I agree with you very much about the KKK.
Thanks for your kind words. I feel obligated to speak out against antisemitism from all sources but am certainly not interested in pushing a narrative that Black people hate Jews and am certainly not interested in focusing disproportionately on Black people.
Anytime a celebrity of any background - especially one with millions of followers, whether it's Marjorie Taylor Greene or Kanye West - perpetuates antisemitism it traumatizes me because frankly it makes me fear that these are the beginnings of another Holocaust. If that sounds dramatic, the Nazi Holocaust began with famous people telling lies about us. I was raised by grandparents who lived through the genocide, and now I'm the father of a 10 month old girl. My great-aunts and great-uncles (who looked white and were perfectly well-off) were murdered in cold blood as children, and I don't want that for my daughter.
I bear absolutely no ill will toward any group; I simply push back on words and ideas I believe are dangerous. I hope you'll come to see this as something more than "crying antisemitism." Wishing you peace and safety.
