Good ole fellow Chicagoan Louie Farrakhan was always good for an exciting headline as he would attack the Jews with crazy claims.
He has finally taken the cake, as he can no longer claim his words are being taken out of context. This time he didnt just make a statement that is being partially quoted, but he sent a letter out to heads of Jewish institutions.
Farrakhan sent a letter to more than a dozen Jewish leaders and organizations (I wonder if he used Newsweek's recently published list of the 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America to decide to whom to send his letter) calling on them to help repair the damage the jews have caused in history to his people. He also sent books from the Nation of Islam that prove Jews have been engaged in anti-black behavior for a very long time.
In the letter, Farrakhan writes "This is an offer asking you and the gentiles whom you influence to help me in the repair of my people from the damage that has been done by your ancestors to mine,". "Your present reality is sitting on top of the world in power, with riches and influences, while the masses of my people ... are in the worst condition of any member of the human family."
I would venture to say that means Farrakhan has forgotten about his good friend Barak Obama who is the President of the US. A black man sits atop the world in power, while no Jew has yet to reach that position.
Regardless, Farrakhan is always good for a provocative headline..
