Addressing Hate Speech and Unity Efforts

Inside the Patriots stadium, a command center of stats

tracking hate speech online. It shows where it's coming from,

the time of day, and how it's trending, especially among younger

people.

We saw that not only is hate and antisemitism growing

across the country, it's disproportionately growing on college

campuses and in high

schools.

Which is part of the reason Kraft says he partnered with the United Negro

College Fund and the Jewish organization Hillel International

to host unity dinners throughout the country.

So let's get to it.

Baruch College students Aiden Herzlinger and Akeesh El are among

the more than 450 students who've attended at least one of

the dinners. What do you talk about at these dinners?

The dinners are about finding commonalities,

commonalities between the Black

community and the Jewish community.

Um, so we really talk about anything and everything.

It's not just about politics and opinions, it's about treating each other as

humans.

We mainly talked about our families, why we have

communities, and how our communities are similar, more than different.

Why Jewish students with Black students?

Because historically we have that connection.

It's a connection that's gotten a lot done, and I think we can continue to get a

lot done if we come together.

And when you heard those students talk about the history of Blacks

and Jews working

together, consider this. In June of 1964, three college

students fighting for civil rights in Mississippi were murdered by the Ku Klux

Klan with law enforcement. Those activists were James

Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner.

Chaney, a Black man, Goodman and Schwerner, Jewish.

Right now we know those bonds have been challenged by a war in which more than

1,200 people have been killed in Israel, and over 70,000 in

Gaza. But you guys, overwhelmingly his message he's saying

is we shouldn't

tolerate it for anyone. You know, whether you're Jewish,

whether you're Black,

whether you're Latino, whether you're Asian, it shouldn't matter.

People should be standing up to ignorance and hate.

Right. And I, I love that he's using the Super Bowl, which

is one of the biggest

platforms in the world, to share that message-

Yeah, millions of people watching

... because the FBI has, as we all know, reported that antisemitism right now is

one of the greatest threats in our country and our democracy at this very

moment.
