The Ward 8 blacks are worried about things like putting food on the table and finding employment. Trayon does a good job representing them in their eyes. A NOI guy shouted Jews are like termites after the event was basically over and now you want Trayon who wasn't even there and a Latino dude to lose their jobs? Probably 3 times a year a black yells something racist to me. So what. Do you ever see the white christians on here in hysterics? Pull yourself together already. The world is not always rainbows and unicorns.

Bet if someone yelled the “n” word on stage at some rally in DC you would be the first to call for everyone’s head on a platter. So much hypocrisy.

Breaking news : people do and keep their jobs , but if constantly hiding behind and comparing yourselves to minorities despite you being at the top of the food chain ( so much for anti anti semitism) helps you sleep at night . Go for it

Did you know that resentment of Jewish success combined with anti-semitism lead to the Holocaust?

Hmm the majority of Jews weren’t ‘successful’ when the holocaust started , but keep pushing alternate reality I’ve come to expect that .

The perceived success of the Jews. But ok, what do you think caused the Holocaust? And why do you think it's irrelevant today?

The holocaust was primarily caused by eugenics and its attendant belief in a superior race ( aryan). Logistically it was easier to get rid of Jews than say, the French , for the simple fact that Jews have never been a majority wherever they’ve lived throughout history . Do some research on hitler’s view of the French.


Perhaps you could do yourself a service by not putting words in people’s mouths , unbeknownst to you that such tactics confirm age old stereotypes against Jews as viciously dishonest people . I don’t recall telling you the holocaust is irrelevant and yet there you are , essentially accusing me of just that .

So ... the Holocaust had nothing to do with anti-semitism? Ok ...

So you basically think Jews today should forget about the Holocaust because it wasn't really about them, per se?

PS - I am not Jewish, but nice try. There has to be some kind of name for the rhetorical tactic where you accuse someone of acting like a stereotype as a way to basically employ that stereotype.

I am not sure what you are arguing about. You may think that Jews "pass", but then you realize that they can be singled out as "termites" by someone with a bullhorn being held by a government official standing in front of the Wilson Building. One was even identified by name. That's reality.

Unless you can prove that individual is able to identity a Jew in a crowd ( doubtful but I’m willing to be convinced ), I don’t see your point

Jews are extremely identifiable. They worship together, have Jewish schools, sometimes wear identifiable clothes, sometimes live in all-Jewish neighborhoods, and sometimes have characteristic features and names.

I know my history and understand the differences between the African-Amercian experience and Jewish experience in the US, but the remark about being at the top of the food chain is quite revealing, and not in a good way.

Agree. And whoever that "top of the food chain" poster is, he should know he's talking to more than one of us.

Agree. My Jewish MIL has entire branches of her family still living very scrappy lives in Brookland. She's the only one who really became affluent.

The majority of Jewish households earn less than $100k. And when one considers that Jews live in cities (or surrounding suburbs) where the COL is high, that sub-$100k provides a basic, middle-class lifestyle. (According to DCUM, it's slumming.)

In Israel maybe , in America not so much .

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but the implication of what you are saying is that Jews, unlike blacks, can't immediately be identified by skin color. That may be true, but skin color is not the sole means of identification. The Nation of Islam member who called Elissa Silverman a "fake Jew" had no trouble identifying her. Indeed, anti-Semites have made a virtual science of ways to identify Jews. Maybe you are familiar with their practice of putting ((( ))) around the Twitter handles of people they identify as Jews?

Jews can’t be identified like African Americans , I don’t think the use of the ‘may be true’ is necessary as if it’s debatable . As for Twitter I’m not on it .

Who doesn't love a good semantic argument? I'm up for this. In a crowd of 100 people with various shades of dark skin, how will you distinguish the African-Americans from the Ghanians, Somalis, and Malians?

How are Jews identifiable? Some look like Europeans others look like middle easterners. Do tell.
Yes, observant Jews worship together. Not all jews are observant.
There are "Jewish" schools, but just like Gonzaga, Sidwell, St Albans or DeMatha, not all students are of the religion of the school.
Identifiable clothes? Ph, you mean Hasidic Jews? There are like, what, 10,000 of those in the US. The rest wear clothes from the Gap or the Nike store or whatever you are likely wearing.
I cannot think of an all-Jewish neighborhood outside of parts of Brooklyn or the Suffern, NY area. Do tell, what are the "Jewish" neighborhoods in DC?
Did you know that there are non-Jewish people named Bernstein and Schwartz?

Your post reeks of ignorance.

OP here. I didn't know that about the ((( ))). SMH.

And speaking of Elisa Silverman, did Trayon ever come to her defense after that horrendous onslaught from the Farrakhan wannabee or condemn the despicable words he spewed? Here he had a chance to prove that he is not antisemitic, following last week's behavior, and he adamantly refused to do so. In my mind, there is no question that his silence signals agreement and that when forced to choose between an anti-Semite and his Jewish college, he chose antisemitism.

Ok you know very little about Jewish people. That explains a lot.
