"The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man"
About this Quote
The subtext is older than the sentence: antisemitism as a language of inverted victimhood, where Jewish criticism becomes evidence of Jewish control, and the accused becomes the truth-teller. Calling Hitler "a very great man" is not a historical argument; it’s a signal. It tells listeners that the speaker is willing to violate polite consensus, that he won’t accept the postwar moral hierarchy that places Jewish suffering beyond political bargaining.
Context matters because Farrakhan’s public identity has long fused Black nationalist grievance with conspiratorial accounts of Jewish influence. This line is calibrated for an audience primed to see institutions, media, and finance as rigged against them. It converts real experiences of racism and exclusion into an explanation with a villain, then uses taboo praise of Hitler to polarize the room: you’re either shocked and gone, or you stay and prove you’re loyal.
