Something To Remember Me By. Black Boldness. Harvey and His Casting Couch.

These are some parting shots ( not with an assault weapon and certainly no silencer) in case our ship sinks so my liberal friends and fellow memo readers will have something to remember me by.



Finally, a little black boldness.  (See 1 below.)

And:

After the Harvey Weinstein episode, I heard there are jobs available for those who want to monitor Hollywood Movie consensual sex scenes to make sure there is no sexual harassment.

I also understand Harvey applied and was told he is no longer needed nor has friends in Hollywood because he no longer has any money and power.

Harvey was last seen laying on his own casting couch in a psychiatrist's office revealing how he
"made" so many female actresses stars and now they have turned on him.

Harvey is learning liberal women will turn on you if you expose their hypocrisy.

I also was told, Jane Fonda is his psychiatrist but confidentiality prevents me from fact checking that piece of information.

To my Black Brothers and Sisters: I am Black and Jewish. Farrakhan is bad for us all.

Nylah Burton 

To My Black Brothers And Sisters:

I truly don’t understand how anyone in a position of social justice leadership could support or excuse Louis Farrakhan (I refuse to grant him the honorific of Minister), and it makes me incredibly angry. I also don’t understand how people in the black community continue to support him. This, too, makes me incredibly angry.

Hold on. I’m going to stop you right there. Before you “educate” me on all Farrakhan has done for black people, let me assure you that I am aware and informed. Whatever he’s done, it does not and should not change one damn thing. He is a misogynistic, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ fountain of nonsensical hate. His anti-Semitism has earned him respect by the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and he’s entertained the idea of collaborating with them. He’s praised Donald Trump for “[standing] in front of some of the members of the Jewish community and [telling] them to their face ‘I don’t want your money.’”

Now, while I would love to treat Farrakhan’s lunacy with the flippancy it deserves, I can’t afford to. As a black Jewish woman living in 2018, your support of Farrakhan denies me that luxury. Because even in the face of all this, some black people are still out here supporting this clown. You excuse him, and now you’ve made him my problem.

The Nation of Islam is a cult. This may not be the news y’all wanna hear, but it’s true. It is a cult, possessing almost every negative connotation of the word, with an extreme theology based around a charismatic leader (Louis Farrakhan and the late Elijah Muhammad). Their theology is batshit insane, with mad scientists and a Japanese UFO that also contains… bombs? And as cults are wont to do, NOI targets vulnerable people, in this case, that includes black prison inmates who have been failed by our society. This is how cults operate. It’s how Scientology operates. In fact, the theology of NOI closely mirrors Ron L. Hubbard’s religion. Dianetics is required reading.

Ben Faulding, a black Jewish man, put it perfectly in a recent article in these pages, when he wrote, “[Louis Farrakhan] is an exploiter. He exploits the economic depression, resentment and anger of blacks to leverage his own power and status. He uses the language of liberation and the language of demagoguery in tandem. He is a poverty pimp. No civilized discourse or progress can move forward with him, or anybody who associates with him.”

It doesn’t matter what Farrakhan has done for black people. None. Of. It. Matters. The church of Scientology helps people out too! Should we condone the abuse and isolation that happens there because Scientologist philosophy sounds appealing sometimes? Cults pinpoint the anxieties and desires of their target group and they speak to that, but along the way they add crazy shit. Like… I don’t know… a mad scientist named Yakub who created “the evil race of Jews”? Complete obedience to a wrinkled old man who can’t keep it in his pants and extorts money?

Also, can we please stop saying that Farrakhan is being unfairly maligned? I’ve often heard from Farrakhan’s supporters some version of this statement, “The white media twists his words to make it look like he’s anti-Semitic, but he’s anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic.” Such a statement misunderstands Zionism, but okay, let’s put that aside for now. Below are a few of Farrakhan’s own statements about Jews and LGBTQ people. Does it really sound like his only problem is the occupation of Palestine?

“The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.” —Saviours’ Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98

“… Israelis had foreknowledge of the attacks… We know that many Jews received a text message not to come to work on September 11” —Saviour’s Day Speech, 2015

“Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women and women into men….And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled a cover off of that Satanic Jew, and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through.” —Saviour’s Day Speech, 2/25/18

And here’s more. If you can read that and still tell me that these aren’t the words of a hateful, homophobic anti-Semite, then all is lost. These statements are indefensible. Simply put, uplifting Farrakhan erases black Jews and black LGBTQ people. You’re supporting a misogynist who sets back black women. His hate literally pushes us out of our black spaces. How could I possibly sit and listen to Farrakhan speak without fear or anger? How could you?

If after reading my words and Farrakhan’s words, you continue to support him, then shame on you.

Shame on you, because for some unfathomable reason, you have chosen hate. You’ve chosen Holocaust jokes and pleas for women to cook for their husbands. You’ve chosen someone who thinks trans people are an abomination, and that gayness is a satanic Jewish invention. You’ve chosen someone who thinks Hitler was “a great man,” and considers being likened to Hitler a compliment.

The truth is that Farrakhan is irrelevant to me. What’s not irrelevant to me, though, is your silence and acceptance. This is what kills people like me. That’s what divides our community. And that’s why I’m so damn angry.

You say you’re not anti-Semitic, that you don’t think that’s what’s going on with Farrakhan. Maybe you really believe that. After all, it’s easy to see anti-Semitism when it’s dressed up in the form of a Nazi salute or Richard Spencer’s tiki torch. It’s easy to see anti-Semitism when you’re weeping at the Holocaust museum or at your favorite WWII movie.

But, I guess it’s not easy to notice anti-Semitism when the Jewish people around you are screaming their throats hoarse and bloody, trying to get you to see them — and to see what’s happening to us, Black Jews. I guess it’s not easy to understand Jewish fear, when anti-Jewish bias is the motivation for 62% of religious hate crimes. I guess it’s not easy to comfort your Jewish friends who worry for their safety in a world where a rabbi’s daughter was burned in an acid attack and a young Jewish man was murdered by a neo-Nazi in Southern California. I guess it’s not easy to see anti-Semitism when it’s in the form of your problematic Women’s March faves. And I guess it’s not easy to speak out against anti-Semitism when it’s coming from your friendly neighborhood cult leader.

Soros-funded New America Foundation claims “anti-Muslim activity” fueled by “bigoted” rhetoric, not by jihad terror

JIHAD WATCH, By Robert Spencer

The New America Foundation has received over a million dollars from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. This article highlighting its “report” on “anti-Muslim activities” is a particularly insidious example of how the Left works to inhibit and shut down all resistance to jihad terror and Sharia oppression.

The “report” claims to track “more than 650 separate anti-Muslim incidents across the country since 2012. These incidents include public denunciations of Islam and Muslims by elected officials, proposed laws targeting Muslim religious practice, mosque vandalism, and acts of violence.” It claims that there is no “spike” in “anti-Muslim activity” after jihad terror attacks, but only after “folks running for elected office” use “megaphones to talk about how dangerous Muslims are.”

The idea here is to claim that “anti-Muslim activity” is simply gratuitous bigotry, and if people would just stop talking about how dangerous Muslims are, there would be no more “anti-Muslim activity.” So at heart, this article is a call for restrictions on the freedom of speech, to end critical speech about Islam and Muslims and bring the public discourse more in compliance with Sharia blasphemy laws.

In service of this, the NAF presents an argument that is fundamentally incoherent. “Anti-Muslim activities” include “public denunciations of Islam and Muslims by elected officials” and are fueled by “folks running for elected office” who use “megaphones to talk about how dangerous Muslims are.” So politicians talking about the dangers of Islam leads to politicians talking about the dangers of Islam? Got it.

And in reality, why are these politicians (who? when?) supposedly denouncing Islam? Why is anyone calling for “laws targeting Muslim religious practice,” by which is meant anti-Sharia laws (which don’t really target Muslim religious practice at all, but only the elements of Sharia that contradict American laws and freedoms)? Because of jihad terror activity. So this study that purports to show that “anti-Muslim activity” isn’t a reaction to jihad terror at all, but to politicians’ rhetoric, fails to note the obvious, that the politicians’ rhetoric is itself a reaction to jihad terror.

What’s more, the whole idea that opposition to jihad terror and the elements of Sharia that violate American law is “anti-Muslim” contradicts the claim that Muslims in America overwhelmingly reject jihad terror and accept American laws and principles of human rights. If they do, then why is opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression “anti-Muslim”?

In response to all this, if they deign to take any notice of these points at all, Murtaza Hussain and Maryam Saleh will just charge me with “Islamophobia.” And the whole cycle will begin again.

“Bigoted Election Campaigns, Not Terror Attacks, Drive Anti-Muslim Activity,” by Murtaza Hussain and Maryam Saleh, The Intercept, March 11, 2018:

An upsurge in anti-Muslim activities across the United States in recent years has tracked closely with changes in the political cycle, according to data released in a new report by the New America Foundation. The report, “Anti-Muslim Activities in the United States: Violence, Threats, and Discrimination at the Local Level,” tracks more than 650 separate anti-Muslim incidents across the country since 2012. These incidents include public denunciations of Islam and Muslims by elected officials, proposed laws targeting Muslim religious practice, mosque vandalism, and acts of violence.

According to the data, these incidents have markedly increased in recent years, with public attitudes toward Islam and Muslims darkening significantly. But it’s not clear that these attitudes are being driven solely by acts of terror committed by Muslim terrorism. Several major terrorist attacks that took place during the period of the study did not produce a surge in recorded anti-Muslim incidents. Those attacks that did coincide with increased anti-Muslim incidents came in particular political contexts. The largest spike in the incidents came after the November 2015 terrorist strike in Paris, but the attack at the Bataclan came as the 2016 presidential campaign was getting into full swing, with Donald Trump’s candidacy propelling anti-Muslim sentiment into the spotlight.

“Looking at the statistics it is clear that the rise in these incidents are tied to the election cycle,” said Robert McKenzie, a senior fellow at New America and the author of the report. “If spikes in anti-Muslim activity only occurred due to terrorism we would expect to see more incidents following high-profile attacks like the Boston Marathon bombing and Charlie Hebdo, but we didn’t. What we do have are folks running for elected office who are using megaphones to talk about how dangerous Muslims are.”…
