In reply to the discussion: Is blatant anti-Semitism rampant here at DU? [View all]herding cats
(19,569 posts)Mostly it's not blatant and it's not rampant, but this isn't a site where one would expect to have to deal with it at all. Which makes it seem more glaring to my eyes.
I'm of a mind that the majority of people here have not willfully now or ever engaged is such. Yet there are some who have joined to add terminology to the mix which they know will be offensive hoping others will adopt it, and a handful of others who've never been educate on what is and isn't anti-Semitic. I'm sure in a community of this size there are also some real anti-Semites, although I'd like to think they wouldn't last long here, idealist that I am.
My advice is to think deeply before you post, and don't go off following someone because you agree with some of what they're saying without fully understanding all of what they're saying. In the end we're each responsible for our own actions in this life.
