Minister Farrakhan Reminds Black Detroit to Stick Together

[HiPointDem]

121. I have to spell it out for you? NOI is a black organization. Black people are a historically

persecuted minority in the US, and that history of persecution is an integral part of NOI's schtick.

If the Nazi Party had been run by Jews who were focused on persecuting Roma, there would be some analogy.

But it wasn't.

NOI has about as much chance of occupying a position of power analogous to the Nazi Party's as I have of becoming president. That is, none.

The minute they become an actual material threat to anyone that matters is the minute they are gone.

Not to put too fine a point on it, NOI is an organization that collaborates with elements of the US power structure, maintains the color line and a separatist ethos (anti-white as well as anti-semitic), and channels semi-radicalized black people into politically neutralized outlets.

NOI has been around since 1930. Its anti-semitism is just enough to sound kinda rad to the disaffected looking for a scapegoat, but I've yet to hear of any roving bands of NOI adherents attacking jews on the street, burning jewish businesses, or the like. I doubt it's ever happened.
Just mouth.

More politically salient is NOI's ties to people like Khaddafi. I think from the cheap seats it's impossible to know what that means except that it's part of the world of intelligence and counter-intelligence (for example, Libyan funding to NOI was channeled through BCCI).

An interesting development is NOI's recent alliance with Scientology.

Here's the speech under discussion. I've listened to it about half-way through (fell asleep mid-way so need to do the second part). In the first hour two remarks that can be called anti-semitic. One is at about 15' -- the jews rejected jesus/hollywood as purveyor of destructive trash) and another at about 43' (someone is supoenaing (NOI?) something -- they're a tool of the satanic jews).

In between, Farrakhan spouts such mainstream (& basically conservative) messages as don't eat at mcdonalds (bad for you); you have to create your own job, take care care of your kids, don't make excuses, and similar stuff. He speaks as a 'christian' here from the stance that he's both a christian and muslim.
