Elected officials and community activists are calling on the head of Philadelphia's NAACP branch to resign after he shared an anti-Semitic meme on social media.
Minister Rodney Muhammad has come under fire for a July 24 Facebook post that had images of Ice Cube, Philadelphia Eagles player DeSean Jackson and Nick Cannon, who have made anti-Semitic comments online over the last few weeks.
Several elected leaders and activists, however, said Muhammad's explanation was not good enough and criticized him for posting the image in the first place. The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia also claimed that the Facebook page associated with the mosque where Muhammad ministers has other anti-Semitic posts.
During a video meeting organized by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, 13 Black and Jewish elected officials condemned Muhammad, and some called for his resignation.
The NAACP released a statement Friday acknowledging Muhammads post was offensive and that the organization denounces all forms of hatred.
Laura Frank, a spokeswoman for the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, told ABC News in a statement that the organization wants him fired.
