I am both a member of a white Anglo-Saxon political dynasty, and I am Black.
“The Surprising Zionist” — that’s how some historians refer to my grandfather, Sen. Robert A. Taft Sr.
Oh my God fuck off. It's Meghan McCain "myyy fatherrr" but even more lame.
Based in Los Angeles, she is a member of the Board of Trustees for the Society of Presidential Descendants and Board of Directors for the National First Ladies Day Commission.
That's her job? That's what these people do?
Sen. Robert A. Taft Sr.
Hey, that's the Taft from the Taft-Hartley Act which banned solidarity strikes and made right-to-work state laws possible among other terrible union busting bullshit.
Board of Trustees for the Society of Presidential Descendants and Board of Directors for the National First Ladies Day Commission.
What the entire fuck?
"Grand Dragon of the Most Ordained Order of Failchildren"
That's what these people do?
I'd bet money she married a very rich guy and her vanity "job" is trying get herself published as often as she can so she can pretend to be an active member (an activist?) of the black community.
People can't help themselves saying that MLK would have supported a genocide.
Wow, manipulating 3-4 demographics at once in one headline, ballsy
tl:dr the Jewish community supported MLK so black people should support them back. Article ignores all current context and bases everything on this kooky assumption
Currently, Israel is in a war against antisemitism
The headline is not justified anywhere in the article
Do they think Muslims and Palestinians were not supporting black people?
Writing this headline in 2016 or 2020 about why black people are obligated to vote for Bernie for the same reasons and watching my computer explode from rage.
Just such an obviously farcical argument.
When Robert A. Taft died, he was revered by both sides of the aisle as one of the greatest senators of our time.
That tells you he was a demonic entity. Of course its spawn can't have even near a resemblance of humanity
I really hate this tedious, pro-Israel bullshit line...
The Jewish community marched along the Black community in the 1960s and in 2020, and it is now our opportunity to reciprocate. Our silence is complicit.
Also there's a mistake. That last word should be "complicity". I guess she didn't think anybody would actually read the whole thing. I didn't. I jumped to the ending because I wanted to skip the meandering filler which I always hate.
If the point of a post is a bad take, it belongs in the_dunk_tank
Keep this shit off my Subscribed feed, it kills my vibe
lmao and Raw Story is supposed to be a progessive outlet

Wait, no, surely not
ha ha holy fuck
I read this tripe to see if there's anything here at all, but it's exactly what you think it is. Crude identitarian logic that goes, Jews supported black civil rights. Israel represents Jews, therefore black people must support Israel. Not even a nod to what Israel actually is in the real world or what reasons some uppity black people might not support it.
Terrible name-drop. Most Americans only know Taft as the fat president who (allegedly) got stuck in a bathtub. Not even sure if he's still considered the biggest now that Trump's been in office.
The White House bathtub is HORRIBLE! My bathtub in TRUMP TOWER is much larger, and it doesn't leak!
Not going to read that slop, but I'm guessing it's that by exporting some of the US's most virulent racists to Israel we're saving the lives of black americans?
