The headline on Yahoo is “Obama urges blacks to take more responsibility for their actions,” which strikes me as oddly like “Black/Jewish tension flares in New York.”

Yeah, blacks should take more responsibility for their actions. So should, y’know, whites, Jews, Asians, Mormons, men, women, the young and the old. So thanks for that urgent report: and what’s the agenda, again?

And yeah, there’s trouble with black/Jewish tension and violence. Who’d have guessed that two groups that contain both the black/white and the Jewish/non-Jewish conflicts will … conflict. (Leaving aside, for a moment, the lucky few who are black -and- Jewish.)

And there’s trouble with black/white tension and violence, and non-Jewish/Jewish tension and violence, black/black tension and violence, Jewish/Jewish tension and violence. And I’d bet, more than any other, there’s trouble with white/white and Christian/Christian tension and violence.

I dunno. Of course when there’s violence between Jews and blacks, it oughtta be reported as violence between Jews and blacks. But somehow … something there gives me pause.
