Uh, they put themselves in the position where

whenever anybody gives an objective

And a, and, uh, a Negro is not anti-Semitic when he says that the,

the

man who's exploiting him in his community is white, because it is a white man who

owns all the stores. Now, is it a, an accident that these whites who own

these

stores are Jewish? If it's an accident, then, uh, the fact that he says, "The

Jew on the corner is exploiting me," isn't an anti-Semitic statement.
