Big Tech companies love to make a show of cracking down on “hate” to score some brownie points and appease the racial justice crowd. Of course, that’s really all it is — just a show.
Kamau Bobb lost his position as Google’s diversity chief on Thursday after coming under fire for a 2007 blog post expressing anti-Semitic sentiments, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself,” Bobb wrote on Nov. 30, 2007, in a post entitled “If I Were a Jew.”
“Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering [of] others. My greatest torment would be that I’ve misinterpreted the identity offered by my history and transposed spiritual and human compassion with self righteous impunity,” Bobb, then a research associate at Georgia Tech University, added.
