Serge from BabkaIt looks like the Melbourne Airport has put Eric Andre through hell due to a "random screening".<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-1jYpaMlZF/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-1jYpaMlZF/</a>This has all the hallmarks of racial profiling, and even if it's not, and it really is random (unlikely) then whatever they've put him through sounds awful and not like something someone should have to go through.I sort of doubt this is antisemitism based on him not saying anything about that, but... I'll call it Maybe Antisemitism<a href="https://babka.social/tags/EricAndre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EricAndre</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/RacialProfiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacialProfiling</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AntiBlackRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiBlackRacism</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/MaybeAntisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaybeAntisemitism</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/BlackJews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackJews</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melbourne</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>

Serge from Babka<a href="https://mastodon.social/@ViciousBabushka" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ViciousBabushka</a> <a href="https://babka.social/@shekinahcancook" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@shekinahcancook</a> <a href="https://babka.social/@littlemiao" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@littlemiao</a> <a href="https://babka.social/@dukepaaron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dukepaaron</a> I'm confused. The link didn't mention anything about Black Israelites. Instead it was about how Jews have handled race and racism, and the term "ultra-Orthodox" doesn't appear in the article either. The JTA has his website wrong too (unless he changed, it?) The correct address is <a href="https://manishtana.me/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://manishtana.me/</a> and he doesn't use the term ultra-Orthodox anywhere on the site that I saw, nor did I see anything about Hebrew Israelites.I agree that many Black Israelites do say very hateful, antisemitic things, and that's a problem, but I don't see the connection between that group and Black Jews of today.As for the history of Hebrew Israelites as a group, Unpacked did a great video about them a while back:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybwLEt4jK5U" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybwLEt4jK5U</a>As the host mentions, there have been Jews in Africa, though not often discussed:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWXz-ql3m5k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWXz-ql3m5k</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6caTg2Xovlg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6caTg2Xovlg</a><a href="https://babka.social/tags/BlackJews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackJews</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewdiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewdiverse</a>

sheepchaseI am not a representative of <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Babka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Babka</a> but I would like to see Jews of Color and allies feel welcome and participate in the space.

greeen 🌳It's been clear for a while that there's a hardcore campaign underway on <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitter</a> to turn <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Black</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jewish</a> communities in the <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> against one another. <a href="https://journa.host/@SorayaMcDonald" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SorayaMcDonald</a> is a great follow on the importance of resisting these efforts, even though she seems to be just porting over tweets so far.
