i lived in san diego, and all my white frinds were extremly "anti semitic". i dont know if they hated jews, but always were saying things that would be deemed "insensitive"... my white friends they would constanly say things like "don't be a jew, give me some" which means they wanted you to share whatever you had. they always made little comments like that and i would be schocked they were so open with saying such things. i never heard any of my black friends say anything of this nature. i have heard black people say when talking about something "well you know hes a jew", but nothing beyond. now that statement implies something, but no one would verbalize what its suppose to mean.
this is why i cant trust there "data". you never know if someone is lying no matter how scientific the study is. if someone asked you a question about disliking blacks or jews, do you honestly think that someone will admit so, even if it is supposed to be anonymous. hell no. then racist people go and say, look at how high the anti semitism level is in the black community.
[on a side not i suggest you read the book my cornell west and rabbi lerner:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0452275911/qid=1038014099/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/104-6489853-4203118
also, i am not and have not considered myself an "afrocentrist", but there total refusal to investagate any claims of the "afrocentrist" is pathetic. [by the way, when they used the term 'afrocentrism' it always seemed to be conveyed in a negative tone as though its tottaly invaild position to hold such beliefs.] they try to negate any claims by saying there cospiriacie theorist, and that the more education a black person has, the more likely you are to belive such things. maybe educated blacks belive such things because they have studied them, and historical evidence can prove such things.
{on a side note i suggest you search books by CHEIKH ANTA DIOP since he was one of many that has done extensive sceintific research in this field}
i dunno if i liked this book. it seemed a little one sided and somewhat suspicious. sure, 2 white men can do a book on black america and its culture, but i feel they are short sided and dont throughly explore why black people have the views they do. i also feel that the anti semitism was greatly exagerated. because jesse jackson or al sharpton said something that was anti semitic 20 years ago dosent mean they still are, or that all black people are. why dosent he quote some other christian evangelist like phill grham and his numerous anti semitic and anti everything remarks.
this book was ok. i dont think the authors mean any harm, i just dont agree with most of there data, though some of its truthfull.
as a counter, i suggest you read that book by cornell west and rabbi learner, as well as "race matters" by cornell west which is an excellent book.

Then, as D-Day for Operation Musketeer arrived, he was told to change the name of the station to The Voice of Britain. Grasping exactly what was about to happen, the director of the station went on air and warned the Egyptian audience that it would shortly be hearing lies and might experience bombing. It was not to believe the lies and must endure the bombs; these acts were not those of Englishmen who knew Arabia and cared for Arab people. He was promptly arrested by the British military for his trouble. The director was brought back to England and removed from any public platform. (p. 73).
There was also an Arab News Agency, "secretly funded by the British government," (p. 72) which had been "the short-lived and now defunct Balkan News Agency." (p. 72). It had been evacuated to Egypt when the Germans invaded the Balkans. It provided an Arabic language teletype service, charging "very little for its service and frequently gave it away without charge." (p. 73). When England was ready for its pre-emptive strike, "Tom Little and his Cairo team were not in favor of Anthony Eden's military intervention and thought that the British cabinet was misreading Nasser. This stance must have been pretty clear to the Egyptians as Little managed to retain a friendship with Nasser throughout these difficult times." (p. 73). This book is supposed to be about the activities of people like Sefton Delmer, who was added to the Cairo staff "as the Suez crisis worsened in the summer of 1956, the British cabinet's plan for toppling Nasser called for several months of psychological warfare to be followed by military intervention if this did not work." (p. 70). "Delmer and Stevenson's propaganda objective was to equate Nasser with Hitler, which was Eden's view." (p. 70).
Chapter One is called "Indonesia: Prelude to Slaughter." The simple explanation of everything has always been: "As a result of Sukarno's overthrow some 500,000 Indonesians - suspected Communists - were killed." (p. 1). In late 1965, "Britain sent a Foreign Office propaganda specialist with 100,000 pounds `to do anything I could to get rid of Sukarno.'" (p. 1). "By 1959, Britain's investments in Indonesia were in the region of 300 million pounds." (p. 2) The Indonesian Communist Party, "which by 1965 had a membership of over 10 million - the largest Communist Party in the non-Communist world" (p. 3) was supporting Ahmed Sukarno, who had been declared Indonesia's first president in 1945. "And in 1955, Sukarno held the Bandung Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement, increasing suspicion in both Britain and the USA. . . . On May 18, 1958, the Indonesians shot down one of those B-26s and captured the pilot, an American named Allen Pope." (p. 3). If you didn't know anything about "those B-26s," you might be unaware that CIA planes were carrying out bombing missions to aid insurgents, something that the British and Americans now do openly over parts of Iraq, since the last failure of everybody to rebel against a leading enemy, in Iraq. In Indonesia, the biggest support for regime change was in the army. According to BBC correspondent Roland Challis, "So it's not particularly surprising . . . you would get army people saying, look, this old fool is past his time. You know, he's going gaga, he's in bed with 700 wives. And of course, one would get rid of him." (p. 5). At the start of the coup, "Six key army generals were killed," (p. 6) but Soeharto had been at a military hospital visiting his son and set about eliminating those Communists who would be the main obstacle to military rule. Sukarno "attempted to preserve his power and to prevent an all-out bloodbath," (p. 8) but the slaughter seemed to favor British and American interests. Roland Challis noticed how propaganda "was managing to transfer the whole idea of Communism on to the Chinese minority in Indonesia. It turned into an ethnic thing." (p. 8). In 1990, American investigative journalists revealed that the CIA supplied "as many as 5,000 names of suspected senior members of the PKI . . . In effect it was a hit-list which helped the army in its bloody task of physically eradicating the PKI: US Embassy officials followed the progress by checking off names as reports arrived of individual murders and arrests." (p. 9). This book is mainly about the people who were supposed to make it seem like a good idea at the time.
