Amiri Baraka has the right to free speech no matter what he has to say. In my opinion, the poem was not anti-semetic. I think that people who believe this read the poem and took it for face value....READ BETWEEN THE LINES PEOPLE!!! Whatever Baraka said in that poem was ok with me because i believe in freedom of speech. How can you tell an American that they have freedom to say what they want and then turn around and say "oh well you can't say THAT". Whether or not the poem was anti-semetic is not the case, it's that Baraka has every right to his own opinions...THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!!!!!
