Among the more prominent fusions of antisemitism and racism is the idea that Black political leaders are really just mouthpieces of the Jews. It combines a belief in Black inferiority (obviously, they can't think for themselves) with a belief in Jewish conspiracy (they're pulling the strings behind the scene).
I pulled this tweet -- a beneficiary of Elon's "blue check" destruction -- not just because it's a sterling example of the genre, but because its choice of example is positively baffling:
The Black Community is in dire need of strong black voices to represent them. Al Sharpton is a pissant sycophant working for the Jews who made him into the charlatan he is today.

All Black voices in DC were created & given their positions by the Jews ...who tell them what to…
(I don't even know what to make about concluding with the motto for "Survivor". So we'll just move along....)
Again, the core allegation here is not unique. But specifically citing Al Sharpton as the template -- that's a decision. To be sure, I don't think in the year 2023 it's useful to reduce Rev. Sharpton just to his role in the Crown Heights riot. But certainly that rather specific history Sharpton has with the Jews makes him an odd choice to hold out as your paradigm case of a Black voice under Jewish control.
What I'm saying is that racists need to learn better history. Among other things they need to learn.
