I know Farrakhan has been an ongoing conversation on the bad site and birder recently due to the slew of Black celebrities who’ve come out in support of his nasty creed. Now, reddit libs have made it their mission to make hotep crap seem as if it’s some massive phenomenon in the black community just because Kanye became a Nazi, so I don’t want to make it seem as if that’s the case.
But I’ve been watching old interviews of Farrakhan, and I think I get why black chuds like him. He uses black revolutionary language of yore, dressing himself up as some Malcolm X/Fred Hampton collaborator to first capture his audience and then ease them into the fash. Which is to say, he is charismatic as fuck, just like any famous fash leader ever. And just like every fascist, he uses anger at the material and social consequences of capitalism and points it at the Jews. There’s a video out there of him painting a vivid picture of America’s evil, using classic anti-imperialist language to make a powerful criticism of the great satan….only to follow it up with batshit insanity/anti-semitism.
Farrakhan is useful for explaining to white people that black people aren't a monolith. They have so much trouble with this.
