    So your point was that historically some American Jews have acted in a racist way towards African Americans? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying there a history of racism there. But being a US Jewish person doesn’t mean you are necessarily a racist, which is what you seemed to be implying in your comment.

    And it seems so unnecessary, because presumably we’ve all read Jordan’s interview where he was more concerned about being inconvenienced by BLM protests than he was concerned about racial injustices. That’s peak liberal thinking right there, no reason for religion to come into it.

        I wonder if he would get this “benefit of a doubt” if he was not a “liberal”… Let’s say Tucker Carlson goes to say these things… w

        In what way am I giving him the benefit of the doubt? Peak liberal thinking was meant as a criticism lol. Refusing to address racial injustice because it’s inconvenient, or because he says he lives in a “white area” like Portland so it’s not a problem there, are both racist positions imo. He’s obviously never stopped to wonder why Portland is so white, or he doesn’t care. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/07/racist-history-portland/492035/

        That’s implication added by others, not what I stated, nor intended. Jordan Lund might be a crypto racists though like many “good liberals” be

        That’s what most ppl thought you meant, so maybe the problem isn’t with everyone else. But yeah, I’d agree with the last part.
