Farrakhan Group Targets Bennett
Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan will announce plans tomorrow to take action against radio host Bill Bennett for his comments last week suggesting the crime rate would decline if the black abortion rate went up. In a statement released Tuesday by Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement," the group says it will use a press conference on Wednesday to "issue a response to the racist comments of former Secretary of Education William Bennett who proposed genocide, or 'aborting all Black Babies,' as a remedy to America's crime problem." "Specific action will be announced to deal with William Bennett and his financial sponsors," the statement warned. In fact, rather than advocate a plan to abort black babies, Bennett said such a proposal would be "morally reprehensible."
Story Continues Below Tomorrow's press conference will also deal with Farrakhan's charge that New Orleans levees were deliberately blown up to flood black sections of the city. "The Millions More Movement supports this contention and calls for a federal investigation into this matter," the release said. "Lawsuits against the State of Louisiana and the federal government will also be discussed at this news conference." Ten days ago Farrakhan revealed that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin gave him secret information that a 25-foot crater was discovered beneath one of the collapsed levees. Repeated calls to Mayor Nagin's office to verify Farrakhan's account of their meeting have gone unanswered.
