Is Brooks Simpson Anti-semitic? Homophobic? Anti-Italian?

After all, he DID have his picture made with Spike Lee. And his own standard, implied numerous times on his blog, is that if you have your picture made with somebody, that means you believe exactly what that person believes, you embrace what they embrace.

Spike Lee....

Anti-Italian

  • “the most anti-Italian director of all time,” has a “notorious track record of vile and negative portrayals of Italian Americans” in his films.
Homophobic

  • Lee ... proceeds to make statements filled to the brim with homoanxiety...
Anti-semitic

  • Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, says the Flatbush brothers ``dredge up an age-old and highly dangerous form of anti-Semitic stereotyping.``

What one sends around, comes back around....

  2. I saw where Brooks was angry because someone described his work as "vanilla". The comment was spot-on, and Brooks is sorta like the history version of Thomas Kincaid. Commercially successful material, but all very, very ordinary. Plus, like Kincaid, as a person, Simpson is a mean, nasty, little schmuck.

  4. Connie,

    You need help finding the Hendersonm roster that was posted to this website. I tried the search feature but I found it just more confusing. Can you please help.

    Thanks,

  5. George, I don't believe Brooks Simpson is anti-semitic, anti-Italian or homophobic just because he had a photo made with someone who is. Likewise, I don't believe Michael Givens is a racist because he had a photo made with Matt Heimbach at a public event attended by lots of people, or that Susan Hathaway is a racist because she had a photo made with Shane Long at a similar, largely attended public event. Yet that is what Simpson has posted and claimed repeatedly. He is a thoroughly despicable person.

  6. George, that little search function is quite limited. I need to find another one. Anyway, the best way I've found to search a website is to type this into your browser's address bar:

    search term site:website or blog URL.

    Make sure you put a colon between the word "site" and the URL.

    For example, let's say I want to search Backsass for the term "agenda." Here's what I would put in the browser address box:

    agenda site:http://mybacksass.blogspot.com/

    You can have more than one word as the search term. For example, "their agenda' "civil war" "SCV and UDC"....

    You can search any site or blog that way. The only problem is that it won't search the comments of some blogs, just the posts. I'm not sure what determines whether comment threads can be searched. I believe it does search the comments on Backsass, but I'm not sure.

  7. George, do you mean the Henderson Roll, a Cherokee census? If so, I think this is the only post where it's mentioned: http://mybacksass.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-professor-of-history-does-history.html

    1. Connie the roster I am looking for is a roster of Black Confederates. It was posted this year. I tried the links you posted that is not what I am looking for.

    2. George, I guess Google doesn't search comment threads. I'm not sure h ow you'd find unless you can remember what post you were commenting on.

  8. Simpson accuses Hall of racism, and to prove it, he quotes Hall using the word "nigger". Pretty damning evidence, right? But Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, and William Sherman all used the word "nigger" too. So they are racists too. If however, those three Union men are excused because they were simply a product of their times, then the racial views of 19th century Southerners are likewise to be excused. Can't have it both ways Brooksy boy. Your foul hypocrisy is on full display.

  9. If you're a leftist, and you want to be accepted as a good anti-racist leftist, but you aren't particularly eager to spend time with blacks, hispanics,etc., all you gotta do to keep your leftist credentials is ...call somebody ELSE a racist.

    That's it.

    You can live a lily white life, free from suspicions of "white supremacy" and all you gotta do is call somebody ELSE a white supremacist.That totally inoculates you from charges of racism as you live your bight-white life.

  10. Have you ever seen the audiences at the lectures Brooks gives? Almost 100 per cent white. And who do you think is buying a copy of "The Political Education of Henry Adams"? I hear they are absolutely flying off the shelves in the Harlem bookstores. Pfffft....

    Simpson is a world-class hypocrite and an unbelievable fraud.
