In honor of holocaust Remembrance Day on Tuesday, the Biden administration made a poor choice in choosing a representative to speak on its behalf. Not only does Justice Department civil rights chief Kristen Clarke have history with anti-Semitic scholars, but she also took the opportunity to discuss Black Lives Matter issues rather than solely focus on the 6 million Jews that perished.
In her speech, Clarke spoke of “the enormity of the loss of six million Jews” in the Holocaust, but turned it into the lessons it provides for ongoing atrocities in “Ukraine, Ethiopia, the Congo, and elsewhere around the world.”
She did mention the obvious rise in anti-Semitism in the United States, but then pivoted to hate crimes against other racial and ethnic groups.
“Attacks against black people—the most targeted group—and against other marginalized communities continue to increase,” she said.
The Washington Free Beacon reported “Clarke may not be the ideal choice to represent the Justice Department on the topic of the Holocaust. In college, Clarke rubbed shoulders with black liberation activists known for anti-Semitic views. As the president of Harvard’s Black Students Association in 1994, Clarke hosted a speech for Wellesley professor Tony Martin, who promoted false theories that a cabal of Jews orchestrated the global slave trade.”
Clarke defended Martin after outcry over the event as an “an intelligent, well-versed Black intellectual who bases his information of [sic] indisputable fact.”
Martin in 2002 gave a talk, “Tactics of Organized Jewry in Suppressing Free Speech,” at a conference hosted by a Holocaust denial group, the Institute for Historical Review.
The Beacon adds:
Clarke also served on the editorial board of an academic journal with Amiri Baraka, a black liberationist poet who once blamed Jews for 9/11. Clarke concealed her affiliation with Baraka during her Senate confirmation hearing in 2021 when she told Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) that she had never served on “the editorial staff of a journal with Amiri Baraka.”
Several left-wing Jewish groups during her confirmation hearing defendedClarke against charges of anti-Semitism. She was narrowly confirmed to the civil rights post in a party-line vote.
America has way too many maggots like this ho. A tiny brain with a huge mouth.
Jews are the most targeted group...and by Blacks. Asians are the second most targeted...also by blacks. Black men are 174 times more likely to murder a white man than the reverse.
Blacks are being targeted by other blacks.
But the Jews werent killing each other …. Were they? I mean who targets the “blacks”? _th_r _lac_s. Id like to solve the puzzle Pat.
This is the point. People of differing opinions and values can coexist in the same space, but there is no common ground between separate realities.
Ether slacks?
Democrats have promoted the takeover of women’s rights by men so it makes perfect sense they would move to have Holocaust remembrance taken over by blacks. It’s like a massive grievance Olympics and the winners have been pre-chosen.
False is right. It was more a cabal of muzzies following strict orders from the book of mad mo'.
And the African slaves were captured by their own race............
Perhaps we should call it grievance appropriation.
Why am I not surprised?!
Why does America have holocaust remembrance day? We didn’t do it. Americans didn’t die on it. Is there a Rwanda, or a Cambodia genocide remembrance day?
Another perpetual victim blaming and whining.
Blacks kill twice as many whites as whites kill blacks. Blacks are 12% of our population and Whites are 57% giving a ratio of 4.75.
4.75 ratio x 2 black on white murder = 9.5 percentage adjusted ratio of black on white murder.
Statistics from the FBI. I guess the FBI must be racist.
I love that! A grievance totem pole, with contending factions battling it out for position. Perhaps the positions could be determined like </i>Hunger Games</i>, there being Grievance Games.
