A brilliant film emerged from these skirmishes – but its core insight still takes work to unpack. For generations, a persistent myth that black families were irreparably broken by sloth and hedonism had been perpetuated by US culture. Congress’s landmark 1965 Moynihan Report, for example, blamed persistent racial inequality not on stymied economic opportunity but on the “tangle of pathologies” within the black family. Later, politicians circulated stereotypes of checked-out “crackheads” and lazy “welfare queens” to tar black women as incubators of thugs, delinquents, and “superpredators”. American History X made the bold move of shifting the spotlight away from the maligned black family and on to the sphere of the white family, where it illuminated a domestic scene that was a fertile ground for incubating racist ideas.
I’m over 60 so not misunderstanding anything. And you’re calling Jewish people “national terrorists” is fucking nazi bs.
Gtfo asshole.
I’m calling Irgun nationalist terrorists, who were in coalition in founding Israel alongside Labor Zionists(who I don’t believe are nationalist terrorists). If you don’t think that label applies to Irgun you’re a whole hell of a lot more fascist adjacent than I am.
Being 20 years older than me and ignorant ain’t something I’m impressed by.
Shit, I posted to defend you and we weren’t even talking about the same group. I forgot about Irgun, that was another one. I was talking about Lehi.
They were very close to each other regardless and both are strong influences on the current Likud.
Israel… I mean was founded in coalition with nationalist terrorists so I don’t know where that’s coming from.
I hate to tell you, but this isn’t hyperbolic. Israel was absolutely founded in part by an ultra-nationalist, ethno-supremacist, terrorist organization. Founding members of Lehi went on to form Likud as well.
