Louis Farrakhan: Twenty Controversial Quotes
Louis Farrakhan insists he’s misunderstood and his quotes are “taken out of context”.
We assembled a body of Louis Farrakhan quotes from throughout his public speaking.
The reader can then decide better for themselves about Farrakhan’s intent.
From Wikipedia:
Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott, May 11, 1933), is the acting head of the Nation of Islam (NOI). Perhaps the most provocative aspect of Farrakhan’s political philosophy are comments he has made that have widely been seen as antisemitic.
Twenty controversial and anti-semitic quotes from the leader of the Nation of Islam.
“They call them terrorists, I call them freedom fighters.”
– Louis Farrakhan, on Hezbollah, at District Council 33 Union Hall, Philadelphia, April 22, 1996
“The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.”
–Saviours’ Day speech, Chicago, February 1998
“White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.”
–Philadelphia Inquirer, March 2000
“Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name.”
– Louis Farrakhan, 1984
“Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn’t offer anything back to our community.”
“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.”
“…America desires a moderate Islam; an Islam that America can control; an Islam that America can give direction to and give orders to its leaders. So, this war is against the Islam that the West does not control.”
“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man.”
“It appears that there is a genocidal plan against Black people.”
“Dewey, Kant and Hegel, and the rabbis that wrote the Talmud, make blacks inferior.”
“Murder and lying comes easy for white people.”
“I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government …Yes, they exercise extraordinary control, and black people will never be free in this country until they are free of that kind of control … “
–Meet The Press interview, April 1997
“Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.”
“The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the late of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.”
– Louis Farrakhan, City College audience in New York
“I recognized that the black man will never be free until we address the relationship between blacks and Jews.”
“America will always side with those whom she can direct, give orders to and have those orders obeyed.”
“Countless times over the years I have explained that I never referred to Judaism as a dirty religion, but, clearly referred to the machinations of those who hide behind the shield of Judaism while using unjust political means to achieve their objectives.”
This was distilled in the New York tabloids and other media saying, “Farrakhan calls Judaism a gutter religion.” As a Muslim, I revere Abraham, Moses, and all the Prophets who Allah (God) sent to the children of Israel. I believe in the scriptures brought by these Prophets and the Laws of Allah (God) as expressed in the Torah. I would never refer to the Revealed Word of Allah (God) — the basis of Jewish Faith — as “dirty” or “gutter.”
–Letter to the Wall Street Journal June 18, 1997
“These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality, [and] Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government [on the war in Iraq]“
–February 2006 NOI event
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.”
The reader can decide.
Is it possible that these quotes were “taken out of context?”

I think Farrakhan is a disgusting, hateful, deceitful manipulator of the black population, and a disgrace to humanity. He is in fact a domestic terrorist and should be shut down, lock, stock and barrel. If a white man were spewing forth such hateful drivel, he would be not only looked down upon but would be castigated for his beliefs, however radical and ridiculous. Just because Farrakhan is black does not mean he should be underestimated or allowed to do the things and say the things he does. It’s because whites are afraid to take a stance against radical people of color—essentially, it’s our fault that this monster preaches his venom to the masses and turns hearts to stone. What do you do when you create the modern Prometheus?

If the whites would quote this against the blacks, they would be arrested, and prosecuted for hate speech. Racism is accpeted only from the mouth from the black man. Blacks have more rights, and advantages than whites, and they still hate whites! How about affirmative action? The definition of discrimination is “to favor for, or against.” The whites cater to the blacks, and they still hate, and blame the whites for all their problems. Nobody wants to talk about the white man who faught for their freedom! They so easily forgot about the white man who died SAVING them! They probably didn’t even read the amendment in the constitution that ABOLISHED slavery. Almost every country has been a slave to another in the past. Romans, Latinos, Asians, Ukraine, Hebrew, ETC. ETC. Slavery has been going on since B.C., and the blacks are the only race who blames their ancestors slave owners responsible for ALL their problems. If you want proof that blacks can get away with being racist, and the whites get crucified for even hinting racism. Don Imus said,”nappy haired ho’s,” and got fired, fined, and had to apologize. Now look what happened to him for making reference to a black persons HAIR! Not the color of their skin! Do you remember what Jamie Fox said about Miley Sirus who isn’t even an adult? He said,”she needs a little more teeth, and less gums. She needs to grow her but bigger, do some heroin and make a sex video. Then he continued to call her a white bitch.

Every Race that you mentioned to have been oppressed and enslaved has been done so, or orchestrated by the white/caucation man.
“We should thank the person who freed us from slavey”. We were already free before we were stolen from our land. So, please forgive us if we forget to thank you’ll for our freedon. I do recall the constitution saying all men were created equal. Well what happen when we got here. So, yes we are still bitter, we have every right to. then you’ll act as if you doing us a favor by giving us handouts. Why should there even been a admendment. It shouldv’e never happened. How do we have more rights then whites????? Because we finally have a couple of networks and organizations, that we can finally call our own after being told we aint shit, not gonna be shit. To finally have something to call our own, cause not too long ago, my kids could not go to school with yours, drink from the same fountain, ect. So please tell me where do you feel cheated????

Lucy,
You’re still bitter? You were enslaved? You have every right to? Why is that: do you not have personal memories, only racial ones? That’s pretty unique; perhaps you should write a book.
My ancestors were tortured and run out of England in the 1600s and 1700s. The English have never done anything to me personally, though. Why would I even think about what happened hundreds of years ago–except when a post like this appears?
Every Race that you mentioned to have been oppressed and enslaved has been done so, or orchestrated by the white/caucation man.
Sadly, all races–including blacks–have enslaved their fellow man at one time or another. From Wikipedia: “One of the most famous slave traders on the East African coast was Tippu Tip, who was himself the grandson of an enslaved African.”
Your time has passed: you’d have been a big hit in the 1960s.
Thanks for the comment.

Louis Farrakhan is an antichrist, and we are told in the Bible many antichrists will come, and are already here. In his Saviour’s day video on You Tube, he said the Almighty told him to sit at the right hand of his throne while He, the Almighty, makes all of his enemies his footstool. A theft of what God the Father told Jesus who is the second Person of the godhead.

Rob element,
By leaving your comment you hope to sway future readers.
If you truly believed what you posted, you would have done a little Google-ing and highlighted what this “unprofessional” piece got wrong. But you can’t.
Farrakhan can’t un-speak what he’s already spoken–and neither can his followers, no matter how many post comments without any contrary evidence.

I could not have said that better myself. This is 2010, blacks are not enslaved anymore and whites bend over backwards to make up for their ancestors’ ways but that isn’t good enough.
And to Lucy, stop saying WE. YOU were not a slave, YOU were not treated unfairly, and YOU have equal rights as an American citizen. Affirmative action is in favor of YOU. Minority groups are in favor of YOU. God forbid whites got together and made a group designed to advance their people, we’d be called racists and bigots, we’d be charged with hate crimes, etc.
So please, think before you accuse us of being racist.
And thank God or Allah (or whoever you pray to) for the white men and women who are fighting, and risking their lives, for your right to make these outrageous claims.

Everybodies so angry! People, this is just one persons interpretation. Yes, he has many followers, but if one person had the answer to race relations then none of us would be here responding to the ministers comments. I don’t understand why people get so angry with the Ministers comments. Maybe it’s because there is so much truth in the history he shares. Sometimes the truth does hurt. But, only a person or a country in denial would be angered by the truth spoken. The truth shall set us free.
Just like you said, most races have suffered from enslavement or some type of discrimination or injustice. It’s not fair to say one suffered more than others. Even as a black women, I can’t say that my ancestors suffered more than Jewish or Native Americans. All I can say is my people are still suffering.
I do believe that ancestry is the foundation for many things including how we feel and view other races. Throughout American History there is no doubt that caucasians have viewed themselves as a superior race and all others inferior. This countries justice system, political system, correctional system, and educational system has been built on the same foundation of white superiority.
The issue is not who has suffered in the past, but who is suffering now because of the establishment of a biased and unjust system.
It’s not a coincidence that the US prison population is 80% Blacks and Latinos and only 13% whites. Blacks are 6.5 times more likely to be incarcarated and 4.5 times more likely to be executed. It’s no coincident that white males are more likely to get hired over Black and Latino males and women. Black and Latino’s are also dealing with racial profiling in employment and housing.
White people continue to deny that racisim still exist. They are so quick to bring up affirmative action and how much has already been done for minorities. But, if the American system was established as equal then there would be no need for such laws. The numbers don’t lie and they are proof that what the Minister is saying is truth. The American society, culture, government, education, and politics are all based on white superiority. Until whites, black, hispanics and other races recognize the flaw in the foundation of this country and the ignorance in their ancestry, race issues will continue to be discussed and manifested by the people God has given us to unveil the truth.

Sister Jacque why waste your time and effort trying to reason with the “Devil”?? It is written in the book of Obadiah 1:15 “The day is near when I, the LORD, will judge all godless nations! As you have done it Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads. The smarter of ones of them “Israel” knows this in there Torah… Imagine ‘Satan’ calling some one his own name.. I feel sorry for the unlearn of Israel “the Goyim” of his own people there comments are so silly … where is the learnt ones among them why haven’t them commented??? because they know the “time” and what must be done..the Goyim should ask his own learned bro why he build such huge airport @ denver colorado??& why he havent informed his about it.. & stop wasting time on a great man who is taking care of his own people like “Louis Farrakhan” ..

As a 14 year old with my innocence still in tact was beaten severely by a bunch of blacks playing football on a vacant part of a cemetery lot…A friend and I were simply riding our bicycles when they rushed t us. My friend got away but I was pinned down by the bicycles…I was kicked, hit, spit on and was cursed. All I recall is “What are you doin on our side of town cracker” The beating seemed forever but actually only minuets. It ended with a black man coming out telling them that he knew all their Mommas and daddy’s and to get off that white boy…..I got up and left with my innocence changed from that day forward….I am not afraid of life or blacks but I have yet to ride my bike just anywhere ever again…I have a new perspective, outlook today…I am aware. It was a terrible thing to see Rodney King beaten…Then to see Reginald Denny beaten…That one I could identify with. For me the difference is that Rodney King was beaten by some angry cops who were full of adrenalin and testosterone for not doing what he was ordered to do…OBEY the law…Obey mans law! What was it that Reginald Denny do? He was just a white man on the side of town that had some angry black people who had no right to beat a man down just because of his color. Are all blacks bad; NO are all whites good; NO Are all blacks in America African American? Were all Blacks in America enslaved? Were all whites slave owners? No No No….Can’t we all just get along? I guess not…But I think we can…I can forgive and forget…I believe in the golden rule; I am now 51 and retired from the US Navy. Never been in prison, never been Homeless, never had a broken bone, never had to sell something in a pawn shop, never got a tattoo, never did a lot of things…And I will never forget that little old black man who quite possibly saved my life!

There is one God, we are all his children, every race has commited crimes, all crime is crime and only in the eyes of the Father is there justice. Our brains can not comprehend the real laws of God, our Father! One day you brothers and sisters will regret that you spoke down unto one another, but it will then be the latest hour. Be kind, holding all of your brothers and sisters before your own self…and then mayGod bless and keep you.
What, the hell, is wrong with you?
i will pray for us all
