no! Everybody has guns up there.” (US history, short and sweet version).”
And one hundred years later, Mexico is on the verge of taking back that territory — not with guns, but with babies.
Mr. Farrakhan may be as nutty as they come, but his observation in the title line is dead-on.
Or, to steal a line from Jim Morrison of The Doors, “they got the guns, but we got the numbers!” (”Five to One”)….
Somebody ought to clue Calypso Louie in to the fact that non black Hispanics have no great love for blacks
Ask the blacks in the prisons
Farrakhan: Soon Whites ‘Will Be the Minority’
In numbers only..........
On the brighter side, he’s 79.
The hilarious part of this is that the non-white minorities that will be in the majority are far less tolerant than the whites to the antics, bad behavior, and greed of the blacks.
Seriously, Hispanics have no tolerance to a lot of the nonsense that blacks get away with due to white guilt. They also have zero interest in funding black welfare. Racial profiling? No problem.
Asians? Yup. Much the same.
Didn’t you read what he said. Blacks were probably here first.
and the white man stole all their science and mathematics from Africans, don’t you know.
And the white man was created by some mad black scientist. and that’s what they get for playing God.
“Obviously Calypso Louie doesn’t know his history well”
Racist BASTARD Calypso Louie needs to burn in Hell.
Michelle Obama was right. There is still racism in the US.
The LAND we “took”, absolutely.
The Country we MADE. There was no United States of America until we formed it as a nation.
On land we took. Continuing the great tradition of agricultural societies displacing horticultural societies.
When are the Turks going to give back Asia Minor to the Greeks? Never? OK then.
When are the Normans going to give England back to the Saxons? Never? OK then.
So why should we give back one inch of land that we took?
Farrakhan isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. His constituents either get to play victim forever or they have to get off their @sses and do something about their self-perceived victimization.
Guess which one they’ll choose.
We are already witnessing the slow demise of the USA as the white population percentage decreases. Oh, I know the demise will be blamed on everything but that fact just like the left makes excuses for every failure of various minorities.
FairyCon’s people will have to get off their welfare a$$e$, stop snorting cocaine, pull their pants up, stop singing about killing cops or their whore women, learn to speak properly and get a job once whitey’s money dries up.
The good news is that this old racist bastard won’t live to see it!
