A Florida JCC canceled a Jewish author’s talk because her novel mentions slavery
Citing the "political climate," a Florida JCC canceled a Jewish author's talk about a book set in Virginia in 1811 that mentions slavery.
I think a lot of people in this thread are missing the point. They didn't refuse out of hate, they refused out of fear. There's a Nazi problem in Florida right now, a lot of them target companies and organizations that teach about racism.
The JCC isn't being a dick here, their being cowards.
There isn't a Nazi problem in Florida as compared to anywhere else. Don't let photos of actors in costumes and masks give you the wrong impression. Surprisingly, this was Boyton Beach which has a very strong Jewish community around it. Normally they wouldn't care if this had disturbed someone.
Dude I've lived in Florida all my life. Trust me we have a Nazi problem. Shit has only gotten worse the past decade. It's just actually being televised now because it's becoming more of a main stream current issue. But I've seen this shit sense i was a kid.
If you think those videos your seeing are actors, my friend you have too much faith in humanity. I have old friends from highschool that I wouldn't be surprised to find out they were part of those groups. People are hateful, spiteful people, especially here in Florida where it's reinforced by community and now law.
You have evidence that those people aren't Nazis? That they were actors? I know people who could make you pretty famous if you could blow the lid off that.
You're getting down voted, but you're right. The Nazi problem is national. From Florida to Maine to California to Washington to Wyoming, there are white supremacists finally feeling comfortable enough to come out of the woodwork.
