In reply to the discussion: Starbucks drops Jewish group from bias training [View all]EffieBlack
(14,249 posts)Starbucks and ADL have both made clear that the will continue to be involved. They just aren't handling this initial training, which is appropriate.
Unfortunately, some people are running with the "Black people are being anti-semitic/Jews are anti-black" narrative - falling for a generations-old game intended to pit two natural, long-time allies against each other.
People need to understand that black people wanting to take the lead on anti-black racism efforts does not mean they are antisemitic. And just because a couple of loud-mouthed black people DO say things that can be taken as anti-semitic does not mean that all black people agree with them or that any objection to something a Jewish group does is, by definition, anti-semitism or in collaboration with those who are anti-semitic.
