Farrakhan’s Fix: Separation Is the ‘Final Solution to the Problem Between Black & White’

TheBlaze’s Benny Johnson contributed to this report.

On Wednesday evening, Nation of Islam leader the Minister Louis Farrakhan held his “#AskFarrakhan Townhall” meeting, during which the fiery faith leader took questions from the general public via social media. We already told you about his statement that, if Muammar Gaddafi were still alive, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens would be unharmed today.

But that wasn’t Farrakhan’s only noteworthy comment. He also addressed race relations, taking somewhat of a cryptic tone and leaving out explicit details in his claims. While addressing African American unemployment and the solution to the issue of race relations, the National of Islam leader was anything but candid.

Farrakhan Calls for Separation as Solution to Problems Between Blacks & Whites

“What is America going to do with 40 to 50 million black people who don’t have any jobs and there’s no future for them in what America is planning?,” he asked. “There’s no future for us. In fact if you look around, pharaoh has already dropped us. The question is, when are we going to drop him and decide to do something for ourself?”

Farrakhan didn’t mention, at least at that point, what this “something” would be, but he did continue his train of thought, calling for racial separation as the “final solution” to the ongoing issues facing African Americans in America.

“No, you’re going to be separated alright, because that is the final solution to the problem between black and white,” Farrakhan proclaimed. “And the book says, when the children of Israel went out, it was a mixed multitude. That means that there are many others that will go out with you, because they recognize this has no future.”

Watch Farrakhan’s comments, below:

This isn’t the first time that Farrakhan has made similar statements about whites and blacks parting ways. Earlier this year, he warned African Americans that breeding with whites would mean “the end of” their race. And in a separate address, he also said, unless whites change their ways, their “end has come.”

However, this rhetoric is nothing new. In July 1996, Farrakhan used strikingly similar language in an interview with John F. Kennedy Jr. for George Magazine. Below, see a portion of the transcript. While the faith leader skirts JFK’s question, he addresses “separation as a final solution”:

JFK: You’ve often been accused of being a separatist, but what you described sounds something different from that. Is your vision a separate one for Blacks and whites, or those who are part of your Third Force, and those who are not?

MLF: The Honorable Elijah Muhammad saw separation as a final solution to the problem of Black/white relationships. To put separatism on me and on the Nation and on the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is grossly unfair because the real separatists are the white people themselves. We were in the holds of the ships and even after we got here we were separated. Even after emancipation we were separated and segregated. It was just 30 years ago that we were finally able to go to school with separatists. We couldn’t even be buried in the same graveyard with the real separatists.

Clearly, he doen’t give a clear answer on his separatist views in the interview, but his latest comments, though lacking context, seem to reiterate that he believes wholeheartedly in the sentiment.

    Its a wonderful idea, Louie. First, though, round up all those who share your idea. Race doesn’t really matter. Then the rest of us will fund your move to anyplace on the globe. It will be, of course, a one-way ticket!
    Those who believe in freedom, the Constitutional Republic, regardless of race, will stay and do very well without your sorry a$$ and those like you. Oh, take that stupid Moonstruck with you!

    Since the dawn of history the blackman has owned the continent of Africa – rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet and yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.
    His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled. A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour. In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.
    With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail.” — Charles Darwin

    The black problem is drugs and alcohol, it is not whites or white culture. All you have to do is look at all the other cultures who have assimilated peacefully. This man is just another race baiter. He has gotten very rich doing it. He gets rich doing it and the drug addicts have an excuse for their behavior. And if they can lay some guilt on the white man to keep the money coming, so much the better. They have been getting free housing, money and health care for forty years all the while talking about how awful the white man is. Biting the hand that feeds it. This is encouraged by left wingers so they will vote for them. Who in turn steal more money from the workers to give to the non-workers. It is all a huge scam they have been working for four decades. The problem is what happens when all the money runs out? Historically it has always been dictatorship. Always. I’m sure Farrakhan thinks he will be with the elite.

    Blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks. Some of the slaves were brought to the new world to work on sugar plantations. Slave labor has been/still used this way from the beginning of time to whites and blacks….and every other color for that matter. This time our country freed our slaves, not all were black BTW, and they were grateful for their freedom. That point was the only time it would have worked to integrate them into society. Many people tried hard to do this. That is how the NAACP came about…by white people. But racist idiot Democrats and groups like the KKK ruined everything. Now it is black culture to hate everything white so only a small portion of blacks have integrated and they are called names for doing so. There is NOTHING anyone can do to make it right now. NOTHING! This happens in EVERY country in the world. No where do whites and blacks get along well except on one to one basis.

    White people made America. We colonized it, worked the land, fought Indians, English troops and hardships to make it. THe Spanish (who are white) did the same in the southern part of this land along with some French. All of this lying black history bullcrap about the gigantic effort blacks made for the country is a lie. I am for separation if: All blacks leave; they cannot come back; they cannot take American land but have to go to africa; and we will give them every bit of help they need to get to their motherland…..africa.

      I think it is better to give everyone no matter the issue, the choice to love our country, language, culture, and most of all CONSTITUTION, or leave. If you are a Muslim, Black, Communists, what ever group that seems to have a problem with us a choice to change or we will send them where ever they wish. There are many blacks that love our country and they are true Americans and I will fight along side them for the freedom our fathers gave their lives to defend. Anyone that does not accept the Constitution can leave.

    Hey Louie! Liberia is ripe for the taking, but i know Earth holds no bounds for you. What do you have in mind?
    Sung to the tune of the hover-round commercial…
    “Motherplane takes me wherever it goes…where will it take me?”

    “Before UFOlogy became popular, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that a large spaceship had been built “to destroy the white man’s world.” He called this spaceship “the Mother Plane.” He also referred to it as “the Mother of Planes.” The various parts of the ship were build in factories across the world, but the workers had no idea of what they were actually building. It was eventually assembled in Japan in 1929.”

    This guy is totally delusional. He quotes the Bible as if it is referring to his race as the chosen people and not the Israelites. I’ll correct him. Here is the Biblical reference to his kind:

    Genesis 9
    20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

    21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

    22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

    23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

    24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

    25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

    26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

    27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

    Mr. Farrakhan’s people are the servants not the masters. It is Noah’s curse on his grandsons and their descendants. Ham’s son is the father of the sub-Saharan indigenous peoples. Mr. Farrakhan is a descendant of these people. When you understand that these people are the children of curse, many things make sense. Now some say that is not fair. God has never been the God of fairness. He is God. He is sovereign. There is little else to say.

      Read everything you.can about beasts and beasts of the field. The Hebrews had two words for beasts, one was for four legged beasts the other was for two legged beasts. Who ever heard of putting sackcloth on a cow and having it cry out to the Lord. Jonah 4v8. Our forefathers understood this. Give yourself a year of research.

    for one thing….the “blacks” could open their own businesses, and see if their own would support them…the “whites” did it….you can do that here in America last I checked…so why do ..we.. “have to do anything”?? One thing some of these groups have to do is quit spawning like rats….which maybe farrakrat was a product of.

    “What is America going to do with 40 to 50 million black people who don‘t have any jobs and there’s no future for them in what America is planning?,”

    That’s exactly the same question many experts have raised, because they have the intelligence and foresight to see that the future for the majority of African Americans looks pretty bleak. With a few exceptions, like Thomas Sowell, Alan West, Mia Love, Herman Cain, etc., the vast majority have proven over a period of three hundred years that they can’t compete in a high tech global civilization, which is EXACTLY what Farrakhan is referring to.

    Leftist freaks have…and are….constantly trying to promote one lie after another to explain away the “achievement gap” by falsely blaming slavery two hundred years ago, existing white racism and oppression, Ronald Reagan or George Bush, everything but the truth. And the result of their lies has made a mockery of the education system and a dumbing down of the curriculum, so African Americans won’t be left behind, which has caused the US to slip from first place in global societies in competitiveness to 7th place….and falling.

    Has anybody figured out that Obama wants a less compettive society, because it is a foregone conclusion that most blacks WILL NOT be able to compete? In order to survive they need socialism or communism.

    And, how many people are bright enough to understand that Obama is doing what he does for “his people?”

If he wants to have total control by black people over white people, there are countries in other continents that are majority black. He is free to leave and not come back.

    After watching “The Project” and Dr. Warner’s video (http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2012/09/dr-bill-warner-subtitled-in-english.html) I have no doubt that Ahmadinejad met privately with Louis Farrakhan & New Black Panther Party in NYC for one reason and one reason only…to plan the jihad here in America. This isn’t going to be a race war, this is going to be an all out good vs evil war. It will be initially played as a race war, but the Islamists will do all they can to destroy our country and those already here regardless of race will lead the fight. We must wake up, get the word out, and take action. America as we know it, is under enemy attack and we are doing absolutely nothing!! We are fighting as political parties and the real enemy is getting ready to make their move. Those in Washington are too arrogant and self-absorbed to do their jobs. Enough already, it is up to this country’s citizens, just as the early patriots, we must protect this great nation. There are rough days ahead, but I for one, am on the Lord’s side and will seek his guidance in all I do.
