Buyers would stop at the farm and say, "Your pelts have quality, Carl, but they lack size." Mulling over this, Piampiano remembered a friendly Indian guide in northern Canada who had boasted of catching rare, big, square-nosed, smooth-haired mink. He wrote to the guide, asking for one of the brutes. Two years later, in 1951, "Big Boy" arrived in Zion and became founding father of a new breed...
Frequently the Jew has been held up by the Negro as a model of hard work and group solidarity. Says Rustin: "Many a black mother will say to her son, 'Look at that Jew. Why don't you study the way he does and get ahead instead of dropping out of school?' " A 1964 study of Negro attitudes by the University of California Survey Research Center indicated that blacks in general were more favorably disposed to Jews than were white gentiles, and more inclined to reject stereotypes of the Jew as "clannish" or "conspiratorial." Sociologist Drake notes this feeling...
...tragedy is that the Jewish community has a history of many creative relationships with blacks. We have shared a great deal. While your grandfather was being whipped in Mississippi, my grandfather was being killed in a pogrom. I may be dead wrong on this, but I sense that blacks say to themselves: "Look, the Jews have gotten it in the neck, too; yet they've been extraordinarily successful in this country.

...another, and I don't think they're really so ready to find scapegoats as to find reasons to blame it on the total American scene. It's an anti-white attitude period. To me, it eventually all goes back to economics. Jewish people say, "Well, I've been discriminated against, I was a second-class citizen and so I'm going to do something about it." But they still continue to practice the same discrimination. You can't even get a job as a dishwasher in certain areas they inhabit...
People who are oppressed want the oppressor off their backs. If he happens to be Italian, somebody's going to say you're anti-Italian. It's ridiculous. It only becomes a charge of anti-Semitism when some person needs a political platform. It's all part of a very definite effort on the part of some people who are trying to keep the black community isolated and fragmented...
