More than a week after Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan delivered a blistering speech in Chicago in which he said “powerful Jews are my enemy” and “white folks are going down,” calls are growing louder for Democratic leaders and Women’s March founders with ties to denounce him or step down.
Among those in the line of fire are several members of Congress and Women’s March co-chairwoman Tamika Mallory, who attended the Nation of Islam’s national convention late last month, There, Farrakhan delivered the controversial address and Mallory, who has expressed admiration for him in the past, posted Instagram photos from the Chicago event.

"they seem to have a blind spot when it comes to [farrakhan's] anti semitism"
ellison, meeks, waters, lee, andre carson, al green and danny davis all attended farrakhan's race rallies since being elected to congress
ellison, meeks and carson went to dinner in 2013 with iranian president rouhani and calypso lou
womens march organizers linda sarsour and carmen perez attend nation of islam, sarsour praises the sartorial minister personally
all issue tortured statements, lengthy, they hate the hate, they've always called out racism
but they just can't bring themselves to condemn the man
at least antifa was at charlottesville
tamika went to the nation's natl convention in chicago just 2 weeks ago, she was singled out for praise by the racist on stage
it's kinda like giving roman polanski a standing O for the movies
it started when award winning photographer askia mohammed published the photo of beaming barack hussein boldly embracing lovable lou which mohammed snapped at a cbs klatch in 2005 and sat on for 13 years on "order from the cbc which believed it would hurt obama's election chances"
the atlantic (elite left) published a very long piece yesterday, "the womens march has a farrakan problem," which concluded:
That the group refuses to be accountable for a high-level alliance with an open anti-Semite disqualifies it from ranking among today’s movements for social justice.

ouch
disqualified is almost as bad as deplorable
strangely (or not), the thrust of the atlantic's interminable history is a kinda twisted (or forthright) justification for black upset with jews
oh well
y'know, the atlantic goes all the way back to james russell lowell
did you see wapo's kessler gave ellison 4 pinnochios?

"white people are only potential humans, they haven't evolved yet"
