that Jews understand
them."
ther signs are not
as encouraging. In
the university stu-
dies, close to 60 percent of
Jews said they had not had
a black dinner guest. More
than 30 percent of Jews said
civil rights progress had
been too speedy. A third said
they would object to sending
their child to a school
which was more than half
black.
In a 1974 Louis Harris
survey, a quarter of blacks
rejected the statement:
"Jews are just as honest as
other businessmen." A
third agreed that "Jews
are more willing than
others to use shady prac-
tices to get what they
want."
Black leaders readily
admit that many blacks
think of Jews mainly in
terms of economic success
— and with it, ascribe to
Jews economic stereotypes.
Mr. Lang of the city's
Human Rights Depart-
ment said that blacks still
joke, half-seriously, that if
you want a good lawyer or
doctor, you should get a
Jewish one.
In Detroit, where Max
Fisher and Al Taubman
are the icons of wealth,
blacks note with envy —
and sometimes with dis-
dain — their religion, Mr.
Anderson said.
The stereotypes run the
other way, too.
When the Jordans, a
black family, moved to

wasn't long before they felt
the sting of racism — from
a Jew.
"When we moved into
the neighborhood, our Jew-
ish neighbor put up a 'For
Sale' sign the next day,"
she said. Mrs. Jordan, a
former worker with the
Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity Commission and a
recent candidate for
Southfield's city council,
tells the story without
resentment.
It took some time, she
says, before her neighbor

recognized that she would
cut her lawn and respect
the street's quiet. The Tor
Sale' sign came down
within a month, and now,
the neighbor gives her
children Christmas
presents.
For Mrs. Jordan and her
husband Larry, the idea of
living near Jews has
always been a plus. Moving
from Detroit, they had the
impression that Jews have
clean neighborhoods, good
schools and keep quiet
streets.
The Jordans' friend,
Nancy Willingham, spent
several decades working as
a housekeeper and nanny
for a Jewish family.
Retired now, she has only
good things to say about
her former employers, who,
she said, treated her like
family.
When the parents went
away for a night, Mrs.
Willingham would bring
their daughter home with
her. Later, she would take
home the granddaughter.
- What bothers these
blacks the most is image:
blacks, they say, come off
in the media as a uniform
group.
What's true for others,
they said, is true for blacks
as well. Blacks want good
schools. Blacks want clean
neighborhoods. Blacks
want safety.
"We like to have the best
for our children, just like
anyone else," Mrs. Will-
ingham said.
But, they added, not , all
blacks have made it. Those
who have not, said Mr.
Jordan, will blame their
failure on someone else.
That someone can be a
faceless, nameless "Jew,"
he said.
Both the Jordans and
Mrs. Willingham feel that
Jews are more sensitive to
black concerns than any-
one else. But, Mr. Jordan
said, not all blacks see it
that way.
"You could ask that
question to another room-
ful of blacks and they'd say
`No!' " he said.
What the black commun-
ity must do, Mrs. Jordan
said, is move away from
blaming Jews for success.
