Hey People! Stop Playing the Blame Game . . .
The Responsibility Game might revitalize our society, economy, and lives
Looking back on my Whoopi Goldberg article (she’s got a new “hit” today — calling out UK royals for the UK’s history of oppression — we can always count on the Whoopster to keep in the news in a way that drives people apart and upsets them while enriching people who don’t need another dime), you’ll see I had an extended conversation with somebody I’m pretty sure is not a Black person despite their ‘profile picture’ but rather an anti-Semitic white supremacist. This person was almost psychotically verbally abusive and their main point seemed to be “the Holocaust was the Jews’ fault — they asked for it.”
Sure.
If Jewish people had just acted more respectfully to Hitler, nothing would have happened to them.
I had another commenter on the Goldberg matter tell me, with all seriousness, that they were qualified to comment pro-Goldberg because they had “Jewish friends” and Goldberg was correct, that the Jews just didn’t fight hard enough.
Sure.
When I was raped at age 21 by a professor who sponsored the Claremont Colleges’ 5-college writing prize, I blamed myself. If only I hadn’t gone over to his house at 11 a.m. on a Sunday…
