isnāt it funny how he thinks itās his place to defend the guy who paid two men to hold a sign that said ādeath to all jewsā on the internet but didnāt think it was his place to condemn the worst mass shooting in recent history?
Iām sorry Mark, but itās one or the other. ether you believe it isnāt your place to speak on hate crimes against minorities that you arenāt a part of, or you donāt, but the fact that you chose this topic to brake your silence on and in this way speaks volumes.
ādeath to all jewsā isnāt a joke (and you wanna talk ārespectā? how about respecting jews? do jews not count as people in need of respect? cause lemme tell ya, ādeath to all jewsā or ādeath toā any oppressed minority is beyond disrespectful), and the fact that he even for a second thought to do that tells us everything we need to know about him as a person, and the fact that you think itās ok to even refer to it as a joke says a lot about you as well (and donāt think I didnāt notice the way you changed your voice, made it deeper, and used the volume and tone to intimidate us into not speaking out. hate to break it to ya but that only works irl).
jewish families have continued to be targeted by nazis. the end of the war never stopped them. anti-Jewish violence is seven times higher than in the 1990s, and 40% of racist violence is against Jews, despite them making up just 1% of the population.
and Iād also like to remind everyone of this
Mark wants to insist that no matter how bad a person someone is, we must treat them with respect, and basic human decency.
tell me Mark, do you think this man will treat us with the same respect that youāre demanding we treat him and those like him?
you say āweāre ether all people who deserve respect or weāre notā and let me make it clear if that image isnāt enough: he thinks we are not, and openly talks about genocide, as nonchalantly as we talk about removing mosquitoes from the planet.
you say āwe must take the high roadā, and claim itās hard because itās ālonelyā.
Iām sorry Mark, but it isnāt āhardā because itās ālonelyā, itās impossible because doing so will result in our deaths. (and btw? what youāre doing here isnāt āthe high roadā thatās taken a lot of courage to take. it is, in fact, incredibly cowardly)
it is extremely easy to blow us off when you arenāt the one being targeted, when you arenāt the one being dehumanized and treated like a pest in need of extermination.
you arenāt the one scared to go to your place of worship because today could be the day itās bombed with you in it. you arenāt the one scared walking down the street because today could be the day a police officer decides youāre a threat. you arenāt the one scared to hold the hand of your significant other (let alone kiss) because today could not only be the day that you yourself and your partner are murdered, but that show of affection could be the thing that sets off someone to then go and massacre your community.
if we lived in a world without bigotry, particularly this kind of wildly unchecked racism, maybe. maybe this could be a statement to listen to, or at least think about.
but until men in power stop debating my humanity and wondering how to best rid me from existence, along with everyone else deemed less than human, this could not be more ignorant, silencing, and actively helpful for men like richard spencer.
