Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has written the leaders of more than a dozen major U.S. Jewish groups and denominations seeking "repair of my people from the damage" he claims Jews have caused blacks for centuries.

Farrakhan sent the letter along with two books from the Nation of Islam Historical Research Team that the 77-year-old minister said prove "an undeniable record of Jewish Anti-Black behavior," starting with the slave trade and Jim Crow laws.

"We could charge you with being the most deceitful so-called friend, while your history with us shows you have been our worst enemy," he wrote.

In the letter, dated last Thursday, the Chicago-based Nation of Islam leader said he sought a dialogue with Jews. He sent the letter to groups including the Orthodox and Reform movements, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the American Jewish Committee, a New York-based advocacy and humanitarian nonprofit that spearheads inter-religious dialogue.

"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," he writes. "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."

First Obama's pastor Rev. Wright resurfaces with racist, anti-semitic remarks, now Farrakhan goes full bore. Has Obama given them the green light to after the Jews on the homefront while Obama undermines the Jews in Israel?

If you look at the way Hussein governs it's clear that he agrees.

I suspect that many liberal Jews have secretly believed this for a long time and that fear is what drives many of them to be such ardent supporters of black causes. Just a thought.

[kristinn]

The scary thing is it looks like alot of folks are trying to make it happen again.

[allmost]

This is farrakhan's limelight. obama's pastor is saying, on video, what he (farrakhan)is saying. The president's pastor is in alignment with his views.

This did not happen without Calypso Barry's foreknowledge.

I’ll second the Never Again.

I wonder if American Jews have any idea what is coming at them. History says too many will seek security in their assimilation and status. As ill-fated 1930's German Jews scoffed at warning voices: "This is nonsense. They will do nothing to us. After all, we are Jews, yes, but We are Germans!"

So the financial support of Martin Luther King by the Schlumberger family in the 1960’s, was “deceitful” “anti-black” behavior?

I’m gonna go ahead and repost my comment from the duplicate thread:

And there is the true enemy. Not the Mormons, not the Cathoics, not the Protestants. Shame on those who engage in internicene warfare while the barbarians pound on the gates.

Either way, American Jews are still going to vote for Obama. He got like 75% of the Jewish vote in 2008, and there is no evidence to suggest he has lost any support.

Obama could completely abandon Israel and American Jews would probably still dutifully show up at the polling center and vote for whatever Democrat they can find on the ballot.

I really don't understand this behavior, but it seems to be pointless to try to change it. Jews tend to be liberals/socialists and this is how they will probably always vote. They also tend to find their way into leadership positions in the ACLU, People for the American Way, etc. When is the last time you saw Buddhists, Hindus or even Muslims getting all worked up over a nativity scene? It is virtually always Jews pulling that crap.

I hope not, but fear you may be right....

Just when you think this piece of human detritus has finally faded into the background ... he pops up again. Sort of like a pop star who needs something to re-energize their career (relevance).

[old curmudgeon]

Farrakhan has a couple of problems of his own.

First, he is a boni fide nutcase.

Second, he is ignorant.

I am old enough that I very well remember the early days of the equal rights movement.

The Jews I knew were very supportive of the equal rights movement, something I attributed at the time to the fact that they themselves had been treated so badly that they had sympathy for the blacks.

So Farrakhan is now biting one of the hands that fed him in the early days.

Only an ignorant jerk would do so.

[mylife]

Oh man! when is Elijah Mohammed going to beam this idiot up?!

[kristinn]

Some do. But not nearly enough. This is looking like the 1930s again. Folks better wake up soon.

[presently no screen name]

I would say a definite yes! And they aren’t too subtle about it, IMO.
