Ali Mazrui Revives Jewish Race Science at Columbia U. Conference

Yesterday, American Thinker published Campus Watch correspondent Brendan Goldman’s eyewitness account of a recent lecture delivered at Columbia University by Ali Mazrui, a professor at SUNY Binghamton. It is one of the most disturbing reports I’ve seen in my years at Campus Watch, as it exposes Mazrui’s effort to revive the odious racialism that forms the intellectual foundation of Jewish race science:

“The population of Jews in the US is three percent ... but [their ‘genius’] leads to their controlling so much power that even presidents are scared [of them]. Whether [President Barack] Obama will be able to escape the notion that three percent of the country is so powerful that the top gentile in the land cannot criticize Israel is not clear.”

The above statement was made not by a Hamas or KKK leader, but by Ali al-Amin Mazrui, director of the Institute of Global Cultural Studies at SUNY Binghamton. He was addressing the Ifriqiyya Colloquium Conference, held on the top floor of Columbia University’s International Affairs Building, on Thursday, May 6. Mazrui is a darling of the far left, appearing prominently in venues such as Democracy Now, as well as at Islamist forums like the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
