What the fukk does that have to do with anything :gucci:

She framed her original comment as though she supported black people's fight against injustice when she has strongly being anti black and black activism the entire time

Overwhelming majority of those that were actually in the streets/trenches with black people from the civil rights in the 60's to BLM in Missouri to George Floyd are young white leftists/progressives/yippies and guess which side the same people support in the Israel Palestine conflict

Hint, it isn't the side that colonises, ethnically cleanses,practises apartheid and carpet bombs civilians including women and children

I asked that because of the way she responded to the twitter... I didnt know if she's trolling a bot or an actual jewish person.. that's all...:beli: these days you never know...

:skip: I have a degree in classical history. I got the reference. I know everything you just said and assume any well educated black adult (whether formally or self- taught) would be familiar with most of it as well.

And, yes, these people are racist af. :dahell:

If you know all that then why say kushi is their n-word. It's like saying when the royal family wore those moors head medallions during Meghan Markle's wedding that it was blackface when in reality moors heads are an ode to the Moors ruling Europe and are actually a positive thing rather than negative.

Kushi just means black. The person who did the translation was trying to misguided audiences into thinking it was a disparaging term when that couldn't be farther from the truth.

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? :coffee:
