In reply to the discussion: National Womens March Leadership is Anti-Semitic, Apologize or Resign [View all]Caliman73
(11,764 posts)The post is about how Tamika and Linda stood there silently while Farrakhan said what he said, and how there has not been a strong response to the anti-Semitism expressed at that event from those representing the movement, who were there.
The original post was about Cohen asking for a response from the two ladies indicating their stance on the anti-Semitic speech, and barring that, requesting for them to step down.
The other responses from posters at DU were expressions of their concerns and experiences.
We all want to see our personal friends as above and separate from problems like the one presented in the article and post. Politics is a rough business. Rather than dismiss the messenger and message, maybe go back and take a closer look at what was being said.
People of color are always in a unique position because our experiences are never the norm, never what is accepted as truth, and we always have to have an understanding of ourselves in context of our environment wherever we are. That is how it is for people of color. There is no argument to be had.
