Michelle Rosenberg: “We will remember the silence from the black community. We won’t forget!”

In early Modern Hebrew usage, the term Cushi was used as an unmarked referent to a dark-skinned or red-haired person, without derogatory implications.[2] For example, it is the nickname, or term of endearment, of the Israeli commando of Yemenite extraction, Shimon "Kushi" Rimon (b. 1939).[3][4][5] When William Shakespeare's Othello was first translated to Hebrew in 1874 by Isaac Salkinsohn, the hero of the play was named Ithiel the Cushyte (איתיאל הכושי).[6]
In contemporary usage, the term can be regarded as an ethnic slur depending on context. Though it has been compared to usage of the term ****** in the United States, this is not an accurate comparison.[1][7][8] Ethiopian migrants to Israel began identifying the term as a slur in the 1990s, at which point most Israelis stopped referring to Ethiopians with the term[citation needed] . However, cushi continued to be used in reference to non-Ethiopian people of African descent. This usage is generally non-derogatory; both Israelis in general and Ethopian migrants in particular use the term in this non-derogatory manner.[1] Whether a particular use of the term is derogatory can also be determined in part based on emphasis. If the first syllable is emphasized (CU-shi), then the usage is more likely derogatory. If the second is emphasized (cu-SHI), then it is less likely to be negative.[7] As the negative uses of the term have become more widely recognized, the general use of the term has decreased.
In 2016, Hasidic singer Mordechai Ben David attracted controversy after a video taken at his December 28 concert in Jerusalem, wherein he referred to US President Barack Obama as a kushi, was circulated online

Are we done here?
I'll never understand why black people are so keen to play the victim. Stop letting white people tell you what word is offensive and what isn't. This is no different than when the media tried to convince folks that this was racist.
Remember this? The alleged blackface incident when a member of the royal family wore it to a party after Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry. The media tried to spin it as blackface and all the victim mindset negroes started crying racism. When in reality this was a moors head that the Europeans wore in reverence of the time when the Moors ruled Europe and civilized them. The bytch from the royal family wore it as an inside joke. Basically saying yall think she's the first negro to be in the royal family when in reality the Moors started most of the royal lineages around Europe.
I'm sick of black people being so ignorant of their own history. Stop thinking that when they call us by our real names that it's racism. Yall are allowing them to rewrite history. Moors heads weren't blackface and neither is Cushi a racial epithet.

no I'm not prejudiced, but how are Black people supposed to support Jewish people when you can't even mention Jews without it being labled antisemitic
make it make sense
and another thing about the Jews, why don't they have that same smoke fot regular white people who don't support the Israel/Palestine war
Jews are just punching down on us as usual
and as far as Jews helping Blacks during the civil rights movement, Black people fought in World War 2 against the Nazi's, including my grandfather, so why are Jews acting like Black people owe them something?

Every other group has this tit for tat mentality. Black people have “morality”
We don’t live on the real world. We should be asking the Jews what have they done for us lately. Will they ride with us on getting our reparations?

Kissing liberal ass for your daily bread is not a life I want to live.
rastafarian Jamaican brehs got a passage for everything
Historically everyone in that region would be considered black with today standard western whites have
during that "time" frame that fable was based in they didn't have the same idea of as race as we do today plus "Moses" fit right in with the black skinned eygptian according to the fable just like Joesph .
also ahistorical Moses wasn't even a real person if he was probably most liekly based on an real egyptain preist
any way the LAW is just a priestly construct doing the 2nd temple age
a priestly order that used cannabis and other hallucinogens at their altars to EL/ then YAHEWH and Ashera then just Yahewh to trigger the "Voice of the Lord"
so the kingdom of Israel would support them so they wouldn't have to work the land for themselves
kinda like today with churches

Yep, and we have too many of our people willing to be such for everyone but our own people, at many of our people's detriment.Because black people are seen as political beast of burden

-Nah, fukk that. Knowing your history doesn't change the intent behind peoples words. How you gonna say the word isn't offensive when the white person saying it clearly mean it that way?
-Did she actually say she was paying homage?
