In reply to the discussion: Farrakhan Blames Jews For 9/11 [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)It was my expectation that Minister Farrakhans speech would focus on the many challenges facing the city of Detroit. In previous days, he had discussed efforts to revitalize our city by purchasing property and investing in blighted neighborhoods. Regrettably, he used this opportunity to promote views that have no place in civilized discourse."
But then he went to another one a few months later with no reason to expect anything but more hate speech. This means his original excuse was nothing but a lie he told to people he does not consider worthy of any respect.
I'm a man, Conyers is a man. He attends events at which my people are denigrated and verbally abused, pretends surprise at this denigration, fakes an apology then does it all again. This man finds that man lacking in basic human decency. That apology he offered was not sincere. He sat though bigoted hate speech, then he did it again. Maybe he's lots of other things, but he's also that.
