This comment from Farrakhan deserves a quick fisking:
MILWAUKEE -- Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said Mexican President Vicente Fox was right to say that Mexican immigrants take jobs "that not even blacks want."
Although Fox was sharply criticized for his remarks by some black leaders, Farrakhan said Sunday that blacks do not want to go to farms and pick fruit because they already "picked enough cotton."
"Why are you so foolishly sensitive when somebody is telling you the truth?" he asked the crowd at Mercy Memorial Baptist Church. He said blacks and Latinos should form an alliance to correct differences and animosity between the two communities.
I think it's the "not even" part of the Fox's statement that is obectionable. "Not even" indicates a lesser or lower stature.
Maybe Farrakhan would like to endorse this racist postage stamp from Mexico as well.
