[quote=Anonymous]Black person here.  Keep in mind that this is an anonymous forum, so it's impossible to know whether people are who they say they are.  IRL, I honestly have not heard of any resentment towards Jews by other AAs.

I grew up in the South and did not really know any Jewish people growing up, never learned about the Holocaust in school, and really didn't meet any self-identified Jews until grad school.  My Jewish classmates basically schooled me on a lot of things at that time.  At worst I've possibly detected indifference towards Jews among a segment of AAs (again, particularly in the South) but not outright anti-Semitism, especially among people who grew up as I did in predominantly AA settings where people don't know Jews or know much about their history, and some may see them as just another group of white people.  However, I currently live in a black and Jewish neighborhood in DC where everyone gets along wonderfully.  I like that our kids are growing up learning about each other's cultures, history, holidays, etc.

Also, please keep in mind that the people who post here are not necessarily representative of a community's sentiments towards a particular group of people--opinions on the Internet come with a large selection bias.[/quote]
