I want you to see this tweet and all 3 photos. For context. Look closely.
What I want you to understand is that while it is true for many of you that @LouisFarrakhan represents bigotry, this man’s love of him has absolutely nothing to do with anti-Semitism or bigotry.https://twitter.com/brotherbenx/status/968223725874270209 …
I want you to see this because many of my friends say: How could anyone love a bigot like Farrakhan? Because how you see him and how other people see him is as different as night and day. This man says “Farrakhan saved my life.”
Would you extend this open mind and leniency of spirit towards someone who has said the things Farrakhan has said about Jews to another marginalized group? I doubt it. You have been a clarion voice, calling out bigotry and bias without wavering or bending. Why now a blind spot?
why is white america extending a open mind to a president that has admitted to being a predator of women or evangelicals that tried to put Roy Moore in office or a president that said that the KKK are good people. ??? what did I miss. Shaun is a free man with free speech you know
I am incredibly disappointed that you would amplify this sentiment. Imagine someone saying this about Richard Spencer a host of other racists. How very Mussolini got the trains running on time
This is no different to why some people love white supremacists.
Shaun, this is deeply disappointing. Stop relativizing this.
I generally appreciate you, Shaun. I don’t always agree with you, but I think you have good in your heart and you act outwardly to share that goodness. But I think you would have a hard time showing this kind of understanding to many of those you critique in similar situations.
What you say could be said about so many people we abhor. Most are not horrible people to every single person they come in contact with. There are those that could say the same of Trump, of David Duke, of Milo. It is not a defense.
They say that about Trump also
Oh my. We've heard similar defenses recently... I think they were wearing red hats.
He is an unapologetic anti-Semite and vicious homophobe. There is no excuse for defending him. Period.
I am just curious what happens if folks say that about a racist white pastor? I personally never would, but that argument could be made as somehow equal. All humans have value to someone?
He saved mines too!!!
#We Love Our Minister.
David Duke might have saved someone's life once. So what?
