DO AFRICANS IN U.S. & GAZANS FACE SIMILAR RISKS?

Black nationalist and Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan has warned that Africans in America are vulnerable in ways that Palestinians in Gaza are.

Speaking at the recent, virtually convened 9th Nubian Leadership Circle, the influential religious figure observed that African communities in America are not in control of basics like water and electricity.

This means that - if those communities are ever deemed a threat by the prevailing (White-centric) system - they can be denied access to these essentials, just as Tel Aviv has cut off Palestinians in Gaza.

He goes further: control of roads means control of food deliveries, so Black-majority cities like Jackson and Detroit could be starved like Gaza.

Farrakhan even indicates that there is a risk of targeted poisonings - via the contamination of food and water supplies serving African communities in America - claiming that “death is what they want for you”!

There’s a lot in this clip, some of the claims perhaps more surprising than others. Which of his points do you agree with?
