Blacks and Jews have been involved in a re-evaluation of
their current and historical relationship. Events of the past several months
have raised both tensions and the level of rhetoric coming from all sides. The
Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews is a historical accounting
of the part of the relationship that has been ignored by both Blacks and Jews.
Most people are not even aware of the extensive record of encounters between the
two groups prior to the 20th century. The
Honorable Louis Farrakhan referred to this well-documented history in 1984
and was immediately labeled an "anti-Semite." Merely questioning the
belief that Jews were co-sufferers in the Black slave experience draws angry
rebukes from Jews of all stripes. The book in question presents indisputable
historical data from census records, wills, Jewish historians and scholars,
rabbinical sermons, port records, court records, runaway slave notices, slave
sale advertisements, etc., which forces all sides to grapple with the long-held
mythology that Black people always found a friend in the Jews.
Some Jews and their dutiful negros have hired the services of Dr.
Harold Brackman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in an effort to
preserve the comfortable mythology which has obscured the actual historical
record. But unbeknownst to them, Dr. Brackman's 1977 unpublished Ph.D.
dissertation, entitled The Ebb and Flow of Conflict, goes far beyond The
Secret Relationship in its claims of Jewish conspiracy in the Biblical
origin of White supremacy. He clearly states that Jewish Talmudic scholars
invented the Hamitic Myth which, through the story of Noah, everlastingly
assigned to the African the role of slave and divinely cursed servant of White
people. According to Dr.
Tony Martin's book,
The
Jewish Onslaught,
the Jewish invention of the Hamitic Myth "provided the moral pretext upon
which the entire trade grew and flourished."
"There is no denying," said Brackman of the story of Noah, "that
the Babylonian Talmud was the first source to read a Negrophobic content
into the episode..." Brackman pointed out further that two third century
Jewish "Sages" provided homosexual embellishments for the Biblical
story as well.
This "curse" was the absolute basis for the Europeans' choice of
dark-skinned Africans for chattel slavery. Many denominations of Christianity,
Islam and Judaism believe it and teach it to this very moment! Southern
plantation owners attacked the Abolitionists with it; its teaching was the
foundation of the slaves' permitted religion; Black inferiority is based on it;
the Ku Klux Klan relies on it; even the Mormons officially taught it until 1978.
When the Jews invented it and promoted it to the world they sentenced the Black
Race to a holocaust the likes of which no people have ever suffered. "Hate
teaching" will forever be defined by this wicked belief system brought to
us in the Jewish Holy Talmud via Harold Brackman.
The critics curiously use a Harvard English teacher, Henry
Louis Gates, to offer historical clarity. Gates exhibits no evidence
that he even read the book in his oft-quoted NY Times opinion. His
willingness to make asinine historical claims with the glaring absence of
support from reputable Black or Jewish historians proves Adam Clayton Powell's
axiom: "Harvard has ruined more negroes than bad whiskey."
Overwhelming Evidence
The history that the old "Black-Jewish Coalition" clumsily avoids is
the entire three century history of Jewish presence in South America and the
Caribbean. But other highly acclaimed Jewish scholars have not been so blind:
"Besides their important position in the sugar industry and in tax farming,
they dominated the slave trade. From 1636 to 1645 a total of 23,163 Negro slaves
arrived from Africa and were sold for 6,714,423 florins. 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."
Given the concise statements in the Jewish historical record, of which the
"Black/Jewish Coalition" is totally ignorant, how can it be taken
seriously in the present debate? (For even more evidence see the Facts
and Quotes Section)
Jews and Slavery in the Old South
The Jewish critics prefer to focus on the history of slavery in America while
ignoring our kidnapped African family in other parts of the Western Hemisphere.
This attempt to focus the debate is designed to limit our historical inquiry and
to suggest that we Blacks are to care only about our Black family within
America's political boundaries. This view also conveniently limits the
consideration of evidence of direct Jewish involvement as whip-wielders in the
slave trade which is so abundant in the southern part of the Western Hemisphere.
By the time of the Jewish migration into what is now the United States, Jews
were less involved in the direct trade but remained significant beneficiaries by
their involvement in the plantation economy.
Jews in the South were of the merchant class, according to a Jewish historian,
having developed "a separate and distinctive accommodation to the
plantation economy." The Southern planters depended upon these merchants to
move their produce to market as well as for a source of supplies and financing.
Jews had become commission merchants, brokers, auctioneers, cotton wholesalers,
slave clothing dealers, and peddlers, keeping the slave economy oiled with
money, markets and supplies.
It is no mystery why the Jews were absent from representation in the ranks of
the Abolitionists. The American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in their
report of 1853 expressed their frustration at the lack of Jews:
"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."
One study by Ira Rosenwaike published by the American Jewish
Historical Society has shown that 75% of the Jews of the South owned Black
slaves while 36% of the White population owned slaves.
Ask the Jewish critics to name one (just one) prominent Colonial American Jew who
did not own slaves. He will have the same difficulty as the Anti-Defamation
League of the B'nai B'rith had in their 1976 pamphlet entitled,
American
Jews: Their Story.
The ADL lists 13 pioneers of the American Jewish community - 10 of whom have
been definitively linked to the slave trade. Some Jewish scholars of today, such
as Jacob
Rader Marcus, chart the wealth and prestige of their ancestors by the number
of Black slaves they possessed. The point that the "Coalition" eludes
is the utter failure of Judaism to control this oppressive impulse on the part
of these Jews. As Rabbi Bertram Korn, the foremost scholar of nineteenth
century Jewish history, has written: "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."
When Rabbi David Einhorn of Civil War era Baltimore, a true Jewish friend
of Black people stood up for the humanity of the Black Man using the holy
principles of Judaism from the Torah, his words were brilliant:
"America of the future will not rest on slave chains or belittling its
adopted citizens. It will also give up its disinterestedness in the fate of
other peoples of the world....[T]he next battles will leave a real blood bath,
but slavery will be drowned in that bath."
Alas, his own congregation physically expelled him from his position as rabbi
and ultimately from the city. They opted, as most Jews did, to accept the
"Judaism" of the most prominent rabbi of the time Morris J. 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."
The historical record is formidable and well-represented in The Secret
Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Volume One. Within 334 pages there are
1,275 footnotes containing multiple references for the reader to examine. The
irrefutable record of Jewish historical compliance with Black oppression is no
longer a "secret." The debate has surely changed.
The Washington Post has confirmed the accuracy of The Secret
Relationship while exposing the ignorance of its media critics. University
of Chicago African Studies professor and Jew Ralph A. Austen has written
in Tikkun Magazine that the "substantive content...seems fairly
accurate." Furthermore he says, "The authors of The Secret
Relationship underestimate the structural importance of the Jews in the
early stages of the New World slave trade." The Jewish Community, negro
followers, Harold Brackman and Henry Louis Gates might do well to investigate
that amazing assertion of this Jewish historian.
Jewish Racism
But what of the continuing Jewish racism that elicits no Jewish response at all.
No letters warning of some ominous trend. The African
United Front of Los Angeles raised many of these issues in a recent Final
Call article:
·Michael Levin of City College of New York, Vincent Sarvich of the University
of California at Berkeley and Richard Hernstein at Harvard are among the most
prominent Jewish scientists and scholars who maintain that Black people are
intellectually deficient. Hernstein's book Bell Curve harkens back to
some plantation philosophy claiming that Blacks are intellectually inferior to
Whites. Other Jews, including Howard B. Abikoff of the Long Island Jewish
Medical Center, Rachel Klein of the Long Island Medical Center and Columbia
University, and Gail Wasserman, in the Department of Child Psychiatry at
Columbia, are engaged in research which has the potential to link genetics to
violence in inner city Black and Latino children. Where is the outrage,
Coalition? Where are the calls for repudiation?
·Journalists like Jeff Greenfield, Norman Podhoretz, Roger Rosenblatt and other
Jews have besmirched the Black image in news shows or on the printed page.
Jewish producers in Hollywood like Norman Lear, Mort Lochman and Ed Weinberger
continually produce degrading television sitcoms, like Sugar Hill,
produced by Armyan Berstein, Tom Rosenberg and Mark Abraham. These portrayals
can only be compared to Julius Streicker's degradation of Jews in Die Sturmer
in Nazi Germany.
·The San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner, the Los
Angeles Times and numerous other newspapers have documented the fact that
for decades the ADL ran a private nationwide spy network - "a systematic,
long-term, professionally organized political espionage operation complete with
informers, infiltrators, money laundering, code names, wiretapping and secret
meetings." Newspapers have revealed that among the 950 organizations and
10,000 individuals that the ADL prepared files on were many Black groups,
including the NAACP!
There are many issues of varying degrees of significance that must also be
raised to clear the air:
For thirty years Israel has maintained strong economic,
military, nuclear, scientific, academic, energy, tourist, cultural, sports,
transportation, agricultural and intelligence ties with South Africa - and
thereby prolonged Black oppression there. Jews were the only group in this
country who arrogantly threatened to protest the visit of revered African
National Congress Chairman and now President Nelson Mandela to the United States
in 1990. They have labeled Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu
"anti-Semites" while the 110,000 Jewish South Africans are, in fact,
the richest single community in the world.
The late Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan asserted that the quality of
American military forces had deteriorated because they were composed of Blacks
"who have low intelligence and low education." He urged America to
ensure that "fresh blood and better brains go to their forces." He is
a hero in Israel.
Jewish talk show host Howard Stern was quoted in the November 1st issue of Time
magazine as stating that, "they didn't beat this idiot (Rodney King)
enough." In March, he played Ku Klux Klan songs on his broadcast and used
the term "nigger" 55 times in 10 minutes. He offered the term
"porch monkey" and "yard ape" as labels for Blacks.
Furthermore, during the week of March 7, 1994, Jewish comedian Jackie Mason was
quoted by news broadcasts as having said: "The susceptibility to violence
happens to be more among Blacks than whites - a hundred times more."
In 1991, Judge Joyce A. Karlin sentenced Korean merchant Soon Ja Du to five
years of probation, 400 hours of community service and a fine of five hundred
dollars for killing Black teenager Latasha Harlins. Judge Stanley M. Weisberg
transferred the Rodney King case to Simi Valley and thereby virtually assured an
unfair trial for the Black victim. Superior Court Judge Roosevelt I. Dorn, a
Black jurist who had been hand-picked to hear the case of three men charged with
beating Reginald Denny during the early hours of the L.A. Civil unrest, was
removed from the case by District Attorney Ira Reiner. Karlin, Weisberg and
Reiner are all Jews. Jewish leaders did not repudiate them for their
"racism" or "unfairness;" there were no newspaper
advertisements taken out to condemn them, nor were their names dragged before
congress to be censured.
If the Jewish Community has a longstanding interest in providing accurate
information about history, culture and traditions of the Jewish community, as
some have claimed, maybe they should commence with one or more of the above.
Black educators need not fear cheap smear campaigns by long-time racists. Our
history is our responsibility, and we have no right to compromise with truth or
the instruction of our children. What they teach Jewish children is their
business.
