Farrakhan declares himself ‘light in the midst of darkness’
Farrakhan claimed that the "white right" is set on making Obama's presidency limited to one term.
Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan delivered his annual Saviour’s Day speech this past Sunday to an audience of 20,000 at the United Center.
The speech, lasting 3.5 hours long, revolved around the usual controversial remarks towards white society and around President Obama.
A long time supporter of Obama, Farrakhan pleaded with him to “speak for the poor, speak for the weak.” He argued that if Obama could provide a voice for homosexuals, he should be able to provide a stronger voice for the poor people of the nation.
Obama began to distance himself from Farrakhan during the campaign due to his history of racist and Anti-Semitic remarks. Still, Farrakhan reaches out to him and claims that “the white right is trying to set Barack up to be assassinated.”
