For that, Martin would place fault principally on the shoulders of black leaders such as Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson – either for making anti-Semitic statements, inciting anti-Semitism (including violence), or failing to condemn overt anti-Semitism within the black community.

He forgot to include Rev. Wright, Barrak Hussein Obama, and the majority of what passes for Afro-American leadership today. The Reverend MLK represented the authentic Afro-American Christian community, IMHO today's Afro-American "Reverends" are as phony as a $3 bill.

But wasn’t it the A-Rabs who were the slave traders...not the jews?

We have had previous stories on the Daphna Ziman incident on FR before (including a link to a video of her), but it's a good idea to remind people of this story of a typical Jewish liberal getting a "wake-up call."

The Jewish community as a whole has been turning more conservative gradually, and that movement will hopefully be accelerated by the apparent coronation of Barack Obama as the Dem candidate. Look for John McCain, almost by default, to pull in at least 40 percent of the Jewish vote in November.

Earlier this month, at a Los Angeles event for the national African-American fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi, the keynote speaker launched into an anti-Semitic tirade – directed at the fraternity’s guest of honor.

Shameful! That's my fraternity and I hadn't heard anything about this.

Your excellent article is read on this forum by people who are mostly agree with you anyway. Has it reached Mr. Lee, has it reached Kappa Alpha Psi and the WIDE BLACK audience affected by the ORIGINAL Mr. Lee speech? If not, these are words spent in vain. Mr. Lee's words has resonated, and the presence of Jewish people in the audience (who hardly responded) “validated” his speech - while his “apology” is not heard by his intended audience. This is cheap and very common tactic, but the Jewish community seems to be unprepared for it.

Eric Lee is a classless, bigoted jerk. You would think that if this group wanted to honor someone, it could have found a speaker with even a hint of class.
