A big 1942 yard sign tells Blacks they are not welcome to move into a new federal housing project in Detroit.
A flyer created by white Detroiters asks for assistance from people outside their neighborhood at Nevada and Fenelon Streets to keep Black residents from moving into the federally-built “Sojourner Truth” Housing Project in Detroit, Michigan, 1942. Note the expressed fear of rape. (My Margi, before I met or knew her, suffered sexual violence from a black man in Washington DC.)

While Jews cynically claim to be for racial equality and multiculturalism, they are the most racist people on earth.
Jewish historian Norman Cantor:
“Racism is itself a central doctrine in traditional Judaism and Jewish cultural history. The Hebrew Bible is blatantly racist, with all the talk about ‘the seed of Abraham,’ the ‘chosen people,’ and Israel as ‘the light to the other nations.’ Orthodox Jews in their morning prayers still thank God daily that he did not make Jews ‘like other people on earth.’ – p 107″

Believe only the Jews’ actions — and especially how they, as quasi-whites themselves, treat the people of color in Jewish-occupied Palestine:

Liberal jewish hypocrites denounce Trump for trying to build a Wall, but what did they erect and complete? A W-A-L-L. (Here is the Israeli separation wall dividing the Pisgat Zeev Israeli Settlement on the left and the Shuafat Refugee Camp on the right, outside Jerusalem.)
…..1942-43 race riots in Detroit
In 1941 the FDR-ruled federal government and the Detroit Housing Commission approved construction of the 200-unit “Sojourner Truth” Housing Project to house Black defense workers during World War II.
Both rural Southern/Appalachian Whites and Blacks, fleeing the Great Depression era joblessness, had moved north to big city factories.
Detroit soon had two million inhabitants, 200,000 of them — 10% — being black.
White residents living near the project’s location at Nevada and Fenelon Streets protested to change the occupancy to white only, and federal authorities promised to build housing for Black workers elsewhere.
After failing to secure an alternative site, Black workers fought for their demand to move into “Sojourner Truth.”
Continued demonstrations, violent clashes, and hundreds of arrests prompted Mayor Edward Jeffries to mobilize the Michigan National Guard to move the first Black families into the Sojourner Truth Housing Project.
On June 20, 1943 fighting broke out between white and Black youths on Detroit’s Belle Isle, igniting three days of violence, looting, and arson.

Detroit Mayor Edward Jeffries and Michigan Governor Harry Kelly requested federal intervention when the police could not quell the spreading riots.
By the time President Franklin Roosevelt sent more than 6,000 U.S. Army troops to restore peace, nearly 700 people had been injured and 34 people were killed (25 Black and 9 white), and property damage totaled approximately $2 million.
The brutal nature of the injuries and deaths in those three days revealed a well of racial hatred that went much deeper than city officials were prepared to publicly acknowledge.
Street cars and automobiles barely escape damage as a fireball erupts from a car tipped over by a mob during the 1943 Race Riot in Detroit, Michigan.
