DO A SEARCH FOR FARRAKHAN AND OBAMA AND ERIC HOLDER.
Publicly Funded University Appoints Antisemitic Farrakhan Supporter as Ethnic Studies Dean
8 comments
California's Jewish communities warned that the push for ethnic studies was just educational antisemitism. And, indeed, the ethnic studies movement is full of Farrakhan allies, from BLM's Melinda Abdullah to the dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at California State University.
Her name is Julianne Malveaux. She enjoys long walks on the beach and hating everyone. Especially Jews.
The incoming dean of the newly created College of Ethnic Studies at California State University, Los Angeles is an ally of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and has publicly expressed hope that Clarence Thomas dies an early death.
During a public television appearance in 1994, Malveaux said of Justice Clarence Thomas: “I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease.”
BLOG EDITOR: OBAMA AND ERIC HOLDER CRONY MUSLIM FARRAKHAN IS ONE OF THE MOST RACIST, ANTI-SEMITIC AND HOMOPHOBIC HATE MONGERS OPERATING TODAY. BUT WHERE DOES HE GET HIS LOOT???
In a 2018 column for the Birmingham Times, she wrote, “White people’s hatred for Minister Farrakhan is irrational and, might I say, racist.”
A 2018 article in the Nation of Islam’s newspaper, the Final Call, quoted Malveaux as saying, “until these Jewish people who are running around asking Black people to buck dance, until they ask White people to buck dance, I ain’t having it! I’m just not having it!” The article also quoted her as saying, “Min. Farrakhan has never picked up a gun and shot anybody. These people need to just back off.”
Taxpayers are responsible for about half of CSU's budget.
The CSU’s operating budget has two main funding sources: the state General Fund and student tuition and fees. State funding now covers slightly more than half of the CSU’s operating costs, with tuition and fees making up for the remainder.
While some academics get canceled over the slightest offense, Julianne Malveaux gets to serve as dean despite a long history of supporting a racist and anti-semitic hate group.
The president of Cal State LA, William A. Covino, in a press release announcing the appointment, said, “This is a significant appointment for the college, but also for the city and the nation.” The release paraphrases him as saying “Malveaux’s long and accomplished record in academia and her history of advocacy will serve her well in her new role as dean of the college.”
This is the racist "advocacy" that Democrats and their academic system support.
Incoming Cal State Dean Defended Farrakhan, Attacked Jewish Critics
Julianne Malveaux: 'White people's hatred for Minister Farrakhan is irrational' and 'racist'
An incoming dean at California State University Los Angeles is a staunch defender of the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and has denounced the minister's Jewish critics.
Julianne Malveaux, whom Cal State L.A. appointed to lead its newly established College of Ethnic Studies, wrote in 2018 that "white people's hatred for Minister Farrakhan is irrational and … racist" after the Women's March movement faced calls to denounce its ties to Farrakhan, who has compared Jews to termites.
In a series of past remarks uncovered by school reform journal Education Next this week, Malveaux also lashed out against Jewish critics of the Nation of Islam leader. Malveaux condemned a congressional effort to denounce Farrakhan in 2018, framing the push to condemn the minister as being led by Jews asking black people to "buck dance," according to the Nation of Islam's official newspaper, the Final Call.
"We have tens of thousands if not millions of people, black people, in these United States who are members of the Nation of Islam. They are productive people in our community, who many of us interact with, work with, on a daily basis," the Final Call quoted Malveaux as saying. "They are not racist people. They are not anti-Semitic. They are black people. So, until these Jewish people who are running around asking black people to buck dance, until they ask white people to buck dance, I ain't having it! I'm just not having it!"
Malveaux reportedly appeared at a 2005 event hosted by Farrakhan, where she criticized attacks on the Nation of Islam leader's rhetoric.
Farrakhan has a history of making anti-Semitic remarks. The Nation of Islam leader has attributed "pedophilia and sexual perversion" in Hollywood to "Jewish influence," said that "powerful Jews are my enemy," and accused Jews of being responsible for the slave trade in the United States. Farrakhan in 2018 tweeted, "I'm not an anti-Semite. I'm anti-Termite."
Malveaux, a columnist and former president of Bennett College, is also a staunch critic of Israel. During the country's latest conflict with the terrorist group Hamas last month, Malveaux wrote that the Jewish state "has a lock on U.S. foreign policy" and that "too many Jewish people say that criticism of Israel makes you anti-Semitic."
In a 1994 appearance on PBS, Malveaux said she hoped for the death of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease," she said.
Malveaux is set to take the helm of the College of Ethnic Studies on July 1, according to Cal State L.A.
Chelsea Clinton Urges Democrats to Condemn Farrakhan for Comparing Jews to Termites
(Updated)
Chelsea Clinton on Wednesday called on Democrats to condemn Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan for comparing Jews to termites and calling his Jewish critics "stupid."
Farrakhan, who has a long history of making anti-Semitic comments, thanked his Jewish dissenters for spreading his name all over the world. He proceeded with a diatribe about his "stupid" Jewish critics.
"To members of the Jewish community that don’t like me, thank you very much, for putting my name all over the planet because of your fear of what we represent," Farrakhan said. "I can go anywhere in the world and they’ve heard of Farrakhan. Thank you very much."
He went on to say that he wasn't mad at the Jewish community because he believes that they are "so stupid" and that "every knock is a boost."
"They call me an anti-Semite. Stop it. I’m anti-Termite. I don’t know nothing about hating somebody because of their religious preference," Farrakhan continued.
Clinton castigated Farrakhan on Twitter for his "dangerous" rhetoric, saying it made her "skin crawl." She then signaled to Democrats that they should find Farrakhan's comments as "equally unacceptable" as President Donald Trump's comment about immigrants "infesting our country."
Twitter responded to the backlash Farrakhan's tweet received by saying it was not in violation of the company's current policies. "Just in from a @Twitter spokesperson: Louis Farrakhan's tweet comparing Jews to termites is not in violation of the company's policies. The policy on dehumanizing language has not yet been implemented," BuzzFeed News reporter Joe Bernstein tweeted.

While Clinton wrote a strong condemnation of Farrakhan, it is unclear what her dad thinks of him. Former President Bill Clinton shared a stage with Farrakhan last month at Aretha Franklin's funeral celebration.
Farrakhan has been a lightning rod of controversy for several people in the Democratic Party who have associated with the minister, including the organizers of the Women's March, a resistance group against Trump, and Democratic National Committee deputy chairman Keith Ellison. Women's March leaders Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour have a history of criticizing Israel and being closely connected to Farrakhan.
Mallory received backlash back in March for attending Farrakhan's annual Saviours' Day address, an event where the Nation of Islam leader attacked "that Satanic Jew," called Jews "the mother and father of apartheid," and proclaimed that "when you want something in this world, the Jew holds the door." By attending the event, a regional Planned Parenthood organization serving the Northwest United States and Hawaii announced in March 2018 it was parting ways with her. Mallory had been scheduled as the keynote speaker for the group's April luncheon. Mallory previously referred to the Nation of Islam leader as "honorable" and said she was "super ready for [his] message!" before an event in 2016, according to CNN.
Like Mallory, Sarsour has a history of being anti-Israel, including at a speech in 2015 at a Nation of Islam event. She has also discounted anti-Semitism, saying that "while anti-Semitism is something that impacts Jewish Americans, it’s different than anti-black racism or Islamophobia because it’s not systemic."
Ellison has repeatedly claimed his relationship with Farrakhan ended in 2006, but the Washington Post gave him Four Pinocchios for the claim.
In Corporate America and Academia, Silence Speaks Volumes
American elites are tight-lipped on an upsurge in anti-Semitism
As protests and riots consumed the country last summer in the wake of George Floyd's death, the nation's top corporate leaders weighed in almost in unison to condemn Floyd's murder and voice solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ninety percent of Fortune 100 companies issued such statements, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis. Amazon decried "the inequitable and brutal treatment of Black people in our country"; Apple called for recognition of "the fear, hurt, and outrage" in the black community; and Google parent company Alphabet vowed to do "the harder work" of rectifying structural inequities.
The nation's top universities followed suit. Every one, from top-ranked Princeton to 20th-ranked UCLA, recommitted itself to addressing what they all described in one formulation or another as the structural and enduring racism in American society. They were similarly responsive in March to an epidemic of violence targeting Asian Americans—every school responded publicly to the attacks.
But in corporate America and academia alike, the solidarity did not extend to the American Jewish community when it experienced a more recent surge of anti-Semitic attacks and violence in the wake of renewed Middle East violence. The sudden silence of corporate America is a striking contrast to the flood of corporate speech on hot-button political issues over the last year.
Among the Fortune 100, it is easier to count the companies that spoke up than those that stayed silent: Just two, Amerisource Bergen and Pfizer, issued statements about the rash of anti-Semitic violence that extended from New York City to Los Angeles in the wake of last month's conflagration between Israel and Hamas. Google acknowledged an "alarming increase in anti-Semitic attacks" after sheepishly reassigning a top member of its diversity team, Kamau Bobb, whose anti-Semitic writings the Free Beacon exposed.
Just 6 of the top 20 institutions of higher education issued statements about the attacks. Of those that did, some, like Columbia, offered a variation of the "All Lives Matter" trope, condemning "harassment … of people who are Jewish or Palestinian or anyone else." Others, like Yale University, saw faculty members voice support for "the Palestinian struggle as an indigenous liberation movement confronting a settler colonial state" while making no mention of anti-Semitism.
The anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism of the intersectional left have been largely ignored by a cultural and business elite eager to embrace the social justice movement—or inoculate itself from the movement's attacks.
But for Jews, the institutionalizing of this new anti-Semitism at schools and businesses across the country—complete with a bureaucracy of diversity officers like Google's house anti-Semite to enforce it—is a threat that cannot be ignored.
