Anti-Semitism in the black community is a thing, and takes specific and often conspiratorial forms which subtly differ from white American anti-Semitism -- which is also, in case it needs saying, just as much of a thing. Meanwhile, anti-black racism among non-black Jews is also, need I even say, totally a thing. Meanwhile, there is only one demographic group that votes more consistently for Democrats in the US than Jews -- and that's black voters, who absolutely blow us out of the water, despite having a lot less reason to trust the Democratic establishment. Non-black Americans schooling black voters for not being sufficiently loyal to Democrats is like Game of Thrones scolding Sesame Street for not thinking about the needs of young viewers.

The post includes several links for further reading from within the Jewish community, and specifically by Black Jewish people.
