The current executive director of the Dymally institute is Dr. Anthony Asadullah Samad, who runs a Twitter feed that includes "Some questionable hashtags." Under #CrackerChronicles, Dr. Samad sent out tweets such as "Degrees matter. Race still matters more. Employers take note!!!" Another tweet hailed a speech at Cal State Dominguez Hills by Angela Davis, the African American who in 1979 was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by an all-white, all-male Communist dictatorship.
The Carson-Torrance branch of the NAACP urged CSU Dominguez Hills to remove Samad, the Daily Breeze reported, "Because of past sexual harassment allegations against him." For local NAACP president Vincent Burr, "There is no place in civil society or the workplace for individuals like Mr. Samad, who uses his position of power to intimidate anyone, specifically women, through sexual provocation." Burr wondered if the appointment showed "Due diligence" over Samad's "Baggage," which included a 1990 conviction for loan fraud and a lot more that Burr failed to mention.
According to The HistoryMakers website Anthony Asadullah Samad was born in 1957 in Brooklyn, graduated from Cal State LA in 1980, then earned a master's degree in public finance from USC in 1983.
In June of 2015, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan was the guest speaker at an Urban Issues forum "Hosted by Anthony Absadullah Samad." Farrakhan was in town to speak at Holman United Methodist Church, where he contended that Los Angeles was "Ground zero" for a nationwide assault on black men and communities of color by militarized police forces.
In an undated BlackNLA piece, possibly from 2003, Samad wrote, "Minister Farrakhan once said, in a lecture, that envy is the mother of murder, meaning envy breeds jealousy which breeds acts of deceit and betrayal of trust. So-called friends quickly become enemies, and their intentions become transparent."
Anthony Asadullah Samad is also a columnist for blackcommentator.com and when Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was contending for the presidency, Samad supported an endorsement by Louis Farrakhan because "No single individual has done more, in the post-King era, to articulate, in a sustained way, the plight of the masses as has Minister Farrakhan." Samad also addressed "Obama's personal spiritual leader, the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, and his association with Farrakhan." As Asadullah Samad explained, "Both Farrakhan and Wright have given non-hostile critiques of Judaism, and neither has advocated attack on Israel - yet both have been labeled 'anti-Semitic' for their comments."
By all indications, Dr. Anthony Asadullah Samad is still all-in on Minister Farrakhan.
