Purchase The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews

About "Civil Rights"
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"A special and unique relationship to Jews"
When we were working in Chicago, we had numerous rent strikes on the
West Side, and it was unfortunately true that, in most instances, the
persons we had to conduct these strikes against were Jewish landlords.
There was a time when the West Side of Chicago was a Jewish ghetto, and
when the Jewish community started moving out into other areas, they
still owned the property there, and all of the problems of the landlord
came into being.
We were living in a slum apartment owned by a Jew and a number of
others, and we had to have a rent strike. We were paying $94 for four
run-down, shabby rooms, and we would go out on our open housing marches
on Gage Park and other places and we discovered that whites with five
sanitary, nice, new rooms, apartments with five rooms, were paying only
$78 a month. We were paying 20 percent tax.
The Negro ends up paying a color tax, and this has happened in
instances where Negroes actually confronted Jews as the landlord or the
storekeeper. The irrational statements that have been made are the
result of these confrontations.

Black Slavery
Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael
"Jews also took an active part in the Dutch colonial slave trade;
indeed, the bylaws of the Recife and Mauricia congregations (1648)
included an imposta (Jewish tax) of five soldos for each Negro slave a
Brazilian Jew purchased from the West Indies Company. Slave auctions
were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday. In Curacao in the
seventeenth century, as well as in the British colonies of Barbados and
Jamaica in the eighteenth century, Jewish merchants played a major role
in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether
French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently
dominated.
"This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the
eighteenth century Jews participated in the 'triangular trade' that
brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them
for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into
rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750's,
David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760's, and Aaron Lopez of Newport
in the late 1760's and early 1770's dominated Jewish slave trading on
the American continent."

Ira Rosenwaike
"In Charleston, Richmond and Savannah the large majority (over
three-fourths) of the Jewish households contained one or more slaves;
in Baltimore, only one out of three households were slaveholding; in
New York, one out of eighteen....Among the slaveholding households the
median number of slaves owned ranged from five in Savannah to one in
New York." "The Jewish Population in 1820," in Abraham J. Karp, ed.,

Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society (Waltham,
Massachusetts, 1969, 3 volumes), volume 2, pp. 2, 17, 19.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cecil Roth
"The Jews of the Joden Savanne [Surinam] were also foremost in the
suppression of the successive negro revolts, from 1690 to 1722: these
as a matter of fact were largely directed against them, as being the
greatest slave-holders of the region." History of the Marranos
(Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society of America, 1932), p. 292.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob Rader Marcus
"All through the eighteenth century, into the early nineteenth, Jews in
the North were to own black servants; in the South, the few plantations
owned by Jews were tilled with slave labor. In 1820, over 75 percent of
all Jewish families in Charleston, Richmond, and Savannah owned slaves,
employed as domestic servants; almost 40 percent of all Jewish
householders in the United States owned one slave or more. There were
no protests against slavery as such by Jews in the South, where they
were always outnumbered at least 100 to 1....But very few Jews anywhere
in the United States protested against chattel slavery on moral
grounds." United States Jewry, 1776-1985 (Detroit: Wayne State
University Press, 1989), p. 586.
Marcus describes the mockery of the Indian by Hyam Myer's "Wild West
Show" in his book, The Colonial American Jew:
"[Myer sought] formal permission to exhibit some Mohawks in Europe.
Myers sailed with the Indians before the proper certificate was
forthcoming from the Indian Commissioner, and had already begun to
parade them in Holland and in the taverns of London when the Lords of
Trade urged Lieutenant-Governor Cadwallader Colden in New York to have
Johnson put an end to the undertaking. From all indications Myers made
no money on his grand European tour, for he ended up owing the Indians
money - or refusing to pay them. Then, as now, there was "no business
like show business!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac Mayer Wise, the leader of the American Reform Jews, wrote of the
California Indians:
"...though not total savages, [they] are very primitive and
ignorant....[They do] nothing besides loafing and begging....They catch
trout in the river, and then sell them to buy ammunition, shoot
rabbits, birds, eat various roots and wild plants, also snakes, frogs,
dogs, cats, and rats, and say, 'Me work no.' In conversation with
several of them I found that they have no particular home and are
heathens."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julius Kahn, San Francisco Jew
In turn-of-the-century San Francisco the 12-term Congressman Julius
Kahn was a Jew who was affiliated with Temple Emanu El. "The oath to
the Japanese," he said, "would be but a hollow mockery, an empty
formality signifying nothing. We do not want that kind of citizenship,
and we do not intend to have it, if we can prevent it." He spoke
vehemently against Japanese immigration and naturalization even as Jews
pushed mightily for Eastern European immigration. The early 1900 saw
passage of the Chinese Exclusion Acts which were enthusiastically
supported by Kahn and his constituents. He was such an advocate that
the Acts were called the Kahn Exclusion Acts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society Report of 1853
"The Jews of the United States have never taken any steps whatever with
regard to the slavery question. As citizens, they deem it their policy
to have every one choose which ever side he may deem best to promote
his own interests and the welfare of his country. They have no
organization of an ecclesiastical body to represent their general
views; no General Assembly, or its equivalent. The American Jews have
two newspapers, but they do not interfere in any discussion which is
not material to their religion. It cannot be said that the Jews have
formed any denominational opinion on the subject of American
slavery....The objects of so much mean prejudice and unrighteous
oppression as the Jews have been for ages, surely they, it would seem,
more than any other denomination, ought to be the enemies of caste, and
friends of universal freedom."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rabbi Bertram W. Korn
"It would seem to be realistic to conclude that any Jew who could
afford to own slaves and had need for their services would do
so....Jews participated in every aspect and process of the exploitation
of the defenseless blacks."

Louis Epstein, author of Sex Laws and Customs in Judaism:
"The female slave was a sex tool beneath the level of moral
considerations. She was an economic good, useful, in addition to her
menial labor, for breeding more slaves. To attain that purpose, the
master mated her promiscuously according to his breeding plans. The
master himself and his sons and other members of his household took
turns with her for the increase of the family wealth, as well as for
satisfaction of their extra-marital sex desires. Guests and neighbors
too were invited to that luxury."

Seymour B. Liebman
"They came with ships carrying African blacks to be sold as slaves. The
traffic in slaves was a royal monopoly, and the Jews were often
appointed as agents for the Crown in their sale....[They] were the
largest ship chandlers in the entire Caribbean region, where the
shipping business was mainly a Jewish enterprise....The ships were not
only owned by Jews, but were manned by Jewish crews and sailed under
the command of Jewish captains."

Arnold Wiznitzer
"The West India Company, which monopolized imports of slaves from
Africa, sold slaves at public auctions against cash payment. It
happened that cash was mostly in the hands of Jews. The buyers who
appeared at the auctions were almost always Jews, and because of this
lack of competitors they could buy slaves at low prices. On the other
hand, there also was no competition in the selling of the slaves to the
plantation owners and other buyers, and most of them purchased on
credit payable at the next harvest in sugar. Profits up to 300 percent
of the purchase value were often realized with high interest
rates....If it happened that the date of such an auction fell on a
Jewish holiday the auction had to be postponed. This occurred on
Friday, October 21, 1644."

Rabbi Morris Raphall
"[I]t remains a fact which cannot be gainsaid that in his own native
home, and generally throughout the world, the unfortunate negro is
indeed the meanest of slaves. Much had been said respecting the
inferiority of his intellectual powers, and that no man of his race has
ever inscribed his name on the Parthenon of human excellence, either
mental or moral."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jews in the South
W.E.B. DuBois, future NAACP leader
"The Jew is the heir of the slave-baron in Dougherty [Georgia]; and as
we ride westward, by wide stretching cornfields and stubby orchards of
peach and pear, we see on all sides within the circle of dark forest a
Land of Canaan. Here and there are tales of projects for moneygetting,
born in the swift days of ReconstructionÂ'improvement' companies, wine
companies, mills and factories; nearly all failed, and the Jew fell
heir."
The Souls of Black Folk (1903) note: When DuBois tried to republish the
book in 1953, he succumbed to pressure to replace the word "Jew" with
"foreigner."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jewish Racism
Moses Maimonides
The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion refers to Moses Maimonides as
"the symbol of the pure and orthodox faith." His Guide to the Perplexed
is considered the greatest work of Jewish religious philosophy, but his
view of Blacks was Hitlerian:
"[T]he Negroes found in the remote South, and those who resemble them
from among them that are with us in these climes. The status of those
is like that of irrational animals. To my mind they do not have the
rank of men, but have among the beings a rank lower than the rank of
man but higher than the rank of apes. For they have the external shape
and lineaments of a man and a faculty of discernment that is superior
to that of the apes."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philadelphia Jewish weekly The Jewish Record of January 23, 1863:
"We know not how to speak in the same breath of the Negro and the
Israelite. The very names have startlingly opposite sounds  one
representing all that is debased and inferior in the hopeless barbarity
and heathenism of six thousand years the other, the days when Jehovah
conferred on our fathers the glorious equality which led the Eternal to
converse with them, and allow them to enjoy the communion of angels.
Thus the abandoned fanatics insult the choice of God himself, in
endeavoring to reverse the inferiority which he stamped on the African,
to make him the compeer, even in bondage, of His chosen people.
"There is no parallel between such races. Humanity from pole to pole
would scout such a comparison. The Hebrew was originally free and the
charter of his liberty was inspired by his Creator. The Negro was never
free and his bondage in Africa was simply duplicated in a milder form
when he was imported here....The judicious in all the earth agree that
to proclaim the African equal to the surrounding races, would be a
farce which would lead the civilized conservatism of the world to
denounce the outrage."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Rabbi, 1956
"What our friends in the North do not fully appreciate is the fact that
there is no difference between most of the Jews and their Christian
neighbors in their attitudes toward the Negro. This is not a by-product
of antisemitism, but an honest conviction. For these Jews desegregation
presents not merely a school problem, but also a problem of the mixing
of races."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Mordecai Manuel Noah (1785-1851)
He was considered the most distinguished Jewish layman in his time. He
was such a prolific proponent of slavery, that the first Black American
periodical, The Freedom's Journal, was launched in response to Noah's
racist propaganda. He actually defended slavery by calling it liberty:
"There is liberty under the name of slavery. A field negro has his
cottage, his wife, and children, his easy task, his little patch of
corn and potatoes, his garden and fruit, which are his revenue and
property. The house servant has handsome clothing, his luxurious meals,
his admitted privacy, a kind master, and an indulgent and frequently
fond mistress."
He argued that "the bonds of society must be kept as they now are" and
that "To emancipate the slaves would be to jeopardize the safety of the
whole country." The Freedom's Journal called Noah the Black man's
"bitterest enemy" and William Lloyd Garrison, the leading White
abolitionist, called him the "lineal descendant of the monsters who
nailed Jesus to the cross."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jews and Hollywood
Anti-Defamation League Charter
"For a number of years a tendency has manifested itself in American
life toward the caricaturing and defaming of Jews on the stage, in
moving pictures. The effect of this on the unthinking public has been
to create an untrue and injurious impression of an entire people and to
expose the Jew to undeserved contempt, and ridicule. The caricatures
center around some idiosyncrasy of the few which, by the thoughtless
public, is often taken as a pivotal characteristic of the entire
people..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neal Gabler
Author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews invented Hollywood
"What is amazing is the extent to which they succeeded in promulgating
this fiction throughout the world. By making a "shadow" America, one
which idealized every old glorifying bromide about the country, the
Hollywood Jews created a powerful cluster of images and ideas-so
powerful that, in a sense, they colonized the American imagination. . .
. Ultimately, American values came to be defined largely by the movies
the Jews made."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lester D. Friedman
Author of Hollywood's Image of the Jew
"Today, most people associate the blackface tradition with minstrel
shows, and more particularly with Al Jolson. In actuality, many Jewish
performers gained early and continued success using it. Sophie Tucker
was billed as the 'World Renowned Coon Shouter' or more euphemistically
as the 'Manipulator of Coon Melodies.' Eddie Cantor played Salome in
drag and blackface, while George Burns often toured with an even more
comically stylized blackface than Jolson's. Later George Jessel often
joined Eddie Cantor on stage in various blackface routines...Indeed, it
is too easy to ignore the derogatory aspects of such activities, the
unconscious racism accepted and nourished by such cruel parodies, by
citing historical contexts. The undisguised elements of ridicule in
such blackface portrayals by Jews mimicking the outlandish stereotypes
of blacks now looks suspiciously like one group's desperate need to
assert its own superiority by mimicking another. Such a motivation
while perhaps unconscious is nonetheless hard to ignore."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rob Reiner, Film Director, on Hollywood in 1992:
"It's all run by Jews, even Disney. That's funny, because Walt Disney
was a terrible reactionary. If he found out that Jeffrey Katzenberg
were running his company, he'd be spinning in his grave. That's a
wonderful bit of poetic justice."

The REAL Anti-Defamation League
B'nai B'rith Magazine, May, 1925, vol. 39 :

Cicero: Whoffo'? Nigguh, who do yo' calkerate yo' is?
Rastus: Yo' nigguh! mah family am quality folks an' ahm a pusson of
rank.
Cicero: Huh! ah'll have yo' triflin', Rastus, to know that ah'm ranker
than you is.
"Jokes" like these appeared regularly in the B'nai B'rith Magazine even
as the ADL fought this kind of defamation of Jews. In photo is ADL
current "leader" Abraham "Bull" Foxman.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Goodman
"...it is true that the white man (and by this I mean Christian
civilization in general) has proved himself to be the most depraved
devil imaginable in his attitudes towards the Negro race....The source
and cause of this need for reaction can be attributed to white contempt
and neglect. The historical contempt that the white race held for the
Negroes has created a group of rootless degraded people. The current
neglect of the problem can only irritate this deplorable state of
affairs. The Black Muslims should constitute a warning to our society,
a warning that must be heeded if we are to preserve the society. The
road to freedom must be uphill, even if it is arduous and frustrating.
A people must have dignity and identity. If they can't do it
peacefully, they will do it defensively."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sherman Labovitz
Most Blacks seem more concerned with separatism as a means toward goals
of group identity, group pride, and local control, and as an
intervening stage leading to the self-respect, autonomy, and power
believed to be prerequisite before meaningful integrtion within a truly
pluralistic society can occur.
In theory, these concepts are part of a philosophical comitment with
which few Jews could quarrel. In fact, a persuasive argument might be
presented to demonstrate how even a similar tactical approach to Jewish
survival has been succesfully applied and has reulted in the current
positive position and status of the American Jewish community. However,
Black attempts to operationalize these concepts have raised sharply the
question of the degree to which Jews here and now remain committed to
that philosophical stance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jews in the Black Ghetto
Long before Minister Farrakhan made any reference to this phenomenon
Jack Nusan Porter, a Jewish sociologist was very clear about it in his
article entitled "Mr. Goldberg and John Henry: The Relationship Between
Afro-Americans and American Jews":
"The common stereotype of Jews owning the businesses in Black ghettos
is based on solid evidence, not fantasy. Jews in the East and Midwest
own a disproportionate number of businesses in Black areas. [Two Jewish
researchers have shown] that some 40 percent of the stores are owned by
Jews. [Another] study of 458 merchants in 15 cities (14 of the largest
plus Gary, Indiana but not including Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, or
any other Southern city) had the following religious breakdown of
retail merchants: 37.9% were Jewish; 36.0% were Protestant; and 22.9%
were Catholic... The breakdown by religion, when race is considered,
increases the number: 51.3% of the white merchants are Jewish; 18.7%
are Protestant; and 27.0% are Catholic."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elie Weisel, Hate Teacher
"There is a time to love and a time to hate; whoever does not hate when
he should does not deserve to love when he should, does not deserve to
love when he is able. Perhaps, had we learned to hate more during the
years of ordeal, fate itself would have taken fright. The Germans did
their best to teach us, but we were poor pupils in the discipline of
hate....Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of
hate - healthy, virile hate - for what the German personifies and for
what persists in the German. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of the
dead."
Legends of Our Time (1968), pp.177-78:
Compare and contrast with...
Adolf Hitler
Hitler HATED Black people. His comments are included for the reader to
compare to the many Jewish notables discussed here. Here is a sampling
of Adolf Hitler's beliefs about the Black African:
"It does not dawn upon this depraved bourgeois world that here one has
actually to do with a sin against all reason; that it is a criminal
absurdity to train a born half-ape until one believes a lawyer has been
made of him, while millions of members of the highest culture race have
to remain in entirely unworthy positions; that it is a sin against the
will of the eternal Creator to let hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of His most talented beings degenerate in the proletarian swamp of
today, while Hottentots and Zulu Kafirs are trained for intellectual
vocations. For it is training, exactly as that of the poodle, and not a
scientific 'education'."
"In the most critical hour of our people, in the moment when we,
practically abandoned by all the world, made defenseless by our own
fault, have to watch France setting out to occupy new territories,
while African negroes rape our women and children,..."
"The black disgrace works havoc on the Rhine. Women, girls and children
pay for the bestial negroes' lust with their death. An uninterrupted
stream of poison and disease flows into the blood of our people.
Moroccan syphilis drives thousands of victims towards a cruel death..."
"All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally
creative race died off through blood poisoning."
"...and one seeks compensation by success with Hottentots and Zulu
Kafirs, with the blessing of the Church. While our European peoples,
the Lord be praised and thanked, fall into a state of physical and
moral leprosy, the pious missionary wanders to Central Africa and
establishes negro missions, till there our 'higher culture' will have
turned healthy, though primitive and inferior, human children into a
foul breed of bastards."
"What we see before us of human culture today, the results of art,
science, and techniques, is almost exclusively the creative produce of
the Aryan....Without this possibility of utilizing inferior men, the
Aryan would never have been able to take the first steps towards his
later culture; exactly as, without the help of various suitable animals
which he knew how to tame, he would never have arrived at a technology
which now allows him to do without these very animals. The words 'Der
Mohr hat seine Schuldigkeit getan, er kann gehen' (The Moor has done
his duty, he may go) has [sic] unfortunately too deep a meaning."

Robert A. Rockaway, is a senior lecturer in the Department of Jewish
History at Tel Aviv University.
"After the first World War, Jewish Gangsters became major figures in
the American underworld and played prominent roles in the creation and
extension of organized crime in the United States. During Prohibition
fifty percent of the leading bootleggers were Jews, and Jewish
criminals financed and directed much of the nations narcotics traffic.
Jews also dominated illicit activities in a number of America's largest
cities, including Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York,
and Philadelphia."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malcolm X
Let me say just a word about the Jew and the black man. The Jew is
always anxious to advise the black man. But he never advises him how to
solve the problem the way the Jews solved their problem. The Jew never
went sitting in and crawling in and sliding in and freedom riding, like
he teaches and helps Negroes to do. The Jews stood up, and stood
together, and they used their ultimate power, the economic weapon.
That's exactly what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is trying to teach
black men to do.The Jews pooled their money and bought hotels that
barred them. They bought Atlantic City and Miami Beach and anything
else they wanted. Who owns Hollywood? Who runs the garment industry,
the largest industry in New York City? But the Jew that's advising the
Negro joins the NAACP, CORE, the Urban League, and others. With money
donations, the Jew gains control, then he sends the black man doing all
this wading in, boring in, even burying in-everything but buying in.
Never shows him how to set up factories and hotels. Never advises him
how to own what he wants. No, when there's something worth owning, the
Jew's got it.
Prof. Selwyn Cudjoe:
"The position then is very clear, Zionism is racist, it is colonial and
perforce expansionist...it constitutes an intolerable and repulsive
ideological position that is detrimental to peace in the world. It must
be equated with South African apartheid."
- Wellesley College Prof. Selwyn Cudjoe in the Trinidad Guardian, 1975,
as quoted in the Trinidad Guardian, May 22, 2000, p.13. Cudjoe was the
"responsible" negro-on-duty representing the Jews at Wellesley College
in their attack on Prof. Tony Martin. His shameless angling for Jewish
rewards is now exposed.

Jesus Christ
Joh:8:31: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Joh:8:32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
Joh:8:33: They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh:8:34: Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Joh:8:35: And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the
Son abideth ever.
Joh:8:36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed.
Joh:8:37: I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
because my word hath no place in you.
Joh:8:38: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father.
Joh:8:39: They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works
of Abraham.
Joh:8:40: But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh:8:41: Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh:8:42: Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself,
but he sent me.
Joh:8:43: Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word.
Joh:8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh:8:45: And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Joh:8:46: Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth,
why do ye not believe me?
Joh:8:47: He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God.
Joh:8:48: Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Joh:8:49: Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
and ye do dishonour me.
Joh:8:50: And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.
Joh:8:51: Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never see death.
Joh:8:52: Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a
devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man
keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
Joh:8:53: Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Joh:8:54: Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Joh:8:55: Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him,
and keep his saying.
Joh:8:56: Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it,
and was glad.
Joh:8:57: Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years
old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Joh:8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am.
Joh:8:59: Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them,
and so passed by.

Ralph A. Austen of the University of Chicago candidly described one
instance in 1994 of how Blacks and Jews in a scholarly setting
collaborated in obfuscating the true nature of the historical
relationship. Prof. Austen describes a faculty luncheon at the
University of Chicago Hillel House, where he and Black historian John
Hope Franklin, gave a talk on the American Jewish community in the
nineteenth-century South. His words are re4vealing and instructive:
After the formal presentation, a member of the audience asked a
question about Southern Jewish participation in the debate on slavery.
As I remember it, Franklin replied that he did not know too much about
the subject. I recall very clearly one of the Hillel regulars remarking
that since many of the early Southern Jews were Sephardim who had fled
Spanish and Portuguese persecution, they must have been sympathetic to
the plight of Black slaves.
I remember this statement because it was allowed to pass without
comment, although John Hope Franklin and I (we discussed it afterwards)
were both aware that Sephardi Jews in the New World had been heavily
involved in the African slave trade. Why did two professional
historians in a university setting hesitate to provide our colleagues
with such an important piece of information? I cannot answer for
Franklin but I, as a Jew sitting in a Jewish institution that was
entertaining an African-American guest, felt that pointing out the role
of Jews in the history of Black slavery would, in this context, have
constituted something of a betrayal. I did not want to undermine the
sense of solidarity between the two communities which had been
reinforced by Franklin's very presence, as well as through his
references to our common confrontation with white Gentile Southern
bigots.
Franklin and I, in effect, were condoning a benign historical myth:
that the shared liberal agenda of twentieth-century Blacks and Jews has
a pedigree going back through the entire remembered past. Avodim
hayinu! We, the Jews, had also experienced history on the side of the
enslaved and always cried out in anguish against the oppression of the
enslavers.
For better or worse, it is no longer possible to maintain that this
myth has any but the most abstract bearing on the facts of our
pre-emancipation relationship with Africans and their New World
descendants. Jewish students of Jewish history have known it was untrue
and, over several decades, have produced a significant body of
scholarship detailing the involvement of our ancestors in the Atlantic
slave trade and Pan-American slavery. Until recently, this work
remained buried in scholarly journals, read only by other specialists.
It had never been synthesized in a publication for a non-scholarly
audience. A book of this sort has now appeared, however, written not by
Jews but by an anonymous group of African Americans associated with the
Reverend Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

I thought you didn't like Black folks Hank. Now it seems you
want to set them free of a form of oppression that no longer exists.
By the way, how many Jews were in the governments of those
nations where they supposedly "dominated" the slave trade?
