Debbie Schlussel: "New" Nation of Islam, Farrakhan are Same Ole/Same Ole
Since last week, a number of people have been sending the story of how there are an alleged "new and improved" (and supposed more tolerant) Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan.
To quote one of the most anti-Semitic and pro-Farrakhan rap groups--Public Enemy--Don't Believe the Hype.
This isn't the first time Farrakhan has held a press conference or said in a speech that there's a "new" Nation of Islam, a "new" Farrakhan. He said the same in an interview with ABC News' "20/20" Muslim host, Martin Bashir, below. Watch the interview. There's nothing new. Calypso Louie still holds the same racist, bigoted, anti-White, anti-Semitic--and frankly, anti-American--views he's always held. He's just not announcing them to the world. But he won't take them back or apologize for them. And he still believes them.
Even in his latest "new and improved" speech, Farrakhan took the time to tell us that "Whites must stop seeing themselves as superior." The way the polls are going, I think November's election will tell him that we don't. (As I've already noted, I'm voting for McCain and hope that he wins.) "Whites seeing themselves as superior"--same old racism from Louis X.
Oh, and by the way, in case there was any doubt, he said that Black Muslims "have to keep going our own way." Nothing new about that. It's the same old racist, separatist, supremacy crap we've been hearing from Farrakhan since he transformed himself from Calypso singer and dancer to the nation's looniest Black racist.
One new thing, though: Farrakhan declared himself an Open Borders advocate. Gee, thanks for the tip. I doubt there are too many illegal aliens vying with him for the job as "America's Next Top Black Muslim Racist."
Yup, "new" Farrakhan is like "New Coke". Slightly different flavor, but it's the same fizz and temperament. And just like "New Coke", the new "flavor" will go by the wayside with the old standby still dominating the Nation of Islam racism market.
