When Aretha Franklin died, one can only assume that she handpicked the people who would sit on the dais and honor her. I was horrified, but not surprised, that Louis Farrakhan had a seat of honor on that stage. I’m here today to address the elephant in the room. I’m here today to discuss what many people are afraid to discuss for fear of being called a racist. I don’t have that fear because I’ve already been called a racist. When I highlighted people who were pretending to be Jews to spew antisemitism in the Jewface post I wrote for Times of Israel’s blogs, I was called a racist because some of the people named happened to be black or Latino, which was completely irrelevant to my article. I don’t care if you call me a racist because I know that I’m not, as does anyone who knows me.
Today we are going to talk about antisemitism within the black community. It is an epidemic and it has to be addressed. A major source of this antisemitism epidemic in this particular community lies mainly at the feet of one man, Louis Farrakhan. Also on the dais at the Queen of Soul’s memorial service were Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Bill Clinton. None of these people can be called Trump supporters, so when people attempt to paint Farrakhan as a right-winger, they are simply being dishonest. As an aside, but as another sign of this very serious problem, Jesse and Al have had their own antisemitism controversies.

This is like “watching your mother in law drive your new Cadillac off a cliff”, so to speak (although, personally I adored my MIL). I would wish that I could desire the best for both communities but I confess to wanting to see them at each other’s throats for a while first, since both communities voting Democrat for 50 years have pretty much gotten us here.
“When Aretha Franklin died, one can only assume that she handpicked the people who would sit on the dais and honor her.”
That’s a dumb assumption.

Fascinating article by an author I had not read before, and the links in it are fascinating, too. Thanks for posting this!
