Jewish homemakers in the suburbs paid low wages to their housekeepers.May not be the answer but I witnessed it as a child

Because during the 60s and 70s the blacks were against EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING. Look up the Black Panthers and Malcolm X.

black people were against people that wanted to harm them. There werent against any particular race. White people did not respect or treat blacks with equality. Blacks and Jews do not really have any relationship together.
In the 1960's the government were attacking Blacks, and hosed them with water, lynched them, and simply treated the horribly. Some black groups tried to rise up against these evil whites by means of violence.
MLK, tried to rise up by non-violence which is a peace of crap.
However these whites shot and killed MLK for no reason except that they knew they could get away with it.
Blacks have a continuous stuggle, but in time it will get easier.

Many trace it to a contentious teacher's strike by the mostly Jewish teachers in the mostly Black Ocean Hill-Brownsville section of Brooklyn, NY.

"An ill-defined, Ford Foundation-funded experiment in community oversight of a handful of schools went badly awry after an activist board of residents of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn tried to transfer 13 white, unionized teachers out of the five schools under its control. The ensuing walkout by 350 fellow union members and the battle for school leadership that followed led to a series of citywide teachers' strikes that pitted blacks directly against the heavily Jewish teachers' union. Though Cannato acknowledges the prominent role of Jews (and a white Catholic priest) in the Brownsville community-control movement, he is especially keen to document the anti-Semitic epithets and low-level violence that became routine in some schools, as well as the racist wrath that punctuated the media statements of several black leaders.

The anti-Semitic fringe of the black community came to the fore, further alienating middle-class, outer-borough Jews from Lindsay, whom some perceived as an ally of black leaders. Worse, the bewildering, autumn-long teachers' strikes left a million students coming up short on their education and working parents struggling to find care for their children. Then, in February, an unpredicted snowstorm shut down the city and the administration was slow to plow the streets. It was a classic foul-up. The mayor and his city were stumbling from crisis to crisis. "

Anti-Semitism against Jews always came out and will always come out from the idea that Jews are always successful and rich.
