What would happen if the president of the Jewish ADL chapter posted a vehemently racist meme? He’d have to resign. But when an NAACP chapter president, and Farrakhan supporter, posts a Jew-hate meme, national leadership races to his defense.
Funny you should mention the Grand Poobah of the KKK because he's certainly a fan of Donald Trump.

So being a fan doesn’t mean anything! Is Trump meeting with him? (We had some KKK member endorse Hillary, by the way.)

On this thread we have (mostly black) liberals saying that Farrakhan is a big nothing and that a presidential candidate can meet with his followers.....no biggie....and on another thread it’s being reported that black students got a professor fired for mispronouncing a word. IOW, the Jews should just get over the fact that Dems buddy up with the “Jews are termites” Farrakhan, but blacks can be offended by a mispronounced word?

But I’d settle, as a start, for black Democrats who claim they’re against bigotry to not invite the disgusting POS to their meetings and happily sit next to him at funerals. They SHOULD be shunning him entirely. But hey....his venom is spewed at Jews, so it’s all fine. Bet if some White Supremacist said “blacks are termites,” you wouldn’t be so understanding if white Republicans happily ignored that and invited him to their meetings as an honored guest.

But Jews? Eh.
Ehhhhh is right.

There should be no denunciation. Period.

When are you going to denounce Stephen Miller then? You're always asking for groups to "self-police". How about practicing what you preach?
He’s Jewish, so he gets a racist pass.

I'm fine getting rid of the "Denouce" nonsense when it applies to a private person (not public figure). It is a slippery slope. How many degrees of separation before a person is intertwined with the beliefs of someone they speak to, or who endorses them, or carries a sign or made a social media post? But it needs to be consistent. And the woke mob isn't about to let it go.

Politicians should denounce actions, or public statements, related to groups they endorse, however.
No denunciation should be made. Bottom line.

Again, Biden should not utter a word of denunciation in regard to Farrakhan.

How can Joe Hiden be the chosen leader of the democrat party if he isn't willing to denounce racism in all its forms and specifically denounce Farrakhan and his followers ?
The democrats have made ending racism in all its forms the cornerstone of who they are !!!
They aren't deceivers full of BS are they ?
Truth is they should've already done it without being ask !!! Yeah, willingly !!!

And neither are you, so there is that. No one knows what anyone else has been through. No one is more special than everyone else.

Isn't that the guy that Trump denounced over, and over, and over, and over again but it was never enough?
Yeah. Meanwhile Biden says the most racist things, claimed Byrd was "friend," "mentor," and "guide" and is now trying to cozy up to Farrakhan and y'all turn a blind eye to all of it.

“Jews, eh”? You actually said that? Your contempt and disdain for Jews is palatable, and you carry on about how people are racist against blacks. The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Yes, you’re right. And as you can see from this thread, we have bigoted blacks who on one hand demand that Trump denounce a KKK member (which he did repeatedly) and then insist that Biden NOT denounce the antisemite Farrakhan.

Looks like the democrats are doing what they have always done !!!
Giving safe harbor to racism while trying to accuse everyone else of it !!!

What is the biggest, segregated by race, caucus in congress, the "Congressional Black Caucus" ? Or is there another one more racist ?

After ducking the question about David Duke and being pressed by reporters Trump finally got around to issuing a disavowal.




Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is trying to clean up a racially charged controversy Monday after he refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke over the weekend.
https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/28/polit...-supremacists/


And the fact remains that David Duke and racists in general are strong supporters of Trump.

Correct. Farrakhan has said some correct things, but has said many more horrible things which canceled the good.
