The Wit and Wisdom of Louis Farrakhan

Farrakhan Stresses Unity in Farewell -- DETROIT - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan stressed religious unity Sunday during his final major speech, saying the world is at war because Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths are divided.

The fiery orator spoke for the first time since ceding leadership of the movement last year because of illness. The speech at the home of the National Football League's Detroit Lions capped the Nation's three-day convention in the city where it was founded in 1930.

"My time is up," Farrakhan said in describing his exit from the leadership stage. "The Final Call can't last forever."

The controversial figure said that he is leaving at a time of great conflict in the world and that he believes God is angry with leaders who are putting politics and greed above serving their fellow man.


All of this is coming from a man who spent his entire career spewing anti-white and anti-Semitic diatribes and hatred. But NOW is the time for his final curtain and he wants to be remembered well. Don't worry, Farrakhan, we WILL remember you -- through your own words:


In 1994, Farrakhan said in a speech: "The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man."

Farrakhan: "The same year they set up the IRS, they set up the FBI. And the same year they set up the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith… It could be a coincidence… [I want] to see black intellectuals free… I want to see them not controlled by members of the Jewish community."

Farrakhan has referred to Jews, Palestinian Arabs, Koreans, and Vietnamese collectively as "bloodsuckers" and maintains that "Murder and lying comes easy for white people."

Farrakhan made several controversial statements about race, including "White people are potential humans — they haven't evolved yet."

According to Farrakhan's mentor, Elijah Muhammad, blacks were "born righteous and turned to unrighteousness," while the white race was "made unrighteous by the god who made them."

In comments regarding the decimation of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, Louis Farrakhan stated that there was a 25-foot hole under one of the key levees that failed, and implied that the levee's destruction was a deliberate attempt to wipe out the population of largely black sections within the city. Farrakhan further claimed the fact that the levee broke the day after Hurricane Katrina is proof that the destruction of the levee was not a natural occurrence.

“FEMA is too White to represent us and so is the Red Cross.”
