Unnamed Hasidic boys' journal #racist failedmessiah.typepad.com

[Formatting and links in original]

A hasidic journal for teenage boys that is sold in all hasidic book stores [in Borough Park, etc.] has published a rabid[ly] racist article this month. The article [which was first posted on the hasidic message board KaveShteibel spans several pages, and goes on to explain how terrible democracy is. One reason why democracy is so terrible is that in the name of democracy we freed the Black people from being slaves. Here's a translation from one paragraph of the article:

"—So some stupid Democratic ideologues come, and claim that it is not 'humane' to keep the sons of Ham [a euphemism for Black people] enslaved. [They claim that] we have to free them and provide 'human rights'!... - Master of the Universe! We're talking about lowly people! What 'human', when 'human'?! How can you compare these lowly people to civilized people?—"

Some more quotes:

"—After Ham sinned with his father Noah, with the lowest sin possible, God punished him with a terrible defeat. He removed from him the title 'man', and lowered him to a --- slave! 'He will be a servant of servants to his brothers'!—"

"—He was lowered to the extremely low level that we can call: 'a human animal'... And rightfully so!—"

"—His slavery is not a punishment for his terrible deeds, it characterizes who he is – it is a position that he chose for himself!..."

"...It is indeed not right how [brutal] some behaved against the black [slaves], but this does not mean that they should receive civil rights. Soon the civil rights movements will also free the animals from their stalls! [They’ll claim:] how is it humane to keep animals isolated from humanity?!—"

"...Most of them are nothing more than animals on two legs who walk outside of their stall.—"

"...All goyim are also low and shameless... [but] white goyim have a slightly more human lifestyle than the Sons of Ham.—"
