Another actress canceled by Disney

But she didn't say genocide, she said 'beaten in the streets'. That's not genocide. People are misquoting and paraphrasing her. I thought Jewish people were persecuted in ways, other than the holocaust in history.

But she was using the beating in the street stages as a comparison to how people are being treated in the US now. There were beatings in the streets last year with riots so I thought it was a close enough comparison, before the holocaust of course.

But let's say using Jewish people for a comparison, is too harsh. Which group of people that underwent persecution in history should she have used then, without offending people? Would it have been better if she used African-Americans, or Native Americans, Palestinians, Algerians...?

Or which group of people are more acceptable to use as an example of being persecuted, without offending people?

The Nazi comparison was too extreme.

But I thought maybe the reason why she used such an extreme comparison, is because if you are trying to talk to people who are bullies, and bullying her and trying to get them to back down, then you have to use an extreme comparison, because anything less than extreme one, will not get through the bullies heads, because their skulls are likely too thick.

When trying to make a bully see their errors of their ways, you pretty much have to hit them over the head with a sledge hammer and yell "hello, anyone home!?", otherwise bullies will likely not take your comparison seriously unless it's extreme.

Or at least I thought that's what she was doing.

Racism used to be the norm and completely accepted in culture, which wasn't good. Now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and there is push back because it has become hypocritical and discriminatory to anyone having an opinion different from extreme anti-racism.

This the other side of the abuse coin.

First there was racism acceptance, which was harmful to anyone not of the majority race, and ultimately to society.

Now there is discrimination towards anyone who is not actively anti-racist, which is harmful to anyone who has balanced values and opinions, who values free speech and the exchange of ideas, this is equally harmful to society.

I'm hoping that eventually the pendulum will swing back to the center and we can achieve a more sane balance in the functioning of society.

I'm trying to see what she actually said. I guess she is comparing todays society like nazi Germany. I think I agree with that. I am raised Jewish and I would agree with that.

I can give an example. In the United States of America. There are 33% with Bachelor Degree in charge and controlling everything. 66% majority without Bachelor Degree. 66% majority are slaves to a system that 33% is running.

I apologize if I went too over the top in my argument earlier.

It's just in her interview, it's really depressing what she had to say, because a lot of people were bullying her and attacking her so I think her remark was really more of a final straw, rather than something she would just come out and say on a normal day, just because she could if that makes sense. She was just pushed too far I think, so I guess I blame her bullies a lot more, if that makes sense.

But after she made this remark and got fired from Disney, right after pretty much, Ben Shapiro (who is Jewish) has now given her a movie deal, so I wonder, is her remark really considered anti-semetic, if right after she makes it pretty much, she gets a movie deal from a Jewish celebrity?
