The ADL’s audit of antisemitic incidents was characterized as ‘misleading and dangerous’ for Jewish people while glossing over the most targeted group, Black people
Wow. I am so impressed with this very clear and educational analysis of the problem of hatred in this country. Gladwyn, you nailed it, naming it apartheid. Whte violence is normalized as some kind of righteous activity defending "our country." I hope this reporting is going to inform our thinking going forward.
The US of Apartheid in a nutshell: The whole reason prosecutors can have a focus on antisemitism related to Jewish student’s feelings and painted swastikas as a systemic problem impacting Europeans is because real violence and multiple murders by the police, racists, and Christian fascists against black and brown communities is treated as one off by isolated bad apples; including the orange rapist’s carceral violence manipulated by Stephen Miller.

That is my hope.
There's a great book called Carceral Apartheid by a friend of mine, Brittany Friedman that just came out in January. It's a must-read.
I will search for that book. I have been on a prison ministry team and this is a special interest of mine.
