According to a former classmate of Keith Ellison, the Democratic Minnesota Congressman and DNC Chair Candidate used offensive rhetoric about Jews while a student at the University of Minnesota.
That anecdote is buried in an otherwise complimentary profile of the congressman from Mother Jones. Ellison recently came under renewed scrutiny for his past defense of anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in the student paper, and for inviting Stokely Carmichael to give a speech on campus in which he accused “Zionists” of collaborating with the Nazis.
One of the campus critics of Ellison (who then went by ‘Keith Hakim’) was an editor of the Minnesota Daily, Michael Olenick. Olenick told Mother Jones that in their conversations Ellison argued that blacks and other oppressed groups “could not be racist toward Jews” because “Jews were themselves oppressors.”
“‘European white Jews are trying to oppress minorities all over the world,'” Olenick said Ellison would tell him. “Keith would go on all the time about ‘Jewish slave traders.'”
Another Jewish student told Mother Jones that Ellison didn’t understand the controversy over Zionism. “What are you afraid of?” Ellison told him. “Do you think black nationalists are gonna get power and hurt Jews?”

DNC Chair Candidate Keith Ellison Once Called For Separate Country for Black Americans
Only reason Keith Ellison being considered for DNC Chairman is Osama Bin Ladin is already dead...
Well that’s it then; hes toast.
I expect Elizabeth Warren to read letters from MLK’s wife in protest of him.
but i bet he loves George Soros
He and McCain run ‘Senators for Slavery’.
Was funded by Obola, Soros and the
Clinton Foundation -—
they and ISIS must be saddened that, now, not so much.
Hussein’s Arab ancestors were the suppliers of subsaharan blacks.
This just raises his credibility with democrats.
Lord, please let ellison be the face of the dnc!!!
Noooooo! We need a Keith as the new face of the DNC!
Yes and let’s call him by his prefered name. Keith Hakim.
Dumbocrats choosing Ellison (or his rival Perez) for DNC leader is (to the rest of us) like Democrats choosing whether they want to be hanged or face a firing squad.
But, I hear Jew-baiting, jihadi-friendly Ellison is saving his best for last.
Just before the selection process, Ellison will unveil his nationwide plan to encourage all Americans to “Bring a Jihadi to Work Day.”
That was just a “youthful indiscretion” We NEED Ellison Minnesotastan el to lead the donkeys over a cliff. Come on Democrats he hates America worships satan and wants a separate nation for blacks - what are you waiting for he is your dream candidate!

If Ellison is made head of DNC the Republicans better call him out on proven anti-semitism and racism. He is a radical and this is no Steve Bannon smear, but this guy deserves to be focused on for the Democrat party’s real soul.

The Islamocrats figure he’s inoculated because he’s also black.
He probably wouldn't even complain if we called him "Hakim Mohammed Ellison" (D-MN)
