One watershed event omitted from Cohen's piece is the teachers' strike in Ocean Hill-Brownsville (NYC) in 1968, which followed closely upon the '67 war . An SDSer at the time (and a college kid who didn't know all that much), I supported the "black community" against the strikers--a position I now believe to have been wrong. Upon subsequent reading, I concluded that the Rockefeller Foundation, under McGeorge Bundy (remember him?), was deliberately (and successfully) using slogans of community control to pit blacks against unions. But, whatever the rights and wrongs of that dispute, it did mark a certain turning point.Jews, many of whom had previously considered themselves not quite white, began increasingly thereafter to think of themselves as another white ethnicity.
