Louis Farrakhan and the "White Devil" Narrative

Louis Farrakhan's "white devil" rhetoric is analyzed as a continuation of the propaganda funded by H.L. Hunt's estate.

A brief tangent explores how modern pop culture figures like Taylor Swift are used to parade specific racial and mating archetypes while allegedly engaging in "witchcraft."
