Spigner said However when the Stu dent Insurgent listed names of professors and asked the question Are these professors rai 1st7' brand wrote letters to all professors and administration denouncing this The vice provost wrote to the EmemUi in opposition Why is there a differem e7 Or is it a question of who's been targeted7" both Toll otid Spigner spoke about the media's tendoni y to target public persons and leaders ns the \ nii.li of an entire community Toll spoke about the personal agendas of those leaders "When dealing with a publii person you must take it at face value They have a political agenda.” Toll said. As an example lie i ited a recent dispute between the nation of Islam and the Anti-Defamation league in which a follower of the nation gave a sp»*«x h that included some anti Semite language W fix is the ADI.I promoting tfit* information of Hus sum 11 person" lull said "The spin ulation is lor money It s< ares some Jewish people into think mg that (hex must gixe money to the AD1.U." A woman in the audience said she had recently heeii 1 ailed by the ADI.U for a cash donation Spigner spoke about trow some leaders are ignored when thex make anti-Semitic statements •This doesn't happen to others such as white, powerful political lenders such as Ronald Reagan. I’ai buchanan and others " Spigner said "Where xx as the press when Reagan laid wreaths on the graves of Nazi soldiers7 When one lilat k person makes a statement, the media runs out to find anoth er black and asks. 'Do you agree’ It's racist to believe that one person speaks for all blac ks It’s an insult both Spigner and l oll emphasized that there is a lot of diversity in each group and that there are many different ideas and beliefs within these groups There is no one voice for a group of people Professors Spigner and Toll also spoke of the cur ront relations and tensions between blac ks and Jew ish people Both professors agreed that the lac k of knowledge of eac h other's c ulture is the tvtiginning of tension between blacks and Jewish people f or example, Grown Heights Jews art* a small but significant set t of Jews that remain aloof Both him ks and Jews in Grown Heights aren't know ledgeable of their neighbors, " Toll said This is the fault of (Grown Height) Jews They don't want anyone to know about them and they don’t try to get to know other people T he (Town Height Jews don't respect other Jews because they aren't pious. They're separated and alone ' Other reasons for conflict between blacks and Jews are ec onomic: and politic al "Tension for some blacks started when some mainstream Jews rejected affirmative action," Spign er said "This group of blacks felt betrayer! because Jews line! played an important role in the i ivil rights movements of the 'fiOs." Although blacks and Jews are oppressed groups, they experienc e; different forms of oppression. Blac ks are generally oppressed by economic: means while Jews are generally oppressed psychological ly "Some Jews find security in individual merit," Spigner said. "While the reality of skin color exist, blacks must have entitlements," Professor Toll pointed out that discrimination still exists hen; at the University. It remains in the fonn of institutionalized racism He questioned who decides whether Jewish history or German Jiisto rv programs would rei eive funding. It was stated that the rai ial climate a few decades ago was very different from today s Some ethnic courses didn't rei eive a lot of funding Some of those figures have remained unchanged until today. Some students on campus feel optimistic: about black and Jewish relations. ET ALS Ml 1 1 I Nil. S Internal ion*!
