Revisionist History Continues as NAACP Removes Jewish Founder From Website

 B"H

The revisionist anti-Jewish history continues its relentless march as we face another Tisha b'Av without our Beit Hamikdash.

Now an organization which was co-founded, heavily financed, and materially and morally supported by Jews throughout the years has turned its back on the Jews and erases our involvement--condemning another generation of African Americans from the knowledge of those who have worked on their behalf as partners in the fight for civil rights in America.

Sadly, it appears, the NAACP has decided that Jews are such a hated group of people that they can no longer admit they ever had any association with us, let alone that they had been founded by us.

Good thing Jews didn't feel the same way about blacks when blacks needed us to stand up for them and no one else would lift their hands to help.

But, we are unlike any other people in the world.  Jews cannot and will not count on the help, acknowledgement, or recognition of any people, government, or organization in the world.  

We can't.  

We must only count upon the help, acknowledgment, and recognition of G-d.

This is the lesson of the the desert.

This is the lesson of Tisha b'Av.

This is the lesson of history.

May Hashm always be with us, for we are a nation alone in the world, unlike any other.

NAACP EXCLUDES WHITE JEWISH FOUNDER FROM THEIR WEBSITE http://shelomoalfassa.blogspot.com/2010/07/naacp-excludes-white-jewish-founder.html

EXCLUSIVE OP/ED

by Shelomo Alfassa / www.alfassa.com

New York, NY (July 19, 2010) It is a sad state of affairs that Henry Moskowitz, Ph.D., one of the original co-founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), has been excluded from the list of prominent "People" under the History heading of the new NAACP Website. Of all the founders of the NAACP, it is only Dr. Moskowitz (1879-1936) which is missing, leaving a gaping hole in the history of the organization.

Dr. Henry Moskowitz was a Romanian-born Jew that was involved with social work in New York City during the early 20th century. He was active in city politics under the administration of New York City Mayor John Purroy Mitchel; and he was the Associate Leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture which often looked out for the rights of new immigrants on New York City's Lower East Side. He is credited as being one of the original founders of the NAACP which was created in a tiny New York apartment on February 12, 1909.

While Dr. Moskowitz' name is fleetingly mentioned in small print on a non-primary page of the NAACP Website, it is a sad commentary that the organization has not added him, his background information, his photo, and his name to the list of prominent people in their encyclopedic alphabetical index, which includes past and present NAACP leaders. Of all the NAACP founders, only Dr. Moskowitz, one of the original eight, has been marginalized from the history portion of the official NAACP Website.

Further, and even more interesting to note, is that other early NAACP supporters and founders included: Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsh, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, all of them are missing from the NAACP Website where past leaders and prominent persons are listed. Who  is listed? People such as such as Harry Belafonte, Rodney King, Oprah Winfrey and President Obama are included.
