Bill D’Blasio Warns "The Jewish Community"

[CountValentine]

Some of you make my constant attacks on Trump look like kids play.

[Redbull3]

Lol. Saying you apologized or even having MSM say you apologized, doesn't mean you apologized.

"I regret if the way I say it in any way gave people a feeling of being treated the wrong way — it was not my intention," de Blasio said at his daily coronavirus press briefing Wednesday. "It was said with love, but it was tough love."

ETA:
Me, "Hey CV, you disgusting miserable excuse for a slave."
CV, "That's not nice, apologize!"
Me, "I'm sorry if that offends you."

See how that's not an apology? An apology is stating what you did wrong, owning up and taking responsibility, not putting the onus on the victim for "being offended". The most important part of an apology is pledging you won't make the same mistake. On the same day of his supposed apology, cops were targetting Jews.

Got it. Let me be clear. He was apologizing for the words he used, not the action he took.

I'm with you Yehuda57 on this one. It's not a real apology "for the words he used" when it's worded like that.
Furthermore, imho, it's not even enough for him to apologize for the words. Like let's say instead of Jewish Community he said "a small minority of chasidim in williamsburg" or something (which would at least be accurate), that would still be a horrible tweet for 3 reasons:
1. It was a pre-approved event, the NYPD were involved in setting it up, so why are the citizens getting all the blame and not his own office/NYPD?
2. He's still picking on a couple citizens in Williamsburg when thousands of other New Yorkers did the same thing in parks across the city that same day
3. He is bringing religion into this which will just stoke tensions and blame

Yup. He hasn't even addressed 1 and 2, and he spoke about putting the cops at risk when the NYPD approved the event. And reporters are not even pushing him on that part of things

When someone talks about Jews is it a race, religion, nationality or something else?

All of the above.

[CountValentine]

All of the above.

Doesn't work that way. Then you just pick and choose each time to fit your argument.
Pick one or I will invalidate all your arguments.

Not sure and not sure how it's relevant to my points; whatever we are, we're being blamed by growing numbers of people thanks in part to that tweet.

That depends on the context. Jews can refer to an ethnicity or members of a religion. It is often to refer to a subset within a religion.

I am just trying to figure out who "we" is when you say "we are".
I have Jewish cousins that live in LA. I don't think the tweet effected them at all.

Had he said, "my message to the Black community in East New York" would that have affected black cousins of yours in LA?

Because of geographics or religious affiliation?

I don't have black cousins so I can't answer that one.
Now if there was a problem with a black funeral he just went to the day before I would know exactly who he was talking about.

[CountValentine]

Probably both.

So that’s where CM got his alias, stole it from the cousins

He was given it by a member here.

Shouldn't this go before the grand jury first?
