While I agree with much of this post, the mental gymnastics people are willing to go through to essentially not hold certain people responsible for not condemning Farrakhan is exhausting. We would not engage in this Barnum and Bailey act for anyone else—and this, in and of itself, is very racist. This is not about white people “demanding to be heard.” This is about Jew hatred and people using racism to DEMAND a pass. Sorry lots of if come from disenfranchised groups and don’t special exceptions when our leader behave in terrible ways. Stop making excuses. You’re winning over no one.
