I understand what he means. It’s not a slur to say many Jews have connections. I’m pretty sure he means business and career connections, and it’s true. Nothing wrong with it.
It’s a positive thing, based on a certain type of lifestyle.
That’s how much of the country was run for thr first few decades after the industrial revolution.
Who you knew could make a dramatic difference in how easy it would be to achieve and maintain a high standard of living. In many cases, it’s still that way with various ethnic groups, who become an extention of the nuclear family.
I know plenty of Jews that don’t have connections. I have a friend who’s Jewish now who hasn’t had a decent job in 20 years.
He’s right insofar as displaced Africans were completely cut off from their culture due to slavery and the sugar industry in earlier centuries. Human beings are about 10% meat and 90% stuff you learned from your parents. They were cut off and made it up as they went along, infusing prison culture and communism into their ethos along the way. So yeah, I sorta agree with the Kanyemeister.
The modern concept is “NETWORKING”. As you point out, there’s nothing wrong with that.
FoxStooge, and the ADL, wouldn’t have jumped on him if he hadn’t turned his back on the plantation, praised Trump, and worn a shirt that said “WHITE LIVES MATTER”.
He could have phrased his thought better, but he’s guileless, and not a politician. G-d Bless him, and damn the libtards!
ADL getting a little too sensitive on this issue. A lot of the Old Testament, e.g. Leviticus, Chronicles, is devoted to recording the genealogy of the Jewish people. In the Old Testament Abraham was 20 generations removed from Adam.

Abraham/Sarah 175/127
Isaac 180 (Ishmael, 137)

Joseph/Levi 110/137

Joshua 110
The 12 sons of Joshua (Israel) each founded a tribe. Their names are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. The book of Numbers describes how many were in each tribe, and the cities they were allocated.

The Jews were defeated and captured by the Babylonians in about 590 BC, and only regained a homeland in 1949!
The comprehensive record is one of the most amazing achievements of humanity. The record becomes more precise at the time of David, Samuel, and Saul about 900 BC - before the foundation of the Greek and Roman civilizations. The cohesiveness of the Jewish people is indisputable, and something to be admired, in a society where many youths don’t know who their father is.
Can’t the same thing be said about the Italians or Irish? I wonder why the English and Germans did not follow the same community supports?
