9. I don't use ignore because I feel it is more important to keep tabs on bigots spreading lies.

It is frustrating, especially when I see shit, if thrown at non-White persons, would immediately be seen as bigoted, such as "some of my best friends are...", "but this Jew over there agrees with me", "are you really a Jew given you weren't born one?", and on and on. Then there is the gentilesplainin' which is really fucking annoying.

If you want me to be honest, the reason I haven't posted much in the Jewish Group of late is because I don't feel Jews are respected here, so what's the point. I also don't feel safe here. I also feel there are those among us who would rather blow sunshine out their collective assholes than deal with the reality facing many Jews and I really don't have the time nor energy to deal with such pollyannish prigs.

This was sent to me by my brother, and it reflects some of what Schumer said, and, honestly, it is how I am feeling:



I know there are some good people out there (and here) who are supportive of Jews, but it seems, to me, another Holocaust could come along, and all we would see would be crocodile tears and whines "oh, who could have guessed that would happen again?!" I am sickened.
