It turns out the Jersey City Kosher grocery shooters were Black Hebrew Israelites. You'll just have to look that one up. These are the guys who were verbally harassing the Covington Kids in DC last January.
As it happens back in our direct mail fundraising days we once wrote a fundraising letter about them.
We're less worried about the shooting this morning. The thought that a new Jersey Muslim might haul off and start shooting Jews was....disconcerting to say the least. There's a lot fewer Black Hebrew Israelites in the state.
Would the reader(s) believe we had thought there might be an African American angle to this? We didn't say so becuase we didn't want to speculate. But one of the dirty secrets of American life is African American anti-Semitism.
