PLATFORM : Farrakhan’s Malice
First Axiom: Racism is racism. Uncondemned by black leaders, Farrakhan’s malice has helped infect the ghetto street, trickled down into rap lyrics, and become the ideological currency of black militants at UCLA and elsewhere. Should the government help fund it? How about bankrolling white-supremacist groups and crypto-fascist “social clubs” that also market hatred mixed with self-help?
Corollary to Axiom No. 1: Black racism is no prettier than white racism. Cooperating with Minister Farrakhan’s addiction to bigotry and lying sows confusion and anguish.

While we’re waiting, everyone’s security demands that the government hire a company in Venice in which blacks and Latinos collaborate.
