The Race-Baiting Antisemite Amiri Baraka’s Death, and How the Obits Treat Him
His early work, learned critics tell us, had merit. But radicalized first by Fidel Castro and later by Malcolm X, the poet first known as Leroi Jones changed his name to Amiri Baraka, left his white Jewish wife and children, and started his rapid descent into madness. The Times goes on to tell us that once he became a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, he renounced anti-Semitism. This judgment, of course, is a charade, as the 9/11 poem makes quite clear.
Thanks to the writer John-Paul Pagano, who concentrates on the issues of totalitarianism and antisemitic reactions to Israel and modernity, we have a complete recent list of his various tweets and comments about Jews. Here are some of the choice ones from Mr. Pagano’s compilation:
Smile, jew. Dance, jew. Tell me you love me, jew…I got the extermination blues, jewboys. I got the hitler syndrome figured”
… a nigger wants to put down the Zionist and the Zionists control the radio, the television, the movies, the education…
“[the Jewish radicals] get niggers to fight harder for them than they fight for niggers… to die to see Jews get … power”
“Selling fried potatoes and people, the little arty bastards talking arithmetic they sucked from the arab’s head…” -
“The Fag’s Death / [the Jews] give us on a cross. To Worship… a dead jew… mad chains of dead jews…”
“…not even the courage to kill myself… Just be herded off like a common jew, and roasted in my teary denunciations.”
So where did the great poet and writer go for treatment, hoping to fend off death and get the best doctors? Thankfully, as the Times’ obituary informs us, “his death, at Beth Israel Medical Center, was confirmed by his son Ras Baraka, a member of the Newark Municipal Council.”
I hope Mr. Baraka does not rest in peace.






"Hater" = says something mildly critical about Islam and/or homosexuals.
His views on homosexuality do not appear to be the "live and let live" variety, but strike me as venomous, much like his position toward his other great hatreds: Jews and whites. I guess the lowest of the low would be a Jewish homosexual.
And aside from the delicious irony of dying in a Jewish hospital, here's the clincher: with a lunatic like leroi saying the things he did on a regular basis not just about whites and Jews, permitted targets in any liberal world-view, but against gays, why didn't anybody in the elite halls of PC liberalism say much of anything about it except that he could be "controversial?" Does anyone think an cultural icon of conservatism get away with any of the rot that leroi talked on a regular basis and hold chairs and honors at universities at the same time?
Because, as was the case of J. Wright, blacks who espouse racism, Jew-hatred, gay-baiting, and xenophobia, are given a complete pass by the cognoscenti--even though the liberal elite know full-well what is being said by these radical haters, they simply look the other way for political purposes, not an intellectual conscience in the bunch.
Leroi jones was no friend of the homosexual, make sure we add them to the long irrational list of groups of people he would have murdered, exiled or imprisoned if someone like him ever came near the levers of power he so deeply desired.
I'm glad he's dead and his poem is poo.
That day we were outnumbered, College Republicans and Tagar banding together in a merry band of pranksters monkeywrenching with glee and no doubt annoying Amiri Baraka. For his personal threat to me, I forgive him and hope that God does not trouble him on my account. For the rest, it's not for me to say other than I do my best as a christian to wish all the dead rest in peace.
When he got death threats in the guise of "Lily [his deceased wife] is waiting for you", his only reaction was a smile and "she is a wonderful woman and I'd love to be reunited with her, but it looks like we'll all have to wait a bit". Whatever drove this daring, ruthless warrior for his country, it wasn't hatred.
My comment is my he rot in H... maybe take along his friends from SDS. Yes Tom Haydon and his buddies stirred much trouble in Newark
They blamed the problems on as they called it "White Flight" because whites moved to the suburbs
