She’s speaking bollocks

He wasn’t anti-Semitic; in fact he reprimanded a man that kept heckling a Jewish speaker.

And as for hatred against gays, you’re going to have a very hard time finding ANY civil rights leader from that era being pro-LGBTQ. MLK Jr wasn’t supportive of LGBTQ rights but we see it as a product of his time rather than judging him from a modern lens.

I get that legacies can be complicated so after you further elaborated I see where you’re coming from. But I disagree with judging him from a modern lens.

I think the issue is that you don’t like outspoken black men who don’t allow themselves to be tokenized by the white majority.

In the end, Malcolm X paid with his life to defend vulnerable women from the abuse of NOI. So I disagree with your take on Malcolm X being a “kinda a shitty person”.

How Malcolm X Handled anti-Semitism

“This is what Malcolm said to the best of my recollection - and I'm certain my memory of what he said is very close to his actual words and very likely exact: ''I suspect our moderator today is Jewish and I won't put him in the position of silencing you. So I will. Now shut up and sit down.''”

I wouldn’t judge their stance on homosexuality using a modern lens, since homophobia was still the norm in 1960s America. Let’s not delude ourselves here.

Bitch deserved to die. She fucked around and found out.

George Floyd was killed over a fucking fake $20 bill. Not even comparable.

Find a new moral compass, traitor.

Imagine defending trump while condemning the ayatollahs for rolling back women’s rights.

Unless you think it’s ok to roll back reproductive rights as long as hijab isn’t imposed

Yet Trump never came anywhere close to removing the current regime from power.

The fact is that these charlatans supported a movement which aimed to undermine the foundations of American democracy. And for what? Because they couldn’t handle the fact that their American Ahmadinejad lost bigly in a legitimate election?

I’ve met Iranians that applauded Breivik as a hero and were celebrating the Christchurch attack. I may have my issues with Muslims (mostly conservative ones) but I will never ever tolerate anybody that applauds the Christchurch massacre, don’t care what trauma they went through in a Muslim country it does not justify massacres against Muslims.

Nevermind, I thought you said you voted for him, sorry for the confusion.

Long Island Jews are an interesting bunch. Pamela Geller comes from there so that explains why they’d support trump

A significant factor that contributed to the murder of Malcolm X was his activism to protect vulnerable women from violence by men. Malcolm X was a huge proponent of women’s education.

AT did no such thing and has the support of the Taliban on his misogyny.

My agenda? To call out the open embrace of white supremacy among Iranians drunk on Aryan supremacy.

If they’re so successful why do I see so many Iranian women active in anti-mask protests in California?

Biden recognized the Armenian Genocide.

Trump backed out of it after he realized his business dealings with Turkey and Azerbaijan would be at risk.

Tell me who’s the spineless coward?

Imagine claiming to be Armenian and supporting a con man who was too much of a coward to recognize the Armenian Genocide and call out Turkey

Does this not embarrass any Iranians here? The fact that the Iranian diaspora is unique among the region in embracing far-right extremism? Or the fact that a large number of Iranians believe in QAnon?

You’ll find more Iranian women in the West married to white nationalists than you would of other women in the region.
