Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is calling for a “black Christmas” for 2015 – a holiday season in which blacks withhold their money from white businesses.
He pointed out that blacks have a combined wealth that is equal to the 10th largest economy on earth.
But blacks don’t have the trappings of a prosperous society, he said, which leaves “black people like a carcass that all the vultures gather to suck the life out of us.”
Farrakhan’s solution is to stop contributing financially to the economy, targeting “businesses that benefited from black dollars.”
He wants withdrawn “our economic support so that those who give us pain, can receive some pain in return.”
Farrakhan made the comments in an interview with TV One’s “News One Now” program on the Web.
Farrakhan told “News One Now” host Roland Martin, “We think they have taken advantage of us and our consumer dollars by materializing the respect and honor of Jesus, and making it a bonanza for white business.
“So on Black Friday, we won’t be there. When they feel the pain of our withdrawal of our economic power from them, then we can talk about real change in America.”
He continued, “We choose not to spend dollars on black Friday, black Saturday, black Sunday and black Monday.”
He also discussed his demands through the “Justice Or Else!” campaign.
“So the ‘or else’ for us is you’re either going to treat us right or we’re going to withdraw our economic support. So, we’re going to start right at the Million Man March anniversary. We intend to boycott Christmas, but not Jesus.”
He also tried again to explain his earlier controversial remarks about 10,000 men and killing whites.
“We’re going to be inside our community, standing between the guns of the gangs. We’re asking for 10,000, but you got to accept to be trained by the Nation of Islam and the fruit of Islam, so that we can teach you how to be with your people. We’re not killers of people. No Nation of Islam member carries a weapon. We don’t believe in the carnal weapons of this world. However, we have to be trained to go into our community with the love that we have for our own people and stand in the gap.”
See Farrakhan’s comments on “News One Now”:
He's promoting a gathering Oct. 10 in Washington, D.C., to mark the 20th anniversary of the "Million Man March" on the mall in Washington.
WND reported earlier when he lashed out at WND and other media organizations that reported his recent controversial statements calling for an army of 10,000 to "rise up and kill those who kill us" and citing the Quran's "law of retaliation" that imposes a "life for a life" standard.
"I never said kill all white people," Farrakhan said in a video made at a "Justice Or Else" promotional event in Nashville and posted on the Final Call, a Nation of Islam website.
"Those are the words of the mischief-makers. If you are going to quote me then quote me! But when you add your evil mischief-making to my words to make white people to think that I'm calling on black people to kill white people to start a race war, then you're nothing by a lying devil," he said.
Farrakhan's video can be seen here:
In it, various reports from WND, Breitbart, Western Journalism and others are shown on screen, all referencing Farrakhan's call for recruiting an army to "kill those who kill us."
In his new video, Farrakhan stands by his original call for an avenging army.
"When the government fails," he said, "when liars are judges, when liars are medical examiners, when liars are prosecutors, when liars are district attorneys, when liars allow murder to go on … and the murderer goes home to dinner with his family, when our women are beaten and killed while under detention, how long can a people endure such?"
He added, "The white community is in a better place because blacks that patrol in white communities don't do to them what whites do when they patrol ours."
The Nation of Islam leader said the Quran mandates "retaliation" in such instances.
"The Quran says in matters of Islam, it is a life for a life. But we are warned by God not to exceed the limits," he said.
WND reported on the original call to action by Farrakhan.
See the video:
Despite Farrakhan's protestations, here, in context, is what he said on July 30:
"I'm looking for ten thousand in the midst of the million. Ten thousand men who say, 'death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny,'" Farrakhan told the congregants at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Miami."Death is sweeter than to continue to live and bury our children, while white folks give the killer hamburgers."Death is sweeter, than watching us slaughter each other, to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Yes, death is sweeter."The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, 'retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain.' Retaliation is a prescription from God (beats his breast), to calm the breast of those whose children have been slain."So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling."
Despite its extremely inciting nature, the U.S. Attorney's Office for Southern Florida told WND the racially charged speech from July 30 was considered protected political speech under the First Amendment.
