Joe Biden's Chicago plan for crime set to be another big loser
In Chicago, the murder rate is skyrocketing -- and splintering off into some sickening new directions.
Such as the crime in this instance from yesterday:
Last June 30, Chicago police pursued a car allegedly used in a shooting earlier in the day. After the vehicle crashed, all of its occupants bailed out and ran. Cops arrested one of them, Angel Ayala, and allegedly found a loaded AR-15 rifle behind the seat he had been riding in.
But prosecutors declined to file a felony gun charge in the case. Instead, Ayala was charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct, and he went home from the police station on a recognizance bond, CPD records show.
Ayala, 22, went AWOL and never showed up for a single court date, prosecutors said Saturday as they charged him with shooting a tourist and murdering a passerby during last weekend’s Puerto Rican Day festivities.
And this instance from three days ago:
Jackson yelled that Earl "needed to learn how to drive and needed to be taught a lesson," then fired two shots from his car window and hit Earl in the chest in the 1600 block of South Kostner, prosecutors said.
Earl, of West Garfield Park, died at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Earl’s passenger gave police a description of the shooter and his truck, leading Chicago police officers to pull Jackson over later that day, prosecutors said.
Jackson was arrested after officers found a 9mm handgun in his truck and the shell casings matched those recovered at the scene of the shooting, prosecutors said.
Police said Jackson’s two children, ages 2 and 3, were inside his car at the time of the shooting.
Jackson has previous convictions for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance, prosecutors said.
And this instance from less than a day ago:
Gold Coast business owners and residents, watch out. There's a group of men who have been targeting shops and stealing merchandise.
There were similar burglaries in the afternoons on June 8 on East Delaware Place and June 13 on North Michigan Avenue near Superior.
In both cases, up to four men entered the store, grabbed purses and ran out. They hopped into a waiting car and took off.
And this instance, from March:
At least two Gold Coast high-rises in the same block along Lake Shore Drive have been damaged by gunfire in shooting incidents in mid-February and early Thursday, according to authorities.Police were asking anyone who might have surveillance footage or other information about the gunfire to give detectives a call or provide an anonymous tip, according to a police alert.
These are far from the gang-on-gang violence reports in bad areas where lowlife and drug-dealing have the run of the streets. This is the kind of crime that's spilling into law-abiding areas with non-criminal victims with each instance having the knock-on effect of spreading terror.
What's Joe Biden's solution? Not to stop criminals, who clearly have zero fear of the law in the current climate.
He's planning to spend COVID cash to target guns and gun dealers:
The federal government will deploy a group of so-called “strike forces” to major cities, aiming to increase enforcement on those gun dealers, and to try to cut down on illegal gun trafficking.
“Folks, this shouldn’t be a red or a blue issue. It’s an American issue,” Biden said.
More funding for law enforcement was included in the proposal, along with enhanced technological cooperation between local police and the FBI. Biden also promised that community-based anti-violence programs would be part of the plan, and cited Chicago programs as examples of what he intends to promote.
“A study found that a program offering high school students in Chicago a good summer job, and an adult mentor and behavioral therapy, led to a 45% drop in violence,” the president said.
Chicago officials will work with the White House to track the progress of the program, according to the White House.
And rather expectedly, he's using 21-year-old data as the basis of his claim that 90% of illegal guns recovered in crime comes from 5% of gun dealers. Even the now-left-wing Voice of America has noticed the outdatedness of that Biden data:
The figures come from a widely cited study by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that showed a relatively small number of firearms dealers accounted for a large proportion of crime guns traced by the ATF to their original licensed sellers.
ATF uses tracing to link a suspect to a weapon used in a crime and to identify gun traffickers. The bureau traces about half a million crime guns a year.
At the time of the study, there were more than 80,000 federally licensed firearms dealers and pawnbrokers in the country, according to ATF data. The study looked at about 56,000 guns traced to dealers in 1998, finding that 7.2% of all dealers with two or more guns traced to them were responsible for selling 89.5% of guns recovered at crime scenes.
Here's a far more significant and recent study:
A 2016 Bureau of Justice Statistics survey of prisoners who possessed or carried a firearm during their offense found that just 7% had purchased it under their own name from a licensed dealer. Among the rest, 6% had stolen it, 7% had found it at the crime scene, 43% had acquired it off the street or from the underground market, and 25% had obtained it from a family member or a friend or as a gift.
The gun-dealer crackdown is crap. Here are the more likely reasons crime is spilling over out of control in Chicago: Leftist prosecutors who don't prosecute. The Soros-financed Kim Foxx, running the Chicago prosecutorial shop is Exhibit A. Here's a Chicago Tribune report about her record when she's not hunting down phony race-hate crimes from mendacious fools like Jussie Smollett:
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is dropping felony cases involving charges of murder and other serious offenses at a higher rate than her predecessor, according to a Tribune analysis that comes amid a growing debate over criminal justice reform.During Foxx’s first three years as the county’s top prosecutor, her office dropped all charges against 29.9% of felony defendants, a dramatic increase over her predecessor, the Tribune found. For the last three years of Anita Alvarez’s tenure, the rate was 19.4%.
In all, a total of 25,183 people had their felony cases dismissed under Foxx through November 2019, up from 18,694 for a similar period under Alvarez.
Note that the first creep in the four crime examples cited above got let out by cops who declined to jail him, sending him off to go shoot a tourist and kill a bystander even though the cops had plenty to charge and jail him with back in the car crash incident. They let him out, and off he went to kill an innocent woman walking down the street. Note that the second creep had a long criminal record, and did his crime right in front of the small children in his own car, a sign of some amazingly practiced callousness. The third group of creeps cited clearly have no fear of police and have had time to hone their organized crime "skills" with little to worry about from police surveillance. Problem two is police who won't police. Officers are now retiring at their desks, waiting for their pensions rather than stick their necks out. They declined to jail the freak in that first instance because why bother when the prosecutor is just going to let them out?
This comes as a result of the demonization of police forces, derived from the instance in distance Minneapolis surrounding George Floyd, which the Chicago cops had nothing to do with. The mayor’s proposed budget includes an $80 million reduction in tax dollars going to CPD, but only about $34 million will come from cuts in vacant positions, according to figures provided by the Mayor’s office to City Bureau and Injustice Watch. The rest will either be offset by grant funding or will be reallocated to the city’s Office of Public Safety Administration to fund clerical jobs once held by cops.
So they're forking over police enforcement money to do-nothing social welfare bureaucrats and refusing to hire new recruits. That's very bad news because Chicago has one of the nation's biggest police retirement rates. Cops are taking their pensions and fleeing in droves, some to other departments in the city, some to police departments in other places, and some to the fishing hole. According to the Chicago Sun-Times in a report dated June 18:
More Chicago police officers have retired this year than in all of 2018.That’s according to the latest figures from the police pension board, which show that, from January through June, 363 officers have left the Chicago Police Department, and another 56 are expected to retire in July.
“We are on track, I believe, to have one of the highest retirement numbers in the city’s history,” says Ald. Ray Lopez (15th), a frequent critic of Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
The department — which has roughly 13,000 sworn officers — had 560 retirements in all of 2020, 475 in 2019 and 339 in 2018.
And for cops it's bad out there, they have their reasons for making their exits:
John Catanzara, president of the Chicago police union, says there’s also been an exodus of young cops who haven’t been with the department long enough to qualify for retirement benefits. Some have fewer than 10 years on the job but want to move to other police departments because they’re “absolutely miserable,” according to Catanzara.He says those young officers take leaves of absence until they can get hired elsewhere because they’re sick of working 12-hour shifts, having days off canceled and being under what he describes as a constant threat of punitive action.
“You are literally treated like a rented mule and ridden until you can’t go any more,” the union president says. “Today’s hero, tomorrow’s zero.”
And it doesn't help that Chicago's insane-ish mayor, Lori Lightfoot, a leftist woman clearly in over her head, is constantly fighting with the police and the police unions in Chicago. Last May:
The [Chicago Frateral Order of Police police officer's union] FOP recently issued a vote of no confidence in Lightfoot and police Superintendent David Brown.
Lightfoot, who previously called Catanzara a “clown” and a “total fraud,” told reporters she’ll wear the vote like a badge of honor.
She's lovely. Actually, she fights with everyone who asks an uncomfortable question. Here's her snappish fight with a NewsMax reporter just yesterday. Not surprisingly, Chicagoans are moving out, voting with their feet to get the heck out of Chicago, which has become a crime-infested hellhole:
CHICAGO, Ill. (WBBM) - Nearly twice as many people moved out of Illinois last year as those who moved in, according to the latest migration study from moving company United Van Lines, ranking the Land of Lincoln as No. 3 among “Most Moved From States” in 2020.Approximately 66 percent of United Van Lines’ moves in Illinois last year were outbound, with only 34 percent inbound, according to their annual study.
New Jersey topped the list, with 70 percent of moves outbound, followed by New York, with 67 percent outbound.
Illinois’ ranking actually improved slightly from 2019, when the state came in at No. 2 among “Most Moved From States.” Illinois has topped that list as recently as 2017.
Chicago, Joliet, and Lake County also ranked among the top 25 metropolitan areas nationwide for outbound migration. Chicago came in at No. 6, with 69 percent of moves outbound; Lake County was No. 10 with 68 percent of moves outbound; and Joliet was No. 12, with 67 percent of moves outbound.
Who'd want to live in a place where crime is not reliably enforced? It's actually a sea change, given that in the past, one could always expect that if you called the cops, they'd come and catch the crook. These days, these things are not happening, even when the crimes are brazenly done, are egregiously horrible, and are easy to match with laws on the books. Today, none of those things can be relied on to work for people who become victims of violent crime. Which brings us back to Joe, who says the problem is guns. His 21-year-old plan is to target gun dealers instead of left-wing DAs who refuse to prosecute, and police who feel so embattled they decline to catch crooks out of simple self-preservation is where the real problems are. Joe just sees guns. Like everything else he does, he's going for a Leonid Brezhnev-style solution, which is to pull down the shades and tell people to bump up and down on the seats to make it seem like the stopped train is moving, rather than coming up with real solutions. This will fail like everything else he does fails. He's so out of touch he can't even recognize that some things work and some things don't work, and root causes do mean something. Not to him. He just wants to look good for the cameras by pretending to be doing something as the media constantly flatters him.
White Men are Terrible, Insists Author Abandoned by Her Black Father
The twisted psychology of Critical Race Theory racism.
23 comments
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Ijeoma Oluo spends a lot of time complaining about her single white mother who took care of her when her black father returned to Nigeria and never came back.
Like Obama and Kamala, Ijeoma built a marketable identity by identifying with a father who abandoned her. But the author of such racist texts as So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America takes it even further by identifying as Nigerian-American. The Nigerian part is very hypothetical as she was born and raised in America, and her Nigerian father left when she was a year old and broke his promise to return.
White people are absolutely terrible, Ijeoma, who is half-white, insists.
"I have never been able to escape the fact that I am a black woman in a white supremacist country," Oluo declaimed at the beginning of So You Want to Talk About Race. The ugly racialist book never broke through the way that Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X. Kendi did, but it was a modest success and is regularly featured at corporate critical race indoctrination sessions.
Like other pop critical race theory texts, Oluo began the book by berating the leftist white women who were its target audience. It’s a topic she had practiced with her mother.
The woman who raised her and her brother, when they were abandoned by their black father, is a favorite topic for both siblings. But where Ahamefule Oluo, a jazz player and comedian, has done shows honoring his mother while emphasizing the subjective nature of race as he found that people in Nigeria saw him as white, Ijeoma Oluo has taken the opposite approach.
Ijeoma’s mother is a popular topic and punching bag. In essays and books, she decries her mother’s ‘whiteness’. “Our mom never thought that our blackness would hold us back in life—she thought we could rule the world. But that optimism and starry-eyed love was, in fact, born from her whiteness,” she complains in So You Want to Talk About Race.
When her mother asks, “How come you never identify as white, too? I mean, you’re half white”, she retorts that "I did not feel that whiteness was something that any person with brown skin and kinky hair could inherit". Lots of white people have kinky hair. Certainly plenty of half-white people, like Ijeoma, do. And Ijeoma is obsessed with white supremacy’s threat to her hair.
Touching her hair, she rants, "is a continuation of the lack of respect for the basic humanity and bodily autonomy of black Americans that is endemic throughout White Supremacy."
Your average white supremacist probably doesn’t want to touch non-white people’s hair.
But for all the attention that Ijeoma lavishes on complaining about her mother’s insufficiently woke views on race, she never mentions her father in So You Want to Talk About Race. At one point she rants, “If our mothers were raped by white men and we were born with lighter skin, we could almost be seen as attractive.” But her mother was white and married an African student.
Ijeoma’s father was 53, but apparently told her mother he was 30 years old. After abandoning the mother of his children with a toddler and a one-month old baby, the African chief and doctoral student went back to his own country and promptly impregnated a woman there.
Her brother describes him as a “selfish and contemptible man”. Ijeoma instead wrote her second book, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America. Her first book is full of shots at her present mother while her second book attacks an imaginary white father.
Mediocre was released by a Hachette imprint, alongside such critical race theory rants as Vicky Osterweil's In Defense of Looting (The French publishing giant also suppressed Julie Burchill's Welcome to the Woke Trials and fired Kate Hartson who had published pro-Trump books.)
An imprint named after a 19th century upstart French leftist publisher, Louis Hachette, a white man, released a mediocre book claiming that there was a crisis of white male mediocrity.
The incredible mediocrity of Moses, Hippocrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein might give some people pause, but Ijeoma explains that, “when I talk about mediocrity, I talk about success that is measured only by how much better white men are faring than people who aren’t white men”.
Success becomes mediocrity, and mediocrity becomes success.
Sadly for Ijeoma, Mediocre was mediocre and failed to match the success of So You Want to Talk About Race. Ijeoma had gambled that there was an audience of white leftist women who wanted to hear that white men were awful without enduring attacks on themselves.
Ijeoma had underestimated the masochistic tendencies of the average white leftist woman.
Mediocre’s author imagines that she’s an “exceptional talent”, writing that, “most women and people of color have to claw their way to any chance at success or power, have to work twice as hard as white men and prove themselves to be exceptional talents before we begin to entertain discussions of truly equal representation in our workplaces or government.”
What exceptional talents has Ijeoma shown beyond bashing white people on the internet?
Mediocre is a random mess of intersectional cliches and historical sketches from periods that she clearly doesn’t understand as tries to roll them into her argument. “Stalin ended up being another white man who would distort entire movements to serve his purposes,” she insists.
That’s almost coherent compared to chapters where Ijeoma leaps from attacks on cowboys to complaining about Bernie Sanders supporters on Facebook. None of this has much to do with the book’s supposed theme of white male mediocrity. The only common thread is that white men are terrible because they’re white and they’re men.
White male conservatives are evil, but so are white male leftists who only join causes to maintain their power. White men are locked “into cycles of fear and violence” and the “white male glorification of violence has saturated our action films”. It’s a curious claim for a woman whose African father wrote his thesis on the Biafra-Nigerian Civil War and whose country, which she identifies with, has been in the middle of one kind of civil war or another for generations.
Women have to “divorce ourselves from the lure of proximity to white male power” even “when those white men are our friends, our husbands, our fathers, or our sons,” Ijeoma Oluo argues.
And yet Ijeoma followed her father, the “Honorable Chief Dr. Sam Oluo”, into political science. While her brother courted her father’s disapproval by playing music, she tried to imitate her absent father. And has spent her life making excuses for him and his culture.
When as a teenager she contacted Nigerians on the internet and they began to scam her, she processed it as the "legacy of colonialism" so that "every white person scammed out of their life savings felt, in a way, like a bit of retribution for the ravages of colonization and slavery."
Except that the Nigerian scam artists were just as happy to scam her as they were anyone else.
“My Nigerian father was Catholic for the same reason why he spoke with a British accent,” Ijeoma snapped on Twitter. “Because his oppressors forced him to.”
Why did he abandon her? Probably because of those white oppressors. Like her mother.
There’s a story there about racial identity and hatred, gratitude and ingratitude, and the primal way that children can identify with a father who isn’t there while hating the mother who is.
But it’s not a story that Hachette would publish or Ijeoma Olou would be likely to write.
Last year, Ijeoma posted a tribute to the white grandfather who had not abandoned her when her black father had. "My father returned to Nigeria when I was two and was more of a story than an actual person in my life. But my grandfather, my Bob Bob, loved me so completely that I never felt lacking.”
The photo that came with it showed an older white man holding a young black girl in her arms.
Later that year, she published Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America.
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.
https://twitter.com/Bernstein/status/1052636257531154434
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.
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.
