When we talk about high crime rates and poor economic success among black Americans, the go-to response is to blame it all on systemic oppression, which supposedly echoes for generations.
However, we can look at another group who’ve faced systemic oppression: the Jews. Their entire history was filled with constant oppression- they’ve been kicked out of 100+ countries. Yet they would always move somewhere else and form strong and successful communities, despite their incessant oppression and disenfranchisement.
The literal Holocaust was just over 80 years ago- Jews were massacred in gas chambers and expelled from all kinds of places. Israel was created from quite literally the ground up, and it’s been under constant attack by Arabs ever since the first Jewish settlements in the British mandate of Palestine. Now look at what Israel is today (or not even today, they were successful even before the massive US support).
Why were Jews able to continuously rise up and beat their historical oppression (not just in the US, but literally everywhere) while black Americans can’t?

PSA: OP’s post and comment history is the story of one of the most pathetic misogynist, racist sad sacks I’ve seen in a while. No interaction on this post is likely to be anything but ugly.
Well, this is obviously being asked in good faith.
Jews have? I thought “antisemitism” was sweeping the nation as a reason to attack higher education –
oh wait.
It’s like they’re being scapegoated for corrupt political purposes again. Man they have really made a lot of progress.
Locked. Rule 6. This is a political forum, not a racial supremacy forum.
We’re not here to debate Jews vs. Blacks.
