“Young black men have a very different experience with law enforcement in this nation than white people, and that’s their impression and experience and we need to be sensitive to that and do all we can to change it,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told his GOP colleagues yesterday
There are many other examples, there iare growing international protest movements happening
Tip of the iceberg.
Blacks still get priced out of apartment complexes. They still have trouble getting loans. They still suffer a two tier justice system.
Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan all pointed this out. No one listened because of the "anti-semetic" charges.
Since Jews are factually overrepresented in many institutions and services that negatively impact blacks, and these black leaders were trying to shame the Jewish community into policing their own (Which never works. You can recognize systemic problems in many things, but never the Jewish community. Even if its true.)

And is criticism of Israel anti-semitism? Is it anti-semetic to point out zionism policies harm Palestinians?
Then why is it anti-semetic to point out majority of landlords in New York City are jewish? And that those same land lords priced out black tenants?
As a politician has done, and been raked over the coals for it:
He’s also back to blaming the displacement of Harlem’s black and Hispanic residents on “greedy Jewish landlords,” in comments that have gained national attention in recent days.
“Harlem was 90% black and Latino,” Lopez-Pierre told the Forward. “And now it is 65% black and Latino. So what we’ve seen is black and Latino people be forced out of their apartments by greedy landlords. Eighty percent of the landlords are Jewish in Harlem.”
But maybe this is a bad example.
So I'll ask an open ended question:
Is all criticism of the jewish community anti-semitism?
Is it anti-semetic to even talk about jewish interests?
As indeed many jews themselves talk about their own interests, as I can post many examples of.
Serious questions, by the way. I can't see a way not to be anti-semetic, if it means pointing out representation in areas that harm blacks makes you anti-semetic, as it most definitely does.
