NAACP: Oregon university president who made anti-Semitic remarks suffered racism
Israel National News ^ | 1/5/21 | Ben Sales

In the latest developments in an ongoing controversy at Linfield University over the firing of a tenured Jewish professor who accused the school of anti-Semitism, a report from the local branch of the NAACP found that the Oregon school’s president was subjected to racism at the school.

In addition, the school’s president, Miles K. Davis, told the Chronicle of Higher Education that he had in fact made a comment about the size of Jewish noses to Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, the professor who was fired this week. Davis had previously denied making the comment, and an investigation into him had concluded based on his denial that the comment could not be substantiated. He told the Chronicle that his comment had been informed by his time in the Middle East.

Davis invited the NAACP to investigate whether he was subject to racist treatment after he was accused both of anti-Semitism as well as sexual assault. Last week, the faculty of Linfield’s College of Arts and Sciences overwhelmingly called for his resignation. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Oregon Board of Rabbis also asked him to resign.

The NAACP report, published Friday and sent to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, says Davis was treated unfairly due to racism at the school. Davis is Linfield’s first Black president, and the report said that since 1970, no Black people have been elected as faculty trustee or faculty executive chair.

At Linfield, the report says, “deeply-held resistance to Black leadership and culture fueled the ferocity of resistance to organization change.” The report also said that Davis had not had time to “build a rapport with the faculty and staff” at Linfield because he needed to make changes quickly.

uh-huh... The NAACP, agreeing with the Nation of Islam, says that jews are privileged and their racism is more evil than black racism.

In the NAACP world no matter how foul your behavior is any attempt to hold you accountable is racism if you are black.

“But Pollack-Pelzner told JTA that “there’s a real issue of institutional racism at Linfield” and said that allegations against white members of the board had never been investigated, while allegations against Black members had been.”

Liberal catfight. Feed the identity politics beast and be prepared to be eaten by the identity politics beast.

To the Woke, racism trumps antisemitism by a factor of 1000.

If you really cut to the chase you’ll find that Blacks are the most racist and insensitive people in this country. They think because of past discrimination committed against them it gives them a pass to be bigots against other groups.

That’s assuming that they are monolithic, as white liberals do, too.

So the excuse for racism is that you were a victim of racism?

That was the Pulse bisexual jihadist’s excuse with authorities paid him a visit prior to his terrorist attack. Someone had made Islamophobic comments leading him make a terrorist threat.

But when he finally DID kill people he told the 911 operator that it was because of Barack Obama’s drone strikes on muslim nations.

Davis is Linfield’s first Black president,

And at these prices, they won't be getting many more!

I had never heard of Linfield University before this controversy, but it dates to 1858 (a year before Oregon became a state). Expensive private college.

I've seen a Japanese painting of a Japanese nobleman conversing with a Jesuit missionary. The Jesuit is shown with a very large nose. I don't suppose the Jesuit was Jewish (although perhaps he had Jewish ancestors who had converted)--the Japanese seemed to have perceived all Westerners as having big noses.

Asians tend to have small noses. So westerners have big noses and round eyes and pale skin. Chinese call all foreigners besides the Japanese “ghosts”.
