      Shaun King Retweeted Brother Ben X

      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 …

      That doesn’t mean how you see him is false. But it absolutely means that how this man sees him is valid. And that those two views are hard to reconcile. And I understand that. My piece for @theintercept will unpack how so many of us live in two very different bubbles.

          If that was a verbatim quote from Trump, I must have put it out of my mind. In the event, we agree.

          TBH, as someone who hated Farrakhan before it was cool, the current controversy is a day late, a dollar short, and steeped in a whole lot of ignorance towards Black people/communities. That’s why many of us a fed up with the convo

          You can’t condemn the president’s supporters for caring only about how he helps them and not caring about his bigotry, and then make this argument. I’ve not seen you rush to their defense to explain that their views are valid.

          a person's view of someone can be both true and incomplete. In fact, that's how all of us look at people who are good to us.

          If those of us of Jewish ancestry rightly criticize Farrakhan, can anyone criticize Netanyahu, and his actions against Palestinians and African immigrants?
