Maria, that’s a bit of a pathetic attempt to turn that back round on me and I don’t believe you misunderstood what I said, I think you’re wilfully misinterpreting it. I was obviously talking about the way other people justify antisemitism. So how you got from that to “Jews are to blame for antisemitism” I don’t know. It’s historically documented that having jobs which made them unpopular was used as justification for antisemitism, saying that happened doesn’t mean condoning it.
I didn't say that all oppressors were or are white. I did say that a significant number are. You seemed (I may be wrong) to be dismissing those. I am not racist
You made a mealy mouthed hint that is was “possible” that in other places “some” of the oppressors were not white. Implying that there was never oppression where white people were involved. And you’ve made it very clear you think the majority of the oppression in history was done by white people.
It’s simply not true. For a relatively short period in the past it was true. But it that is only one example out of thousands and thousands of examples of oppression in history. It’s a selective and biased interpretation of history.
And yes you are a racist. You believe in “collective guilt” for races or ethnic groups. That is the root of the nastiest types of racism out there. It’s a racist ideology whether it is applied to Jews, Muslims, black people, the Japanese and, yes, even white people.
Collective guilt is just about the most racist thing it’s possible to believe in. It strips individuals of their own agency and the right to be judged on their own character and actions and reduces them to the colour of their skin.
It’s exactly what Martin Luther King spoke about when he said he wanted people to be judged on the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.
