The 45-year-old comic took to Instagram on Sunday and shared an old clip from "The Phil Donahue Show" where Farrakhan was taking questions from the audience

"I learned a lot from watching this powerful video," Handler told her nearly 4 million Instagram followers.

One woman asked why can't "white people, black people, Jewish people" "come together." Farrakhan responded by saying that "the desire is good" but that reality is the "total opposite."

He accused the audience of viewing black Americans as "second-class or inferior citizens" and enforcing "black inferiority" by stripping their African culture dating back to slavery and pushed white culture onto them, citing "white names," the English language, and "white Jesus" as examples.

When another white audience member expressed her concern that she "hears violence" from his rhetoric, Farrakhan insisted she had "deep guilt" and feared that "if black people come to power" that they would commit violence on white people, he says, the way white people had committed violence on black people for years.
