Louis Farrakhan stated \u201cWe need to put the American flag down. Because we\u2019ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag\u201d in remarks before the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, DC on Wednesday first reported by DC\u2019s WMAL.<\/p>\n
Farrakhan said, \u201cWhite folks march with you because they don\u2019t want you upsetting the city, they don\u2019t give a damn about them nine.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that when the police took suspected shooter Dylann Roof to Burger King they were saying \u201cYou did a good job. Kill all them [bleep.]\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, he declared, \u201cI don\u2019t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag. We need to put the American flag down. Because we\u2019ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag,\u201d comments that were meant with cheers and applause. He added, \u201cWho are we fighting today? It\u2019s the people that carry the American flag.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the New Black Panther leader whose party at one point offered a $10,000 reward for George Zimmerman, \u201cdead or alive,\u201d before Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in Trayvon Martin\u2019s death now is rhapsodizing about the possibility of violence against \u201cslave masters\u201d in connection with the murders of nine people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n
At a rally there on Tuesday, Malik Zulu Shabazz called for the completion of the mission of Denmark Vesey, a slave who strategized to kill slave masters nearly two centuries ago when the church where the nine were murdered was being founded.<\/p>\n
\u201cVesey had a plan to kill all the slave masters in the state,\u201d Shabazz said at his rally. \u201cAll of their [expletive deleted] families. We need some Denmark Veseys today. We got to complete what Denmark didn\u2019t finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
He led the crowd in a chant of \u201cBlack power\u201d and \u201cby any means.\u201d And continued with another, \u201cWhat do we want? Justice, When do we want it? Now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came to change the order here,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t forgive nobody.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
