New Jersey Poet Lauriate Won't Resign Post
Poet Lauriate Amiri Baraka ( Leroi Jones) Won't Resign because of his poem in which he blames Israel for 9/11
N.J. poet laureate won't resign over 9/11 poem
By Matthew Purdy
THE NEW YORK TIMES
NEWARK, N.J. - Just before Gov. James E. McGreevey introduced Amiri Baraka last
month as New Jersey's new poet laureate, the celebrated and controversial activist writer
said he warned the governor this might happen.
"I said, 'Governor, you're going to catch a lot of hell for this,' " Baraka said. "He said, 'I
don't care.' I said, 'If you don't care, I don't care.' "
Baraka still doesn't care.
But the governor suddenly does. Political turmoil has found the last virgin turf in New
Jersey public life: the poet laureate.
The governor has demanded that Baraka resign because a poem he read at a poetry
festival 10 days ago said Israel had advance knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks. Baraka is
refusing to resign. The governor's aides say McGreevey lacks the power to remove
Baraka, since he was selected by a committee of poets and cultural aficionados. That
group has obtained a legal opinion saying it can only select, not oust, laureates.
Besides, poets are usually ignored, not censored. "A sticky wicket," said a statehouse aide,
apparently practicing for the laureate's job, should it open up.
In his offending poem, titled "Somebody Blew Up America," a litany of massacres and
oppression, Baraka refers to five Israelis filming the attacks, and asks:
"Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed
Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers
To stay home that day
Why did Sharon stay away?"
"Terrorized for years"
In an interview Thursday, the day before the governor demanded his resignation, Baraka
was unrepentant. The artist formerly known as LeRoi Jones has had so many phases -
Greenwich Village beatnik, Harlem black nationalist, bloodied warrior of the 1967
Newark riots, Marxist, critic of Newark mayors - that he seemed unfazed by the rocky
start of his laureate phase.
Told that he offended people, he said: "I know. What can I do? I'm not perfect, alas."
Reading the Internet convinced him that Israel knew about Sept. 11 beforehand.
"Obviously they knew about it, like Bush knew about it," he said. Espousing a theory
popular in parts of the Muslim world, he said the White House let it happen to get "carte
blanche" to have its way with Afghanistan, Iraq, the rest of the Middle East.
President Bush knew in advance? "Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely."
And Baraka added: "So did the Russians, so did the Germans. Why do you think investors
sold their stock in United and American Airlines the month before?"
Baraka's career at the keyboard and on the street has been guided by the view that the
powerful conspire against the powerless. "Terrorism," he said. "Black people. We've been
terrorized for years. There's been no alert to stop the KKK and the skinheads."
Suspicious of power
Over the years, Baraka has been lauded and accused every which way. The American
Academy of Arts and Letters called him "one of the most important African-American
poets since Langston Hughes" when it inducted him last year. He pleads guilty to the
communist label and said he regrets his early anti-white writings. In 1980, he wrote a
self-defense titled "Confessions of a Former Anti-Semite."
Baraka, 67, gray and slightly hunched, holds court in a large house in a faded Newark
neighborhood. His suspicion of power oozes from every pore.
His selection as laureate honored his strong voice, long career and prominence. The
committee chairwoman, Judith Pinch, said that the group felt he could promote poetry
among city youths and that "his strengths outweighed some past reputation for being
slightly outrageous."

I hope that I soon will see,
This boofer hanging from a tree.
The noose around his neck so tight,
That at his funeral you'd think he's white.
This Baraka, who hates the Jews,
Shall soon not be wearing shoes.
His silly poem 'bout 9-1-1,
His friends have dwindled down to none.
Except for anarchist and neo-nazis,
Who in his verse, find comfort lotsies.
Cause once an Anti-Semite always, gee,
Just like his buddy Noam Chomsky.
He will resign, he'll do it soon,
Or I will send him to the moon.

While your streets crumble and your clinics vanish
and maybe you're even sick, guess WHERE it all goes?
It's not for you or me or for our common defence.
Or welfare.
Instead of running them over a cliff, why not
just kick them out.
We could build this land up from scrath after they
left with all their toys (read capital flight)even
after what has been done to this bueatiful land and
its people.

This story is actually sicker than it sounds. This country has gotten so imperial that the individual states have paid and tenured poet laureates! Its hard to believe.
I picture the state elite parading into the state assembly in Trenton, Governor McGreevy in a robe, judges, state police officers and county freeman arrayed around him. The poet laureate marchs to the front of the assembly as bugles blow. He then unrolls a scroll and begins to recite a poem commemerating the glories of the new Turnpike Toll booths or proclaim Taylor Ham the state processed meat.
What a load of crap. Are we going to have paid jesters, ladies in waiting, (we already have pages for god's sake). Sounds like a swell demoncracy. And we thought Nixon had the Imperial Presidency.
And these tenured people get ten grand a year plopping into their mailbox each and every year for the rest of their life whether they do anything or not?
Ten thousand isn't much but it is more than Torrecelli's watch, about the price of his two suits. Its a third of a teacher's pension. It'll pay off most peole's car loans.
What a load of horse shit. Unbelievable.

Instead of re-posting these tired claims so often, why don't you address these answers.

That the WTC even had 4,000 Isrealis working in the place defies logic for starters. Anyway, if you really want to push this National Enquirer hogwash, start with this link and provide some point-to-point rebuttals.

The purpose of poetry is to provoke thought and emotions. Mr. Baraka has achieved both. It is interesting that the entire poem has not been discussed or delineated. Mr. Baraka uses his poem to illustrate that, we as a society, should ask questions of our government. Further, he asserts that we have a responsibility to educate ourselves and then ask those questions of our government.
Also, make sure one (or you) make the distinction between the Jewish people and the government of Isreal. There are Christians in Isreal as well as the Jews. Do not discount those in Isreal just because they are in the minority cultures. Use discernment.

I hope you are arrested for making threats against a human being. Violence will never bring peace. Instead of threatening Mr. Baraka why don't you look to your own weak and violent tendencies and try to solve them. If you claim Mr. Baraka is anti-semite, your same poem can be used to say that you are anti-black. Who is the bigger racist; the one who questions? Or, the one who attacks?
Thanks Baraka, cause nigger animals like you relieve me of any lingering guilt over racism. My racism is a product of a lifetime of contact with a violent, inferior people who are too lazy and subhuman to succeed like civilized people.

Are you Realy that racist? Maybe some time in a foxhole with your brother human would change your mind.
"The purpose of poetry is to provoke thought and emotions."
This is the cause for artistically inept poems such as this to be regarded as something that they are not: Art. Bad poem, stale ideas, horrible craft. He should resign because he is not a poet, he writes political propaganda that is stale anyway.

what's stale about his propaganda? that's a very strange criticism considering how much discussion this poem has generated.
please defend that description or be seen as talking out of your ass.

Since I understand that you are not very familiar with the work of Mr Baraka, I will discuss it briefly. Almost every poem Mr Baraka has written, or at least the overwhelming majority of it (including the many i have seen and read) are chock full of a certain kind of political stance, that is the whitey did stance. Its very simple, its there in the poem in question, its there in almost every poem. Its old. We have all heard it before. Read some poetry sometime, and maybe we could talk about it.

And one more thing, about the 'newness' of any of Mr Baraka's propaganda, I think everyone here has all these conspiracies before, I would also venture to say that anyone who would take the the time to read his work also has too. Its not new, we all heard the Israel knew about it, we all heard Bush knew about it so he could be more agressive in places like Iraq. In order for a person not to know that, I would seriously have to say you must have been living in some cave somewhere cut off from the rest of the world.
Just a warning that you may be wasting your time. If this "matthew" is "matthew willis" that has been writing on here for some time now, there is concern among some that he is an FBI informant.
This eRumor says that when the attacks took place on September 11, there was immediate mourning of 4,000 Israelis who worked in the towers and who were killed. Then, according to the eRumor, there was suddenly no mention of the Israeli losses. That was because it has been discovered that none of them showed up for work that day. The clear suggestion of the is that they were tipped-off about the planned attacks. Presumably because of the pending attacks, a decision was made to cancel a planned appearance by Premier Ariel Sharon. The report closes by saying that the FBI arrested five Israelis after the attack who were filming it and rejoicing over it. The implication is that Israelis may have been responsible for the attacks.
The Truth:
Nothing in this report fits with any of the facts that are known about the terrorist attacks. This report came from Al-Manar Television in Beirut Lebanon, a pro-Palestinian channel.
A real example of the story as it has been circulated:
4000 Israeli Employees in WTC Absent the Day of the Attack
With the announcement of the attacks at the World Trade Center in New York, the international media, particularly the Israeli one, hurried to take advantage of the incident and started mourning 4000 Israelis who work at the two towers.
Then suddenly, no one ever mentioned anything about those Israelis and later it became clear that they remarkably did not show up in their jobs the day the incident took place. No one talked about any Israeli being killed or wounded in the attacks.
Arab diplomatic sources revealed to the Jordanian al-Watan newspaper that those Israelis remained absent that day based on hints from the Israeli General Security Apparatus, the Shabak, the fact which evoked unannounced suspicions on American officials who wanted to know how the Israeli government learned about the incident before it occurred, and the reasons why it refrained from informing the U.S authorities of the information it had.
Suspicions had increased further after Israeli new! ! spaper Yadiot Ahranot revealed that the Shabak prevented Israeli premier Ariel Sharon from traveling to New York and particularly to the city's eastern coast to participate in a festival organized by the Zionist organizations in support of the "Israel". Aharon Bernie, the commentator at the newspaper, brought up the issue and came up with a negative conclusion, saying "no answer". He then asked about the clue behind the Shabak's position in preventing Sharon's participation, and again without giving an answer. Bernie added that Sharon, who was delighted for having his speech on top of the festival agenda, asked the head of the organization to mediate and convince the Shabak to change its position, but his attempts were in vein. The next day after Sharon's secretary officially announced that Sharon would not participate the incident took place. For its part, the Israeli Ha'aretz newspaper revealed that the FBI arrested five Israelis four hours after the attack on the Twin Tower! ! s while filming the smoking skyline from the roof of their company's building.
The FBI had arrested the five for "puzzling behavior". They are said to have been caught videotaping the disaster in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery.
THIS IS FICTION FROM Al-Manar Television in Beirut Lebanon, a pro-Palestinian channel.
YOU WANT TRUTH IN REPORTING ? STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM SFIMC. REFUSE TO HAVE THE FILTH ACCEPTED AND PROMOTED AS TRUTH HERE ENTER YOUR HEAD.
SF IMC IS FULL OF BRAIN DAMAGED VERMIN WHO HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE BETTERMENT OF AMERICA OR THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE ONLY FOR THE FALL OF AMERICA AND ITS REPLACEMENT BY ANARCHY.
FREEDOM OF SPEACH AND RIGHT TO PROTEST ARE RIGHTS EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS.
FREEDOM TO SEEK THE DOWNFALL OF AMERICA IS NOT.
SO IN THE WORDS OF ANOTHER, FUCK SFIMC!!!! AND THE VERMIN WHO SUPPORT IT !!

A comment for Jill , one of the readers of the Baraka "poem" and one who made a 'comment'.
ISRAEL is the correct spelling and not "Isreal" as you wrote several times in your response.
Maybe it is good to learn the correct spelling and pronunciation of a place before we email a response so that all who reads will think we are informed.
This response is to the woman who is called
Jill Porter and who has responded several times to Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones 'poem'.
Ms. Porter.may I call you Jill? Please know that you are what is known as a 'suck up' and that your silly
comments about this trash called 'poetry' and your references to ' VIOLENCE ' are a contadiction of what you
defend !!!! Mr. Baraka,as he is now called, is a violent and arrogant man himself who once carried weapons of destruction to the Newark riots and who now continues to spread racist weapons against Americans,Jews, caucasians and others, and refers to his own kind as 'niggers' for 'ART'S SAKE OF COURSE,
Do you ever 'READ BETWEEN THE LINES ????'
Not only 'stale' but belongs in the dumpster !
Pornographic mind rot like that of this excuse for a 'poem' only generates responses becauses some of us with MINDS of intelligence also have XRAY vision, and can SEE THRU this kind of anti semite TRASH !

Mr. T ???
DOESN'T SAY TOO MUCH FOR 'ORIGINALITY'..OH WELL, YOU ALSO THINK THAT LEROI JONES IS AN 'ORIGINAL' TOO? WHY THE MAN EVEN HAD TO CHANGE HIS ORIGINAL NAME TO AMIRI BARAKA BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE DOES IS FRAUDULENT !
THIS TRASH IS NOT ART, NOT PURE OF THOUGHT, NOT INNOCENT, AND NOT EVEN WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON!
