The anti Semitism in the black community: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s ties to Louis Farrakhan resurface: ‘Divisive and hateful rhetoric’


Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s ties to Louis Farrakhan resurface: ‘Divisive and hateful rhetoric’

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s link to controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is coming under scrutiny as he makes a bid to become New Jersey’s next governor.

Farrakhan, 91, has been labeled an extremist by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center for allegedly making antisemitic, anti-white and anti-gay comments.

“You and I are going to have to learn to distinguish between the righteous Jew and the Satanic Jews who have infected the whole world with poison and deceit,” Farrakhan said during a speech at a mosque in 2018.

But Baraka praised Farrakhan as a role model and strong “moral” leader when he introduced the minister during an event in Newark 2004 while serving as Newark’s deputy mayor.
