This is the sort of article I am referring to, although I have seen other studies confirming the results: Blacks 4 Times More Likely Than Whites To Feel Anti-Semitic -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK -- Blacks were found nearly four times as likely as whites to hold strong anti-Semitic views, according to a survey released Monday by the Anti-Defamation League. Abraham Foxman, ADL national director, blamed Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and others. "The Farrakhan message of anti-Semitism is repeated and repeated and that strengthens and reaffirms these attitudes," Foxman said. "There are some voices of restraint. We know that responsible leadership has spoken out against anti-Semitism in the black community, but they can't make it their everyday task." Benjamin Muhammad, a spokesman for Farrakhan, denied the charge. "We categorically take exception to the untrue statements and the false statements made by Mr. Foxman in regard to the Nation of Islam," Muhammad said. "We are not anti-Semitic, period. And for someone to falsely accuse us of being anti-Semitic is itself an injustice." Those surveyed were asked whether they agreed with such beliefs as "Jews have too much power," "Jews have too much influence over the American news media" and "Jews are more loyal to Israel than America." Based on their responses, those surveyed were rated as not anti-Semitic, most anti-Semitic, or in the middle. Among blacks, 34 percent were listed as most anti-Semitic, down slightly from 37 percent in the ADL's last survey, in 1992. Nine percent of whites fell into the most anti-Semitic category, down from 17 percent. Twenty-one percent of blacks were listed as not anti-Semitic and 45 percent were in the middle. A total of 999 people nationwide were surveyed by telephone Oct. 12-21 by the Boston firm of Martilla Communications/Kiley & Co. The margin of error was 3 percentage points. Calls to the Nation of Islam were not immediately returned. Overall, the number of Americans with strong anti-Semitic opinions dropped to 12 percent from 1992, when the survey found 20 percent embraced anti-Jewish stereotypes. Those identified as not anti-Semitic rose to 53 percent from 39 percent in 1992. Those in the middle dropped to 35 percent from 41 percent.
