    If President Trump compared persons of any ethnicity or religion to termites, I would call that statement bigoted. Since Minister Farrakhan has compared Jews to termites, I must call that statement bigoted. Bigotry is unacceptable regardless of the source.https://tinyurl.com/y8rotobw

        When you received death threats last year for calling for the impeachment of Trump, members of The Nation of Islam came to your defense and spearheaded the rally/press conference. How quickly you forget. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/amp/Activist-community-leaders-demand-action-on-Al-11189313.php …

        We stood for you when your LIFE was threatened! Not the ADL, NAACP, Baptist Ministers, or your Democratic Party! We would have laid down our lives for you! This how you repay your real friends and loved ones? Thank you. I needed to know where we stood with you. #Farrakhanpic.twitter.com/Mr4Hrztg25

        Brother, I've never known you to bow down like this. How foolish of you to make this statement against a man that you know personally would never do such a thing like that. Watch the full lecture and come back and tweet back what YOU HEARD and correct your wrongs! ATONE BROTHER

        Wow!! It's amazing while Black people are subjected to having police called on us for nothing.... where is your statement about that?? Speak about Black issues before the issues of others. Minister is right or else there would be silence, if the shoe didn't fit.

        For the record Minister Farrakhan didn’t compare anyone to termites! Fear of the enemy makes men into mice. Your fear of them wont allow you to call out the anti-black actions of some members of the Jewish community.

        He wont. It is inexcusable to condemn someone w/out bothering to learn the context of the alleged offense. Black politicians have a double standard. They bend over backwards to condemn Farrakhan ("anti-semitic"), but they never condemn the horrific anti-Black actions the Israel.

        Your analogy is so wrong and unacceptable! That man has used words worst than "termites". The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan DID NOT say that. You need to retract and apologize.

        You are a real disappointment! What bigoted statement did he make? Did you hear @LouisFarrakhan in context? He said, “I don’t know anything about hating anyone because of their religious preference.” Last I checked termites didn’t have a religion; they hide while they destroy...
