Bingo. As a Jewish person who supports BDS, I am also thankful for the cited statement by Jewish Voice for Peace.

“To be clear, Davis has not been accused of any anti-Semitic statements or actions.” That’s true, but it does not matter now since the definition of the term has been stretched or broadened to slander those opposing Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. In that sense Angela Davis falls under the anti-Semitic…

You gotta learn to spot the “anything not explicitly pro-israel is anti-semitism” crowd. It’s a waste of time pointing out that there is actually no evidence to support their position.

Why should this organization give a damn about protests from a small section of the Jewish community that supports the oppression of people of color in Israel? You fail to recognize the commitment and history of Davis for what, some delusional idea of “supporting allies” that do NOT support you?

Thank you. The trolls came out in force for this post.

Okay??? So what? The movie wasn't. The script wasn't. The last few iterations of the comic characters are not. 

Why would there be?

It’s only “ironic” if you believe that Black characters worth rallying around can only be created and written by Black people, and if you believe that Black people also believe this, which is absurd. It also blatantly ignores the contributions of people like Christopher Priest (who is credited with creating the more…

What?! You created your account four days ago and have done nothing but troll. Felicia, you may take your leave.

By your own admission you didn’t give a fuck to begin with so, who the fuck cares WHAT you do?

You ARE our CONSTANT problems.

Yes, really. We’re past giving cookies for “speaking out.” 

Samberg was apparently born and raised in Berkeley. It’s possible he was just virtue signaling with that joke, and it’s possible he’s familiar with the history and wanted to make an actual point. The Golden Globes may have been a poor choice of venue for it.

Things will change and progress will be made but it will done slower than people/voter expect. I look forward to the CBC reps that will call out Trump and his sycophants on their lies and misrepresentations. 

The press needs to stop playing this dude’s game. If this is what he’s bringing to the table they need to get up and walk out of the room. Stop rewarding toddler temper tantrums.

Which probably means he gets handed a Texas-approved history textbook and now gets to teach the class.

This article is surely bringing out the racist greys.
