Jews, we need to speak out against DeSantis’ efforts to erase Black history

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Humanity obviously lacks adequate standards when such as yourself is included within it.

you need to go in for an exorcism.

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Let me guess: anyone who even mildly disagrees with you is either a "nazi bitch" or "hates humanity".


You might want to get some help.

no, just rosie o'donnell.

Eugenecists aren't a thing anymore. That was late 19th century. Check a calendar, it's 2023.



Because it's a stupid question.

wrong.

eugenics is alive an well in the depopulation movement that mass murderers say is about climate.

Oh grow up! There are a few vocal loons who want to "depopulate". It's like suggesting you are a Nazi because you vote Republican and occasionally there is a Neo-Nazi Republican.

You guys will literally blow ANYTHING up to a CRISIS won't you? You guys are the world's biggest DRAMA QUEENS. LOL.

Jeezus

Of course. All fascists and authoritarians need scapegoats.

You are 100% right.

[QP!]

how so?

In Germany, schools are mandated to teach about the Holocaust. Perhaps it’s time we took a page from their book.

It should also deeply bother and spur into action every Jew who has ever said “Never Again” and meant it.

As a community, we know firsthand the importance of learning from the horrors of the past — and ensuring that the wider public is educated about them.


This should be a ‘Jewish issue’ too
Yet this latest bill strikes at the very core of Judaism’s commandment to learn from history. It’s not just about the Holocaust. Every year during Passover, we contemplate what it means to have been slaves and are literally commanded to experience the holiday as if we are in Egypt ourselves — and then learn from it how to treat others.

This isn’t just about sympathizing with another group. Within the Jewish community, we have members who are Black and multiracial. Teaching about African American history and culture involves teaching about the history of African American Jews, and for that reason alone, we should see it as a Jewish issue.

DeSantis’ strategy isn’t new. Throughout history, those bent on inflaming racial and ethnic tensions, or those who simply wanted to use an easy scapegoat, have tried to limit how we talk about the past.


“DeSantis is using an age-old trick used to persecute groups like members of the African and Jewish diasporas; he is striking aim at memory and practice of tradition and culture,” says Michael Twitty, a writer whose works examine his Black and Jewish identity and whose book Koshersoul recently won the National Jewish Book Award.

When I reached out to hear his reaction to the news, Twitty cited examples such as Christian leaders in Europe calling for the burning of Jewish texts and American white slaveholders forbidding enslaved people from sharing their culture. “It’s clear that his war with cultural and historical literacy is pointed and intentionally devastating,” he adds.

Guano,

Aren't you the party all about erasing history?

[Lionfish]

I am just going to say what we are all thinking. When DeSantis is done with the Blacks, he would probably come after the Jews next.

You are truly a left wing idiot.

Who cares who is an atheist. Most athiests know more about Christianity than Christians.

unfortunately, in your case the atheist knows nothing about anything......just sayin'......

LOL....the False Prophet who violates as many of God's rules as he can with each post is telling me I don't know about Christianity.

You lie and bear so much false witness I have to wonder why you HATE God so much!

Wow.

Honest question: Are you allowed to occasionally speak truth?
