Calypso Louie: Why Don’t We “Tear This Godd*mn Country Apart” Over Ferguson?

12.01.2014 | Matt Fox |

The Nation of Islam leader is at it again.

Louis Farrakhan is threatening to “tear this goddamn country apart” over the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In remarks delivered recently at Morgan State University, Farrakhan instructed parents to teach their kids how to throw Molotov cocktails. “We going to die anyway. Let’s die for something,” he suggested.

The outspoken anti-Semite also argued that violence is justified under a “law of retaliation,” which he says can be found in the Bible as well as the Koran.

During the speech, the 81-year old also mistakenly referred to the town of Ferguson as “Jefferson.”

“These young people in Jefferson, there are not afraid of no tanks,” Farrakhan said, before correcting himself. “Ferguson, yeah. What did I say?”
