The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan told those gathered at Prairie View A&M University to hear him speak on Nov. 9 that Black people must become producers and as students, they should be the leaders in providing service to their people.

Hosted by the members of Students Participating in Transcendent Knowledge (S.P.I.T. Knowledge) and the Nation of Islam Student Association, the arena was filled with students from Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern University, whose students chartered a bus to see the speech.

Nearly 4,000 students filled the William "Billy" Nicks arena, also called the "baby dome" to hear words of wisdom, encouragement and guidance from Minister Farrakhan in his first appearance at the school since December 1988. They sat attentively for nearly two-hours as the Minister in his unique way, gave instruction from the Bible, the Holy Qur'an and history, to prepare the minds of the next generation of Black leaders.

Rabbi Boteach and Reverend Sharpton: A Trip Down New York’s Memory Lane

In his recent commentary titled “Time for

the Jewish Community to End the Sharpton Wars,” the self-proclaimed “America’s Rabbi” Shmuley Boteach of New York calls his friend the Reverend Al Sharpton “dishonorable and

incendiary,” an anti-Semitic “rabble-rouser,” and even charges him with collaborating with “terrorists.” The Reverend Sharpton has travelled to Israel with Rabbi Boteach, broken bread with him at a kosher restaurant, and interceded at his

request with Governor Patterson to try to obtain a pardon for a Jewish murderer. As the rabbi himself might say, “This, you call friendship?”

But that is INDEED what passes today as the “Black–Jewish” relationship. Blacks must comply with incessant Jewish demands for apologies, and the Jews maintain a deliberate amnesia of their own “dishonorable and incendiary” racist past. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan accurately characterized the dysfunctional relationship that Rabbi Boteach remembers so fondly:

“Whenever the Light of Truth has been shone on them, they reach for you [Black leaders] to defend them

against the Truth that uncovers the horror that has been done to us. They have always been successful pitting us against each other thus keeping them from facing the Truth of their real relationship with us.”

And this is precisely what Rabbi Boteach is now trying to do with the Reverend Al Sharp-ton. The substance of Boteach’s poisonous appeal is to urge his Jewish brethren to give Sharpton a mulli-gan—a pardon, or a do-over—for all his “anti-Semitic history.” After all, concludes the rabbi, he’s not like “Louis Farrakhan.” Yes, he did.

Boteach and Shar-pton are both from New York, where that cherished and fabled Black–Jewish relation-ship started—not in the civil rights movement of the 1900s—but way back before Rabbi Boteach would care to remember, back in the 17th century. Like all

Rabbi Boteach and Reverend Sharpton: A Trip Down New York’s Memory Lane

European settlements after Christopher Columbus, New Yorkers were desperate for free labor and so, predictably, they turned to the African, the greatest builder in world history. But FIRST, they turned to Rabbi Boteach’s people, the Jews. Early New Yorkers knew that if they wanted Black Africans, they must consult the Jewish merchants of Brazil, who had monopolized the slave trade for all of the western hemisphere. According to their own words, they needed to contact the “Jobbers and Jews,” who were known to “buy up the slaves for cash” and sell them on credit. Through these Jewish slave merchants New Yorkers hoped to “be adequately supplied with laborers,” and that the slave trade “might be again revived.”

It was 1655 when enslaved Africans started arriving in New York in great numbers, and not coincidentally, that was just one year after Jews first settled in New York; and these Jews just happened to be from Brazil!

The most important Jewish American historian Rabbi Marc Lee Raphael went further in his “incendiary” language than Rev. Sharpton ever did when he wrote that Jews “frequently dominated” the slave trade. He said that in Brazil “Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday,” and throughout the Caribbean “Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade.” So, Rabbi Boteach, this is why early New Yorkers needed a relationship with the “Chosen People.”

In 1717 and 1721, two slave ships owned by Jewish merchant Nathan Simson sailed into the New York harbor with a total of 217 enslaved Africans. Another Jewish historian confirmed that the shipments were “two of the largest slave cargoes to be brought into New York in the first half of the eighteenth century.” So it may have been by Rabbi Boteach’s ancestors that many Blacks, perhaps even Sharpton’s ancestors, came to New York as slave laborers.

By 1743, according to New York tax records, of 422 Jews listed, 2 had seven slaves, 5 had six slaves, 14 had four slaves, 21 had three slaves, 54 had two slaves, 282 had one slave, and only 39 reported none—but they probably hired slaves from the others. There are several adver-tisements reprinted in the book Jews Selling Blacks showing New York Jews actually seeking the return of their runaway slaves! The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Vol. 1 (TSRv1) lists many NEW YORK JEWS who owned and forcibly worked Black human beings—a list that has never been disputed!

Twenty years ago near Manhattan’s Foley Square, 415 graves were uncovered with as many as 20,000 of these forgotten, abused Black human beings. Stacked five deep, their decayed

bones told a chilling tale of violent oppression, starva-tion deaths, chronic infec-tions and unspeakable suffering. Muscles had been ripped from bone, necks had been broken and spines jammed into skulls—all injuries from lives cursed with carrying heavy loads. If they had not perished in infancy, they had lived just long

enough to be worked to death. How many of these 20,000 were enslaved by these 422 Jewish people, we may never know.

Go a few blocks to Wall Street, which became the financial center of the world through slave dealing and cotton trading. The Lehman Brothers had grandiose offices at that prestigious address, but before that they could be found with

many, many other Jewish firms in the cotton plantations of Alabama when slavery was at its peak. They gave loans to white plantation masters to buy Black slaves and expand their slavery operations. Then at harvest time they took the cotton bales to sell on the world markets. One of the Lehman Brothers was actually in charge of ALL cotton production in the state! Think

about that, Rabbi Boteach. That would be like Motown Records or Ebony Magazine setting up

Rabbi Boteach and Reverend Sharpton: A Trip Down New York’s Memory Lane in Nazi Germany and using Jewish concentration camp inmates for labor. And when the Lehmans made all that cotton money in Alabama, they then moved to Wall Street, where a market had been established in 1711 to be a “place where Negroes and Indians could be bought, sold, or hired.”

We now know, through the research in The Secret Relationship, that the Jewish cotton/slavery merchants in the American South had cornered the cotton trade. They laundered this dirty slavery lucre in New York banks, which then financed the expansion of the infamous New York “Needle Trades”—the ubiquitous Jewish-owned sweatshops where women and children turned that cotton into even more profitable clothing for the world market. This is how Rabbi Boteach’s people used the Rev. Sharpton’s people to build their mighty financial infrastructure, making themselves the “Giants in the Land” the Bible speaks of in Numbers 13:33.

Rabbi Boteach’s rab-binical predecessor, Morris Jacob Raphall, delivered a sermon to his delighted Jewish congregation in which he authoritatively asserted that the slave trade and African slavery were perfectly moral and indeed ORDERED BY GOD! It was the most publicized sermon ever delivered by an American Jew up to that

time. “The negro,” he taught, has inferior intellectual powers, and “no man of his race has ever inscribed his name on the Parthenon of human excellence, either mental or moral.” The slave-owning Southern Confederates couldn’t have been happier! They printed and reprinted this divine ruling from the New York-based leader of the “Chosen People.” His New York Jewish congregation did not repudiate and denounce him for this “dishonorable and incendiary” speech—as they do to Rev. Sharpton—they made him the highest-paid clergyman in America!

Rabbi Boteach has never repudiated this hateful Talmudic nonsense, though he continually reminds his readers of all the “crimes” Sharpton has committed against the Jews. And though these alleged crimes are entirely in the form of spoken WORDS they say emerged from the Reverend’s mouth, the REAL

Black–Jewish relationship goes WAY BACK and covers not only Jewish words of pure anti-Black hatred, but incredibly wicked Jewish DEEDS as well—including robbery, enslavement, and murder. Rabbi Boteach is part of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement in New York City. They adhere to the Talmud, which teaches that Jesus—the Christ—is now in hell boiling in excrement for his crimes against Jews. Further, the Chabad school system in Israel refuses to admit Ethiopian Jews because of their skin color.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and some of his two million fellow Jewish New Yorkers, including standouts like the ADL’s Abraham Foxman and former mayor Ed Koch, have made careers of punishing Rev. Sharpton, who has done nothing but stand up for the rights of his people. They obscure the fact that they are all still benefitting from the financial foundation that their ancestors’ DEEDS laid for them (the list of public and private enterprises supported by the Lehman Brothers is astounding). New York Jews were heavily involved in every aspect of this unforgivable behavior, often as leaders. They gave aid and comfort to our enemies, and have proved themselves—by their own historical record—to be our most consistent enemies of all the Caucasians.

Before the “never-forgetting” New York rabbi admonishes our brother and friend Rev. Sharpton, maybe he ought to first “never forget” the role his people played in creating the dire conditions that our people suffer—to this very moment.

New York Slavery Exposed

In 1644 the Dutch West India Company, which ruled New York (known then as New Netherland), determined that “Negroes would accomplish more work for their masters and at a less expense than free servants.” From then on, African lives could be bought for pork, peas, tobacco, furs, pelts and almost anything else of value to these early New Yorkers.

The leasing of Africans was also widely practiced. In 1641 Company Director General Kieft leased a tract of land (on Manhattan Island) “with two Negroes,” for five years at an annual rental of 750 pounds of “well-inspected tobacco.” The terms called for a reduction in payment if one or both of the Africans were to die. In 1644 another Dutchman leased a Black woman, with payment made in food and clothing. The Company paid back-wages to its officials in African slaves and sometimes paid merchants for supplies, in Black lives.

Stuyvesant followed that same policy in paying off a Company debt to the van Rensselaer family by sending a Company slave to their colony of Rensselaerswyck. And on several occasions, he offered to pay for supplies and provisions for the Company’s troop detachment with “parcels of slaves.”

The prices for Black

human lives were arbitrarily set depending on demand. The documented transactions show that in

1626-1647 - the average price was $100 to $150.

1654 - it was $280 1655 - a cargo went for $125 “a head” 1660 - a price listed a range of $90 to $180

depending on age 1663 - an African woman cost $120 1664 - the best price of the lot brought

$240 The British royalty took its cut of the trade in

Black flesh. In 1753 they established a tax on the importation of slaves, the amount based on their ages. If the age was in dispute two Justices of Peace were summoned to assess the age of the Black “item.”

[from the book The Hidden History of New York:

A Guide for Black Folks]

Former TransAfrica leader Ran-dall Robinson viewed the Black economic landscape at the close of the twentieth century:

“We control nothing. For the mainstream, we write books but are not publishers, ap-pear in movies but finance few, graduate from but en-

dow no colleges, vote for but never control the President, buy from but own only one of the Fortune 500 companies, pay taxes but have little say over their use, withstand the propagation of vile media images of ourselves but control few of the machineries for image manufacture, observe the rise of black public figures but, with few exceptions, have little ability to punish or reward those who rise from our midst.”
