I have bigger fish to fry.

he still works for the NOI. He constantly rts NOI and even Holocaust deniers. He’s also the guy who took the Obama Farrakhan photo in 2005 and hid it at the request of the CBC

this is why you refused to read the story in the OP so you can refuse to see his antisemitism . It’s all there but you don’t want to see it

They honored him two weeks ago which is over and done with now and nothing you can do about that.
I was thinking based on your comment that you had an issue with his retweet of an antisemitic post - I mean that's what you provided a link to.
So if it's the retweet that bothers you - report it.
As for the honor it's already been bestowed.


If it's any consolation a CNN photo editor, who began working there in January 2019, resigned on Thursday night after some of his antisemitic tweets from 2011 come to light.

Looks like either they didn't know or didn't care about his work for the NOI because they didn't mention it seeing how it never spilled over into his influence on DC music culture which is what they were honoring him for.

you can google his name and easily find it. He’s also he photographer who took the Obama Farrakhan photo who suppressed it at tye requesr of the CBC. I’ve listened to WPFW before and I’ve heard them have virulent antisemites on like Christopher Bollyn

Pointing out they honored an antisemite . The claim to oppose bigotry yet honor a bigot

I feel you hypocrisy is does make my skin crawl but truth be told I'm more perturbed by the bigots IN government than the bigots the government bestows honors to.
Nonetheless, my condolences.

Agree. The leftists honored an anti-Semite. Can you imagine if a conservative council honored a racist? The libs in this forum would be pitching a fit.
