University Campuses
Are Battlegrounds

p.

•

New York (JTA) — Uni-
versity campuses are the
new battlegrounds for con-
flicts between blacks and
Jews, proving havens for re-
visionist academicians and
platforms for outside
radicals' views, according to
the author of an upcoming
book on the black-Jewish re-
lationship.
Student-council funds
have paid as much as
$10,000 to host Black
Muslim leader Louis Far-
rakhan and others in "a pa-
rade of racial extremists,"
according to Dr. Murray
Friedman, author of a book
with the working title
African-Americans and
Jews; What Went Wrong, to
be published next fall by the
Free Press.
Dr. Friedman noted that
the current roster of
speakers addressing student
groups across the country
include Dr. Leonard Jeffries,
director of the African-
American studies depart-
ment at City College of New
York; former civil rights ac-
tivist Stokely Carmichael,
who is now known as
Kwame Tare; "neighborhood
rabble-rouser" Al Sharpton;
and "Professor" Griff of the
rap group Public Enemy.

Dr. Friedman also cited
David Levering Lewis, a
black historian who has de-
scribed the black-Jewish re-
lationship, in essays in
historical journals, as "an
apparent rather than real
soul fellowship that was
minimally beneficial to the
Afro- Americans."
He has also written of the
"caginess" of the Jews, who,
through the use of
"intelligence, money and in-
fluence tried to fight anti-
Semitism by remote con-
trol," Dr. Friedman said.
Harold Cruse, now pro-
fessor emeritus of Afro-
American studies at the
University of Michigan, is
"very virulently anti-
Semitic, and has a strong
anti-Israel thrust," Dr.
Friedman said.
He is "the patriarch of the
revisionist movement as it
relates to black-Jewish his-
tory," he said.
Dr. Friedman also noted
that included in the ranks
of black-Jewish revisionists
are a number of "white
Marxists coming from a left-
nationalist perspective."
These campus speakers
and scholars "stir up hatred
for Jews and the State of
Israel and destroy the part-

nership that has existed
between blacks and Jews,"
said Dr. Friedman, who
serves as the American Jew-
ish Committee's Middle
Atlantic States director and
was a vice chair of the
United States Civil Rights
Commission.
"Black intellectuals are
challenging old dogmas and
strategies and some are
creating the emerging overt
bigotry," Dr. Friedman said,
adding that they are "clear-
ly creating additional
strains."
Campuses are particularly
conducive to these messages,
said Dr. Friedman, because
"the black condition had
worsened, and the campus
elements of the black intel-
ligentsia were especially
upset about the de-
teriorating condition in
black America."
Students in particular
"are being targeted for some
of this political and
ideological garbage that is
passed off as scholarly
research," according to Dr.
Friedman. "A central theme
of their argument is that
Israel is an outpost of
Western imperialism in the
Middle East, a counterpart
of Jewish 'exploitation' in
black ghettos."
And campus administra-
tors have, in some cases,
proved to be "apathetic to
racism and bigotry on cam-
pus," Dr. Friedman said,
noting that NOMMO, a
black magazine at the Uni-
versity of California at Los
Angeles early this year
quoted approvingly from
"The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion" and "The Interna-
tional Jew: The World's
Most Foremost Problem,"
originally circulated by
automaker Henry Ford Sr.
The magazine article "was
clearly influenced by revi-
sionist `Afrocentrist'
thought," said Dr. Fried-
man, defining real Semites
as Africans while dismissing
the Jews as "a small group
of European people who
have proclaimed themselves
God's chosen by using an in-
digenous African religion,
Judaism, to justify their
place in the world."
"After months of dawdl-
ing, the administration de-
nounced the magazine and
cut off university funding"
to NOMMO, Dr. Friedman
noted. "I'm critical of cam-
pus authorities and media
who have avoided grappling
with all-out bigotry out of
fear of being called racist."
