      I agree that Farrakhan is not on the left and is in many ways a marginal figure, but things like Aretha Franklin's funeral keep happening. (And, yes, I see the body language. Still, he's there.)pic.twitter.com/kdCM7djOLU

      Was invited by the Franklin family, who aren't politician. As @goldietaylor points out, Farrakhan rejects electoral politics so is hostile to black political leadership

      He's always a reminder that the left really doesn't care too much about anti-semitism, if they care about it at all. It's a non-issue on the left, a nuisance.

      Farrakhan is anti-feminist, anti-LGBT rights, anti-participating in electoral politics, pro-Gold Standard, pro-business, and has expressed admiration for Donald Trump. Are these left wing positions?

      That nobody on the left has the courage to denounce him. They're afraid of him. Imagine how they'd react to anyone else with all those bad views.

      Condemn Farrakhan? Sure, happy to. Farrakhan is a fucking asshole: he's an anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist,grifter who was almost certainly complicit in the murder of Malcolm X. Thankfully, he's also a figure with a small & dwindling following.

          He’s not left, reread Goldies thread lol and he’s been rejected before you even knew who he was by the black community. Wake up and smell the coffee.

          Farrakhan is Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell if you swap out anti-Semitism with Islamophobia. They are all religious bigots. Farrakhan is considered a “leftist” bc he is theoretically “pro-black.” Yet inherent white supremacy at root of Christian fundamentalism is often ignored.
