Is the Women’s March Melting Down?:
According to several sources, it was there—in the first hours of the
first meeting for what would become the Women’s March—that something
happened that was so shameful to many of those who witnessed it, they
chose to bury it like a family secret. Almost two years would pass
before anyone present would speak about it.
It was there that, as the women were opening up about their
backgrounds and personal investments in creating a resistance movement
to Trump, Perez and Mallory allegedly first asserted that Jewish people
bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and
brown people—and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed
that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.
These are canards popularized by The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, a
book published by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam—“the bible of the
new anti-Semitism,” according to Henry Louis Gates Jr., who noted
in 1992: “Among significant sectors of the black community, this brief
has become a credo of a new philosophy of black self-affirmation.”
To this day, Mallory and Bland deny any such statements were ever
uttered, either at the first meeting or at Mallory’s apartment. ...
None of the other women in attendance would speak openly to Tablet about
the meeting, but multiple sources with knowledge of what happened
confirmed the story.
