Mel Blanc was born on this day 115 years ago. He did the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, the Tasmanian Devil, Barney Rubble, and Captain Caveman... Among others. Here's a clip from an interview he did on Letterman in 1981.
@Hadassah It is bad enough when groups of women turn out to be gossipy; it is worse when they turn out to be racist. #racism is not a Jewish value. You need to address this injustice #Hadassah
@Hadassah And again most recently the regional leader decided to write a letter telling the Black Jewish member to essentially shut up. She stated she is not going to address her complaint about racism despite four months (so far) of the behavior
@Hadassah So, the regional #Hadassah leader is going along with the #racist chapter president's behavior and most recently for 2 months in a row the Black Jewish member did not receive the emails that everyone else was sent about meetings.
@Hadassah She then intentionally embarrassed the Black Jewish member at the chaptering of the group on October 22, 2023. Then she began a very deeply racist Act of ignoring the woman's presence, refusing to speak to her and refusing to acknowledge her existence.
@Hadassah First the chapter president told the Black Jewish member that she could only present on subjects regarding black people such as Ethiopian Jews. She disqualified her from being knowledgeable about anything else. Next, she publicly shamed the Black Jewish member
@Hadassah There is no shabbat shalom in #Hadassah when it does not address the #racism in its own chapters. The organization at its top level needs to address and set right the racial discrimination being blatantly done by against a Black Jewish member.
โI seek to look back, not in anger, envy or mourning, but with a fresh eye, curiosity and some well-tempered admiration, at a handful of totemic WASP families who made America what it is, for both good and ill.โ https://t.co/VpDZazb5qc

Black Lives Matters protesters were overwhelmingly peaceful, research documents. When there was violence it was very often the police or white supremacists directing it at #BLM marchers. Read the research: https://t.co/tvNft8cwYP
As the violence in Israel intensifies after the unprovoked Hamas attack, a kosher London restaurant is vandalized. The Jew-hatred iis ramping up! #antisemitism
London: A Kosher restaurant vandalised.
It is essential to acknowledge that the defensive measures taken in Israel mustnโt be a pretext for spreading hatred against Jews worldwide.
There must be zero tolerance for antisemitism or any glorification of terrorism on our streets.
