No. 3 House Dem to Join Louis Farrakhan for Program on ‘Disappearing Black Community’

U.S. Assistant House Minority Leader James Clyburn, D-S.C., will join controversial Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan Friday at Pittsburgh’s August Wilson Center for African American Culture for a live broadcast discussion on “The Disappearing Black Community and How We Can Get It Back.”

According to event details, Farrakhan will deliver the forum’s keynote address, focusing on “what blacks need to do to rebuild their communities and regain the purpose of the civil rights struggles of previous generations.”
The event’s host, radio personality Bev Smith, has worked with Farrakhan in the past, including the 1995 Million Man March in Washington. “His job is to tell us what we are doing wrong,” Smith says. “People who are anxious for a change and who want a better life will be there.”
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported Tuesday that Clyburn — a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus — and Farrakhan were scheduled to be joined by Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. However, Campbell has since announced she will not appear alongside Farrakhan and has chosen not to participate.

Smith, whose show is broadcast by the American Urban Radio Network, claims in open letters posted on the Pittsburgh Urban Media website that Campbell’s withdrawal from the event was the result of “pressure from various Jewish and white Christian organizations.”
Although the panelists agree that “this conversation about our community is long overdue and they are excited to be a part of the discussion and want to help provide solutions to the problems plaguing our community,” Smith says, “the discussion is aimed at Black People only.”
This clarification came after columnists at The Jewish Chronicle questioned Farrkhan’s participation:
Minister Farrakhan frequently peppers his speeches with old and absurd anti-Semitic stereotypes, such as that Jews control the economy and even the government. He refers to Judaism as the “Synagogue of Satan.” This is as despicable as the racist rants directed against Blacks by White supremacists.
Moreover, the invitation to Minister Farrakhan seems to contradict the explicit, expressed intentions of Ms. Smith, who has said that this town hall series will focus on the internal dynamics of the Black community.
At the first event of the series, she said: “This is the first time in radio that there has been a town hall meeting centering on us. Why are we in this mess we are in? What have we done to contribute to it? We have to take responsibility. We don’t need to worry about the Klan anymore. We have us killing us.”
This is a noble effort. But Ms. Smith defeats her own purpose in turning to Minister Farrakhan, who, in classic anti-Semitic fashion, tries to blame Jews for many of the African-American community’s challenges.
“This town hall meeting, is not about the Jewish community, Egypt, the current problems in Afghanistan or anything else,” Smith responded. “[I]ts sole purpose is to discuss the state of the black community in 2011. I resent those outside forces that are trying to highjack (sic) this town hall meeting by making their concerns the center of our discussion…
“Their suggestion for us to not have Minister Farrakhan at the table for this important discussion, reminds me of what white slave owners use (sic) to do to their black slaves, and that is to tell the slaves how to meet, what to talk about and who to talk to… I feel strongly that no one can dictate to the African American community who they can have as a guest around my black family table.”
Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
In a statement Tuesday, Rep. Clyburn said he still planned to attend.
“One of the beauties of America is that free speech is protected,” he said. “Although I had no idea who all the participants in this program were until [Sunday], I look forward to an open and civil discussion at the forum this weekend.”
If he attends, Clyburn won’t be the first member of Congress to appear with Farrakhan. In 2004, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., stood on stage at the University of Illinois-Chicago Pavilion as Farrakhan delivered remarks on “Reparations: What Do America and Europe Owe? What Does Allah (God) Promise?”
“I’m honored to join this distinguished leader who gives hope and understanding to people all over the world, of every color, of every religion, and of every political belief,” Conyers said of Farrakhan during the 2004 “Saviours Day” celebration.
“What is God’s promise?” Farrakhan rhetorically remarked in 2004: “Justice, after which (Blacks in America) will come out with great substance,” he answered. “What does America and Europe owe? They owe everything. They must repent or be destroyed from the planet.”
Additionally, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to Congress, is reportedly a “former” member of the Nation of Islam. When he was elected in 2006, FrontPage Magazine labeled Ellison “Farrakhan’s candidate“ and the Weekly Standard called him ”Louis Farrakhan’s First Congressman.”
Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.
The [Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party] is now handing its “greatest stronghold” over to a candidate with long ties to Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic Nation of Islam and who has already accrued at least an estimated $20,000-$35,000 in funding from the terrorist-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), including the maximum personal donation from CAIR chief Nihad Awad. [...]
Blogger Michael Brodkorb at Minnesota Democrats Exposed uncovered two articles that Keith Ellison wrote for the Minnesota Daily under the name Keith E. Hakim as a University of Minnesota Law student in 1989 and 1990. In one Ellison-Hakim repeats standard Nation of Islam (NOI) rhetoric, complaining of “the burden of brutal white savagery” and calls for a secessionist black “land base”…consisting of “Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.”
In the other, Ellison-Hakim defends the presence of a NOI speaker on campus and repeats little-known NOI doctrine to outsiders. He wrote: “Minister Louis Farrakhan never associated himself with al-Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X). The Honorable Elijah Muhammad resurrected Shabazz and Minister Farrakhan. Minister Farrakhan continues the Honorable Elijah Muhammed’s legacy; Shabazz abandoned it.”
“Minister Farrakhan is the only leader other than the late Dr. Martin Luther King and the late Malcolm X who can call people together from all walks of life to talk about issues,” Bev Smith said in an interview Monday, praising Farrakhan for his “empathy, integrity and involvement with the African-American community.”
While Smith did not defend or excuse any comments Farrakhan has aimed toward Jews, she insisted they were not relevant to Friday evening’s town hall meeting. “This is a conversation for and to African Americans,” she said. “We’re not talking about anti-Semitism. We do not tell the Jewish community who to talk to and we never have.”
The “The Disappearing Black Community” broadcast will take place Friday, March 11 from 7 to 10 p.m.

Before you keep chanting your joy for the demise of the white race, you should consider moving to black-controlled Africa for a while. Can you name ONE black leader who has brought prosperity to his country, turned it into a superpower?
If Obama stays on, he will destroy America, and the black population in the world will be even poorer for it. BTW, who has been hit the worst by Obama’s economic policies? You guessed it, blacks. That shouldn’t bother you, though. Black-on-black slavery is still alive, and you love it, love it, love it.

Those people will follow the devil if the lie is good enough. The majority of white people are rooting for you to make good because they know that their country will be better for it. Your leaders want you to stay down because they get rich over your ignorance. Black or white, it is your leaders and racists who keep you down.
Wake up before it is too late for all of us!!!! Teach your children respect for the things that other people work for to give to them. Teach them respect for our laws and other peoples lives and properties. Teach them respect for themselves as Americans. Do this and you all will respect yourselves as human beings.
I hope that you will wake up before it is too late. We all have a stake in this country.

Also the black on black crimes, and poor education (due to many things including students not coming to school to learn, lack of parental support, and teachers with not enough experience) are also to blame for the break down in African American Society, but also society in general. Also the worship of stuff and wanting what everyone else has, but not willing to work to get it yourself.

The Black-Separatists are completely exposed now, with no hesitency to admit their bias. Obama making V Jones a ‘Czar’, Holder not prosecuting Black Panthers, and now racist Black Congressmen co-mingling with Farrakan? Then again, why not? The CBC went to Cuba and praised Castro. Anti-American Racists! Their hatred prevented them from progressing, and now the Mexicans are taking over..haha, you idiots! You were used by the Libs, and will still vote for them.
I have to laugh, in a way. All these years, and after all the programs to ‘level’ the playing field, look at the black community. It’s pathetic! In the town near me, Mexicans have pushed blacks out. In the years after whites fled- and before Mexicans came- blacks did nothing but commit crimes, make babies, and ruin housing that was built for them…at the working-mans expense.
I won’t rest till every racist black is called out for what they are.

Posted on March 9, 2011 at 7:16amI thought the people who were anxious for “change” were there in 2008. Are they saying things haven’t improved: Obama hasn’t paid for their rent, their gas, their hair, their nails, put steak and potatoes on the table, parted the waters? I guess they do need to meet about that since he is a total failure at delivering on all his empty promises – instead he doubled down and made things worse for everyone.

Posted on March 9, 2011 at 8:04amMost of us are hurting, economically and otherwise right now and their are clearly polarizing and problematic leaders in all the different political and social groups in our country (and the world). However, this is no justification or excuse to vilify, denigrate, ridicule, and down right dehumanize an entire people, as many of the commentators have done in their posts. Those of you who have made the comments that black people are all lazy, welfare recipients, who live in mud huts, who have no drive or desire to better themselves but rather prefer to take things away from “Whitey” – you are laboring under profound delusions about the black people in general and the political and social structure of our country in particular. I understand that your conclusions are based largely on mis-perception and fear; I further understand that you will be unwilling to entertain this possibility and will dismiss what I am saying as somehow caused by socialism or some other anti-american derivation, because it is easier for you to do that then look deep into the cold history of our country. I know you will reject my comments and would never entertain the possibility that in fact many of the comments you have written are hateful, racist, and untrue (it’s easy for you to hide as a victim of being called racist, for example). But I must say nonetheless – that I absolutely reject your hateful notions about what black people are and what they represent. Shame on you all.

Report Post »Are you so desperate in your Progressivism that you would defend Louis Farrakhan?? Is he being unfairly attacked?? Do you hate Christians and Jews as much as Farrakhan does?? Is this your PATHETIC version of “speaking truth to power”?? You really need to re-examine your hypothesis that only Conservatives hate. Your “moral relevancy” of trying to equate anything that Beck says to Farrakhan’s words are again just another lame, desperate, and non-sensical personal attack……the only weapon that the Progressives have, it seems. Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and Fox News tear your little hearts out, don’t they?

How ironic that you folks are always complaining about being labelled as racists when you disagree Obama, yet you turn around and somehow accuse me of defending Louis Farrakhan, although I have said nothing of the sort. It’s even more ironic (and moronic) that you accuse me of ad hominem argument, and then attack me with no reference to anything I’ve actually said in my posts. Sorry my friend, but at best this is hypocrisy, and at worst its just stupid.
Of course Louis Farrakhan is a terrible guy, and there is no defending Clyburn’s choice here in my opinion. However, it seems kind of silly to Beck standing up for Jews, given his persistent anti-semitism and his willingness to equate the faith of the largest group of American Jews with extremist Islam. And as far as apologies go: his was truly two days late and a dollar short.

Posted on March 9, 2011 at 10:16amRep. Clyburn, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is choosing to appear with a man known to advocate the overthrow of the American Government, through violent means or otherwise, and who prays for Sharia law in America as well as the return of the Mahdi. I hope that his voter base takes note of his actions and remembers this event at election time, 2012. I am sure that all those nice ladies in Rep. Clyburn’s district will be real comfortable in their burkas and I am also sure that none of his loyal voters will miss their alcoholic beverages!

I think Farraconman is upset that the dems use of issues to promote their Progressive agenda is no longer working on some in the black community. The Nation would see a big turnaround if a black conservative became president. The great uniter has torn this country apart , which has been Sharpton, Jackson and Farraconman’s goal all along. People of every color are waking up.

Report Post »Thank you for your post. The First Amendment protects speech. Each person is entitled to their thoughts, ideas and opinions. Perhaps your argument would be more cogent and less divisive if you presented facts as they relate to welfare recipients by race. The statistics are clear; more whites than blacks receive welfare. However ,by percentage of population race blacks are higher. To attribute this to slavery which ended 148 years ago doesn’t make sense to people. To attribute it to discrimination when equal as in EEO means advantage is given to everyone but whites doesn’t wash anymore. To attribute it to racism is a misnomer. There is no oppression. The actual word is bigotry. Anybody can be a bigot. Every race has appalling language for other groups they are bigoted against. In summary, the anvil outlasts the hammer. Stop pounding and let’s have a civil discussion. We are all in this together.

Your guise of civility is a rather pathetic hoax. You insist on Jabril providing hard facts to back up his argument, but then you decalre simply by fiat that there is no discrimination or oppression of African-Americans. For generations after slavery most African-Americans were segregated and restricted from all but the lowest and most menial jobs. Legal segregation endured until the 1970s in many places, and prejudices still exist. You are suggesting that because the African-American population of the U.S. has not suddenly become middle class in one generation there must be something wrong with that race?
Yes, you pathetic whiner, there are bigots of every race, class and creed. That does not excuse any of them, so please stop playing the victim. Jabril was trying to do you folks a favor by pointing our the ignorance in your midst.

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 8:55pmIf the problems endemic to the black community ever manage to magically get resolved, Farrakhan, Sharpton and Jackson will no longer be able to take advantage of their followings and may have to actually find jobs. Even worse, Clyburn will no longer have anything to talk about and will just have to sit in Congress quietly. Maybe he can sit next to Shiela Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters and they can discuss how to boost the membership of their Democratic Socialists of America caucas.
