"Minister Louis Farrakhan chastised Barack Obama this week for reprimanding black people about jeopardizing his “legacy” if they didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton. He also accused the president of supporting Israel and the gay community instead of the black community.
“I just want to tell you, Mr. President, you’re from Chicago, and so am I,” said Minister Farrakhan during a service at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. “I go out in the streets with the people. I visited the worst neighborhoods. I talked to the gangs. And while I was out there talking to them, they said ‘You know, Farrakhan, the president ain’t never come. Could you get him to come and look after us?'”
“There’s your legacy, Mr. President…it’s in the streets with your suffering people, Mr. President. And if you can’t go and see about them, then don’t worry about your legacy… ’cause the white people that you serve so well… they’ll preserve your legacy — the hell they will — but you didn’t earn your legacy with us!
“You didn’t earn your legacy with Black people. You fought for the rights of gay people… You fight for Israel…Your people are suffering and dying in the streets! That’s where your legacy is. Now you failed to do what should have been done.”

Farrakhan said it’s time to let Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do “what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy.”
Farrakhan, 83, advised the president to come back to Chicago, where he began as a community activist.
“Come on back to the hood; start organizing like you did,” he said." image above from eurweb

"On Sept. 18, Minister Louis Farrakhan slams President Barack Obama’s recent plea to Black voters at the Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.
During his final address to the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama urged Black voters to support Hillary Clinton.
However, Farrakhan believes the president failed the Black community and does not deserve to ask them to support Clinton.
He adds that Obama did not help the people suffering in Chicago, and many residents were disappointed by his inability to come and speak with them.
“There’s your legacy Mr. President,” Farrakhan starts. ” It’s in the street, with your suffering people … And if you can’t go and see about them, the white people you’ve served so well, will preserve your legacy. The hell they will. You didn’t earn your legacy with us … [Obama] didn’t earn your legacy with Black people. You fought for the rights of gay people. You fight for Israel. Your people are suffering and dying in the streets!”"
