He should take back these remarks. They were themselves shameful, regardless of what Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton have said and done.
Among Robinson’s offenses was an attack in 2018 on the creators of the Black Panther character, after a movie about the Marvel Comics superhero came out.
“It is absolutely AMAZING to me that people who know so little about their true history and REFUSE to acknowledge the pure sorry state of their current condition can get so excited about a fictional ‘hero’ created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by satanic marxist,” said Robinson, who is African American, in a Facebook post.
“How can this trash, that was only created to pull the shekels out of your Schvartze pockets, invoke any pride?” he added, invoking a Yiddish pejorative for African Americans. “Shekels,” the name of the Israeli currency, is often used in anti-Semitic literature.
Black Panther was created in the 1960s by two Jewish comic book creators, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The 2018 film was directed by Ryan Coogler, a Black filmmaker who is involved in social justice causes.
In October, the Raleigh News & Observer found a conversation that Robinson had in 2019 with a fringe religious leader named Sean Moon. In the interview, Moon invokes anti-Semitic tropes about the Rothschild family, and Robinson says “That’s exactly right.”
I rate your response utter BS. He said nothing that indicted all Jews, just certain people who happen to be Jewish.
As for shekles, that was an ancient form of currency, and in no way is it used as a dis upon Jews at all:
Shekel or sheqel is an ancient Near Eastern coin, usually of silver. A shekel was first a unit of weight-very roughly 11 grams-and became currency in ancient Tyre and ancient Carthage and then in ancient Israel under the Maccabees.
He has nothing to apologize for at all, for his words were not "shameful" as you so ignorantly claim them to be, nor can they even begin to compare to what Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton have said and done.
those Jewish individual and groups complaining about the Robinson remarks are life-long democrats.
