WhatsappWhen the Black lives matter movement starting taking to the streets with protests and riots, I decided that it was time to break down the lies for people to wake up. This is second post of the series.
So my politically incorrect post from yesterday has upset a lot of people. They are now calling me a racist since they think I deny blacks ever experienced racism in America. That is totally false, so, let’s clarify…
Yes, racism exists in America, but America does not have the systematic racism that it used to have. Regarding Jews and antisemitism, I say the same thing. Yes, antisemitism exists in America, but America does not have the systematic racism that it used to have. Both racism and antisemitism will always exist, neither are going away because there always will be racists and antisemites. My point is that America is not an antisemitic country today even though there are plenty of antisemites, and America is not a racist country today even though there are still plenty of racists. Those are two different things.
The other comment I received is that I can’t talk because I’m white and I live in Israel. Which, to many, is a valid point. So I address it like this: Yes, I live in Israel, but I’m a Jew, even though my skin color is white. I’m not white and neither are other “white” Jews. Every period in history we were treated as Jews, not white, and the mistake of so many “white” Jews today is that they think this has changed. Yet all they have to do is look at the intersectionality movement where Zionist Jews are not welcome, regardless of their white skin. You are right, I did not experience the racism that blacks in America experienced, with some still experiencing it today. But I do know that the systematic racism that existed in America no longer exists today. And too many people take advantage of the race card to make too many black Americans live like victims. If there is one thing black Americans can be inspired by us Jews is that while we remember the tragedies and injustices that befell us, we remain focused on moving forward and making a difference, and overcoming what we experienced. We do not live our lives as victims. There are plenty of American blacks who live life according to that same philosophy and are disgusted by those who take advantage of the race issue to portray black Americans as constant victims. Of course, individual racist attacks must be highlighted and dealt with just as individual antisemitic acts must be highlighted and dealt with. That is not the issue.
I received the following post by a black LA police officer expressing his personal feelings about what is going on that is important for everyone to read: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10156769668747242&id=545522241 And later on today I will be interviewing a black American from LA, who now lives in Jerusalem, to hear his thoughts on the matter. You are all invited to watch and hear what he has to say.
And the whole point of this topic, is that the destructive riots in America have nothing to do with fighting racism in America. Those destructive riots are really just leftist anarchy hijacking the race issue to create anarchy in America. It does not nothing to help fight racism. My heart goes out to those people who truly took to the streets to protest the killing of George Floyd.
