These things don't even upset me anymore, but sometimes it's necessary to put a person in their place:
So, let's discuss Farrakhan:
First, he's wildly anti-LGBT. He's highly religious, and insists on abstaining from alcohol and drugs. He thinks that women belong in the home, and men should be breadwinners. HE supported Dolt45, but in truth for cynical reasons. He's also hateful towards jewish people and white people (a lot of black people his age are - growing up in a violently white supremacist country does that). In short, he's strongly conservative.
He was also one of very few people willing to protect black people from crime in any organized manner when I was growing up in the 80s - while police would happily beat or shoot black people without cause (oh, wait), the Fruit of Islam would reform guys in prison, keep people from fighting, and would chase off actual thugs (as in violent people, not the "any black dude" meaning that some of you guys use). In truth, he's never been any threat to white jewish people, and was often not as hard on black jews as white jews were. No white democrat has given a damn about him for decades, and what harm he's done has entirely been to black people.
So, instead of quoting Nazi wannabes, how about you just keep away from this subject entirely, since it's very clear that you're just trying to use racist fear to score points?
