People tell me all the time that there& #39;s no such thing as white privilege, or that white-passing Jews don& #39;t have it.

Been teaching (almost-all-white Jewish) teen for 20 years. None of them ever stopped and frisked. None ever arrested for pot. None ever had a gun pulled on them. https://twitter.com/redfishstream/status/1265708807071698945">https://twitter.com/redfishst...
IT DOESN& #39;T MEAN THAT ANTISEMITISM ISN& #39;T A THING. Of course antisemitism is a thing. Of course our whiteness is conditional and revocable. But we don& #39;t get traffic-stopped like this. Cops don& #39;t kneel on our necks. That& #39;s real, too.
I think that the people that can hold "na& #39;aseh v& #39;nishma" and "kafa aleihem har k& #39;gigit" at the same time can hold "there is antisemitism and it is real and present and dangerous" and also "at a glance, to state-sanctioned wielders of lethal force, we look white."
