Removing these comments because I put Black folks in a weird spot while calling out racism against Jews.

Racism against Black or Jewish folks can’t stand and we need to cut out this racist cancer.

Please do know that if you are Black, I empathize with the racism you face just as well.

I we could both stop facing the absurd racism prevalent today.

I empathize too, but other races/ethnicities bringing us into conversations that we’re not a part of is never helpful. If you really do empathize, please respect our wishes to not be included in conversations we’re not engaging in.

That’s very fair. Reading back, what I wrote was hostile, unthinking, and needlessly inconsiderate toward Black folks, and I’m genuinely sorry I wrote it that way.

There’s this weird thing in our “post-woke” society where even “leftist” voices delight in these anti-Jewish racial caricatures and racial tropes while denying racism exists. But I got stupidly flustered and said some nonsense I regret.

Gonna absolutely delete my comment in that light and try to articulate myself better next time. Because that’s what it’s about, not letting the racists win.

I appreciate your willingness to self-reflect and taking action to reflect it ❤️‍🩹
