A black nation in the U.S. -- that's alot of mules.

"By his account, blacks need "payment for the destruction of our minds; the robbery of our language, our culture, our history, our religion, our God, our self-dignity, and our self-worth."

Seems they'd be grateful. Look how those we didn't "rob" in Africa are faring.

[Diogenesis]

When Abdel Razzaq Al-Hashemi and Louis Farrakhan
did confer in Baghdad, Iraq 7/5/02 during Farrakhan's
AntiAmerican tour (ignored by the those who purportedly
enforce the Logan Act), traitor Farrakhan said,
as INA quoted,
"the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq."

Wasn't this guy just stumping for Cynthia McKinney?

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living our of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

By his account, blacks need "payment for the destruction of our minds; the robbery of our language, our culture, our history, our religion, our God, our self-dignity, and our self-worth."

Okay. If you go about blaming all of your perceived problems on your race, you are doing nothing but using a crutch to sail through life. I could bullshit all day about how I'm 1/8 indian and my ancestor's land was taken away, blah dee blah, but what the hell does that prove and why would I let something that didn't happen to me and has no direct affect on my life have any bearing on my self-worth?

Blast from the past:

Q: Will you support reparations for African-Americans?

HILLARY CLINTON: We have mental, emotional and psychological reparations to pay first. We have to admit that we haven’t always treated people in our own country fairly. We have some issues that we have to address when it comes to racial justice right now. I’m willing to work hard to be a strong advocate for Civil Rights and human rights here at home and around the world. I want to do everything I can to make sure that the programs and policies that have helped generations of African-Americans have a better life in this country continue. I think we should be focused on the present and on the future. We owe an apology to African-Americans for hundreds of years of slavery.

Yeah, according to the ajc.com, Farrakhan was at one church last night (and embraced by Jihad Cindy's papa), and will be at two churches today: The Farrakhan-McKinney stuff is at the end of the story:

ELECTION 2002 PRIMARY
Coalition rallies to help
'lift every voice and vote'

 

By MAE GENTRY
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer

	Laura Noel / AJC Billy McKinney, father of Rep. Cynthia McKinney, greets Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as Farrakhan prepares to stump for the controversial congresswoman at the West Hunter Street Baptist Church on Saturday.

With three days left until the primary, candidates for public office braved Saturday's heat to meet voters at a get-out-the-vote rally in south DeKalb County.

 

The rally, held at Gresham Park's athletic field, was sponsored by the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda, a nonpartisan organization headed by the Rev. Joseph Lowery. It was one of many political events held throughout metro Atlanta on the last weekend before election day, including an appearance Saturday night by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on behalf of U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney.

At Gresham Park, volunteer J.R. Lentini hammered "Darden for Congress" campaign signs into the soft wood-chip-covered dirt, even though south DeKalb is not part of the 11th District candidate Buddy Darden seeks to represent.

"We're not campaigning for votes here," Lentini said. "We're campaigning for the democratic process."

Niesha Worthy, 19, registered to vote for the first time at Saturday's event. "I've never done it before, and I've always wanted to participate in something like that," she said.

Seated under a green-and-white tent, Lowery bobbed his head to the beat of a rap song he recorded two years ago, "You Got the Right to Vote." The 80-year-old civil rights veteran talked about his organization's civic efforts.

"Our goal is to improve the quality of governance by promoting an informed and active electorate and responsive elected officials," he said.

Volunteers grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, demonstrated a touch-screen electronic voting machine, the method Georgians will use in November, and offered to register those who turned out.

Candidates distributed campaign literature and spoke to the sparse crowd.

Johnny Panos, who left a Scottdale parade to come to Gresham Park, said he had attended many forums during his campaign for DeKalb State Court judge. "One of the things that's been disappointing to me is . . . there haven't been a lot of voters," Panos said.

Saturday's "Lift Every Voice and Vote" rally was no exception. People came and went, but no more than a few dozen were present at any time.

Phyllis E. Turner, a candidate for state school superintendent, shook hands with people in the crowd as she touted her credentials. She said she thought the rally was worthwhile.

"I wanted to connect with the community," she said. "And I knew this was a good way to do it."

Saturday night Farrakhan spoke to the overflowing congregation at the West Hunter Street Baptist Church in the first of three voter rallies he is scheduled to attend this weekend. There will be two today.

Farrakhan has been a supporter of 4th District congresswoman McKinney, and he told an enthusiastic and cheering crowd that McKinney needed their support because she was "a sister who has been there for us."

McKinney is facing her toughest challenge from former DeKalb County State Court judge Denise Majette in the Democratic primary Tuesday, and Majette has received significant financial support from the Jewish community.

Farrakhan said McKinney had been targeted for defeat because she cast votes in Congress against Israel and spoke out in behalf of Palestinians.

"I am looking at a drama being played out," Farrakhan said at the rally. "Cynthia didn't vote right. Cynthia is brass. Cynthia has that gall."

Farrakhan said he was there because he favored McKinney, not because he opposed Majette.

"I guess Ms. Majette is a qualified woman. She has a lot to offer and there's nothing wrong with aspiring to be more than you are," he said. "Judge Majette -- I couldn't come up here and say anything bad about her."

However, Farrakhan said, "We cannot accept a cash payment because a fool and his money will soon part." Instead, he advocated the transfer of "millions" of acres of land from the U.S. government to African Americans. (my emphasis)

So, Farrakhan proclaims that blacks are too dumb to manage their money. That's not they way to win black friends and influence black people, Louie.

As to the millions of acres for blacks, well, if we add the millions of acres for Mexicans, between the two do you suppose that they will allow the white folks to keep Maine?

[Glenn]

"Reparations is a good start," he said.

There's the rub.

[mewzilla]

Thanks for the info. Has Farakhan stumped for any other candidates for national office, or is this a sign McKinney is getting desperate?

[G.Mason]

Glad to a see different idiot getting the lime light about the poor blackman and his wreched, tedious travails through life in America.

Jackson and Sharpton were getting boring.

However, Farrakhan said, "We cannot accept a cash payment because a fool and his money will soon part."

The blind pig finds the acorn...

"We cannot accept a cash payment because a fool and his money will soon part." Instead, he advocated the transfer of "millions" of acres of land from the U.S. government to African Americans.

Louie has apparently never figured out the concept that real estate can be sold in exchange for cash.

[DugwayDuke]

If they're too dumb to manage their money, what will happen to the land of a fool? Oh, I know, the land will go into a black homeland held in common for the good of all and managed by Calypso Louie.

[abclily]

Farrakhan is a seditionist traitor. He is our Yassar Arafat. Farrakhan would like to run all of the whites into the sea and take their land. When is the media going to stop portraying him as a civil rights activist and present him as the power-hungry hate monger that he is?

[Catspaw]

As far as I know, this is the only campaigning Farrakhan as done--Earl Hilliard, who also had Farrakhan's support, brought in Al Sharpton. Hilliard lost to Artur Davis in Alabama's 7th district, the Birmingham area, I do believe.

And Farrakhan's making not one, but three campaign stops for Jihad Cindy.

Did you notice the backhanded slam against Majette? Almost flattery :-)) But if Majette wins, Louie wants access to her office, and you can count on that.

[neutrino]

Calypso Louie just can't get over the fact that Sinatra sold more albums than he did...

[Gorzaloon]

However, Farrakhan said, "We cannot accept a cash payment because a fool and his money will soon part."

Res ipsa locquitur.

Instead, he advocated the transfer of "millions" of acres of land from the U.S. government to African Americans. Farrakhan explained that blacks live in an America that is a "nation within a nation."

(BALLISTIC)

This idiot needs to visit a few reservations!!!!!!!!!!!!
