The blacks and the Jews

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

Following this, I fully expect to see the British intelligentsia convening summits, penning editorials, and otherwise making hay over the shocking rise in Jewish racism. I mean because, clearly, some drug-addicted soul crooner, high and at her worst moment, speaks for all Jews everywhere, around the world, for all time. OK, not all Jews. But most. Gotta be most.

UPDATE: As per Gussie's suggestion, I now demand Joe Lieberman denounce and reject Amy Winehouse--and Disraeli while he's at it. Didn't Disraeli give us the scramble for Africa? Who cares. I heard that he did. That's all that matters
