The Wikipedia page linked to literally says his mother is Jewish, which makes Daniel Jewish by literally any definition. Fuck you.
By that logic my mother is Christian because so was my grandmother; which means I too am Christian.
Religion isn’t genetic you know.
Judaism is an ethnoreligion, so, actually, in this case it is. Fuck off.
First of all, exactly what @if-i-am-not-for-me said: The Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group, which means a person can be ethnically Jewish without being religious.
Moreover, @chibi-blastoise, being totally ignorant of Jews and Judaism, obviously has no idea that one can actually be a practicing Jew and still be atheist or agnostic, and that there are, in fact, two branches of Judaism (Reconstructionist/Secular Humanist) devoted to practice through an atheist/agnostic lens. Unlike many other religions, Judaism does not require belief in a deity, and even beyond those two aforementioned branches, I even know several agnostic Jews who are Orthodox.
It’s likely that @chibi-blastoise is what we’d refer to as a Christian Atheist, somebody who has Christian heritage and actively participates in secular Christianity without acknowledging that it’s still connected to a religious movement, despite not personally observing it that way. For some reason, it never occurs to people like this that atheist Jews can also have secular versions of their own holidays. Instead, they expect atheist Jews to adopt secularised Christianity because they think their heritage can be devoid of religion in a way ours cannot, which is incredibly offensive and hegemonistic.
Also, just for the record:
“I’m an atheist, but I’m very proud of being Jewish.” Not “I’m an atheist, but I’m proud of having Jewish ancestors.” Daniel Radcliffe says he’s proud of being Jewish. Being. Because “atheist Jew” is not an oxymoron, but rather a perfectly common, normal thing in our culture.
Daniel Radcliffe is an explicitly self-identified Jewish atheist and anybody who can’t handle that can die mad about it.
I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.
in 2009 florence welch said “leave all your love and your longing behind, you can’t carry it with you if you want to survive” and in 2018 she said “the loneliness never left me, i always took it with me, but i can put it down in the pleasure of your company” and that is growth
Half of the people who died in the bombing were children. The youngest of whom was only seven. Two hundred and fifty people were left homeless. When the bomb was dropped, the firefighters were ordered to stand back and not do anything to help. Police shot people as they tried to escape. And while the city apologized and called the bombing “unconscionable” the only person who was ever criminally charged in the affair was Ramona Africa, the sole adult survivor of the bombing.
Seriously, every single American should be required to learn about the MOVE bombing.
While this is going around, probably worth adding that Ramona Africa is currently suffering from cancer and asking for help with medical fees, gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/helpsaveramonaafrica
okay so when i was a teen i got a full ride scholarship to a really nice private high school which meant i ended up hanging out with a bunch of rich kids and i’ll never forget this one girl who’s parents got a divorce after her dad tried to hit on their secretary and the secretary revealed she was already having an affair with his wife and that’s why she got invited on all the family’s vacations
“The new She-Ra isn’t what I want women to look like, which means she looks like a man! The show has different sexualities and body types, what SJW garbage! How am I supposed to jack off to this?”
“The one black director of Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse is a leftist on Twitter who supports antifa! That means this movie is SJW soyboy propaganda! I’m boycotting!”
“MCU Captain Marvel doesn’t have an ass and doesn’t Smile Enough! Brie Larson is an SJW with a cunty looking face! And why does this Marvel Rising cartoon exist? This is just feminazi shit like in the comics!”
“Star Wars is about Mary Sues and SJW shit now! It’s ruined!”
“What is happening to the entertainment industry?!?! Wahhh SJW feminazi cuck snowflake libtard soy ruining everything!!!!”
This just in: apparently the new Carmen Sandiego show frames Carmen as a modern day Robin Hood, basically taking stolen artifacts and giving them back to the peoples who rightfully own them.
She’s the hero of the story even though she’s publicly perceived as a criminal by most law enforcement agencies.
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles Morales is a biracial African American AND Hispanic Boy
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles has two supportive Black Males in his life before Peter B. Parker shows up, that are there for him and wants to help him find what he wants to be in life and believes this boy can do great things
Don’t sleep on the fact that he’s also got an Amazing supportive Hispanic Mother who knows when her son needs a breather from whatever stress he’s going through and doesn’t push
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles has two supportive parents who only want what’s best for him and is willing to give him the space when he needs it and will be there when he’s ready
(It may not seem like a big deal but most kids can’t even get THAT)
Oh yeah and his Dad’s a Police Officer and Moms a Nurse(I just LOVED that)
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles Morales is fluent in Spanish too and is a loved member in his little community of Brooklyn that’s blooming with all races
Don’t sleep on the fact that Miles didn’t win some “lottery” to get into that private school, he ACED the entrance exams AND purposely tried to flunk tests by picking nothing but wrong answers because he KNEW the right answers so he could go back to the school with his community
Don’t sleep on the fact that this boy was able to do what he didn’t even know was possible when the time was right because he just knew
Don’t sleep on the fact that what makes Spider-Man so Amazing and important was that his mask let everyone think that it was possible that it could be someone like them under that mask
