We seem to have an antisemite problem here.

And I'm not talking about criticisms of Israel. Straight up white supremacist and conspiracy BS going on.

Always been the case. Nothing new. People just feel slightly more emboldened lately to publicly agree especially because Kanye made it a hot topic with his dumb remarks.
Always been criticism of Jewish financial cartels and this causes hatred and resentment. I think that the Nazis had the same criticism of Jews.

@Ferise1 So what alot of Jews have influence in the area of finance and media.
Alot of Asians own the biggest car manufacturers.
Alot of white people control American politics.
So what? Alot of Arab countries determine oil markets.
Everyone has something that their community kind of gravitates to and builds networks around.
Are people jealous of Jews?

@REMsleep Thank you for making that distinction. I think some envy must exist between blacks and Jews. The most hateful antisemitic remarks I get are from African-Americans.

@Human1000 Doubtful. I am African American and in my entire life in my community and in my family Jews are hardly ever meantioned. My mom even worked in her teen years at the JCC and had only good things to say.

Its a non topic. But when I meet people from places such as NYC or Jersey or places where Jews have alot of influence and visible numbers I have heard some of these things about the financial control and such and how some of the Jewish business people treat others. Thats the main negative thing that I've ever heard.

I grew up Christian in the South the only things we knew about Jews was that they are God's choosen people. The only time Jew was meantioned was in the context of religion at church and it was in a good way.

Its also true that many high level people in African American music from the very beginning have always been Jewish. They invested in and sometimes took advantage of African Americans in the music industry for years and yes I have seen much of this topic in documentaries, movies about the jazz greats or rap pioneers, black music labels. Often a Jewish executive would make a record when others would not but often the deal would sour. So there definitely is some context to that. I believe that Kanye was trying to allude to this also. ( not that I support him because I don't)

Blacks have no jealousy towards Jews. You can believe that.
