Thank you so much for this excellent analysis of the growing rift between Blacks and Jews. It wasn’t always like this, I’m old enough to know that. I will share your beautifully reasoned and heartfelt words with all my Jewish communities.
Thank you for this! As a Jew myself I will strive to be worthy of your high esteem and benefit of the doubt.
I also want to point anyone who might see this to a recent post by a Jewish writer I saw via Reddit that made me aware of a coordinated white supremacist campaign to pit Black people and Jews against each other: https://eladnehorai.substack.com/p/neo-nazis-are-using-twitter-to-divide Scary stuff.
One of the best dissertations/explanations I have read thus far.
As a proud Jew, I applaud you and hope the day comes within my lifetime when instead of being labeled a Jew or a Black, that we’re all just called “people” in common vernacular.
JoDavi, thank you so much for writing this note and for the wise thoughts and suggestions. As a Jew and someone who wants to work harder to support all minority populations, it is heartwarming to feel supported by the Black community and to seek to do the same in response. Bravo!
A perfect response to Dave’s slippery monologue. He did address the topics without really addressing them and, I believe, he gave credence to them. You, on the other hand, Mr. Washington, scored a bulls-eye with this piece.
Excellent article Joshua. Thanks for your thoughtful and poignant response to the controversy affecting our society and communities. Dave Chappelle's "comedy" skit had some veiled messages in it, and during much of it, I was not laughing.
I hope your words get widespread publication, especially among the community that listen to SNL, Dave Chappelle, Kanye ("Ye") West etc to open the eyes and minds of their followers. Thank you. I will repost your post and thank you, thank you, thank you.

An article worthy of sharing many times over in this day and age.
Bro, name calling is NOT willingness to discuss. If you disagree with what is being said BRING a charge.
But just name calling is not going to fix it.
You can't just run around and brand people anti something when all they are saying is real truth.
So again, there is an issue between Black and Jew. Even Malcolm X said these same things back in the fn 60's.
Obviously Black people have zero issues with talking about it ... While the other side simply name calls.
There is nothing that will ever get solved playing that game.
This is NOT new...it's an old discussions and we going round and round doing the same crap.
Name calling and cancelling but never talking. It won't go away like this and it's sad.
The problem is NO ONE wants to "talk about it" that is what Dave's entire routine was about.
If you and your spouse or friend have issues with each other, but you can NOT talk about it, the problem gets worse.
It seems that Blacks and Jews have a problem, but no one wants to talk about it 🤷🏾♂️
Ok ditto
