      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 …

      What could your point possibly be? Is there more to people than insane bigotry? Usually, but some behavior is so odious decent people don't say, "yeah but . . . " David Duke might be good about recycling or bringing food to a woman in need, but you'll never see me tweeting that.

      I'm glad you asked. People asked me: How could someone even like this monster of a man? I responded with this to give context for such a person.

          okay Shaun...but the fact is if someone told you "David Duke is a monster -BUT he sent my kid to college and helped my family out in tough times" what would you say to that person? You don't need to provide context for bigotry.

          Shaun keeps digging deeper & deeper. And making less & less sense.

          The correct answer is "They shouldn't, he is repulsive and I can't explain why anyone would support a racist."

          I unfollowed for you. I would never explain David Duke's good points. I'm sure he's been good to some. Who cares. He has a bigoted heart. Very disappointed.

          People may ask how can someone like this Man Farrakhan but they really don't care to really know this Man's character. They just want him out the way because he is exposing Satan. Let them cry it only strengthens my resolve for real Freedom, Justice, and Equality

          There ya go, Shaun. I don't get it because I don't understand that Farrakhan is exposing Jews as Satan. That's the audience your tweet is for. Thanks so much.
