Black-on-Jewish Violence in the U.S.A.

I think we’re on the same page...

I don’t believe the State should do the culling, though.

Exodus 22:2
“If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;

This is an excellent, well-written article on a subject that the MSM will very seldom get into: black antisemitism in the US. According to studies conducted by the left-leaning B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League (but not well publicized by them, probably because of some irrational fear of retaliation), American blacks are three to four times as likely to harbor antisemitic feelings than are American whites. Some of this may be related to the fact that blacks who migrated from the rural South to the urban North in the twentieth century often settled in Jewish or recently Jewish neighborhoods in their new cities, so that Jews became convenient nearby targets for their lashing out at whites.

In 1935, the Harlem riots destroyed hundreds of stores and began the process of pushing Jews out of the neighborhood. Crucial to that atmosphere of hate was Sufi Abdul Hamid, a Muslim convert, who was dubbed, “The Black Hitler.” From his stepladder on 125th Street, Hamid vowed to pursue, “An open bloody war against the Jews who are much worse than all other whites."

Wow, I had now idea regarding that bit of history. From everything I thought I knew, that period in Harlem was kind of peaceful and the black community there was flourishing in the arts and culture; it was called the "Harlem Renaissance."

Satan always uses the weak minds to do his bidding.

[justiceseeker93]

At least it rhymes.

Not quite. Wouldn't even give the ignoramus who wrote it that much credit. He also needs a brush-up lesson in history. Hitler's reign lasted only a bit more than twelve years (January 1933 to April 1945).

[Wurlitzer]

Ironic that for many American Jews, those who they tend to support, even to the detriment of the country, are the ones who will turn on them at a moment’s notice.

Blacks and Democrats have historically received a disproportionate amount of support from American Jews yet in return they get screwed.

Maybe it is time for American Jews who, in all other areas seem to be highly intelligent, recognize that their real friends are Conservatives and Christians.

The KWAT (Klan With A Tan) will never be supportive of the Jewish community.

Harlem was a very ritzy, upscale area at one time. I think at the beginning of the 20th century it was high class. Like many metropolitan inner cities it is an empty shell of it's one time greatness. Look at Detroit for example: From Boom 1950, to Bust 1967. Somehow, seeing grand and opulent, post-Victorian homes either burned out and gutted is a very painful sight.

[MrB]

They are liberals.
Liberalism is simply the political expression of Humanism.
Humanism is inherently anti-Christian.

Liberals will support leftists, regardless of personal detriment.

[uncbob]

Biggest threat to this country and the cause of its decline is the WHITE LIBERAL

They caused all this

[dervish]

Plenty of Muslims in that area of Brooklyn.

Black + Muslim equals double the grievances and Jew hatred.

[dennisw]

Mo’ black racism. No surprise here from the biggest racists in America right now. 50-70 years ago whites were racist and had segregation. Now blacks are the racist, aggressive, murderous, raping parties and whites wish they could go back to segregation. I’ll bet the white girls who were raped wish we were back in those segregation days and same for the white guys who get raped in prison by beefed up bulked up black convicts

[HiTech RedNeck]

What did Jews ever do to them? As far as I can tell, the Jewish “fault” is, by doing well in the world as is their tendency — given their bent to learning and enterprise — to make blacks envious. Jews are the anti-bums, in a way.

[Carriage Hill]

I agree that the states shouldn’t do the *culling of the herd*. Neither should the FedGov. A *supervised private contractor star chamber* could, possibly. But supervised by whom, is the question. Special courts? Civilian or Military courts? Or a combination? Brrrrrr; we’re getting into some seriously unfamiliar and potentially messy territory now, but it needs doing, IMO, if American Society is to be saved and preserved.

[Eleutheria5]

Also an appalling ignorance of history, mistakenly believing that Jewish suffering and persecution was limited to the Holocaust, when in fact that was merely the most severe episode of such in several millenia of persecution and suffering. Also, Julius Lester can’t have been over 40 at the time he wrote that poem, and he claimed to have lived and suffered for more than 400 years. Interesting that he later converted.

[sheik yerbouty]

As I recall, Lester said atthe time :”We have a right to name our oppressor.” Well Mr. Lester, so do we! Quid pro quo..

[rmlew]

Frontpage Magazine is down. I suspect that the Black supremacists, Muslims, anarchists, or communits have finally decided to silence them.

Beginning in the late 19th century, and as late as the 1920s, one of the largest Jewish concentrations in the world. But behind the lower east side. Like Maxwell St and Lawndale, even Obama's south side neighborhood (don't quote me, I don't know exactly where the Iraqi guy got him his house) on the south side of Chicago. A nice quote from the JVL

On the West Side, in a district bounded by Sixteenth Street on the South and Polk Street on the north and the Chicago river and Halsted street on the east and west, one can walk the streets for blocks and see none but Semitic features and hear nothing but the Hebrew patois of Russian Poland. In this restricted boundary, in narrow streets, ill-ventilated tenements and rickety cottages, there is a population of from 15,000 to 16,000 Russian Jews. Every Jew in this quarter who can speak a word of English is engaged in business of some sort. The favorite occupation, probably on account of the small capital required, is fruit and vegetable peddling. Here, also is the home of the Jewish street merchant, the rag and junk peddler, and the "glass pudding" man. The principal streets in the quarter are lined with stores of every description. Trades, with which Jews are not usually associated, such as saloonkeeping, shaving and hair cutting, and blacksmithing, have their representatives and Hebrew signs. In a narrow street a private school is in full blast. In the front basement room of a small cottage forty small boys all with hats on, sit crowded into a space 10 × 10 feet in size, presided over by a stout middle-aged man with a long, curling, matted beard, who also retains his hat, a battered rusty derby of ancient style. All the old or middle-aged men in the quarter affect this peculiar headgear.… The younger generation of men are more progressive and having been born in this country are patriotic and want to be known as Americans and not Russians.… The commercial life of this district seems to be uncommonly keen. Everyone is looking for a bargain and everyone has something to sell. The home life seems to be full of content and easygoing unconcern for what the outside world thinks.… (Chicago Tribune, July 19, 1891).

That was 1891. Today it's a free fire zone. Progress for the race hustlers, I guess. No comfort for the bereaved.

I suspect well under 40 at the time, an “activist”, but won’t bother to look his age up. All kinds of action at the time. I don’t disagree with your assessment, if he wanted be dead back in the day it’s best we didn’t meat, maybe I shouldn’t have posted his poem. But His thought at the time, relevant to the topic. Hope he’s changed.

[Eleutheria5]

He converted to Judaism. He’s now a Jew-boy with a yarmulke on his head. That’s certainly evidence of change. I have to eat breakfast right now, but I think I might google him later. Thank you for posting that poem.

Born on January 27, 1939, in St. Louis, Missouri, Julius Lester is the son of Rev. W.D. Lester, a Methodist minister, and Julia (Smith) Lester. The family moved to Kansas City, Kansas in 1941, and to Nashville, Tennessee,in 1952. In 1960 he received his BA from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee with a major in English and minors in Art and Spanish.[2]
In 1961 he moved to New York City where he married Joan Steinau. They had two children, Jody Simone (1965) and Malcolm Coltrane (1967). The couple divorced in 1970. Malcolm Lester coaches lacrosse and teaches English at St. Albans School in Washington DC.[3]

So in 1968 he was 28 or 29.

.....

In 1982, Lester converted to Judaism. At the age of seven, he had learned that his maternal great-grandfather was a German Jew, Aldolph Altschul, who had lived in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where, every summer, Lester visited his grandmother, one of Adolph’s daughters.[citation needed] Lester recounts the story of his spiritual odyssey to Judaism in his book Lovesong. From 1988 to 1991, he was one of the cantors for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services at Congregation B’nai Israel, in Northampton, Mass.[citation needed] In 1992 he became lay leader of Beth El Synagogue in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, until resigning in 2006.[citation needed]

This biographical section of an article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (January 2011)
Since 1968 Lester has written 43 books: 8 nonfiction, 30 children’s books, one book of poetry and photographs (with David Gahr), and three adult novels. His very first book was an instructional book on how to play the 12-string guitar, co-authored with Pete Seeger. Among the awards his books have received are the Newbery Honor, Boston-Globe Horn Book Award, Coretta Scott King Award, National Book Award finalist, ALA Notable Book, National Jewish Book Award finalist, National Book Critics Circle Honor Book, and the New York Times Outstanding Book Award. His books have been translated into 10 languages.[citation needed]

So in 1982, 14 years after reading Hey, Jew Boy! on WBAI, when he converted, he was about 43. Quite an odd-issey.
