That there is animosity from blacks towards Jews is undeniable. I think blacks can be forgiven for thinking that Jews treat them in a patronizing manner. A Jewish woman I once dated routinely referred to blacks as "schwuggies" (SHVOO-geez), a corruption of the Yiddish "schwartz" (black). It was not intended as a term of endearment, although she vociferously - protesteth too much? - denied that it represented bigotry. It isn't just Hollywood that looks to pigeonhole minorities to the point of marginalizing them. There was a National Public Radio bit several weeks ago about the glamour magazines' near-total refusal to put black models on the covers of magazines like Cosmopolitan and Glamour and Vogue. There was a reason for it, of course: magazine sales dipped severely if they did put a black model or actor on the cover, even a "white"-looking black like Halle Berry. But, so much for the willingness of the "liberal" media to fight for justice. However, Rich, hard-ass right-wing conservatives are every bit as adept at the denial game as leftists.
