A lot of people who had previously supported that video were able to see my point and accept my feedback. And I am really grateful for you all.

However, others took my post as me disagreeing with her valid arguments and perpetuating anti-Blackness.

While my solidarity work lately has been more focused on Palestine, my advocacy work is rooted in my anti-racist journey, specifically as it relates to Black Americans.

Therefore, I recognize that there is a long history of tension between Jewish Americans and Black Americans *because* of Jews’ proximity to whiteness.

While (white) Jewish Americans have a history within the civil rights movement, we have done much since then to perpetuate white supremacy and add to the oppression of Black Americans as a result; not always intentionally, but often as a way to assimilate into the majority white-Christian America.

And so I want to be clear about my original TikTok: I was not asking for anyone in the Black community to be empathetic to Jewish suffering, especially since we’ve got a whole lot of work to do on our end to repair the harm we’ve caused.

I don’t expect your empathy, but I do request that you be intentional in your rhetoric and avoid using antisemitic tropes that end up hurting all of us in the long run.
