@CassadyF Let's try again, since you don't seem to understand Cassady. My mother worries that if I wear large signs of being Jewish - shirts with Hebrew, larger pendants - or carry the awesome bag with Hebrew she just got me from Israel, I'll be murdered by an anti-Semite.
@CassadyF this is partly because of conspiracy theories that Farrakhan and his followers spout. So you're being a good ally to POC, by throwing Jews under the bus. This creates more division; I start to wonder who I can trust.
@CassadyF You, as a good white ally, are calling to not be divisive by ignoring anti-semitism and giving POC, particularly WOC, a pass on everything. Guess what? I'll pass. I'm sorry that me standing up for my rights and dignity and wanting not to be murdered offend you.
@CassadyF But I'm gonna be honest: seems to be a you problem, not a me problem. I'm done giving people passes for Jew hate because. Why aren't you? I dunno. But it seems scarily easy to shrug it off. I refuse to be quiet about being Jewish; I'm proud of it.
@CassadyF I'm also not going to stay silent and meek in a corner while anti-Semites get a pass. Also, you're doing Sarsour and Mallory a disservice when you excuse them. Have you considered the reason that people 'misunderstand' them is that they know about Farrakhan.
@CassadyF That is, if we know Sarsour is a Farrafan, and we know the conspiracy theories he espouses against Jews, perhaps we see her words when not clear enough as sinister against Jews because we make that connection? But, sure, pretend it's all a vacuum?
You tweeting about being a better ally is not enough, because what you don't get is you're no ally of mine. Not at all.
@threadreaderapp Unroll please.
