The Conflict Between Blacks and Jews In the Illinois Democratic Party

The Chicago Tribune reports not as is well in the Democratic party in the state of Illinois:

Perhaps only in Illinois could a government panel known as the Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes become roiled in an internal battle over charges of bigotry and anti-Semitism.

Two Jewish members of the commission resigned Thursday, after Gov. Rod Blagojevich refused to remove a third member, Claudette Marie Muhammad. She is the chief of protocol and director of community outreach for the Nation of Islam, which is led by Louis Farrakhan.

He has a long history of using his pulpit to attack whites, Jews and gays. He was at his vituperative best on Sunday as he delivered the keynote speech for the Nation of Islam's annual Savior's Day conference. "These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength," Farrakhan told his followers. "It's the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality."

This is just the beginning of a great conflict within the Democratic party.Particularly in a state like Illinois.I guess not everyone is enamored with every group's "indentity" in the Democratic party.
