Are you afraid every time a black man walks by you?
« on: June 01, 2020, 04:58:02 PM »
This was posted in another thread and it seemed a little off so why not a poll.
"...and yes in new york city plenty of jews fear they'll get beaten up by a black guy every time one walks by..."

Depends on how menacing they look. Nothing to do with being black per se, but

And how they dressed. I’d be nervous of a group of white guys also if they’d be dressed in trashy gangster clothing. And I wouldn’t be nervous with blacks dressed in suits...
Wonder if results would be different if you’d word it differently. Instead of “every time “ how about are you ever afraid

You might have just solved a great mystery. It has been asked many times the reason for anti-Semitism. It was there right in front of us all the time. The way Jews dress. Black hat, pants and coat. Why wouldn't you think they were the bad guys?

I can see on the face of the guy coming across me what he think about me..... no difference if he’s white or black.

I work in Brooklyn and Bronx and meet with black people all day, some are really nice people that I would even trust in Business, I’ve met white people that I wouldn’t wanto meet again even on the busiest Street in NYC in middle of the day.

Well, the last time a Jew with a black hat, pants, and coat was arrested for mugging someone or slamming someone in the head was... maybe never?

For the record, sad was going on the first part of your post. Not that second half, I live when you respond that you need to get out more. Just shows you have no answer

Not sure. That is a hotspot for anti-Semitism.
You are the one that brought up the stereotyping someone based on how they dress. Now when your own words are turned against you it is a different story.

Which question didn’t i answer?
Might not be politically correct but stereotyping works. Just look at how the israeli’s run their airport and how the TSA runs security in America. In case you’ve never been to Israel, I’ll let you know the Gandma doesn’t have to take off her shoes and get patted down

Basically wherever Jews can be found,
the more Jews there are, the more antisemitism

What about the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting? I don't think those Jews dressed in black hat, pants and coats.

What about the Poway synagogue shooting? Besides for the Rabbi, I don't think most of the Jews in that synagogue dress in black.

anti-Semitism unfortunately doesn't choose certain Jews.

Plenty of Jews have thought that it was because of the dress and therefore dropped it and tried to blend in but many have realized anti-Semitism in the workplace and elsewhere despite not dressing like Jews.
