I'm definitely not your mate.
But 'America's run by them' is a lazy, dangerous, ignorant, deeply racist trope.

Sydney, if you'd said the history of race relations between American Jews and African Americans is long and complicated, many would've agreed with you. But "America is run by them. No doubt" is indeed a lazy, antisemitic trope. Posters have been banned for less.

Wrong, it's an anti-semitic trope. Have a little time off to cool down. A repeat will lead to a perma-ban.

I’m not going to go down the judging route or name calling etc but in what way do they run America?

Do you mean as in they run financial institutions? Corporations etc?

Agreed but so was this comment a few weeks ago - a bit more subtle but based on an antisemitic trope that Jews ‘believe they are morally superior’ in reference to the ’chosen people’ trope. (I did receive a PM apology from Sydney for that so thanks Syd) ) but let’s not be selective about what is antisemitic and what isn’t - it’s not a subjective evaluation - some forms of antisemitism are a bit more subtle than others but still as harmful.




Why do antisemitic remarks even need unpicking?

It’s off topic from the thread and would only serve to feed an inflammatory discussion as to why some people think comments like that are justified.

Seems to be quite a broadly used word. Some black people seem to use it as a term of endearment, “My N…” etc


Other black people I’ve seen on stand up specials etc seem to use it as an insult, “I’d never date a N…..”

Or famously, Chris Rock ;

“There’s black people and then there’s N’s”

Weirdly tends to make sense in the context.

As we are all aware, there is no context that a white person should say it.
