- 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 Brackman's 1977 unpublished Ph.D. dissertation,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:
-
- ·Lee M. Friedman, a one-time president of the
American Jewish Historical Society, wrote that in Brazil, where most of
the Africans actually went, "the bulk of the slave trade was in the
hands of Jewish settlers."
- ·Marcus Arkin wrote that the Jews of Surinam used
"many thousands" of Black slaves.
- ·Herbert I. Bloom wrote that "the slave trade
was one of the most important Jewish activities here (in Surinam) as elsewhere
in the colonies." He even published a 1707 list of Jewish buyers by
name with the number of Black humans they purchased.
- ·Cecil Roth, writer of 30 books and hundreds of
articles on Jewish history, wrote that the slave revolts in parts of South
America "were largely directed against [Jews] as being the greatest
slave-holders of the region."
- ·"I gather," wrote Jewish scholar Wilfred
Samuels, "that the Jews [of Barbados] made a good deal of their money
by purchasing and hiring out negroes..."
- ·According to the Jewish historians, all Barbadian
Jews owned slaves - even the rabbi had "the enjoyment of his own two
negro attendants."
- ·In Curaçao which was a major slave trading
depot, Isaac and Susan Emmanuel report that "the shipping business
was mainly a Jewish enterprise."
- ·Says yet another Jewish writer of the Jews of
Curaçao, "Almost every Jew bought from one to nine slaves for
his personal use or for eventual resale."
- ·Seymour B. Liebman in his New World Jewry, made
it clear that "[t]he ships were not only owned by Jews, but were manned
by Jewish crews and sailed under the command of Jewish captains."
- ·Moshe Kahan stated bluntly that in 1653-1658,
" Jewish-Marrano merchants were in control of the Spanish and Portuguese
trade, were almost in control of the Levantine trade...were interested
in the Dutch East and West Indian companies, were heavily involved in shipping;
and, most important, had at their disposal large amounts of capital."
- ·In Brazil, where most of our kidnapped ancestors
were sent, Jewish scholar Arnold Wiznitzer is most explicit about Jewish
involvement:
-
- "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 the kidnapped African family in other
parts of the Western Hemisphere. This attempt to focus the debate is designed
to limit the historical inquiry and to suggest that Blacks are to care
only about their 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 Streicher'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.
