B. Usually I roll my eyes when people talk about the whole "Alpha/Beta Energy" BS, but this actually has me rethinking that entire POV. Sometimes just being brave enough to be yourself, whether it's in the deep south or anywhere else, takes a lot of balls. ❤️
Srsly wrt the south comment. Even there. Nawlins is the only place I've ever been physically assaulted for being a Jew (and somehow this blacked out Nazi just smelled it from the down the block and came at me out of the blue)
Leaving the coasts somehow sets you up for experiencing overt antisemitism. In Arizona, I was genuinely asked if matzo contains the blood of Christian children and I was expected to pay most of the time since "He's a Jew, he's got plenty". In NOLA I was asked to leave a bar by patrons with swastika tattoos. In Colorado, at a conference (they were from NC, I picked up a "fan" who wanted to shout Nazi slogans and do the salute around me after they overheard me speaking Yiddish.
I'm so sorry you were attacked in NOLA, it's absurd that we have to put up with this shit. I truly hope we can be free from this stupidity one day.
Yeesh, I'm sorry dude, that's awful. I hope you pressed charges.
I don't get why some people have to be such lame ass pieces of shit. Imagine you're drunk and surrounded by music and people just having fun, enjoying themselves and trying to mind their own business, but you just can't pass up an opportunity to be an antisemitic scumbag.
Yeah exactly. It was so strange. I've been a drunk dick. Never in that city lol
Appreciate you. Luckily I was already used to getting targeted for being the only white kid in the neighborhood growing up, so I dodged him until his friends tackled him. He was like meth strong, it was terrifying. He wasn't even bigger than me or them.
I had time to ready myself thanks to him screaming down the block pointing at me, "I'm going to fucking kill you you f****t fucking kike!" Kind of him. Literally right off bourbon. It was late night and off season wkd. Angry Louisiana bigot in city to party
