Thank you for this. The idea that she was and remains cast out for the presumption of guilt is astonishing. It is all moving so quickly. The fear and hysteria is palpable. Even though we look back at the Red Scare and the Salem Witch Trials with smug judgment of the false belief that we could never live through something like that -- here we are, living through something just like that.
What shocks me even more is that journalists like those at Frontline, for instance, aren't even touching this. Maybe in five years they will. You and I, Bari, god willing we're still around, will be there to remind them that they stayed silent.
True Jew haters have no problem admitting it. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf years before he rose to power. His feelings and plans were crystal clear and yet Germans stood by and agreed with his premise that the true Germans were oppressed by the Jews. My grandmother worked in NYC in the 1930s and had to change her name from Seiden to Sedden because as a Jew she could not work. Her boss somehow found out she was lying and he told her she could keep her job and it would be their secret. That was here in America. Carano should be given the benefit of the doubt. They know they can't give her that but they have no other purpose than to use their power to purge people from the ranks. Her Holocaust meme (agreed, should never use them, I never do or would) was to the point of dehumanization -they took the powerful image to mean she was comparing Trump supporters to the people in the photo. She did take it down and that too matters. Intent DOES matter. It has to. If Carano WAS an anti-semite who hid it, she would never have posted the meme. If she posted it while being an anti-semite she would freely admit it because why else would she have posted it?
