Too broad a question...

By Jews, who Adeni, European Sephardhis, Mirazhi, Azhkenazis or Israeli communities?

Likewise by Black Africans to whom are you referring? West Africans like Nigerians or Ghanaians? Or Africans from the Sahel like Mali. East Africans like Somalis or Eithiopians? Diaspora communities like the small hispanic one in places like Belize or larger communities like those in Brazil or America. Or perhaps Afro Iraqis like those found in Southern Iraq in Basra?

Neither group is one cohesive bloc as an outsider would assume. In those groups you have a myriad of differing opinions. C'mon some Hasidic communities are even against Israel for religious reasons, in simple terms they believe Zionists are trying to force God's hand..

I have my opinion on prejudice and racism, if you see my posts with other UK black people they certainly don't always align with mine.

The core discussion was the position of British Jewry and I have argued that they doth protest too much. So far I have been left convinced that it is the case. No one provided any convincing evidence that they suffer disproportionately compared to other minorities today.. In fact I would say they suffer far less, compared to very visible minorities like non-white groups..

Also please address some of the points I raised instead of going off on tangents with further questions..

Re: 'the Jews doth protest too much'

Fair enough if you believe that. I submit annihilation and the psychology in promulgating that view which is a Jewish experience concentrates their minds to a great extent in our modern age. An understanding of that goes a long way in why people think and act like they do.
