How much political power does the Nation of Islam have? How many members of congress identify as members of the Nation of Islam?
Wikipedia says they have 20,000–50,000 members total. You're not making a meaningful or valid comparison by comparing the beliefs of <50,000 people to the the incredible power of structured prejudice in the USA.

- at_a_remove 6y agoThis is less about speech, then, or someone being called subhuman, as was your example, but more about who gets to say what to whom. That always seems to be the agenda behind these things.
