A Woman Is Being Harassed On Twitter For Her Thread On 9/11 And Black History (in part due 2 a possible Twitter bug) https://t.co/06ORTe4VYG

Blacks and whites have different histories, different interests, different priorities.
“Talking to many supporters in recent days, there is a great resonance around our own history. My own grandparents were refugees in Britain, and I think my story is similar to many in my generation and my parents’ generation,” Paul Anticoni, executive director of World Jewish Relief, told the Post. “We have an empathy of looking after the stranger, and I think there is a desire to assist, irrespective of the nationality of the individual.”
The agency recently launched an emergency appeal for refugees. However, Anticoni notes that this is sadly not a new issue, and his organization has been supporting refugees in and around Syria since 2013.
Supporting the appeal, Britain’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said: “As Jews, many of us have family members who were refugees and our heritage must inform the way that we respond to the migrant crisis.
This is a deep and tragic humanitarian emergency,” urging the Jewish community to provide a compassionate response.
British Prime Minister David Cameron’s pledge this week to take in 20,000 refugees from Syria by 2020 has been slammed by critics as inadequate.
Anticoni says he is on the one hand proud that the British government has led in its humanitarian support to the refugee crisis in the region, but would like Britain to be a welcoming and open environment to those requiring sanctuary.
“I’d like to see our doors more open,” he says, opining that if handled appropriately, receiving refugees into Britain can be a success story. “We’ve seen from our own history the enormous contribution that Jewish refugees made to Britain over the past 70-80 years,” he says by way of illustration. “Similarly, communities from our Ugandan, Asian influx even from the European influx has strengthened parts of our economy.”
He highlights the importance of “helping people understand the vulnerabilities that these refugees face and the opportunities the bring – it’s a bit about understanding the complexity of the situation, bringing a personal dimension to it, because you can always convince people to change their minds.”
United States
HIAS is another organization drawing upon its history of helping Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms to lead the way today in helping settle Syrian refugees in the US. HIAS was founded for the former purpose in 1881 on the Upper East Side of New York City, but now helps refugees worldwide.
“Over the last 15 years, as Jewish settlement needs have receded, we’ve focused on broader refugee protection and consider ourselves to be a humanitarian agency,” HIAS president Mark Hetfield told the Post. “We are an agency motivated by Jewish values in order to protect refugees. Meaning, we protect them because we are Jewish, not because they are Jewish.
“Through our network of Jewish service agencies, we help resettle refugees by putting them in homes, in houses, getting them enrolled in English classes, getting their kids enrolled in school and trying to get them jobs.
“In terms of Syrians, the problem is that very few Syrians have been resettled in spite of the tremendous need. But HIAS has been resettling a proportional amount,” he says. This year HIAS has resettled 56 Syrian refugees, but hopes to resettle another 37 by the end of the month. “But since we resettle 3,500 refugees every year, we should be resettling more than that.”
New York Daily News: Rapper Lil Wayne declared racism dead on Tuesday, citing his white concertgoers as an example.
When asked by “Undisputed” co-host Skip Bayless about a predominantly white Westchester audience for which he’d once performed, the New Orleans native said it signified to him “there was no such thing as racism.”
“A lot of white kids love rap. Explain that. What does that say to you; what’s the message of it; what’s the bigger picture of it?” Bayless asked.
“I don’t want to be bashed, because I don’t want to sound like I’m on the wrong — if there is a side, but I thought that was clearly a message that there was no such thing as racism,” Wayne replied. “That’s what I thought that was. That was a perfect example.”
Many Jewish holidays are also gentile tragedies. Passover celebrates for Jews the Exodus from Egypt. For Egyptians, however, it represents mass destruction at the hands of the Jews and their God. Purim for Jews represents triumph over their enemies. For enemies of Jews, Purim represents destruction. Hanukkah represents the triumph of tribal Jews over assimilated Jews.
Usually in Jewish history, the rigorists win.
Different groups have different interests. A Jewish Hollywood is good for Jews and not so good for the Protestants who used to rule America.
Every major Jewish organization in America supports immigration amnesty because they see a multicultural America as more user-friendly for Jews. For native American citizens, however, an immigration amnesty represents the loss of control over America. Many Jewish organizations in Europe support hate speech laws. Diminished freedom to criticize Jews may well be in Jewish interests but it’s probably not in gentile interests.
@Night_0f_Fire is in almost every way a quintessential alt-right Twitter user. He supports Donald Trump. He hates Hillary Clinton and questions her health. He retweets the full spectrum of the movement’s icons, from macho culture warriors like Mike Cernovich and Pax Dickinson to conspiracy mongers like Alex Jones to overt racists. He calls Lena Dunham a “fat pig,” cheers the demise of Larry Wilmore’s Nightly Show, and bemoans the presence of “burkhas in video games.” He mocks Black Lives Matter. His tweets are fully in line with the wildly prolific online movement that has spawned Milo Yiannopoulos, triple parentheses to demarcate Jews, and the term “cuckservative.”
In fact, there’s really only one thing that separates @Night_0f_Fire — real name Sam Hyde — from the many other members of the angry, pro-Trump internet movement that grew out of Gamergate into a force capable of roiling American popular and political culture: Hyde has his own television show on Cartoon Network.
Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace airs every Saturday at 12:15 a.m. on Adult Swim, the 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. incarnation of Cartoon Network famous for its stoner-y animation and sketch comedy. World Peace, which will air its fourth episode this weekend, is the latter. It’s the first wide exposure for MDE, a comedy group comprising Hyde and two collaborators that has gained a cult following on the internet and a reputation for being hugely offensive.
Promotional material for World Peace winks at Hyde’s alt-right fans. “Celebrate Diversity Every Friday at 12:15A ET,” reads the tagline on the Adult Swim website. Press copy announcing the show promised that “World Peace will unlock your closeted bigoted imagination, toss your inherent racism into the burning trash, and cleanse your intolerant spirit with pure unapologetic American funny_com.” Though none of the three episodes that have aired so far have touched on politics or the alt-right, they have hardly been in good taste. The most recent episode of the show opened with Hyde, in blackface, speaking in exaggerated black vernacular for three minutes.
According to Showbuzz Daily, World Peace ranked number two among original cable shows on the night of its premiere, with more than a million viewers.
The alt-right — which attained its greatest notoriety yet today, when Hillary Clinton gave a speech denouncing it — has noticed the show. On Twitter, a steady stream of pro-Trump troll accounts have anointed World Peace “the only non cucked TV show” and “redpilled TV” that “will save the west.” A subreddit devoted to the show, moderated by someone claiming to be Hyde, describes itself with the ubiquitous Trump hashtag as “the Best Damn Internet Community™ on God’s green earth. #MAGA.” My Posting Career, the 4chan-meets-far-right-politics forum that helped coin “cuckservative,” is running a special “Faggot alert” at the top of the page alerting readers that World Peace airs every Friday…
