Opinion | Memo To Shaun King From A Black Jew: Stop Dividing Our Communities

Maybe you don’t realize this, but by conflating the criticism of you and Mallory with racism, you are suggesting that Jews who worry about anti-Semitism — most Jews, actually — are somehow racist. That’s not just borderline racist itself. But it erases tons of people like me, Black Jews and other Jews of Color, forcing us to pick a side. You’ve created a false binary that puts Black Jews like me in danger, and isolates us. Either we stand with you, against “Jewish folk,” or we stand with racists.

Nylah Burton is a goddess of the written word.
