This would have been a good article if Ms. Weiss had resisted the temptation to go off chasing rabbits. Yes, there are people who hate Jews and, yes, many of them are black, thanks to the Black Muslim movement and the fact that many slaves were Muslims who hated Jews and their hatred was passed on to their descendants. "White supremacy," which is essentially a media invention, is not synonymous with "anti-Semitic," which is a misleading term since Arabs are also Semites. In fact, the South was full of Jews - many of whom were slave owners and slave traders - and Southerners held no animosity toward Jews until Leo Frank allegedly killed Mary Phagan and rich Northern Jews mounted a campaign to get him off (and founded the ADL as a result.) One reason blacks have been going after Asians is because Asian shopkeepers, particularly Koreans, decided to exploit black communities for financial gain. By the way, I've spent time in Pittsburgh and have known a lot of people from there. Yes, it has a reputation because of US Steel but those plants are long gone and the air there is clean.
Wrong. The word has NEVER, EVER meant anything but Jews. It was invented by a German philosopher precisely to describe Jew-hatred in clinical terms. At its root, it has always meant hatred of Jews. "Arabs are also Semites" is simply not correct. "Semite" is not and has never been a synonym for Middle Eastern or Levantine.

You’re not doing a very good job of hiding your anti Semitism....
"Arabs are also Semites"
