So Louis Farrakhan “likes what he sees in Donald Trump”, huh?
The only people who would be surprised by this would be people who don’t know history.
On Sunday, June 25, 1961, on the personal invitation of Elijah Muhammad, ten members of the American Nazi Party, including the founder and leader of the American Nazi Party George Lincoln Rockwell attended a Nation of Islam rally held in Washington, DC. They were escorted to front row seats reserved just for honored guests and they sat in silence and listened to Malcolm X speak.
Just six months earlier, Elijah Muhammad had ordered Malcolm X to travel to Atlanta to meet with the Ku Klux Klan, in secret, to figure out a way to work together to boost membership for BOTH groups.
When Malcolm left the Nation of Islam in 1964, he sent a telegram to George Lincoln Rockwell leaving no doubt whatsoever as to how he felt about Elijah Muhammad ordering him to work with white supremacists…
“This is to warn you that I am no longer held in check from fighting white supremacists by Elijah Muhammad’s separatist Black Muslim movement, and that if your present racist agitation against our people there in Alabama causes physical harm to Reverend King or any other black Americans who are only attempting to enjoy their rights as free human beings, that you and your Ku Klux Klan friends will be met with maximum physical retaliation…”
My timeline has been filled with people up in arms about how Donald Trump didn’t immediately denounce his endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and other white supremacists’ groups. I have seen both liberals and conservatives, Republicans as well as Democrats squarely on the same side on this issue. What I am saying is that you should be, in principle, equally appalled when Louis Farrakhan, “likes what he sees in Donald Trump.”
The moral of this story is, when Trump’s campaign goes scraping the bottom of the bucket no one should be surprised at what floats up.
