History lessons in the US focus on the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to the exclusion of all others. Plenty of people don’t know that gay, trans, leftist, or non-white people were genocided.
They were the primary target and most Jews died in the Holocaust. That’s being said I think people of color who are Nazis tend play mental gymnastics to ignore the racism. I think it is the younger crowd who wasn’t hunted by hate groups.
The real thing to note is that Nazi Germany condemned large groups of people to die. When society is ok with singling out a group of people anything can happen.
Yeah, but isn’t he Christian? I think “Jesus Walks” was one of his songs. Jesus was absolutely Jewish and Christianity was a sect of Judaism for decades, maybe even hundreds of years. I’ll never understand hating the people that founded your religion.
It’s not controversial that today’s Christianity is descended from people who saw themselves as Christian Jews, Jews who followed who they believed was the Messiah. I’m just saying that there is no inherent contradiction in following Jesus and hating the Jews who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus being a Jew himself doesn’t really matter, since in this situation he’s kind of a special case.

Yes, they are both Jewish, no matter what word you put in front of them. Both Jews.
You’re right, but it’s definitely different depending where you live. I went to a high school in the New York suburbs that was largely Jewish. If I had to guess I’d say 30%, with the rest being a mix. We had holocaust survivors come to speak once or twice while I was there. I graduated in 06.
Our teachers did not skimp on any of that. The stats were certainly focused on jews, but they also didn’t leave anyone out.

Even white people. Slavs for instance. Anyone considered crippled. Political enemies.
Slavs weren’t really considered white back then. “White” as a social construct goes far beyond skin color.
“white” is a US idea. Like Irish not being “white”. Third Reich cared about Aryans, similar but different rules.
My mom’s uncle, white Norwegian, was put in a Nazi camp during WWII. History lesson.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called out this behavior back in 2020.
KAJ has been consistently based for a very long time.
Damn, mad respect for Kareem,

If you’re a Christian, you believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that modern Jews deny that. It’s not really a contradiction.
Again, it was a sect of Judaism for decades for sure, probably centuries. It doesn’t matter what you believe.
