In 1996, a Libyan leader put one billion dollars on the table for Black America. Washington made sure it never reached them. The offer came during Louis Farrakhan's visit to Tripoli in January 1996. Muammar Gaddafi pledged the money to the Nation of Islam for economic development-Black-owned banks, factories, housing, schools, hospitals. Not a loan. Not charity with strings. A gift from an African head of state to the descendants of enslaved Africans. Farrakhan did everything by the book. He applied to the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control for permission to accept the money. The Clinton administration denied it in August 1996. Libya was a state sponsor of terrorism. Sanctions barred the transaction. Case closed. Thoughts 💭 ⁉️
