[lbo-talk] words for the black community

[joanna bujes]

Actually, what really mattered was class relations and the ways in which 
class conflict could be deflected upon scapegoats. The scapegoating was 
not entirely arbitrary as Jews often functioned as the money lenders and 
stewards of the aristocracy...doing their dirty work for them and then 
absorbing the punishment when the peasants revolted.

It's still happening -- it just moved to the Middle East.
