In a recent opinion piece in hard-left The Forward by Michael Adam Latz titled: "Jews must stop letting the right smear Kristen Clarke as anti-semitic--she's the leader we need," the author would have us believe that Clarke's 1994 letter to the Harvard Crimson is merely an indication that she is "even more sensitive to the concerns of the Jewish community." And the only reason conservatives are trying to label her as antisemitic is only to impede her appointment to the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division.
Hardly.
Let's first consider the letter she wrote in 1994 when she was the president of the Black Studies Association.
"Please use the following theories & observations to assist you in your search for truth regarding the genetic differences between Blacks & whites," she began. [Notice that she capitalizes Blacks but uses lower case for whites. Not a good look to start off with, but let's continue.]
"One: Dr Richard king reveals that at the core of the human brain is the 'locus coeruleus,' which is a structure that is Black, because it contains large amounts of neuro-melanin which is essential for its operation."
"Two: Black infants sit, stand, crawl & walk sooner than whites." [What's her point? Horses and cattle stand at birth and snakes crawl at birth too, but you are seeing where she's going with this.]
"Three: Carol Barnes notes that human mental processes are controlled by melanin--the same chemical which gives Blacks their superior physical & mental abilities."
"Pineal calcification rates with Africans are five to 15 percent, Asian 15 to 25 percent and Europeans 60 to 80 percent. This is the chemical basis for the cultural differences between Blacks and whites."
"Five: Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities--something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards."
Ironically, the year prior to Clarke's racist letter to the Harvard Crimson, the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology 36:33-58 (1993) scientifically disputed her melanin gobble-dee-gook in an article titled: "Melanin, Afrocentricity, and Pseudoscience," by Bernard R. Ortiz, Anthropology Department, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan.
Ortiz's abstract:
"ABSTRACT A component of the Afrocentric movement has incorporated a theory that black people, including ancient Egyptians, have superior mental, physical, and paranormal powers because they have more melanin both in their skin and in their brains. By extension it is also claimed that black people have more melatonin and P-MSH in their systems and that these compounds also contribute to the superiority of people of color over whites. In this paper, these claims are detailed and refuted. A review of the genetics and biochemistry of human pigmentation shows that all humans have similar amounts of neuromelanin (brain melanin), and that its concentration is absolutely independent of skin color; that adult humans do not synthesize P-MSH; and that human melatonin has no clearly demonstrable physiological function and no relationship to skin color. “Melanists” also distort human evolution by claiming that European whites are descendants of negroid albinos. The main problems posed by this ideological movement are that it will increase the already rampant scientific illiteracy in this country, it will contribute to further widening the gap between the races, and, most importantly, it is being introduced into the public school curriculum under the guise of multicultural education."So there's that.
But what about her antisemitic leanings?
Tucker Carlson explains that point in detail here in which he speaks about Clarke's fawning over Trinidadian anti-Semite Tony Martin who she invited to speak at Harvard.
