Ellison did not attempt to go to Israel in 2008-2009
The article claims that Ellison attempted to enter Israel during the 2008-2009 Gaza conflict, but was denied entry. In the video that was cited for this, Ellison explains that he was not allowed into GAZA during his 2007 trip to Israel. He was, however, allowed entry into the rest of Israel. I will edit the page accordingly. -MJR
Ellison's team which prosecuted Derek Chauvin included Mike Freeman
His role was even discussed in a press conference video.[1]ThatwasmySimpson (talk) 14:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Racist Comments
As two factual edits have both been removed, I’ll leave this in the talk section. Mr. Ellison’s controversial opinions and remarks should have equal access to readers on his page as his positive contributions. Mr. Ellison is cited on video calling a Supreme Court justice a house slave…. On video. There is no “political interpretation” to that. The Senate Judiciary committee condemned that comment with bipartisan support. The comment was only removed because FoxNews is listed as unreliable by Wikipedia. The “reliable” sources like MSNBC and NYT chose not to run that story. All this is fact. The closest thing to opinion I posted was the title of “racist comments” which is entirely justified when you look at what passed Wikipedia’s litmus test to define something as “racist” on other political figures’ pages. This would be even more justified as a bipartisan Senate Judiciary Committee essentially defined Ellison’s comments as racist. Johnnytucf (talk) 02:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you understand what's happening when blacks call another black person an "Uncle Tom"? Think about that. It's no more racist than protesting racism is a racist act, a common accusation made by racists and white supremacists when their racism is pointed out.
Your heading and sources were all coming from a racist universe, and we don't allow that here.
Even the amendment and your unreliable Fox source say "racially charged", which isn't necessarily "racist" (which you use in your heading). -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's the same as an American calling another American a Benedict Arnold. It doesn't mean the person making the comment is anti-American, just because Benedict Arnold was American.
Lack of coverage of a story means that it lacks weight for inclusion. What is important to an article is determined by what reliable sources find important.
Also, the term the Committee used was "racial," not "racist." TFD (talk) 08:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
