Me in a personal, untagged, year-old post: I stand in solidarity with jewish people! Yk Black ppl were also demonized and imprisoned during the H*locaust, so our struggles are actually connected, I didn't know this before!

Some chronically online asshat: what about Slav and Romani ppl. We were oppressed in the H*locaust too. 😡

Me: yea I know. I'm talking to my jewish peeps rn though. Also who are you?

Asshat: YOU KNOW,, AS A SLAV I WAS OPREST TOO. .....MENTION ALL OF US IT MAKES NO SENSE OTHERWISE

Me: DUDE HOW DID YOU FIND THIS POST

#blu babbles #get off my blog homie!! #for the record: yes yeah of course i also stand in solidarity with romani and slavic ppl???? #yall havent had a history of tension with the black community though. thats like me iterating i support latinx ppl. #like....obviously hello????? yeah???? #and in america ppl of slavic descent are about as oppressed as italians #yall joined the white social class some time ago. not to say ppl still aren't anti slavic in a demeaning way but uh yeah. #there's not much to report from me there. my one slavic acquaintance is also an immigrant #and i like and respect him. and think yeah he should also have equitable rights and tools to heal from generational trauma. #i dont even know if i know a romani person irl. you see a few in south texas you can arrange us a meeting i guess #but yeah. uh. class wise they were poc. in a europe that didnt even rly have a concept of 'colored' vs 'white' classes. #so yeah. yes. fucking of course theyre important and have my solidarity. im vocal about including them in convos #and am quick to educate those who still use anti-romani slurs. #but again....that specific community has no history of tension with the blk community. why would i bring them up #i made that post in reconciliation with a book i head read by a jewish author with some.......problematic assertions. to say the least #and i was researching black/ jewish relations and ties throughout history. weve had quite a love-hate relationship it seems. #too many blk ppl are specifically antisemitic. and there are many ppl of jewish descent who are hella racist/ anti-black. #the other oppressed groups in the h*locaust dont necesitate conversation or a clear statement of how i feel. jewish ppl do #the post in question was made in 2020 but this is especially relevant now that i work for a jewish school.
