Celebrities including Chelsea Handler and Jessica Chastain shared a video clip with their millions of social-media followers showing a speech by Louis Farrakhan, the fiery Nation of Islam leader who has a history of anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic rhetoric.
“I learned a lot from watching this powerful video,” wrote Handler in blasting out the clip to her nearly four million Instagram followers on Sunday.

The post — shared amid international unrest sparked by a white Minneapolis cop’s fatally kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, a black man, on May 25 — reportedly racked up likes from celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jennifer Garner.
Several Instagram users slammed Handler for sharing a video praising Farrakhan. One replied, "So, based on this logic, if you find a video of Hitler saying something positive and powerful, will you feel equally compelled to share it? You gave hate credibility and a large platform today."
Handler responded, "No, because Hitler was responsible for killing millions of lives. Farrakhan is just responsible for his own promotion of anti-Semitic beliefs. They are very different.”
She added, "Another thing: perhaps Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic views took form during his own oppression," she wrote. "We know now that oppression of one race leads to an oppression of all races."
Farrakhan is taboo because he sad bad things about Jews. Had he just stuck to demonizing whites he'd be making the rounds on network TV.
But as you can see, even that’s changing. With BLM’s antisemitic AND anti-white bigotry promoting racism (except against blacks of course), we now even have famous celebrities willing to sing Farrakhan’s praises. I expect to see much more of the vile antisemitic vandalism such as we saw in L.A. yesterday. BLM has unleashed a torrent of hate.

BLM is also anti-LGBTQ... (Blacks have always been so), so why does the left embrace them?
