- Just about every year on the eve of the national
holiday of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, the mainstream media in
the United States usually puts forth numerous articles about the large
Jewish involvement with Dr. King and the equally large Jewish
involvement with the Black American Civil Rights movement in general.
Not surprisingly, the mainstream media's description of this phenomena
is seen through rose-colored glasses. Jewish influence in Black
American affairs is portrayed as overwhelmingly selfless, altruistic,
charitable and humane. But is this really true? Let's take a
look.
-
-
- The Nation of Islam, a Black religious group,
published a very important study of Jewish involvement with the Black
slave trade. Entitled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews
(SRBBJ), it is a well documented and well argued book, and the authors
attempt to make this clear from the very beginning: "The information
contained herein has been compiled primarily from Jewish historical
literature. Every effort has been made to present evidence from the
most respected of the Jewish authorities and whose works appear in
established historical journals or are published by authoritative
Jewish publishing houses." The Black American expert on the slave
trade, Dr. Tony Martin, has endorsed the book, as he has made it
assigned reading in his courses. I have investigated at least some of
the sources and they do indeed check out.

-
- In the book's "Introduction," we read: "Deep within
the recesses of the Jewish historical record is the irrefutable
evidence that the most prominent of the Jewish pilgrim fathers used
kidnapped Black Africans disproportionately more than any other ethnic
or religious group in New World history and participated in every
aspect of the international slave trade." Further on it is written:
"Most have always assumed that the relationship between Blacks and
Jews has been mutually supportive, friendly and fruitful--two
suffering people bonding to overcome hatred and bigotry to achieve
success. But history tells an altogether different story."
-
-
- Not surprisingly, Jewish-Zionist groups, and those
allied with them, have attempted to blacken the book's reputation.
Unable to refute its thesis, they resort to smear tactics. But Black
Americans would do well to heed SRBBJ's advice. The relationship
between Blacks and Jews they write, "is a relationship that needs
further analysis...Hidden and misunderstood, it is indeed time to
reopen the files and reconsider, The Secret Relationship Between
Blacks and Jews."

- Black American intellectual Harold Cruse and
California psychology professor Kevin MacDonald have also chosen to
fearlessly scrutinize Jewish involvement in Black affairs. Both have
written some very insightful analyses of the question: Why were Jews
so disproportionately involved in the Black Civil Rights movement? In
their books (Cruse, The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual; MacDonald,
The Culture of Critique) they have noted that many Jews want a
racially integrated society because it provides an adequate
environment for their long term policy of non-assimilation and group
solidarity. Many Jews view white/Euro-American nationalism as their
greatest potential threat, and they promote racial integration
precisely because this presumably dilutes Euro-American power and
lessens the possibility of developing a powerful and cohesive
Euro-American movement that stands in opposition to Jewish
interests.
-
-
- There is evidence that supports their viewpoints. If
the primary motive of the Jewish groups that were involved in the
Black American Civil Rights movement was to promote racial equality
and racial integration, then we should expect they would promote
racial equality and ethnic integration in Israel just as ardently as
they promoted it in the United States. But this is not the case. For
the most part, the Jewish groups that were working to create a
racially integrated society in the US were the same Jewish groups that
were and are ardent supporters of the ethnically segregated, apartheid
state of Israel where racial segregation and Jewish supremacism are
enshrined in law. The Jewish scholar, Uri Davis, has written a book,
the title of which says it all--Israel: An Apartheid State.
-
-
- If there is ever to be harmony between the races in
the United States, then we are all going have to literally lay "all of
the cards on the table." That is to say, Blacks and whites, Jews and
non-Jews, are going to have to discuss these racial problems in an
open, honest and forthright manner, free of name-calling and emotional
outbursts. And the reasons for Jewish involvement in Black affairs has
been, for the most part, surrounded by taboos, and "off-limits" for
discussion. It is about time that Black Americans--and all other
Americans for that matter--break down these taboos and reconsider
Jewish involvement in Black American
affairs.
