Talk:Stokely Carmichael

Mayorship Quote

From the Washington Post article:

But the frustrations are obvious nonetheless. To an unrepentant revolutionary, what may look to others like progress against racism is unimpressive, or even counterproductive. Take the advances by African Americans in electoral politics. "They make them mayors and took away the power of mayorship," he says, dismissing the phenomenon, not having to identify who "they" are. "They made powerless mayorships."

latter phase

Should be something on the phase of his career ca. 1990 when he went around college campuses making random derogatory remarks about Jews, and predicting that Israel would be soon wiped from the map.

You know what to do. Although it would be worth noting that Toure made a distinction between Zionists and Jews. Jswba (talk) 11:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I added Foxman's comments in. If someone can find a source that verifies the above claim that Carmichael distinguished between Zionists and Jews, then that would be a worhty clarification to add. LastDodo (talk) 09:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I'll get the ball started. "a) carefully distinguish Judaism (a religion born in Africa, he claimed) from Zionism (a colonialist movement born in Europe and founded by an atheist)". https://jewishcurrents.org/june-29-stokely-carmichael-and-the-jews Im not afraid (talk) 15:05, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
