Rabbi Abraham Cooper is a COWARD who LIED to our brother Nick Canon about the history of the caucasian race. Ask him does he stand behind the VILE TEACHINGS of the Talmud? Don’t be a coward next time Cooper you DEVIL.
He went on to call Black people the “TRUE Children of Israel,” use the hashtag #SynagogueOfSatan (a phrase that Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has used to describe Judaism) and link to an article by the Nation of Islam Research Group which calls The Simon Wiesenthal Center, where Cooper is associate dean, an “apologist for the Zionist State of Israel.”
Electronica also challenged Cooper to sit down and talk with Farrakhan and other Nation of Islam leaders.
“We DEFY you to challenge us on these claims publicly. You LYING antisemites,” he tweeted.
After mentioning anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on his show “Cannon’s Class” — including the idea that “Zionists” and “Rothschilds” have “too much power” — Cannon spoke with Cooper in a nearly two-hour recorded chat that was published last Tuesday. Cannon also made a donation to the Wiesenthal Center and visited its Museum of Tolerance.
Electronica, 43, is a respected rapper and producer who released his debut album earlier this year after years of releasing mixtapes to critical acclaim. He mentioned the “Synagogue of Satan” and the Rothschilds in a track on the album.
His tweets came a day after the British rapper Wiley sparked controversy with his own Twitter rant, which included the line “I don’t care about Hitler, I care about black people.”
A series of other prominent figures, including football player DeSean Jackson, former basketball player Stephen Jackson and rapper Ice Cube, have also been criticized for perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes online in recent months. All but Ice Cube have apologized.
what did we ever do to him?
he is angry that he comes from slaves. so what, my parents were slaves, too.
the differences are that we come from Shem and he comes from Chom.
bottom line is that he who curses Am Yisroel will be cursed. on the other hand, He who blesses the Jewish people, will also be blessed.
let him learn to his advantage that he has been taught a lot of hatred and that it is eating him up alive. let him learn the truth about the Jews and the truth about the nation of islam.
Their ingratitude to the Jewish People is astonishing!
Sometimes in life you want to make things right. Along comes a George Floyed and the African Americans rightfully demand justice and accountability, yet sadly with each passing day they show everyone why we had a George Floyed in the first place. Sometime a person or in this case a group of people can be their own worst enemy.
The civil rights Jews never really cared about the blacks, it is and always was about “what is good for the Jews (and Israel)”. The Blacks have always had a keen ingroup mentality and never cared about the Holocaust, Israel being the only democracy in the middle east, a war grave tombstone in Kalamazoo that no even knew existed has a swastika, so we need to get the federal government involved etc. Now they feel they don’t need the Jews anymore and this self-serving phony “alliance” has outlived it’s usefulness. It’s going to be an ugly divorce..
And BTW I will repeat again what I’ve said before. Cham was never cursed to be slaves. Only Canaan, who was one of many sons of Cham, was cursed. Present-day people of African descent with overwhelming probability do not descend from Canaan, so there you have it.
Many groups, including the one which this so-called Rapper represents, are jealous of the economic success of other ethnic groups, including our own. Thus, anytime that they can electronically malign other groups, including Yehudim, and especially Yehudim, they will do so, as they know that they will have a receptive audience.
There’s a 48 hour boycott of both Facebook and Twitter against their allowance of anti-Semitic posts. Organized in England to start from 9AM. It should be publicized here as well. Enough is enough.
too much anti-semitism is creeping into the mainstream. scary !
