"Jews are among the most racist white people I know." Declared Ellison [laughably]:
“We stand by the truth contained in the remarks attributed to [Ms. Jackson], and by her right to express her views without sanction.

Minister Farrakhan is a tireless public servant of Black people, who constantly teaches self-reliance and self-examination to the Black community.”
