@MainLineMaven @Tristanshouts @JHWeissmann I'm really not even sure what we're discussing anymore. I asked Weissman what discourse he was referring to and now we're here. I hope you have a good evening. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts I've written several times in this thread that Anne Frank was not considered white in Germany and you can't apply US concept of race to Nazi Germany. You're choosing to ignore that so you can perform outrage and yet won't answer my simple question. I'm not responding anymore. — PolitiTweet.org

@MainLineMaven @hagaroo47 @Tristanshouts @JHWeissmann I think it's obvious that Black, Asian and dark-skinned Jews do not get accused of having white privilege. — PolitiTweet.org

@Tristanshouts I notice you refuse to answer this. Have a good one. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@bleiby527 @JHWeissmann Yes. But again, that's not anti-Semitic. That's being ignorant of how race works and how it's rules are not static. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts The tweet asked about discourse because I do believe saying *Anne Frank* benefited from white privilege is a fringe view, I also called it ignorant and ridiculous, which you're ignoring because you want to argue and make a point I'm not making. So I'm signing off. — PolitiTweet.org

@NewbieHoward @Tristanshouts @JHWeissmann What? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts This is a sincere question because I honestly do not know: How is calling Anne Frank white anti-Semitic? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@DawgsWillHunt @Tristanshouts I keep asking what was meant, I keep not getting an answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts @DawgsWillHunt Yes. But what I can't tell is are you arguing about the Anne Frank comment or are you calling anti-Semitic any acknowledgment that *in the context of the US* many Jewish people are racialized as white and can benefit from whiteness while also suffering from anti-Semitism? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts Are you intentionally ignoring my question? And why are you quote tweeting? Saying it's a common discourse of the left does not tell me what is the discourse we're speaking of. — PolitiTweet.org

@pdnell @Tristanshouts @JHWeissmann Wish what were random? Saying Anne Frank benefited from white privilege? — PolitiTweet.org

Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

@Tristanshouts @JHWeissmann These two things are not the same, and again, accusing Anne Frank of benefiting from whites privilege in Nazi Germany is nothing more than a fringe opinion from some rando on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShuForCongress @ElieNYC There were no political parties when slavery began in the US and in fact, by the time Democrats became the first political party in 1828, no new Africans has been legally brought here for slavery for two decades. But of course, no need for facts. — PolitiTweet.org
