I'll see your spanking and up you a knuckle sandwich.
I'm just fooling around, really. I don't expect a thing from anyone, never have. I just wasn't raised that way.
Now if Farrakhan had said "we need better education" or "we need more job opportunities", who could really argue? And, being Americans, if he could prove there was a disparity, then something should be done to bring about parity. No contest. That isn't the Nation of Islam doctrine at all, however. They are against integrating with whites, they do not consider whites equals, in fact, they are every bit as racist as the whites they deplore. Their request has nothing to do with dissolving those boundaries that separate us, they want to build their version of the Berlin Wall.
So, boiled down to its essence the request amounts to "gimme, gimme, gimme". It is throwing money at a group of people hell bent on soaking as much guilt and money from society as they can get, with absolutely no intention of giving anything in return. They don't want to be citizens. They don't have to be citizens, but they sure as heck aren't entitled to handouts without the responsibility to behave as citizens afterward.
