Civil Rights Groups Blasted for Role in Farrakhan's March

(CNSNews.com) - Conservative African Americans charge that liberal civil
rights groups lined up to support and participate in Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement" on Saturday, are getting a free
pass in terms of media scrutiny.
"Farrakhan has said some radical things, and yet the media continues to give
him a pass," Shelby Steele, a conservative African American from the Hoover
Institute, told Cybercast News Service.
Steele believes that liberal civil rights groups and individuals such as the
National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the
NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, all of
whom are expected to participate in Farrakhan's march on Saturday, should be
held accountable for Farrakhan's controversial and allegedly racist
statements of the past.
Steele said those black representatives should also be asked about
Farrakhan's remarks implying that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were
the result of a U.S. government conspiracy and that New Orleans levees were
intentionally blown up after Hurricane Katrina in order to flood the section
of the city housing poor blacks.
"[The media] would not give the (conservative) Heritage Foundation a pass
like that if the Heritage Foundation identified itself with [former Ku Klux
Klan leader] David Duke. The media would be all over it, but they are not
with Farrakhan," Steele said.
Jesse Lee Peterson, the founder and president of the conservative African
American group Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), also
slammed the media for not scrutinizing the liberal civil rights groups
affiliated with Farrakhan's march.
"[The media is] giving them a pass and they have done that for the last 40
years or so. If [the liberal civil rights groups] were white people and a
white organization was saying the same things, the media would not give them
that much support. But because they are black, they are allowed to get away
with it," Peterson told Cybercast News Service.
"Just as we would treat the Ku Klux Klan if they had a rally, in the same
manner we should treat Louis Farrakhan and the so called Millions More
Movement, because all he is doing is drawing in angry young folks and older
people and building on that anger and dividing the races in America,"
Peterson explained.
Peterson has labeled Farrakhan an "American Hitler" in his book "Scam: How
the Black Leadership Exploits Black America."
'Too white'
Farrakhan, while speaking at the National Press Club Thursday in Washington,
D.C., indicated that the liberal civil rights groups participating in
Saturday's march had expressed no objections to his controversial remarks.
Among other things, Farrakhan suggested that black Americans should not
donate hurricane relief money to the American Red Cross because the
organization was "too white."
"No, no one has, [expressed unease]" Farrakhan responded. "And there is a
reason that they have not," he added, explaining that the liberal groups
agree with him about the need to monitor relief organizations in New
Orleans, whose workers lack sensitivity toward minorities, according to
Farrakhan.
"The NAACP, the [National] Urban League, and a host of black leaders, met in
Washington D.C. at Howard University, called by Mr. Bruce Gordon of the
NAACP [and] Mr. Marc Morial of the [National] Urban League," Farrakhan
continued.
"And they want FEMA to be monitored. They want the Red Cross, the United
Way, all of these that have received so much from the compassion of the
American people. Where will that money go?" Farrakhan asked.
Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are scheduled to
participate in Saturday's march, including CBC chairman and U.S. Rep. Melvin
Watt, a North Carolina Democrat, Rep. Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat
and Rep. Albert Wynn, a Maryland Democrat.
A CBC spokeswoman refused comment when asked about Farrakhan's controversial
remarks. The National Urban League also refrained from commenting.
The NAACP only indicated that it would have a "contingent of people at
Farrakhan's event Saturday." Calls to the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference were not returned by press time.
Farrakhan and his followers on Saturday will commemorate the 10th
anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March in Washington, which by most
estimates at the time, attracted far fewer than the one million people
Farrakhan had expected.

Of course; Farrakhan is a black man, and nominally a leftist. That
he's a loony tunes freak is not relevant to the idiots in the media.
