The Socialism of Fools: Antisemitism and Malcolm X, Derrick Bell, and Louis Farrakhan

When Malcolm X was asked whether the Black Muslims are anti-Semitic, he replied: “Many Jews have guilt feelings when people talk about ‘exploitation.’ This is because they know that they control 90 percent of the businesses in black communities, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And they benefit more from black buying power than blacks do from other parts of the white community. So they feel guilty about it.” He also complained that Jews can be found on the boards of such organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but, he continued, “the same Jews won’t let you become president of B’nai B’rith, or any of their other organizations.” Although Malcolm X denied that his organization is anti-Semitic, his comments left many wondering if that is genuinely true. <a href="https://comrademorlock.medium.com/the-socialism-of-fools-antisemitism-and-malcolm-x-derrick-bell-and-louis-farrakhan-3fc378c316c9">Visit Now</a>
