"But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us, selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables. And they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores."
Quote from Pabst:
....but the truth is blacks can't stand Jews You're like the LAST person in America who doesn't know it. Jews complain BITTERLY that they were on the cutting edge of the civil rights movement and are yet hated. Two reasons. Before the Koreans and Arabs, most ghetto businesses were run by Jews. Simple reason. The old Jewish ghettos are the neighborhoods that turned black. Jews moved on up and blacks moved on in. So many Jews kept their little stores as the area became black and commuted home each night to the 'burbs. Blacks have always been resentful of the non-Blacks who they feel "exploit" them. Instead of being grateful that someone actually provides goods to them they feel "ripped off." So a lot of prejudice started there. Secondly blacks in a primitive Christian way look at Jews as "Christ killers." The whole rapture thing isn't yet a part of black church folk-lore.
