I am not a supporter or defender of TNOI nor are they on my radar, but can you say this about right wing Anti-antisemitism?

'the young barack'? is that supposed to get him off the hook somehow?

'the young barack' was 44 years old when that picture was taken

and, no, it wasn't Farrakhan who suppressed the picture- it was the Congressional Black Caucus, and the photographer himself.

The fact that Louis Farrakhan was invited to speak, in the first place, is the issue that I cant get past. He should be shunned by all politicians. He has no business having a voice in our government.

How would black people feel if white congressmen invited the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan to talk about issues in the white community? That is how most Jewish people feel about Farrakhan being invited to speak.

I've always been floored by the fact that Farahan seems to get so much of a pass for the vulgar crap that drips out of his garbage hole of a mouth . It's epitome of a hypocritical double standard.

You speak hateful vile racist drivel, you should see repercussions, white black or otherwise.

Farrakhan also had a copy of the photo. It was his photographer who took it.

What gets to me is of all the people who hate Jews in America, Farrakhan is the most non-violent ,yet he is the most hated and feared.


Scalise admits his mistake and is allowed to move on



No. 3 Republican Admits Talking to White Supremacist Conference

Just a week before the start of a new Congress, the new House majority whip is fighting for his political life. His address to the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), a group founded by former KKK leader David Duke, was first revealed by a Louisiana blogger on Sunday.

I'm a Democrat and a liberal and I think all Democrats should disown any past dealings with Farrakhan, and avoid any future contacts. The guys is basically the leader of the black klan. He doesn't think racism is bad, only racism against black people.

Maybe when the Congressional Black Caucus admits their mistake and condemns Farrakhan, they will be allowed to move on. But that hasn’t happened yet.

“The Republican Jewish Coalition has called on eight black lawmakers to resign over their Farrakhan association. Not all have commented, but those doing so have been careful to denounce anti-Semitism without condemning the Nation of Islam leader himself.

“Many progressive Jews have reacted with shock to the Farrakhan adoration from leaders of the Women’s March,” said Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson. “That Farrakhan connection, however, has been public and unapologetic for years.”

Anyways why should you care was Farrakhan does, at least he's showing support to Iranians who will suffer thanks to his government's actions.
Wow

Again, defending a known a hate group. Shame has left the building.
