Palestinian Candidate For Governor Of Texas Says Whites Don’t Want To Work In Factories
[James Fulford]
Farouk Shami is a candidate for governor of Texas. He’s from Ramallah, originally, rather than, say Palestine, Texas. His Wikipedia entry says that “His company, the Houston-based Farouk Systems, currently employs 2,000 Americans…“, but that’s Wikipedia for you. It should say that he employs 2000 people in America, but he hires as few Americans as possible, because they don’t want to work for what he’s paying them.While the story below says that “race became an issue” in the campaign with his anti-white remarks, the story doesn’t mention that he’s a Palestinian-American immigrant, and when they talk about 9/11, they don’t mention that he’s an Arab, or whether he’s a Muslim.

Who is Farouk Shami? The real issue is not necessarily his religion (as to where and how often he practices – or not) or national origin but his credibility. Are his Public Statements factual or just Beauty Show hype?
Farouk in San Antonio (10/21/09): “I manage business in 106 countries, I have tens of thousands of employees, and we've brought billions of dollars to the state of Texas,” Shami said.
Fact Check:
• Farouk manufacturers the products and sells them to independent distributors/importers (in US and overseas), who in return sell to the salons. He DOES NOT manage these companies. They are his customers.
• Likewise the employees of these distributors or the salons which use his products are NOT Farouk’s employees.
• Farouk has always claimed that he sells only to the professional hairdressers, yet his products can be found in Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, HEB, as well as discount stores, thus reducing the salons’ retail sales.
Yes, Farouk has done well for himself BUT… He is NOT the sole owner of his companies - Farouk claims (as well documented in many articles and interviews, and then repeated by the media) to be a Billionaire; however he is NOT listed on Forbes List of Billionaires – with his ego, he definitely would make sure that he would be listed if he just could prove it.
