There is a lot of anti-Semitism in New York now Tom Send a noteboard - 11/08/2020 09:23:20 PM

It's just that it's almost exclusively coming from the Left, and a large amount of it comes from the black community, so of course no one is going to talk about it other than the NY Post.

As an anecdotal point, I was going to lunch with a colleague after an appearance in Federal court and we took a yellow cab from downtown to Midtown. I was talking about some of the Russia-Ukraine issues and told my friend how a Ukrainian schoolbook claims that "thousands of Ukrainians were killed at Baby Yar" and how misleading that is (yes, they lived in Ukraine, but they were Jewish).

The taxi driver, who was black, actually interrupted to tell us that the Jews suffered because "some of them" were controlling finance and "they" (presumably now all of them) refused to help Germany in World War I and actually hurt them, and then refused to leave when given the chance.

I couldn't help myself and so I baited the driver on, "So you're saying that in a way, the Jews stabbed Germany in the back during the war?"

"Yes, exactly," the driver replied. My friend and I looked at each other with incredulity.

He then went on to say that Jews were responsible for the slave trade, both World Wars, and a whole host of other bad things. My friend used his firm card to pay. I got out of the cab because I couldn't stand hearing the guy anymore.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
