[Verginius Rufus]

A lot of American Jews were active in the civil rights movement. When the three civil rights workers were killed in Mississippi, the two white men were Jews from New York. It's the old maxim of "no good deed goes unpunished." There is already a strong whiff of anti-Semitism in The Autobiography of Malcolm X (Malcolm X, of course, was scornful of the civil rights movement because it sought integration with white society, not rejection of all whites).

Sharpton et al. seem to have fastened on the Trayvon Martin case in part because they mistakenly thought that Zimmerman was Jewish.

Wouldn't be surprised. But the black race hustlers may have been shocked themselves when it turned out that Zimmerman was of part Hispanic ancestry. That doesn't quite fit the template.

My first thought, when I heard of the Zimmerman case and the manufactured uproar...before I saw his photo, or heard that he was Hispanic or any of the details, was that a Jewish guy had shot Trayvon, and that was a main reason for the anger.

I'm CERTAIN the very Jewish sounding name "Zimmerman" played a part in the Leftist black reactionary anger.
