Has Louis Farakkhan said things comparable in their offensiveness to what Richards said? Absolutely.

Minister Farakkhan has never been made to publicy apologize for his statements. Instead we are told of the good works his "millions" of followers do in becoming aware of cultural, racial, societal, and political issues.

His words of hate carry more weight because he has a cult of followers and defenders in the media and in public office. Michael Richards is a lonely comedian who will be ostracized.

"Made" how, exactly? At gunpoint? Being an anti-semite isn't illegal. If the Nation of Islam doesn't choose to discipline him or disassociate itself from his remarks, that's their choice. But he'd lost most of his credibility long before his current health crisis took him out of the public eye, and It's been years since I've seen media coverage of anything other than his latest anti-semitic rant. Certainly, no candidate is chasing his endorsement.

I don't know what media outlets you're watching, but you might want to look into some new ones.
