Black anti semitism
2019-12-31
back in 1992, Henry Louis Gates had this opinion piece in the NYTimes
While anti-Semitism is generally on the wane in this country, it has been on the rise among black Americans. A recent survey finds not only that blacks are twice as likely as whites to hold anti-Semitic views but -- significantly -- that it is among the younger and more educated blacks that anti-Semitism is most pronounced.

The trend has been deeply disquieting for many black intellectuals. But it is something most of us, as if by unstated agreement, simply choose not to talk about....

#8  Dron,

Per the astute analyst Shelby Steele, they're enabled by white guilt.

#7  People don't want to talk about this, and without talking about it there's no getting past a dangerous self-emasculation in the war against terror and crime. It is a politically incorrect dialogue after the civil rights movement. But you do have a communal problem. A significant portion of American citizenry actively hates the majority.

Anybody that hates 'white' America and claims to be American is lying. They have a vision for a different nation altogether. They are simply biding their time, increasing their numbers, encroaching on national domains as they go. Anybody like that is anti-American and a potential ally to the enemy. It is very much the same pattern as that of global islamism. Paralyze the prey with guilt and projections of victimhood, appeal to their humanist naivete. Simultaneously stripping them of their means, knowing that your more extremist cousins are exploiting, targeting and harassing them into non-existence or capitulation.

Here's a verbose, 'from-the-heart' piece of class-warfare by a professional, committed wakandan, about America's police culture. It is truly telling, in that it displays the real sentiment and intensity of the angst behind these people's facade of civility. A lot of blaming police and excuses of poverty and frustration, and no apology whatsoever. A 'righteous rage' at a police that should not exist as far as the writer is concerned.

#6  the Bureau of Justice Statistics released its 2018 survey of criminal victimization. According to the study, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between blacks and whites last year, including white-on-black and black-on-white attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent. That ratio is becoming more skewed, despite the Democratic claim of Trump-inspired white violence. In 2012-13, blacks committed 85 percent of all interracial victimizations between blacks and whites; whites committed 15 percent. From 2015 to 2018, the total number of white victims and the incidence of white victimization have grown as well.

Blacks are also overrepresented among perpetrators of hate crimes—by 50 percent—according to the most recent Justice Department data from 2017; whites are underrepresented by 24 percent. This is particularly true for anti-gay and anti-Semitic hate crimes.

#4  As long as the Left owns both communities, they have no problem with moving any of them up and down the ladder of hierarchical standing. They get the vote and resources. Divide and conquer.

#3  It's a tribal thing. Territory. There is only space for one most favored community in America.

#1  In the last two generations "African Americans" been given every possible advantage, yet failed to prosper. In fact, as a group, they're worse off then at the start of "Civil Rights" movement. This generates enormous resentment against whites in general. We seen it in both public statements of African American (pseudo*) intellectuals and actions of the black underclass.
However, whites - as a group - are dangerous. Some push back. Jews don't.


*A peace of parchment doesn't make one an intellectual - at best, it's an acknowledgement of what was already there.
