he is still running around calling everyone else a racist, apparently I am a white supremacist Nazi, even though I am a well known indigenous rights advocate who has written pro Israel articles. he might actually be mentally ill his tweeting screenshots that do not say what he claims they say. he is just insane.

I am late to this one. But it continues to fascinate me.

A few things about Talib Kweli Greene’s perspective continue boggle me.

First, does he realize that Muslims and others living in Muslim-majority countries are by far the most frequent victims of Islamist violence and oppression?

That opposition to, say, US involvement in the Middle East and opposition to Islamism aren’t mutually exclusive?

That there seems to be a racist double standard at play, when ex-radical white people such as Derek Black and Megan Roper-Phelps are (rightly) applauded for opposing extremism while Nawaz and Aayan Hirsi Ali are not?

Kweli’s antisemitism (By the way, he uses/used the name “Green” at the end of his name, but seems not to, now)…..

Disappointed in Talib Kweli’s infantile responses here. Whilst I am very concerned about racism in America and elsewhere, Maajid Nawaz is not the cause. And whilst hatred of Muslims as people is deplorable, that should not always be conflated with critcism of violent ideologies and fundamentalism.

I think, humanism and assessment of likelihood in given context are better than philosophy and ideology

Young Jamal Greene was also interesting:

I feel a little bit sorry for Talib. Though he’s done very well for himself, he’s clearly the dim bulb in a family of achievers, so his rage is probably related to that fact.

The one bright spot in this whole business for me has been the discovery of the work of his genuinely intelligent brother, Constitutiional Law Professor Jamal Greene.

I noticed Talib tweeting somebody’s brother’s disagreement as a way of discrediting their arguments, but there’s no way that Jamal would be co-signing Talib’s bullshit.

The level of stupidity on display here is astonishing… How has Mr. Kweli not won a Darwin Award yet?
