Would be interesting to see that poll but the media would never publish it .
Farrakhan is a fan of Trump. They are both big time buffoons and conmen...so it makes sense.

Go chew on that for a while.

I’m saying it’s disgusting that Newsweek , a mainstream media outlet would write an article intended to introduce people to Farrakhan and not mention the terrible things he’s said about Jews , whites , gays.

It is a fact that Farrakhan has said these hateful things just see my link above to read the quotes.
Okay, put another way: I believe your criticism of his antisemitism and homophobia is insincere, as I don't think you're genuinely concerned about those aspects. I have a very hard time believing Tucker Carlson cares about that either.

Nipsey Hussle may have done some good for the community, but he certainly wasn't an ally of the LGBT community, nor has Farrakhan ever been. It would be like if Dan T. Cathy were to die and Pat Robertson were to speak at his service, and Fox News or Breitbart writes something to the effect of "Pat Robertson spoke at Cathy's funeral." Then, a left-leaning source criticizes that media outlet for not including what a vomit Robertson is. I believe Cathy does engage in some philanthropy and he does provide jobs, but it doesn't change the fact that he aggressively undermines and attacks the LGBT community. Likewise, Robertson suckers people out of money by reinforcing their prejudices and he also actively targets the LGBT community.

In this case, it's pretty shameful to use that as a guise to raise your "point."

I never said otherwise. I merely noted your "concern" for it...

It’s not insincere . I find it disgusting as should everyone . But clearly it seems that none of the people at the Nipsey Hussle funeral or those that watched it have any problem with antisemitism or homophobia and that is pretty disturbing.

That should of been a huge media story but of course the liberal media is extremely dishonest .

And there it is—the agenda I referenced earlier. That brings me back full circle to the original point. Your issue always was with the source reporting it, hence why you sang the praises of Tucker Carlson's "integrity" and hid behind a matter of social justice (which I know damn well isn't the case).

Curiously, you never mentioned that, on-air, Carlson laughed at a Pulse massacre survivor. Tucker Carlson has also routinely ridiculed the LGBT community and isn't really in a position to be advocating for us, and frankly we could really do without his endorsement. Where's your outrage there? Don't be so phony, you may find life more fulfilling if you actually be genuine.

And for the love of God, please stop using quotes that pertain to the slaughtering of millions of Jews. It's gag worthy.
We all know how people like you and the OP think. In your eyes, Farrakhan's views represent all people that look just like him. You basically paint all black americans as being the same.

People like you love to hide behind fake outrage. You could care less about LGBT, Jewish Community, Patriotism, etc.....

We see right through the fakeness and hypocrisy.

Sorry but if you don’t see the ridiculousness of an article meant to introduce people to Louis Farrakhan that makes no mention of his anti semitism , racism and hate for gays well ..

Also I don’t know what you are talking about in regards to him laughing at a pulse massacre survivor or LGBT community , can you actually reference that ?

This sounds like one of those “Trump is racist “ claims .

Newsweek is liberal, and the new thing is for Democrats to "overlook" antisemtitism. This was yet another prime example.

At the same time, they accuse the other side of being bigots.
