We are living in a maelstrom of hatred, ignorance, and virtue-signaling that is breathtaking to observe. Jewish organizations and synagogues are marching in support of Black Lives Matter. White people are prostrating themselves like slaves “bowing before black people and asking for forgiveness for their ‘white privilege’ and the ‘structural racism’ in the deplorable, irredeemable United States of America.”
Anyone who is appalled at these actions is beginning to wonder about the sanity of this country.
Of particular concern is the apparent all-in capitulation by American Jewry as they engage in this feel-good liberal response.
An open letter calls on Jewish organizations to endorse Black Lives Matter.
The letter asks Jewish organizations, federations … to commit to fulfilling seven actions within three years. They are endorsing Black Lives Matter; establishing racial justice as an organizational pillar; having a fifth of staff, senior leadership and board seats be filled by people of color; participating in anti-racist education; investing a fifth of all grants in organizations led by people of color; creating racial justice requirements for grant organizations, including ‘a commitment to replacing contracts with police departments with alternative structures of community safety’; and developing a five-year, $1.5 million ‘communal accountability’ initiative.
The letter was organized by Lindsey Newman, director of community engagement at the Jewish diversity organization Be’chol Lashon; Aaron Samuels, co-founder and COO of the black media company Blavity; and Rachel Sumekh, the founder and CEO of the hunger relief organization Swipe Out Hunger. ‘We chose these proposals because we believe they are achievable and if put into practice would make significant inroads toward making the Jewish community anti-racist[.]’
Frankly, a burglar intent on doing well in property appropriation couldn’t ask for a better list of demands!
