Let’s be honest. Hate has been normalized.

So perhaps it was a hate crime, but I'd arrive at that conclusion much more quickly if it had happened in suburbia.

I’m Jewish and this was my reaction as well. Getting windows smashed or shot up is a pretty regular occurrence in DC and I’d bet if you polled the dc population, only the Jews even know what Kristallnacht was at this point. I’m betting on coincidence until evidence proves otherwise.

Non Jew here, knows about kristallnacht but not what month it took place. It isn’t common knowledge to know the exact date. That doesn’t negate the fear op must have felt. My first thought was that if someone is so hateful to research a tragic event and terrorize someone on the anniversary date of that event, there would probably be an obvious image or words. Sad to think about someone trying to reenact hate. Why are people saying there is antisemitism in this thread?

A non-Jew here:


If you hate Jews enough to study up on the date of Krystallnacht, and then go a recreate the exact same thing as Krystallnacht, then it’s really not hard to conclude that this was an anti-Jewish attack. The act itself IS the acknowledgment - there doesn’t need to be graffiti or a note saying “I did this because I hate Jews and tonight is the anniversary of Krystallnacht”.


If you saw a cross burning on the lawn of your black neighbor down the street, would you wonder what that was about? Or would a burning cross on the lawn of a black family allow you to flow-chart what was going on?

We all already know the answer. But for some reason, you seem to reserve judgement when the victims are Jews.

A burning cross is unambiguous. Windows are smashed every single day without racist intent. You are making a bad comparison.

DP. So then, if windows were smashed at a black-owned business, or a Muslim-owned business, you'd say it was just random and not a targeted hate crime. Right?

Almost…..close, but not quite. Needs a little more cowbell:

“Black or Muslim owned businesses, on the anniversary of a night historically associated with the smashing of windows of black and Muslim owned businesses.”


I can assure you, anyone suggesting that was just “random urban crime” in that scenario, would be called a racist on-par with the person(s) who smashed the windows in the first place.

Uh, okay. You definitely sound like an expert.

Schrödinger’s Jews strike again. To the antisemitic left they’re white colonizers. To the antisemitic right they’re brown untermenschs.

Stuck in the middle we’re Jews

No, there are two other groups who know about Kristallnacht:

- educated people with at least a minimal knowledge of history; and
- people who hate Jews.

There’s a lot of effort made in the mainstream media and liberal circles to maintain and continue the subterfuge that conservatives and evangelicals and Trump supporters are the wellspring from where the hate for Jews flows from.

But this falls apart after even the most casual analysis, which will quickly turn up evidence that US evangelicals are now some of the most ardent supporters of Israel. And Trump, with a Jewish daughter and grandchildren, is a major ally of Israel as well. Would his supporters even be his supporters if they didn’t also agree with his stance on Israel? Of course not. To be pro-Trump is to also be pro-Israel and therefore pro-Jew. They are inseparable.

I don't understand who hates Jews. Jewish hate is discussed pretty often in the media but it almost seems like it is said to exist but doesn't actually exist. Jewish people are just white people.

No, the hate crime charges are very useful. Do you want someone burning a cross on a lawn charged with vandalism?

Yes

A black race car driver finds a length of rope with a loop tied to a garage door to pull the door down shut and the social media world - including here in DCUM land - completely loses its damn mind with accusations of racism in NASCAR.

BUT

A Jewish restaurant in DC gets it windows smashed on *the anniversary* of krystallnacht, and DCUM shrugs and says there’s no proof of anything, it could just be random urban crime.

This is you, DCUM. This is who you are.

Your story about Bubba Wallace the race car driver is incorrect.

After being called the N-word over the radio and people showing up to his races with the confederate flag and NASCAR. was dealing with racial issues at the races… a crew member went into the garage where his car was kept and reported that he found a noose. Bubba only saw a picture of it. The FBI did an investigation and while they found out of 1,684 garage stalls investigated at 29 different racetracks this was the only one with a garage pull fashioned as a noose.

There was a noose but it was use to pull the garage door down and the FBI concluded it was not directed at bubba Wallace. Bubba Wallace only saw a picture of the noose when NASCAR told him about it, he did not report it.

Literally no one here believes this. It’s NASCAR. Every piece of rope hanging everywhere is probably tied into a noose. It’s the only knot those stupid F’ing hillbillies know how to tie.
