'''Louis Abdul Farrakhan''' (born '''Louis Eugene Walcott''' in [[Massachusetts]], May 11, 1933 - ) is the [[leftwing]] leader of the [[Nation of Islam]] (a political and religious American group with a race-based, black supremacist philosophy). He has attracted a lot of attention for his outspoken [[black nationalism]], his negative remarks about white people (though Farrakhan is himself part-white), his [[anti-Semitic]] remarks, and his overall [[demagogue]]ry. The [[Anti-Defamation League]] identifies Farrakhan as the nation's “leading anti-Semite."<ref>[https://www.adl.org/resources/profiles/the-nation-of-islam The Nation of Islam], Anti-Defamation League.</ref>
'''Louis Abdul Farrakhan''' (born '''Louis Eugene Walcott''' in [[Massachusetts]], May 11, 1933 - ) is the [[leftwing]] leader of the [[Nation of Islam]] (a political and religious American group with a race-based, black supremacist philosophy).
After the death of NOI founder [[Elijah Muhammad]] and the splintering of his followers into several groups (among which was Elijah's son Wallace, whom Farrakhan originally followed; Wallace would later abandon the NOI name and most of its teachings), Farrakhan (who remained loyal to Elijah) reestablished the NOI and reclaimed its name.
