Yikes. Am I wrong in noticing that there seems to be a lot of antisemitism in the black community? Because that's the impression I have.
Also, I don't understand why people in public roles like this guy feel the need to publicly comment on things like this. Why not just stick to teaching and doing music and keep these opinions private?
I think antisemitism in the black community has to do with the perception that Jews, as a minority, have excelled, and they have not. They lament that Jews can often get away with looking white, but they cannot. Also, many of their leaders ( Farrakhan, Jackson, Sharpton) look to scapegoat their problems on the Jews. They like the DEI agenda and prefer victimhood to merit. Blacks have been used to enhance the careers of the socialist who need a vulnerable social class to exploit in a class and culture war: black v. white, rich v. poor, religion (which can mean family in-tact, social values, faith in the system) against people who do not succeed (arrest records, no fathers, blame the system for personal failure).
I am not in favour of cancelling people for their views but this is shocking. This level of prejudice strongly suggests he would be unable to treat Jewish students with respect or fairness. No other group would be expected to tolerate this. Why on earth was he appointed without a check of his views? Or worse, was it checked and deemed acceptable?
If a teacher made such statements about Muslims, s/he would be gone in a NY minute! Same for any other group. Hate is hate and it’s NOT okay. Get rid of the snake before he infects more impressionable minds with his poison.
I’m a jazz lover and have seen Nicholas Payton in person and enjoyed his playing but his cds 💿 will go in the garbage with no regrets. I did the same thing with my Cats Steven’s records 45 years ago. I will never miss either of them.
Oh no! I loved Nicolas Payton. Such a great musician. What the heck. Doesn’t he know that another great trumpet player from NOLA (Louie Armstrong) was loved, raised and basically adopted by a Jewish family?
An antisemitic idiot who teaches music is now an authority on history of slavery? Reminds me of an argument I had with a world music professor about whether cellphones cause cancer. He was too ignorant to know what ionizing and non-ionizing radiation was, but leveraged his being a “professor” as meaning something.
He seems to be the prototype of an antisemite. I’m one of those who prefers to hear the antisemitic rant. This way you have a good picture of what the real situation is.
Usually antisemites channel their own character to what they CLAIM the Jews are. In other words, This bigot seems to fancy trading slaves and owning the music business.
There are bigots everywhere and that will not change. However, it is truly depressing how Berkley handles the case. That’s exactly how the nazis rose to power. Decent people did nothing when they should.
When Jewish civil rights workers in Mississippi were being murdered, cowardly blacks like this bum were hiding under their beds. What a better way to create a man bites dog story than have a black bum denigrate Jewish allies.
I discussed this with the wife over coffee and she says this petition will be lost in the forest. What you mean i ask. Well it needs to be directed to some one with power to do something about it. Like who i asked. Well the same people who put pressure on Columbia and Harvard. But he might lose his job i suggested, and several posts said he was a good musician. Thats got nothing to do with she says. Keep the pressure on. People have to wear the consequences of their actions. Like others have said if it was against Muslims or Black people or Latinos or Asians something would be done.
He is an excellent musician but that doesn’t translate to intelligence. I suspect he knows nothing about Judaism and has never even been to a synagogue. He probably read the Bible once, it’s time he reads it again.

You're not wrong.

Yeah you know those Jews, enslaving Africans to this day. Oh wait…
Of course this asshole finds it funny. I hope they fire the Farrakhan follower. Let him bitch forever that the Jews got him. What a Loser.

It's the rich and the powerful black racists who continue to want to keep my black brothers and sisters as slaves down on the Democratic plantation.

This guy blows a horn for a living and thinks people need to hear his opinions on geopolitics. Pathetic.

Sheesh. This guy went total Brass Kanye.
