Anti-Semitism

On July 27, 2020, Colston shared a graphic on Facebook that featured a caption that read: “I’d like to apologize to the JewISH Community for not letting you know sooner that y’all are a Counterfeit.” The image also featured a cartoon of a police car chasing a black man.

On July 22, 2020, Colston shared  to Facebook a link to a video that argued [00:00:38] “Eastern European Jews” were descendants of “Turkish Khazars who converted to Judaism.” Colson commented: “Maybe if you here [sic] it from white people you will believe cuz you don’t trust blacks.”


The video Colston shared, went on to endorse [00:04:30] and cite [00:04:57] from the anti-Semitic booklet titled: “The International Jew,” by Henry Ford. The video also promoted [00:13:45] Holocaust revisionism.

On July 18, 2020, Colston shared to Facebook a meme that suggested Jews in Hollywood use money to bribe and force Black people into recanting the claim that they “Are The Israelites.”

The meme referred to Nick‌ ‌Cannon‌‌, who, was fired by ViacomCBS in July 2020 after he made anti-Semitic comments on his podcast, for which he later apologized. Cannon reportedly promoted various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including the claim that Jewish people control the media. 

Cannon also reportedly suggested that Jewish people were not real Jews and that African Americans were “the true Hebrews."

On July 16, 2020, Colston shared to Facebook a graphic that juxtaposed a photo of Orthodox Jews captioned: “What They Tell Us Jews Look Like” alongside a photo of Black Hebrew Israelites, captioned: “What Jews Really Look Like. Wake Up Israel.”
