(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)A Womens March leader mired in controversy because of her association with the virulently anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has attacked Starbucks for including the Anti-Defamation League among its advisers on bias.
Tamika Mallory in a tweet Tuesday evening accused the Jewish group of constantly attacking black and brown people.
The coffee giant said Tuesday that it had solicited counseling from a number of groups, including the ADL, the NAACP and others, after national outrage following the arrest last weekend of two black men sitting at one of its Philadelphia outlets.

The ADLs CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, was one of several national and local experts Starbucks had asked to consult on racial bias following the weekends incident. The others include Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative; Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; Heather McGhee, president of Demos; and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

(3,051 posts)They want the "woman's" march Judenfrei.

(35,454 posts)Destroys their entire message and puts a blight on something wonderful.

(3,051 posts)They pick a noble cause and use the money and soap box for something other than the stated agenda.
The Nazis did the same thing: remember the National Socialists were a vanilla center-left socialists workers' party in Germany. Had a lot of great stated purposes.
But then some creatures co-opted it.
The woman's march is a scam.

(35,454 posts)Most of it was attended by those who truly believe in the message, many of them Jewish. In my building alone several Jewish mothers took their young girls and attended in a good faith effort for change. Using a broad paintbrush for an entire group because of the failing of a few is unfair to those who hold no biased beliefs and destroys an essentially needed message.

(3,051 posts)But it IS, now.
Again, the leadership (at the top) and in the middle is riddled with antisemitic twits. And not "dog whistle" maybe-they-are-maybe-they aren't subtle stuff. Open and obvious banning and blacklisting of Jewish groups.
There might still be some fine people in the movement (just like there were great people in Germany, circa 1935), but they sure are sitting by while Nazis take their movement over (just like the great people in Germany, circa 1935).
The "I didn't know" excuse got old to me in occupied Germany, circa 1945.
I don't buy it here, either.

(53,957 posts)While she is not the totality of the Women's March, it really says something (bad) about the group when this person keeps spewing her nonsense and ignoring bigotry. It shows the failure of "intersectionality" in a bold way.

(3,051 posts)The great circle of the far right and the far left intersects at hatred of Jewish people.
There is an excellent painting by Marc Chagall, called the "white crucifixion" (somewhat ironically) that shows a very Jewish Jesus (in tallit) being caught between the the communists and the Nazis.

Very interesting painting for an Orthodox Jewish man like Chagall, who was obviously not a Nazarene.
One of his very few political paintings.

(53,957 posts)...with the approval of "some her best friends" who are willing to carry an anti-Semite!
The Anti-Defamation League is no longer taking a leading role in next months diversity training at Starbucks stores across the United States, serving instead in an consulting role.
Initially, the groups CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, was one of four civil rights leaders tapped to develop the coffee giants all-day anti-bias training next month across its 8,000 U.S. locations. The training was announced following outrage at the arrest of two black men waiting to start a meeting at a Philadelphia Starbucks store.
The other three civil rights leaders Sherrilyn Ifill of the NAACPs Legal Defense Fund, Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative and Heather McGhee off the liberal think tank Demos will still be leading the training.

But, hey, at least she gets an award...
Tamika Mallory, the Womens March co-president known for her refusal to condemn the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, received an award on Wednesday at Antioch College named after Coretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King.
Mallory had repeatedly praised Farrakhan on social media, as well as attended rallies sponsored by his organization. Farrakhan has called Adolf Hitler a very great man and claimed Jews were behind the 9/11 terror attacks.

Starbucks has dropped plans to include the Anti-Defamation League in its upcoming anti-discrimination training after African-American activists claimed the group is racist.
Also, the ADL has always been accused of taking strong anti-Palestinian positions by treating criticisms of Israeli repression against Palestinians as being anti-Semitic, as well as calling the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, or BDS, movement as being anti-Jewish. "The training on [May] 29 can't be the beginning and end".
--snip---
Cat Brooks, co-founder of Anti Police-Terror Project, expressed a similar sentiment and criticized the ADL's support of Israel. The group announced in 2016 that it would not fully endorse the movement over some leaders' "anti-Israel - and at times anti-Semitic - positions".
Women's March leader Tamika Mallory is calling for a boycott of Starbucks tweeting Starbucks was on a decent track until they enlisted the Anti Defamation League to build their anti-bias training.

Thank goodness we have those non-Jews who are so willing to 'splain to us what is and isn't anti-Semitism, taking pride in their 'splaining and finding "some best Jew friends" to validate their explanation.
