You go to Nigeria. Which is, if not the most corrupt nation in Africa—and it is—it could be the most corrupt nation in the world. Minister Farrakhan

[Loius Farrakhan]

Oh, now Mr. Wallace

[Mike Wallace]

It is the most corrupt nation that I have ever covered. I've been there twenty-five years ago and I've been there as recently as last year

[Loius Farrakhan]

Fine. So what?! Thirty-five years old. That's what that nation is. Now here's America, two hundred twenty-six years old. You love democracy? But there in Africa, you tryna force these people into a system of government that you just have accepted thirty years ago. Black folk got the right to vote. You not in any moral position to tell anybody how corrupt they are. You should be quiet. And let those of us who know our people go there and help them get out of that condition. But America should keep her mouth shut wherever there's a corrupt regime. As much hell as America has raised on the earth. No! I will not allow America or you Mr. Wallace to condemn them as the most corrupt nation on earth. When you have spilled the blood of human beings. Has Nigeria dropped an atomic bomb and killed people in, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Have they killed off millions of native Americans? How dare you put yourself in that position as a moral judge. I think you should keep quiet. because with that much blood on America's hands, you have no right to speak. I will speak because I don't have that blood on my hand. Yes, there's corruption there. Yes, there's mismanagement of resources. Yes, there is abuse. There is abuse in every nation on earth, including this one. So let's not play holy, to moralize on them. let's help them

[Mike Wallace]

I'm not moralizing. I'm asking a question and I got an answer

[Loius Farrakhan]

Why would you put it as the most corrupt regime in the world? That doesn't make sense

[Mike Wallace]

Can you think of one more corrupt?

[Loius Farrakhan]

Yeah. I'm living in one. I'm living in one. Yes! You've done a hell of a thing on this earth so you should not be the one to talk. You should be quiet when it comes to moral condemnation
