Madonna posts a Farrakhan promotion on Instagram

 

On July 4 – the same day that Louis Farrakhan gave an ugly, antisemitic speech to a nationwide audience – Madonna posted an excerpt of another Farrakhan speech on her Instagram.

It wasn’t just an excerpt – it was a Nation of Islam advertisement for that antisemitic speech.

At that point, Madonna could not have been unaware of the controversy over Farrakhan’s speech being pulled from Fox Soul TV.

And even if she could credibly claim to be blissfully unaware of Farrakhan’s hate, there is no way she doesn’t know the contents of that same speech today.

Yet she has kept her promotion for an antisemitic speech on her Instagram, which according to JTA has racked up over 700,000 views.

There is no excuse for a person who claims to be in the vanguard of anti-racism to support and help promote the views of an ugly antisemite.
