The Disturbing Rise of Anti-Semitism Among Black CelebsAnti-Semitism among Black Americans is certainly “disturbing” but it is not news and thus isn’t “rising.” Perhaps it is becoming more overt.
Jesse Jackson famously called Jews “Hymies” and New York “Hymietown” in 1984, some 36 years ago. Louis Farrakhan Sr. has been bad mouthing Jews more-or-less forever. And Al Sharpton was a cheerleader for the Crown Heights anti-Semitic riots in 1991.
I think we have to take it as a given that Jews aren’t popular with substantial segments of the Black community. The referenced celebrities are merely reflecting widely held attitudes.
