🌎 Discussion: Civil Rights, Affirmative Action, Critical Race Theory, Systemic Inequality, and Racism - Part 4

[squeekness]

Its been a real banner week for antisemitism.

It still shocks me how strong it remains. Like Jews are to blame for everything that's gone wrong with the world when they probably had nothing to do with it. Why?

10% of white women marry outside their race. So probably only 3 or 4% marry black men. I guess Tucker would prefer that number be zero percent since he's a neonazi in a suit.

The Daily Beast - Anti-Woke Superhero Movie Blown Up in $1 Million Con
The film was based on a Confederacy-themed superhero comic book character created by a right-wing blogger. But then the money disappeared.

The Daily Beast - CEO of Struggling Anti-Woke Bank Resigns

The CEO of an anti-woke banking startup that raised tens of millions in funding and then careened toward bankruptcy has resigned, The Wall Street Journal reported. GloriFi was launched by Toby Neugebauer and Nick Ayers, former chief of staff to Mike Pence, and promoted as an alternative to liberal banks for conservatives.

I'll probably be in trouble for this so apologies in advance:

I couldn't care less about any member of the KKK, 1%ers, or what-have-you. I'm more concerned with those in power (law enforcement and politicians) who enable them every step of the time. These right wing gangs are merely citizens. They have no actual power compared to those given by the states or overall government thanks to centuries of laws targeting the most vulnerable.

As much as Biden wants to say "hate doesn't go away, it hides", that's a bit naive. Hate never went away; it didn't do a good job of hiding, either.

Wow. I am still shocked by just how much hate is out there. You'd think I would be getting used to it by now.

Donald Trump brought out the worst in people. Bigotry was just one part of that.

I worry how bad things will get if he wins again. Not that DeSantis will be much better.

Kanye lost it when his mother died as she was the only one who could talk some sense into him. Kanye has just become more and more unhinged as time went on. Kim leaving Kanye really seemed like another step into his descent into lunacy and he has been moving ever more into far right hate rhetoric.
A writer on his show was exposed as a white supremist. It wouldn't shock me if his whole writers room are white supremists.

Political Wire - Kanye West Has Long Fascination with Hitler

Several people who were once close to the artist formerly known as Kanye West said that he has long been fascinated by Adolf Hitler — and once wanted to name an album after the Nazi leader, CNN reports.

The Atlantic: Kanye West destroys himself.

Kanye also once said the enslavement of black folks was a choice by black folks and that the anti-slavery amendment of the U.S. Constitution should be abolished.

Kanye has to be on meds and is surrounded by people who probably encourage his behavior or at the very least turn a blind eye to it. I do agree his mother was probably the only one that could reign him in.

He's a hot mess and has been for some time. He needs some serious help. I hope he gets it.

The Washington Post - Overt U.S. antisemitism returns with Trump, Ye: ‘Something is different’

Longtime watchdogs of antisemitism say there is nothing new about the kinds of derogatory comments about Jews that the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, former President Donald Trump, sundry far-right political candidates and others have made in recent weeks.

But what has struck some experts is how blatant the comments about Jews are at a time when incidents of harassment, vandalism and violence against them have been at their highest levels since at least the 1970s. Recent data already showed that a majority of American Jews fear violence against them.

“Empirically, something is different. The level of public animosity towards Jews is higher than it’s been in recent memory,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in an interview.

Experts said the climate is the product of a stew of forces including a digital culture that spreads misinformation and hate and right-wing political forces focused on protecting White Christians’ status. Some said current antisemitism is also aggravated by more people downplaying it as merely an interreligious issue instead of a dangerous form of racism; in the past majorities from Germany to America made clear they saw Jews as a distinct and inferior race.

To survivors of even the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history — the 2018 massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh — the most urgent worry is that the event, which left 11 dead and at least six wounded, is already fading from public consciousness, crowded out by the dozens of mass shootings that followed.

Just Security - QAnon is a Nazi Cult, Rebranded (2020)

A secret cabal is taking over the world. They kidnap children, slaughter, and eat them to gain power from their blood. They control high positions in government, banks, international finance, the news media, and the church. They want to disarm the police. They promote homosexuality and pedophilia. They plan to mongrelize the white race so it will lose its essential power.

Does this conspiracy theory sound familiar? It is. The same narrative has been repackaged by QAnon.

I have studied and worked to prevent genocide for forty years. Genocide Watch and the Alliance Against Genocide, the first international anti-genocide coalition, see such hate-filled conspiracy theories as early warning signs of deadly genocidal violence.

The plot, described above, was the conspiracy “revealed” in the most influential anti-Jewish pamphlet of all time. It was called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It was written by Russian anti-Jewish propagandists around 1902. It collected myths about a Jewish plot to take over the world that had existed for hundreds of years. Central to its mythology was the Blood Libel, which claimed that Jews kidnapped and slaughtered Christian children and drained their blood to mix in the dough for matzos consumed on Jewish holidays.

The free speech advocates:

1) Don't know what free speech is.

2) Don't realize how ugly "free speech" platforms like Gab really are.

Of course. Well done Elon. Hope advertisers start pulling out asap.
