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

Sep. 27, 2012 8:31am Billy Hallowell

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.

Also, I worked at a courthouse in Natchitoches, Louisiana and came across a civil suit there, one of the oldest suits there, handwritten and almost in pieces, about a “colored free man” who sued a white man for a slave he had bought (one of at least 4) that was a “sickly woman”, and he won. So this whole white privilege stuff is pointless because “real” history defeats their greatest argument.

First step is to get rid of the dumb-bell in the WH, that is if you want jobs.

I was looking through the posts here and saw one that speaks to the horrible state of race relations that president Obama has brought forth.

As a hard working black conservative I would like to be drafted away from black people. Thank you for your consideration.
I am white and was very moved by MLK and the character of a person should be not be based on the color of their skin. Why should it have come to the point that this person wants to be drafted away from black people? If he is black or white, pink or purple, and works hard, follows the rules it should not make any difference what his skin color is.

Thank you president Obama for moving the coutry “forward” to where a black conservative has to be asked to be drafted away from being a black person. SHAME ON YOU BARAK OBAMA.

How about we divide the country at the Mississippi river. Progressives on one side and the rest of us on the other. Once you go to your side you can’t come back. Which side do you think will starve to death first? You are either a productive member of society or you are a leech and one day the leech population is gonna be in for a big surprise when the producers just flat out decide to stop being a host.

This guy is such a racist loser. Seriously, what the heck does he mean there is no future for blacks with “America’s plan”? Is he saying black people do not qualify for jobs or education or does he mean blacks don’t want the same things? What an idiot.

Hey MOONSTRUCK2, You want to be a jack-wagon troll? Well here’s my two cents: MY ancesters were here long before the “whites” or the “blacks”. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY! Now, since those of Us are Americans now, I will fight for American values, American ways of life, for America’s freedom from those who want to take this from Us. If you cannot further yourself as an American and can only play the part of the victim, then YOU MOONSTRUCK2 needs to find another place to reside. We (that is Us) don’t want or need your kind here in America. I charge you, MOONSTRUCK2 to find a country, other than America, where you can use your Rights of Freedom of Speech to spew the b.s. that is issuing from your fingertips. If you hate America and her “Melting Pot” of peoples, than just please find another country to live in. WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU here in America. You see, what you see (or are being paid to propagandize) is a country where people of color are not welcome or are hindered to further their OWN lives. That is a LIE. You and like minded people like you are the ones destroying this country of freedom that allows you to live with rights such as Freedom of Speech. Just try and think for one second: would you like to live in a country where you had NO rights? Keep pushing as you profess. We’ll see where that gets you.
p.s. Have a nice day!

I believe this has already been done and the country is called Liberia. I suggest black Muslims move there and involve themselves in that wonderful society.

The final solution between blacks and whites is for bigoted idiots like Farrakhan to speak louder, so that everyone realizes what morons they are…. I was born in 79 and my generation could not care less about skin color…

Prov.6:16-19. The “fruit” never lie. L.F. sounds like a broken record; he is repeating the same mess[age] that the Communist W.E.B.Duboise spoke in the early 1900s. He also dreamed of the “Talented Tenth”, which would be in charge of the others. Nothing New under the Sun.

This nut is already separated from reality…so I suggest we send him to the mother ship he thinks is hovering above the earth via rocket and just let things take their course. America needs to isolate threats to its existence like this guy and deal with them accordingly.

I was thinking the same. Not all black Americans feel like Farrakhan and so many other blacks that call whites racists, but still they are the ones playing the race card. I would say that all blacks that dislike white people and our country so much, should go in search of a place to live with the freedom the claim not to have here.
Whites in general don’t care for the color of people’s skin. Whites (of all races) and blacks (of all origins) live together well, as long as they compromise on working together.
So, those blacks that dislike America so much can go with Farrakhan to the Moon if they want. And can take with them all those whites that consider America unfair, racist and greedy.

I wish they would make up their minds, they dont want segregation, they want segregation. Cant have it both ways. Frankly their is an entire continent with people just like you farakan. If you dont like it here perhaps you should go there and maybe you will like it better. You complain on how bad you have it here, yet me think you have been better off here.
