[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Agree! We still have evidence on this thread of the very behavior we are talking about.....the propensity of progressive liberals to explain away very obvious antisemtitism - and who actually get angry at the Jews who are rightly pointing out that any bigotry toward  Jewish people is completely unacceptable. [/quote]

I don't agree that there is obvious anti-Semitism on White's part. Even you are unable to point to obvious anti-Semitism. He didn't know the Rothschilds are Jewish and was spreading his nutty conspiracy theory out of ignorance, not anti-Semitism. [b]He left the tour group because of the reporter and the subsequent article by that reporter demonstrated that White's instincts were correct.[/b] This is not "explaining away very obvious anti-Semitism", but simply pointing out that there wasn't obvious anti-Semitism. I can't explain away something that wasn't there in the first place.

Don't you understand the harm that you are doing by describing someone as being an obvious anti-Semite when he is no such thing? Don't you see how that sort of unfair treatment could generate a backlash? How would you react to being publicly described as a racist? Would that make you more or less understanding of people of color?

You are choosing to credit his assertions as to why he left the museum and that the reporter had an agenda.  Maybe that is true, but that is far from clear or the only reasonable explanation as to what occurred.[/quote]

His presence at the museum was complete uncessary . Overkill much ?[/quote]
It was all a show to demonstrate that he felt bad for advancing an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Thing is, he made things worse but not staying through the tour.

An analogy: a white DC politican makes an extremely offensive and bigoted remark about POC. To "make amends" and show he sympathizes with their history of persecution, he goes to the AA Museum. But then, he can't even be bothered competing the tour and goes for a smoke on the sidewalk. What message would that send, especially coming so close on the heels of his earlier racist remark? People in DC would be calling for his head. [/quote]

Stop using the black community in your false equivalencies   ,  your history is absolutely nothing compared to theirs , but if you continue to do that you would find yourselves even more isolated . [/quote]
Are you the earlier poster who said Jews better be extremely careful?

Analogies using blacks and Jews are valid in proving the point. Both have had horrific atrocities leveled at them. No need to try to get into who had it "worse." It's debatable, and that debate is totally off-topic.[/quote]
