What an ignonrant, disgusting, racist individual! Even if Israel was not, by far, the most chartiable, fair and just society in the Middle East, and was as bad as Walker has been duped into believing, why not publish in Hebrew? Should she “punish” all Hebrew speakers for the crimes she imagines that Isreal has committed? That is racism.

Of course, “The Color Purple” was one of the most disgusting works of “literature” ever published. It is anti-black male, pro-lesbian, and anti-God. It is a blessing to Hebrew readers that they will not be able to read this poorly written filth.

I did not read the book and I didn’t give a crap about the worthless movie.

Aside from her obvious prejudices, I think this is just another chance to get in the media and promote the whitey done blacks wrong theme, which of late has promoted violence and probably isn't done yet. Why not just have an Uncle Tom's Cabin revival while they are at it? It's another inflammatory novel being brandished as fact.

I find that movie hard to watch because it stars Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg.

There are some people whom I just don’t like to see in any role. Rosie O’Donnell detracts from A League Of Their Own, in the same way, in my opinion.

Turnabout is fair play. I refuse to read her work in English because she is a disgusting bigot.

Someone remind me - why do some black hate Jews?

Is it because even though people were literally holding them down Jews bounched back and prospered? Is it because Jews’ work ethic makes them wealty over time? Is it because they’re white?

What have Jews ever done to blacks?

They found that 34% of American blacks harbored antisemitic views, compared to 9% of American whites.

How do all those Jews who fought for civil rights feel now? (two of them are dead and can only spin). Yet the UJA and UJF continue to send millions into the inner cities to fund these savages who hate them. Idiots.

In effect, Rebecca accuses her mother of being a cold, selfish, child-hating feminist, who wanted nothing to do with Rebecca (or, really, with motherhood) while Rebecca was growing up, even less to do with her when Rebecca became pregnant, and then, nothing to do with Rebecca’s son, who is Alice’s only grandchild. According to Rebecca, her mother even cut her out of her will. Rebecca guesses that her “crime” was “daring to question her [mother’s feminist] ideology.”

Anyone who supports the UJA/UJF is a brain dead Jewish leftist. There is no ‘J’ in either organization.

An ode too the odious Alice Walker:
Barbecue, watermelon
Cadillac car
We’re not as dumb
As you think We is!

That is no more prejudicial than her rabid rants!

All those bed sheets could have been a militant black false flag operation. No one can see who’s under the d-mined things,

How do all those Jews who fought for civil rights feel now? (two of them are dead and can only spin). Yet the UJA and UJF continue to send millions into the inner cities to fund these savages who hate them. Idiots.

I wouldn't broadly condemn the Jews who fought for (black) civil rights in up through the early 1960s. Black antisemitism hadn't really been overt then, and there was obvious legally-supported repression of black citizens, particularly in the South, that merited corrective action.

However, it didn't take long after that for black antisemitism to come to the fore. You could possibly say that the inner city riots of the late 1960s, many if not most of which occurred in formerly Jewish neighborhoods with burning and looting of a significant number of Jewish-owned businesses, was when black antisemitism first raised its ugly head. It was followed a few years later by the experimental community control of a NYC school district (Ocean Hill-Brownsville), which led to the firing of (mostly) Jewish teachers, and ultimately a long strike by a majority Jewish teachers' union, characterized by vicious public antisemitic tirades emanating from black "leaders."

As for the Jewish charities supporting black antisemitic causes, it's as much a matter of government control of them as it is their faulty decision making. "Jewish" charities in the US, established originally for the primary purpose of Jews to help fellow Jews, have become "Jewish" in name only. They are largely quasi-government agencies.
