F–king wannabe Ted Cruz is PR white-washing Texas history, while some us haven’t had a bath in an effing week! FU Ted “Cancun” “Lying Ted” Cruz!
Yes, FU! … Maybe I’d feel different if you covered the water bills of those who were on unregulated “variable rates.” $10,000 to $17,000 owed for five days of electricity, hello?!
Hello, Senator, who gets a pretty penny upon the taxpayer dollar?! … Hmmm. Ignorant votes or money, which is it for you, Ted Cruz?! (Anything that generates a “vote,” of course, we already know! No empathy and all whiteness!) And you ain’t even white!

What I needed was a Rabbi to listen attentively, non-judgementally to every word, and allow me to vent my angry mind. Instead, I got from a Rabbi “TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read)” and, then, an equally long-winded lecture in reply on how my perspective and words are wrong. That’s not being a Rabbi!
What I needed to quiet down quickly was just to know that a Leader of this movement gave a damn about me, as a minority human being in their presence. Instead, I got the direct impression from all the Leadership that they didn’t have time for me and, because I pressed harder for this time (yes!), that they found me to be an annoyance to be ignored. That’s not being a Leader!
My mind is now quieting, and I will shut up now. No more attempting to reach out, because it’s obvious now that I was never really a part. Just my wallet was, and my free promotions of the SHJ movement! No more of that, either, this was my greatest mistake. … Oh, and by the way: To be a teacher, you must first be a student. As a student you must seek to surpass the teacher. A good teacher is always both the teacher and the student.

Not one Rabbi in this Society for Humanistic Judaism (SHJ) movement has taken the time to say *to one of their complaining members* within the movement:
“Whoah, wait a second! What is *really* going on here? Where *is* this coming from?!”
Instead, the movement Leadership is so used to being attacked by theistic religious Judaism from the outside, that any supportive member who criticizes *from within* this organization is *included* as an outsider!
Hey, wake up call, SHJ!: Not all “secular” Jews are atheists! And not all *non-theistic Jews* are non-religious! Some of us are *very* traditional *and* devoutly non-theistic, and we choose *you*, because we are absolutely done with *prayer* Judaism.
Wake up, Society for Humanistic Judaism! We who complain from within (- until you rudely and abruptly kick us out! -) are not your friggen enemy! *We are your best chance of living up to your professed statement of, “We say what we mean, and we mean what we say” as non-theistic Jews!*
But, you must be willing to listen to *all* your members – without resorting to whitesplaining the SHJ movement! This is why – despite your kicking me out of the community fold – I continue to try to engage with you all. Listen – you, SHJ Leadership, have completely misunderstood my intentions, because you are too damn busy explaining your SHJ movement *to* me, rather than *listening* to a fellow member (until I suddenly wasn’t!). And I don’t care about your white fragility!!!
What I care about are *Jews*, regardless the flavor (denomination, orientation, color, or lack their of) who are victimized – *regardless* the Jewish movement that they happen to be in! I pull absolutely no punches and – absolutely, yes! – I am long-winded, because I am so *tired* of this daily addressing of Jewish short-sightedness in the USA! (And, being shut out for it, everywhere in these Western European dominated nations that I find myself in!)
A Jew is a Jew, yes?! I believe so!!! And I act accordingly! All Jews have a voice, period!!! Let me finish with this: There are Jews who exist outside of Western Jewishness, and we can be of benefit to Western Judaism! If only we were truly welcomed. I’m actually one of them.

When it comes to theology-based beliefs, most people don’t think that their joining a cult or have been raised in a cult, they think that they are saving the world. They think that they are doing the right thing, a positive thing, by pushing/placing their ideology upon the world – thinking that they are fixing the world, by doing so. And anyone/everyone who pushes on that belief is wrong! A realized enemy to their offered/established salvation. Is an aggressor and a threat to their (self-oriented/benefitting) salvation complex.
*Every theistic religion* is guilty of this extremism, but its not just theistic religions. Many modern non-theistic religions are just as cultist and just as radical as the theists in this world. Take the philisophical religions of Humanism and Qanon, for instance. Take the economic religions of Capitalism and Marxism, as well. Then there is the conquesting “white is always right” political religions. Where does all this cultism end, and real dialogue between humans begin?!

Rabbinical Judaism is a response and capitulation to the oppressive conquest of Christianity on the planet.
Just like Haymanot Judaism, Banu Judaism, and Yemenite Judaism is a response and capitulation to the oppressive conquest of Islam on this planet.
Secular Judaism, Atheistic Judaism, and Humanistic Judaism are reactionary responses to the political oppressions of Christianity, Islam, and Rabbinical Judaism upon this planet.
Then, there is Karaite Judaism, Cochin Judaism, and Samaritan Judaism that are their own offshoots for various reasons.
I can’t make the variety of Judaisms among the Jewish ethno-religious people any easier to understand, than this.

To my shock and amazement, the political Right in this nation is right about something – despite their efforts to take too far advantage of it now.
Cancel Culture is a real thang on the political Left! I know now, because I’ve experienced it firsthand. … Silencing a conversation, because you happen to viscously disagree with the *subject* and don’t want to see the conversation had *by others* – well, that’s just plain wrong!
I’d understand, if the subject matter was socially extremist in some way. Or, if there was extremist trolling happening. But, neither, it was simply not. None of them!
It is really sad when hate for theistic religion blinds you into hating all religious expression, while not even realizing your movement is engaging in religious practice. I’m heartbroken. Will I *ever* be affiliated – anywhere?!
Note: My “baseless accusation” was a *fact-based statement* of exactly what happened in the last twelve hours. And, it’s not the first time that I’ve had this conversation with the leadership!

Hmmm. George Washington owned brown and black slaves. So did rich white-presenting Southern Jews in the USA. In fact, the Attorney General of the Confedrate States was a slavery-promoting white-presenting Jew. So, …
I guess this post is right that G Washington’s democracy for white citizens only and white-presenting Jews will not be divided. Odd, though, that white-presenting Jews today venerate G Washington as a hero to the Jews and completely white-wash the complicated history of European descended Jews living in the USA. …
George Washington owned brown and black slaves. Jacob Levin was a slave trader in South Carolina and Rabbi of Columbia’s synagogue. Judah Benjamin, a Jew, was the Attorney General of the secessionist Confedrate States.
Hyam Salomon owned slaves. George Washington owned slaves. Hyam kept the new United States, formed by an insurrection against England, from going bankrupt and died broke for it.
Wonder what the brown and black Carribean and Ethiopian Jews living in the USA think about George Washington? A hero to the “Jewish people”? What are the Mizrahi Jews thinking?

White must be right, no matter what! Admit no guilt, admit no shame, double down upon the racist sins of this nation. Even Trump is a white hat Cowboy in the eyes of the white national Senate of the United States of AmeriKKKa!
This is yet another shameful day in the history of the USA. Are you confused by this acquittal? Do you want to know why white Senators refused to convict Donald J Trump of his public seditious crime – which they themselves witnessed firsthand and were victims of? The answer is:
57% of white citizens in the USA voted in 2020 for criminal (twice-)Impeached Donald J Trump! (This is up 3% from 2016, *more whites voted for him this 2020 election*!) 72% of White Christian Protestants voted for Trump and Pence in 2020. And, 56% of white Catholics voted for Trump and Pence in 2020. Despite everything immoral, corrupt, and seditious that he and the Trumpublican (R) party did over four years!
Now, with the votes in this 2021 U.S. Senate national show-trial counted, white-righteous justification for the preservation of the white right to commit immorality and sin in the name of the white man’s false god to sustain the perfection of white supremacy in this USA is given today, so that whites might do as usual and white-wash their history books of the seditious and evil natures of their white worst within this nation – which they continue to elevate, protect, and abett as needed to maintain their national supremacy!
Remember, 87% of black citizens, in a historic minority voter turn-out in the swing States, voted for Biden and Harris, and 87% of black Christians voted for Biden and Harris. Remember, 66% of Hispanics also voted for Biden and Harris. It is only because of historic black and Hispanic voter turnout in swing States, that the Electoral College was flipped to Biden to the shock of white Trump loving America. The violence and insurrection to follow is history that must continue to remain on trial now, through courts, legislation, and ballot boxes!
The worst part about this is that Donald “Bin Laden” Trump, leader of the KKK Confederate Neo-Nazi Trumpublican Party (R) of the United States of AmeriKKKa, will retain his paycheck from the people, will continue to be surrounded by the Secret Service, and is eligible to run for Office again – because the United States Senate of America says so – regardless the will of *the majority* of citizens in this USA nation!
White must be right at all costs and by any means necessary! It’s been this way since Byzantine Christianity (the source of racism and white supremacy) took over Europe, 1600 years and counting. It was this way when the Constitution of the United States was ratified. It still is this way today, 13 Feb 2021. Two hundred and forty-five (245) years after the founding of this white male Christian nation (through an insurrection, no less!) upon this stolen land by bloody indifferent self-righteous violence and slavery. So, what’s new?! Nothing, until demographics finally change.
And, Nancy, please learn to shut the f-up!!! You really *do not* have to go on a long-winded white-righteous rant everytime politics pushes one of your white progressive honor badges that you wear on your chest! You are NOT the true victim here!!! Everyone brown and black in this nation can attest to this! Whitesplaining is whitesplaining, whether it is coming from a Democrat (D) or Trumpublican (R). Learn this white folk, please!!!

And let’s remember that white voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump in 2020, in fact doubled down on their 2016 votes for Trump and added even more votes this time. Had it not been for unprecedented black and brown voter turnouts in swing States, Trump would have legitimately won the Electoral College this time. Hence, the Senator backed insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021.
