Black American racism, ingratitude and betrayal
By Jack Engelhard
No gratitude was expected -- but neither was scorn, contempt, derision and backstabbing.Protesters have been marching with signs equating the “suffering” of blacks with the “suffering” of “Palestinians.”
How Israel got into the picture, six thousand miles away, nobody knows. Reggie Bush ought to know. The football star was up there with the rest of them denouncing the police and while he was at it, denouncing Israel. Maybe someone ought to inform this millionaire athlete that, going back to the 1960s, Jews were front and center for the Civil Rights movement.
They marched with Martin Luther King Jr. The first name (among many) that comes to mind is Rabbi Abraham Heschel.
Many risked their lives and some even lost their lives for the sake of equality. Two (among many) come to mind. Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner.
These Jewish Civil Rights activists were murdered by the KKK near Philadelphia, Mississippi for their participation in the Freedom Summer of 1964.

Fifty years ago two Jewish young men were murdered by the KKK while campaigning for black civil rights in the South.
This is the thanks for all that sacrifice-- and please, Reggie, name your “Palestinians” who risked their lives for Civil Rights.
Likewise, I also marched so that Blacks can share with Whites equality and harmony. I expected no gratitude. I did it in the name of justice. I would do it again.
But right now I feel like a sucker, hoodwinked, sucker-punched and duped.
I just said, no gratitude expected -- but scorn, contempt, derision and backstabbing, this I did not expect.
Fortunately we can count on the silent majority of African Americans who know that we are brothers. They have no time for prejudice.
So I know that I was part of an idealistic generation that believed “we shall overcome” – and we did. To a large extent we did overcome. We succeeded. But only to find one set of prejudices shifted and parlayed onto another set of prejudices, the onus placed squarely and with a vengeance upon the usual suspects.
I cannot help but find myself depressed and disillusioned. Apparently people will always need someone else to accuse, however false or baseless the accusation.
Attacks against Israel on charges of racism, from the likes of Reggie Bush, Alice Walker et al, are particularly obnoxious considering the risky airlift named Operation Moses, which rescued some 8,000 Ethiopian Jews from Sudan. They were brought to Israel in 1984 to join a small Family that is big enough for everybody.
Israel is by far the most inclusive society in the entire region.
But the facts, the truth will never stop the hucksters and the multitudes that heed them. False prophets are playing with our world.
Into the teeth of all that promise of the 1960s, in some ways we are worse off than ever before. My generation’s Martin Luther King is this generation’s Al Sharpton. The world’s biggest liar, a punk named Mahmoud Abbas, is greeted around the world as if he were Winston Churchill. Shakedown artists seem to have the final word.
Banners demanding Boycott have replaced yesteryear’s banners entreating Love.
The music never died, but so many high hopes have been dashed and somewhere Martin Luther King’s Dream remains a pipe dream.

The History of Black Anti-Semitism in America
Anti-Semitism has had a long history among African Americans. In the 1920s, for instance, the “buy-black” campaign of the black-nationalist leader Marcus Garvey was explicitly targeted against Jews, and Garvey later spoke admiringly of Adolf Hitler.
In February 1948 the black writer James Baldwin acknowledged how widespread anti-Semitism was in his community, writing: “Georgia has the Negro and Harlem has the Jew.”
