Farrakhan didn’t hold back during the speech—launching into a tirade filled with racial slurs and explicit calls for violence against white Americans.
“We didn’t believe in no non-violence. The cracker hit you on your jaw, you break his neck. That’s the way we think,” Farrakhan shouted, drawing thunderous applause from the audience—including Baraka himself.
Later in the same address, Farrakhan referred to white people as “the enemy,” “demons,” and “the real devil,” adding:
“Now the enemy comes in. You, the Crips, and the Bloods, they’ll send people in to give you rumors about your brother over there. These demons will even kill a policeman and then blame it on you. You dealing with a devil, man. You’re not dealing with righteous people. This cracker is the real devil. And you better wake up and realize that.”
Farrakhan’s venom didn’t stop there. He also condemned interracial marriages, criticized Black Americans in the U.S. military, and warned against siding with “the enemy.”
“I better not catch you in no d— Army uniform fighting for the enemy,” he declared.
Despite the hateful rhetoric, this wasn’t a one-off for Baraka. Over the years, he’s hosted Farrakhan multiple times—giving him a platform to poison minds and sow division.
In 2012, while serving as a principal at Newark’s Central High School, Baraka invited Farrakhan to speak before over 1,000 students, according to a Nation of Islam-affiliated outlet. Then, in 2017, as mayor of Newark, Baraka welcomed Farrakhan again for a public address titled “Separation or Death,” where the controversial figure once again slammed the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and pushed for reparations and Black secession from the United States.
Asked recently by The Jewish Insider if he planned to step down amid the growing controversy, Baraka defiantly refused.
“I will not be cowed into denouncing my lifelong work for peace, equality, and equity,” he said. “These latest accusations and insinuations aren’t just false—they’re a reflection of the fear my candidacy is provoking in the political establishment.”
He also doubled down on his support for the Nation of Islam, despite its long-documented record of antisemitic and antiwhite hate.

“The Nation of Islam holds deep respect in many parts of the Black community because of the work they’ve done to reduce violence and support self-determination in neighborhoods that have been ignored and abandoned for generations,” Baraka added.
But critics say that’s no excuse for elevating a man the Anti-Defamation League calls “one of the most prominent antisemites” in U.S. history. The ADL maintains a long list of Farrakhan’s racist, hateful quotes—including many attacking Jewish Americans.
With Baraka’s ties to Farrakhan now back in the spotlight, Democrats in New Jersey—and across the country—face a new political firestorm: Will they stand by a man who applauds hate, or finally distance themselves from one of the most toxic figures in American political life?
