You can keep your name calling and judgments to yourself. I’m not going to get into a “white privilege” conversation with you, I have no idea if you’re white, black, Asian or otherwise. What I WILL tell you is yes, I believe racism goes in many directions. And as a Jewish person, I’ve found many anti-semetic comments made by black people who don’t get called on it. So, they’re allowed to spew anything they want, but if you DARE say something that offends them it’s an assault against humanity.

You wanna compare the Holocaust to slavery? Want to compare how many Jews were also not allowed in country clubs and certain businesses, etc. Nothing was handed to Jewish people; they worked for whatever they had. They weren’t let in to the “good ol’ boys” club even if they were considered “white.” Or country clubs. And, yet, because Jewish people are seen as successful and white they’re supposed to take all the anti-semetic crap aimed at them and APOLOGIZE if they’re successful. They’re supposed to hang their heads in shame if people are against Israel. So, no, I’m not crying for any racist comments made toward any other group until many in that same group decides to let go of their own racist/religious bias and venom.

Know what? Jews marched in the civil rights movement; died in it. Jews were instrumental in funding the NAACP. Know what they got for that? More percentage of American blacks are anti-semetic than whites.

Recently, a Jewish lawyer went off on a Spanish speaking person in a food market. He insulted them and told them to learn English. Went on some tirade. Know what happened next? The video went viral and hundreds (thousands?) of people gave out his home address, surrounded his house, threatened him and I believe he lost his job.

Let’s compare that to this scenario which happened about a week later. A Jewish man was standing on a NY subway. A black woman who was also standing, got upset because none of the other passengers would give their seat to a black woman who came on to the train with her children. Oh, and by the way, all the passengers were black, too. Know what the black woman did? She started screaming, “I bet if JEWS walked in you’d give them your seat. Ya’ll would give your seat to JEWS…” She then went on some rant about Jewish people in general, aiming her bile at the Jewish man who was minding his own business. He asked her to please stop. She continued. He told her she was being racist and there’s no need. She called him some name and told him she’d have to “school” him because talking about Jews is not “racist.” She went on and on; one nasty, anti-semetic comment after another. The Jewish man just let her rant, tried to calm her down to no avail. Guess what happened? The video went viral…but…There were no recriminations against the anti-semite. There was no trying to find out where she lived or surrounding her house and trying to humiliate her to all corners of the world; wherever the video could reach. Why ? Because anti-semetism just doesn’t get a reaction. Anti semetism? Holocaust deniers? “Get over it.” No reaction from the people who are so aghast at the supposed racism directed at “minorities.”

I am SICK of the double, triple standard. So, do NOT go calling me any names. You want to cry for the victims of racism? The poor victims who never utter a nasty word about any group? The “innocents?” Go ahead. Make yourself feel like you’re a compassionate human being fighting for the underdog.

I, on the other hand, will not fall prey to people like you trying to make me feel something I don’t. I “feel” much compassion, empathy for true victims; regardless of race, religion, etc. I FEEL for people who are helpless, injured emotionally or physically, etc. I fight for the underdog, whomeover he/she/they may be. But I’m not jumping on board and getting all riled up when one group always seems to cry racism while they spew their own venom and get away with it, whether it be lyrics, comedy, public relations, TV shows, characterizations, etc.

Wanna talk about police brutality. too? Do you have any idea how many white victims of police brutality there are? A lot; the media just doesn’t publicize it. But we can talk about the white girl on the beach a few weeks ago who had her head slammed a number of times by cops. or the deaf, white boy who didn’t hear the officer’s instructions and tried to raise his hands to explain but was shot dead.

Black Lives Matter? Do you know how many Jewish people march in those things? In my opinion? Too many. But when the “march” fell out on a Jewish holiday and the Jewish people requested that it be on another day so they could march with them, they were rejected. Date wasn’t changed. Same for a womans’ march. The Jewish participants couldn’t march because I believe it fell out on Yom Kippor, the holiest day of the year. Guess what. It went on anyway; without them. Happens in baseball, too. I’ve never seen blacks march for Jews. I’ve never seen blacks fight against anti-semetism; but as is the Jewish (many times liberal way ) we fight for everyone. No one fights for Jewish people.

Do I think Roseanne knew? NO I DON’T. She has a big mouth and she’s out there but she’s not stupid. I don’t believe that she’d actually compare someone she knew was black to an ape. Just don’t. I think she thought the woman resembled one; one can have features that would remind them of an ape, a puppy, a rabbit, etc. So, yes, that’s what I said she thought; that’s what I believe.

Now, in another scenario if it can be proven that Roseanne knew; of course it was wrong. Wrong is an understatement. It’s wrong even if she didn’t know, because it was still insulting the woman’s looks and I’m not a fan of hurting one’s feelings. However, that doesn’t change my original statement. I don’t think she knew. If people are going to lose their jobs over racist comments toward black people then others should lose theirs over anti-semetic comments, anti-white, Asian comments, etc. Don’t think that? Want to give a pass to others insulting Christians, Jews, Asians, gays, because it just doesn’t mean the same if you’re considered “white”? That’s on you.

Done.

You should be worried about what comes out of the President’s mouth. THAT’s a concern. Breitbart Bannon (though cast out but not off), the alt right (who by the way marched and chanted “Jews shall not replace us” but, that, of course, barely got mentioned.) The Confederate statues and what it represents about slavery somehow overshadowed that the neo nazis were marching in typical Nazi fashion decrying Jews…But, where was the public outcry about that?

So, since you agree “anyone of any class, heritage can be racist” maybe you should consider that when a derogatory comment comes out of the mouths of any of those other “class, heritage,” groups. Because so far all I see is defending what’s “trendy” to defend.

And, lest I repeat it again, I don’t think Roseanne knew. But Halle Berry knew what she was saying when she made a “joke” about herself with a “Jewish nose” in one of her photos. Funny; I didn’t see her popularity wane or any gasps from the world.

And I don’t think, as I said, that Roseanne is a racist. But maybe we should be boycotting Farrakhan, select black rappers, etc.

While we’re at it, are you referring to institutional racism or racism? Because an individual who has an animosity, a feeling that ANY person/group who is different from their own, religion, color, etc can be racist. So, again, let’s see the pendulum swing in all directions. Until then, it’s just one-sided hypocrisy.
