Louis Farrakhan told a university audience that whites won't stop black-on-black violence because it provides organs for transplants.

"When you're killing each other, they can't wait for you to die," Farrakhan told a crowd of about 6,000 at the Univesity of Toledo. "You've become good for parts."The Nation of Islam leader also told the audience he was there to preach love, not hate.

"We can't blame white people for our self-destruction," he said. "Practice nonviolence on yourself. Love yourself and your people."
