The NAACP Chapter in NJ is alleging that Orthodox Jewish children in Lakewood, NJ were seen in racist costumes this past Purim.
They alleged that the children were seen photographed wearing Afro
wigs, blackface, and wearing shirts that said “Black Lives Matter” on them.
Fred Rush, local president of the NAACP, says he witnessed the
children on Ponderosa Drive near Pine Street on Purim, and says he
went over to two adults to tell them that this was racist and
unacceptable.
Rush also says he also witnessed people hanging an effigy – which some
do to commemorate the hanging of Haman. He did not say if the effigy
was pained as blackface, but still finds it offensive. He says he
contacted police who responded and asked the homeowner to remove the
effigy, who refused.
The attached photos are the alleged photos that are circulating on
social media, which have prompted many news articles by various news agencies.

If some little niggers had dressed-up like jews, the screams of "Anti-semitism!!" and "holocaust!" would have been heard around the
Western Hemisphere. Too funny.
