There are Blacks who still believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that Jews have been a friend to the Black man. Jews, as a group, have a history of brutal repression destructive to the Black race, yet they are considered by many Blacks to be the "best friend" that Black have outside the Black race. Whereas Jews cite their investment in the integrationist civil rights movement as "proof" of their "friendship," many have wondered why, contrarily, Jews are the most vociferous opponents in the white race of all the independently produced leaders and movements in the history of Blacks in America. They endlessly tormented and attempted to destroy the Black labor movement, the Garvey movement, the Boycott movements of the 1930s and 40s, the Black Power movement, the Nation of Islam, including the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X.
Overseas, many of them opposed the movement of Nelson Mandela and helped finance the white South African regime. Today, Jewish organizations and individuals have attempted to destroy the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan through a web of deceit, trickery and lies, with the careful assistance of their bought-and-sold Uncle Toms.
Our aim, in the Blacks and Jews Friendship Series, is to prove all this, by presenting actual, verifiable, historical evidence from their own books and documents designed to counter the erroneous claims that our Jewish oppressors HAVE EVER been the Black man's "friend." Jewish organizations and individuals ought to back off Minister Farrakhan as he attempts to resurrect a people that Jews helped their white brothers to destroy.

The following letter was written to the Jewish owner of an African Black Man called "George." It exemplifies the courage, spirit and dignity of the Black Man as he fought his Jewish oppressor.
Reading, March 2, 1772
Mr. Bernard Gratz, Merchant in Philadelphia
Sir: I took your negroe George, some time ago, home, thinking I might be the better able to sell him, who, after being with me a night, behaved himself in such an insolent manner I immediately remanded back to the jail. About a week since, I put him up for sale at Christopher Witman's tavern, where there was a number of persons who inclined to purchase him. But he protested publickly that he would not be sold, and if anyone should purchase him, he would be the death of him, and words to the like purpose, which deterred the people from bidding. I then sent him back again with directions to the jailer to keep him at hard labour, which he refuses to do, and goes on in such an insolent manner that it is impossible to get a master for him here. I therefore request you'll send for him on sight hereof, or send me a line by Drinkhouse, or the first opportunity, what I shall do with him. He's now almost naked, and if not furnished soon with some clothes, I fear he'll perish. Pray let me hear from [you] and, in the mean time, I remain, with great regard, sir, Your humble servant, George Nagel
P.S. He's now chained and handcuffed on account of his threats.
