The left’s exaltation of evil.
Washington, D.C. Honors Editor of Farrakhan’s Newspaper
By Ashley Rae Goldenberg, Capital Research, July 11, 2019
The Washington, D.C. government and a member of Congress recently honored a photojournalist and radio show host who works as the senior editor for the Nation of Islam’s The Final Call and frequently features Louis Farrakhan on his radio show. Recently, he has shared tweets praising Farrakhan’s book, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, which blames Jews for the slave trade, and content from a famous Holocaust denier.

Days before, the U.S. congressional record shows Washington, D.C. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton shared remarks asking her colleagues to join her in “honoring” Muhammad.
By honoring Muhammad, the Washington, D.C. government and Norton praised the accomplishments of someone who built his entire career—and has gained most of his influence—from defending a notorious anti-Semite.
This is not the first time the D.C. government honored Muhammad; he was also honored in April 2009, to mark his 30 years in the radio industry.
A summary of Muhammad’s career posted by local DC public radio show WAMU highlights Muhammad’s work for The Final Call, his “more than 25 years” as a commentator for NPR, and his current radio show on WPFW, “Yardbird Sweets.” According to a recent article featured on the front page of The Final Call website, Muhammad still serves as senior editor of the publication. Muhammad is simultaneously also the news director for WPFW.
Neither the Washington D.C. government nor Norton mentioned Muhammad’s work for Farrakhan’s The Final Call when honoring him.
In his 40 years of journalism, Muhammad is perhaps best known for taking the now-infamous photo of former president Barack Obama and Farrakhan. Muhammad said he kept the photo a secret until after the election out of concern for Obama’s political ambitions.
Just days after being formally recognized and celebrated by the D.C. government again, Muhammad sent out a tweet mocking the idea of Jewish “allies” and defending Farrakhan against claims of anti-Semitism. In the tweet, which was a response to the Nation of Islam’s Research Group, Muhammad referred to Jews as “co-religionists in the Zionist entity” who are too afraid to be seen as supporting Farrakhan:

Anti-semitism in the black community is real.
Farrahkan is the most blatant and Spike Lee is the most subtle.

Mr. Lee also whitewashes the Nation of Islam.
In his movie Malcolm X, he never mentions Farrakhan who was Mr. X’s arch-rival. And the man who called for his death.
Mr. Lee also boosted Farrakhan’s “Million Man March” in his movie “Get on the Bus.”

So that Negro knew that photo would out the other Negro so kept the photo a secret. This is quite unusual as Negroes hate each other EXCEPT, when they get a chance to hate the white man. Then they work closely with each other.

The blacks are the major racists in the US today and as such should be shunned and shamed. Most are losers blaming Whitey for their own failings.

Muhammad should be justly rewarded by the Commiecrats for keeping his fellow blacks slaving away on the Commiecrat plantation.

Louis Farrakhan’s lawyer is the mayor of London. Sadiq Khan.
(Alan Dershowitz is right. Farrakhan is more dangerous than David Duke, because Farrakhan and his followers have legitimacy as civil rights leaders.

Farrakhan is anti the termitic, Synagogue of Satan that promotes evil, injustice, lying, land-resource-stealing, filth, indecency, and unnatural, sexually-deviant lifestyles, undermining the moral fabric of society. The Supreme Being is Against the same wicked group of masqueraders, and Has Promised to Banish those off-beat demonic jokers from existence for infinity. #OnBorrowedTime ☝????✊????

Mr. Askia Muhammad is a black Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s minister of propaganda.

“moderate” Muslims supporting radical Muslims like Farrakhan, but still honored by Democrats as if they were moderate.

The left does everything it can to excuse or defend Louis Farrakhan, they probably see him as a “strong black man” or something.
