Louis Farrakhan: ‘I’m Not an Anti-Semite; I’m Anti-Termite’

FARRAKHAN: "Now, white folks don't like Farrakhan. Some of them respect me, but those who have been our deceivers, they can't stand me. I'm not mad with you. In fact, to the members of the Jewish community that don't like me, thank you very much for putting my name all over the planet—

(Applause)

— because of your fear of what we represent. I can go anywhere in the world and they've heard of Farrakhan. Thank you very much. I'm not mad at you because you're so stupid. Don't you know my teacher Elijah Muhammad taught me one day, he said there once was a donkey that fell in the ditch and everybody came along, they picked up a stone and threw it at the donkey. They threw so many stones till the ditch got filled up and the donkey walked out. So my teacher said, Brother, remember, every knock is a boost. So when they talk about Farrakhan, call me a hater, you know what they do? Call me an anti-semite. I'm anti-termite. Stop it! I don't know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference."
