If someone said they did not like Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitic policies but admired his love of dogs that individual would be attacked, mocked and shunned. The neo-marxist website, Little Green Footballs, lead by the increasingly mentally unstable Charles Johnson, would be among the first condemning that person praising Hitler’s love of dogs. Well, “The Race Detective” defended someone with an ideology similar to Hitler’s. He just did a post defending Derrick Bell’s praise of the anti-Semite and Black Supremacist, Louis Farrakhan. During that thread, he said although he doesn’t agree with Farrakhan’s racism but he praises what he calls the positive aspect of his message.
Wow, so Louis Farrakhan’s bigotry is given a pass because he has a positive message otherwise? If someone said that besides Pat Buchanan’s bigoted views the rest of his message is positive would Charles Johnson cut that person some slack?
The Race Detective then says that many black people he knew in the Jazz industry admired Louis Farrakhan. So because some black people like him he should be given a pass for his racist worldview. Also, odds are that blacks that like Farrakhan are racists as well (yes Killgore there are black racists). Why was Charles Johnson hanging out with black racists?
Louis Farrakhan, who preaches that some UFO led by Nation of Islam founder, Elijah Mohamed, will be manned by Black Aliens that will exterminate non Blacks on Earth is somehow a positive force?
This is what Charles Johnson actually sees in the mirror.
Charles Johnson, an aging, pasty faced white man who grew up in Hawaii, wishes he was black, so he defends black racists to appear cool and hip but in reality he is defending racism and bigotry. Next time the Race Detective accuses anyone of having ties to Nazis or White Supremacists, all one needs to do is point out he defended and praised Louis Farrakhan.
Does Charles have a soft spot for Farrakhan because the Nation of Islam hates Glenn Beck? No mainstream Liberal defends Louis Farrakhan, only far left Marxists like Charles Johnson do. Chuck has no shame!
Can you imagine him saying “Ron Paul, yes he can be a bit of a loon and an isolationist nut but I do like what he says about the Federal Reserve and our reckless spending habits”?

Boiler Room Crew Note: There once was a time Charles Johnson didn’t see anything positive in Louis Farrakhan’s message.
The 2007 version of Charles Johnson would denounce the 2012 deranged version!
More to come at Diary of Daedalus about Chuck’s old views of Louis Farrakhan.

Addendum from savage…
As I have said for years and years, and Rodan can attest to this fact, Charles Johnson is a hardcore Stalinist that worked very hard over the years to hide that fact from his readership and outside audience. As time went by, the majority of people started waking up to that fact when Charles went on his purges in 2008. Tis a shame that he had a cash cow that could have translated into a fat paycheck.
One good thing that has come out of this whole little drama is this website, and of course the great and powerful Diary of Daedalus, where anyone can sit in the comfort of his or her home and marvel at the gift that keeps on giving. Ah, good times, good times indeed!
Charles, I have to tip my hat off to you for not unplugging your site, you give hundreds if not thousands of people a place to go to laugh their asses off. Not many places you can go to view a textbook case of insanity.

There’s really no doubt that Louis Farrakhan is a preacher of hatred; his antisemitic statements are legendary, he’s a notorious supporter of Saddam Hussein and Robert Mugabe and countless other thuggish dictators, and he toured the Middle East in 2002 giving vicious speeches against Israel and the United States in the capitals of the Arab world.
