This is her version of 'fine people on both sides'.

The point is that Black people know how to balance the work done by the Nation of Islam and how to reject Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic behavior. Interesting, that these same progressives and liberal Jewish people are not force to answer for the state sanction discrimination of Israel

this is like neo nazi at charlotteville asking us to consider the perspective of their communities, and their group's appeal to them.

There is ZERO difference between a white supremacist KKK lover and a supporter of the Nation of Islam. Both are hate filled, divisive and vile extremists. @TamikaDMallory can try to spin it, but it's really that simple to reasonable minded people.

I'm kinda wondering if Ms. Mallory's thinking isn't exactly the thing that brought up Trump.

@TamikaDMallory would rightly drop Bernie in a heartbeat if he spouted anti-black rhetoric. There can be no exceptions. She cannot lead the @womensmarch

There is a desire for order & safety in the breasts of most humans still, when the familiar is threatened they reward those who restore, or promise to, order. Whether black, white, German, French, or American or Palestinian, this is a fact, leaders who fail this lose appeal.

Because she’s a phony and should resign. Wouldn’t a white woman attending Klan rallies have to?

Sorry, but this article and Mallory's position/responses, are dishonest. This isn't complicated. Regardless of personal history/political goals, Mallory must publicly condemn some of Farrakhan's positions. Otherwise, she's a hypocrite/opportunist.

And @Russian_Starr piece in the @TheRoot who gets the black community perspective
