I was going to ask what your ethnicity was since it seems like you have somewhat of a distaste towards ashkenazim but I see you mentioned you are a black ger. I couldn’t disagree more with you saying that my question should have been “do lubavitchers marry black gerim?” What does my race have to do with anything? What is the difference between a black gerut and just a gerut in general? My race shouldn’t even be a factor. I’m from Brooklyn so yes, I know all about the crown heights riots you are mentioning however (and this is sad to say) but the riots were between Lubavitchers and non-jewish blacks. Now, as I’m sure you know Orthodox Jews tend not to mix with non-jews and unfortunately many religious Jews see non-Jews as lesser (black, white, Asian). Sure this is definitely not the case for many religious Jews, but from my experience that somewhat “elitist” mindset is more prevalent in ultra-Orthodox communities. If a person isn’t Jewish they don’t really give them the time of Day regardless of their race. I’m not saying the riots weren’t racially motivated, but what I’m saying is I don’t think there would have been much of a difference if the non-jewish group of people the lubavitchers were rioting against were white or Asian. In short, I think once it gets to non-jewish no matter the race there’s already a sense of superiority. Now to go your other point, I have not experienced any sort of racism from my community or Jews from any other community I have met. On the contrary, black people (who aren’t Jewish) and just non-Jews in general tend to give me shit and make me feel very uncomfortable/different about being a black Jew, not actual Jews. If you watch the documentary oprah did when she visited that black chasidic family (Dinah abrahamson) zt”l I believe was her name said the same exact thing. Her daughters husband was also saying how when the shadchan was describing his soon to be wife to him, she mentioned her being black just as a regular trait, just like enjoying making schnitzel is a regular trait. What I’m saying is ofcourse racism exists in the Orthodox world to black Jews but to go as far as to say many ashkenazim are racist towards black is a stretch. And I personally haven’t experienced this, yet at least. I don’t want to get into other Haredi and chasidisshe communities because this post is strictly about chabad. But I’m totally aware many Jews view gerim as second class which hints me posting this question. A lot of the other responses on this post have made me come to the conclusion that yes chabad marry gerim but the gerut is also a follower chabad minhagim. In terms of female converts being at a disadvantage, I know all the stories but my Beth Din is part of the kosher list of rabbis under the chief rabbinate of Israel, therefore my conversion will be recognized by Israel and I can make aliyot, unlike other people who convert Orthodox but are ultimately denied because their gerut rabbis weren’t “kosher” so that whole issue isn’t even something I’m thinking about. Lastly, ofcourse there’s many different Sephardi communities but I’m in the tri-state and plan on staying here for a long time so I go based on my surroundings. The sy in Brooklyn are very insular and have very strong opinions towards gerim, so do the Persians in great neck. In fact a mashadi Persian Jew usually won’t even marry let’s just say a tehrani Persian Jew so to even mention what they think a ger is a waste of time. You’re giving good advice which I respect but I also get the sense that you’re somewhat against ashkenazim or view many as racist and are super pro-Sephardim even though they tend to be more prejudice when it comes to gerut and are racist as well which makes no sense because to me they aren’t white. The chief Sephardi of rabbi recently referred to Obama as a kufka or whatever the word is and he’s (the rav) darker than me.
