It's no wonder at all since 75% of all the Jews in the South owned slaves. Their current SJW outburst are nothing but attempts to wash guilty conscience by projecting their sins onto white people.

Astute observation, and correct too I'd gather.

If you go back far enough you will find some of their ancestors were slaves.

Seriously I know families in Australia who's grandparents were those that were involved in aboriginal massacres. These people have nothing to do with it though, so why would we judge them. Its the 'sins of the father' and nothing to do with them.

Same for the white South Africans, same for most Americans, heck even in Canada they have BLM protests, and Canada helped run the underground railroad.

The context for this article is in it's concluding statement:

"My hope is that after taking a dose of their own medicine, the owner and editors will focus their efforts where they belong: on making The New York Times a great newspaper again."

Only way that'd happen would be a mass firing and new ownership.

Jews owned most of the slave ships, cotton plantations, and were the primary cotton [merchants].

You'd have to go pretty far back to find ancestors of theirs who were black slaves.

black? That's racist.

So could we say then that they're collectivizing the guilt about the slavery they participated in by accusing everyone else of what they actually did, creating a collective guilt over something they did, while still reaping the benefits of the money and power made during that era.

If you want to talk about "institutionalized privilege", this seems like a good place to start. Collectivizing the blame while privatizing the benefits.

I’m sure the NYT is already planning on handing their property to descendants of slaves and the American Indians displaced from the land on which their office is built.

Are the current owners slaveholders or were their ancestors slaveholders?
