US Jewry discourse, racism 

I don't think suburbanite American Jewry should be proud of having BLM in bio while simultaneously making continual claims to the effect of "I'm not racist because I am Jewish". Excuses have varied over time, racializing Jewish identity, anti-semitism as a means of shutting down protests against Israel, always looking for the next Jews to throw under the bus. Black Jews, Arab Jews, what next? It happened after Ferguson, after George Floyd, and it is happening again now. That is false solidarity. We need solidarity now more than ever. We need intersectionality, it provides what the white supremacist protection racket can never actually provide you: a better world for everyone. But get this: If you want to 'do the work' you actually must be willing to confront racism in your own community, your family, and within yourself, instead of creating cowardly protective wards from behind a white picket fence.

Really I am just thinking of one guy in particular I haven't seen in a few years, but I'm sure he is still out there saying this shit.
