Yes, and I could add that this belief set enters Atlantic trade history where it is claimed that slave shipping was owned mostly by Jews and Jews were the primary owners of slaves in the South. The latter point is nonsense, given their minuscule numbers, but for reasons given in post #32 above (Jews in banking and merchant trade), they did play a predominate role in 16th-17th century origins of the slave trade, when volume was small. They are muscled aside in the 18th century, when the greatest mass transportation occurred.

The main contemporary source for such views is Tony Martin's The Secret Relationship (1991), which supposedly sets the task of re-examining the Black-Jewish alliance forged during the Civil Right Era.

What mystifies me about this project is its motivation. When you've had whitey on your neck for 400 years, why single out this also persecuted subset thereof, a fellow Klan target, and make them the drivers of Black oppression?  Finding the answer to that question would teach us a lot about current race relations and their history. Why take Klan/Nazi narratives of Jewish threat as your research guide? Or at least the 19th century sources of those narratives?
