Black Americans/ Jewish-Americans

 The attack and the dismantling of DEI programs and related services and initiatives @ UM with major support by Jewish Organizations  and prominent Jewish-American leaders and individuals has created a truly disturbing  situation for Black Americans and Jewish Americans that may not ever be healed soon enough!


Black Americans have been allies of Jewish Americans for centuries in America, the nation’s most historical civil rights organization NAACP invited Jewish Americans to partner with its  founding .

Jewish-Americans have experienced a better life in America because of Black Americans and our advocacy for civil rights for all Americans especially minorities and women 

Black Americans specifically have suffered and experienced incredible acts of discrimination and oppression by being advocates for civil rights for All Americans 

Black Americans historical relationships with Jewish-Americans does not deserve the contempt and disregard for DEI by prominent Jewish groups @ UM nor in litigated matters in our courts.

The Jewish Diaspora is quite diverse with many Black Jews existing and living in America for centuries now

To observe Jewish-Americans supporting Trump’s Anti-DEI policies and Anti-Academic Freedom on our college and university venues is extremely troubling and outrageous 

I welcome a major change in the attitudes and behaviors that exist in Jewish-American venues towards Black Americans the levels and presence of racism and bigotry towards Black Americans is at a level that is unacceptable and will not be ignored, tolerated by Black Americans like myself and millions of Black Americans in America
