Black & Jewish in the News
The seed, Yoseph Robinson, is germinating already.
His untimely death has definitely put Black and Jewish on the map. The NY Times wrote a piece on the topic.
Now its up to us, the living ones, to prune and work it for the general good. Bezrat Hashem (with the help of G-d)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above article is very negative and victim-insistant. lol. There is another side and I feel its important that WE -the Black and Jewish people- must be the ones to show that side. Most people would have a need to keep up in the victim status mold, the nebech, the problematic mold.
It's not just us, there is a core group that needs many many victims to uplift their non existent self esteem. But because its non existent, no amount of victim will ever be sufficient. C'mon gang, lets beat our own iron while the fire is hot!!!
