Farrakhan to Jews:
We're not your slaves
By LAUREL SUOMISTO
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES _ In a speech civic leaders tried to
block for fear it would inflame racial tensions, Black
Muslim head Louis Farrakhan accused Jews of
exploiting blacks and warned, "We're not your slaves
any more."
Farrakhan devoted most of his Monday night
address before an enthusiastic crowd of up to 12,000
to exhorting blacks to seize economic power and
develop their own businesses.
But the leader of the Chicago-based Nation of Islam
also heaped scorn on the city's black mayor and
elected officials who had opposed his appearance and
jenewed earlier criticism of the American Jewish
*
community.
"Some say the black-Jewish relationship is too precious
to allow one man to destroy, and I guess that
one man is supposed to be me," said Farrakhan, 54.
"I personally ... do not wish that we have a relationship
with anyone on a master-slave basis. We're not
your slaves any more."
Outside the Convention Center, about 10 demonstrators
from the Jewish Defense League shouted
^ - XT 1 rv ..

gathered. ? ?
There was no violence, but league leader Irv Rubin
and others were hustled from the center's courtyard
to the street by two dozen Nation,of Islam guards
clad in suits and bow ties.
Farrakhan's appearance had been billed as a promotion
for his "Respect for Life" cosmetics business, an
offshoot of his ?oonomic movement called POWER,
or People Organized and Working for Economic
Rebirth.
But Mayor Tom Bradley, a black whose four-term
hold on City Hall has been due in part of the support
of the Jewish community, worried publicly that Farrakhan
would rerun an 1985 speech that angered
Jewish leaders.
After being told by city attorneys Farrakhan's
appearance couldn't be canceled, Bradley announced
that racially divisive rhetoric would be unwelcome.
The City Council and the Los Angeles County Board
of Supervisors unanimously took similar stands.
