Louis Farrakhan Silences Guest Phil Donahue Who Claims White People Were ‘Doing Backflips’ for Black People in Remastered Clip

Phil Donahue, “The King of Daytime Conversation” he died on the age of 88, on Sunday evening, surrounded by family, including his wife, actress Marlo Thomas.

Since news of the famed talk show host’s death made headlines, lots of his hottest moments have resurfaced on various social media platforms — one in all which got here from his show, “The Phil Donahue Show.” In a 1990 episode, Donahue invited controversial religious leader Louis Farrakhan as a guest for a two-part discussion of the show’s problems with racism, equality, and injustice with the audience.

In a recently revived clip, Donahue is seen holding a microphone in front of a white audience who expressed her frustration with Farrakhan, saying white people have done one of the best they will in terms of equality.

She said, “I’m so sick and tired of this chip you carry around on your shoulder. We were bending backwards, doing backflips, just to make you feel equal.” As the group roars with applause, she continues, “We did everything.”

The refreshed clip sparked recent comments from viewers who shamed the viewer who originally viewed it for his views.

One person rhetorically asked, “Wait a minute. Is this Original Karen?” Someone else wrote, “Original woman, imagine being so openly angry that people want to be treated as equals.”

A 3rd person simply asked, “Why is she angry?”

In the identical clip, Donahue, who is thought for being one in all the primary to permit viewers to ask guests questions throughout the show, approached a black woman who had a matter for the Nation of Islam leader. She desired to know what the community should do to assist the younger generation and improve the country. She explained, “We can’t leave America. We have roots here and we would like to stay, but we would like to make it a better America.”

Farrakhan, who was born in the Bronx, New York, calmly responded, addressing each women with a smile. He said, “If we want our children to be better, one of the things we have to do is teach them to know themselves. As a little boy, my blessed mother constantly instilled in me the love and pride of being black. She made me know my history, my roots. So I grew up with self-love and security.”

“I never feel inferior, and I certainly don’t feel superior,” he said, pointing to the primary lady as she spoke, “but that virtue that the young lady spoke of is my confidence, my self-assurance, my ability to speak the truth without fear. I don’t bend over when I don’t have to. I don’t scratch where it doesn’t itch.” As Farrakhan spoke, the camera pans back to the audience, where the primary lady may be seen turning her head, rolling her eyes and sighing.

But none of that intimidated Farrakhan. He said, “I look white people in the eye and I speak to you honestly, sincerely, openly and without hypocrisy. This is not a chip. This is simply the confidence that comes from self-awareness. Teach your children that, and whether we are here or there, we will be able to create a future for ourselves.”

Donahue’s show ran for nearly three a long time, and the host gained an iconic fame for using his platform to deal with controversial topics that his viewers could engage in. Some of the show’s attention-grabbing topics included homosexuality, women’s rights, civil rights, and consumer protection.

He is survived by his wife, Marlo Thomas, whom he married in 1980, and 4 children together with his first wife, Marge Cooney.
