Louis Farrakhan Research Paper

Improved Essays
After going on a wicked rant against Jewish people, a Washington, D.C. democrat lawmaker has been busted for funneling money for the poor to help advance radical Islam, according to the Media Research Center.

In late January, White made a $500 donation to the Nation of Islam, whose leader, Louis Farrakhan, has a history of denigrating Jews and Christians. The funds came from White’s “constituent services account,” a private fund raised by local leaders to help indigent families in the D.C. area.

Presumably, he was taking after Farrakhan and just couldn't stand to show an ounce of respect toward Jews.

With pressure mounting over his possible illegal action to funnel campaign money to a known terrorist-sympathizer, White is trying to backtrack. He said he wasn't aware that the donation to Farrakhan's group had been made, and claims the community fund’s treasurer, Darryl Ross, was

    In Knocking the Hustle: Against the Neoliberal Turn in Black Politics, Lester Spence examines the predominance of neoliberalism in Black communities. He challenges policies over the last forty years, which produced profit under the guise of community development. Spence finds that the neoliberal policies have the worse impact on Black communities. This paper will argue that because of the idea of the hustle, charter schools, and Black political actors, urban Black communities remain tied to poverty because neoliberalism deprives dependent communities of resources in the false hope of the private sector or market using their resources to help society.…

    Booker T. Washington, according to Gutek (2013), walked a tightrope of competing interests (p. 314). “He tried to appease Alambama’s white political structure, soliciting funding from northern philanthropists, and working to improve the condition of African Americans in the South” (Gutek, 2013, p. 314). Gutek (2013) wrote that Washington emphasized a self-help doctrine by which African Americans would advance through their own self-reliant efforts as farmers, workers, and teachers (p. 314-315). Washington advised African Americans to stay put where they were and that whites would fund a basic education for them and later hire them as trained workers. “Washington accommodated the policy of racial segregation when he told whites that the races could remain separate socially as long as blacks were not…

    The Noble Influence “Success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed” (Booker T. Washington). Booker T. Washington was the most influential African American activist during the late 19th century. Born a slave during 1856, he passionately fought for a change. The horrifying moments he faces as a slave only increased his motivation to change the future of African Americans. Later in life he proceeded to become the founder of Tuskegee Institute where he taught that the acceptance of discrimination and hard work was the way to gain respect of the white men; the path to equality (Newman, Harvey).…
