White Nationalism Is Spreading In The Orthodox Jewish Community (2-5-18)

http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=120373 Anti-Trump activist Elad Nahori writes for the Forward:

Something disturbing has been happening in the Orthodox world. White Nationalist language is infiltrating our public spaces. It’s happening in our shuls, in our communities, in our schools, and of course, online. And those of us who see it are looking on in increasing horror.

There was always some racism in our communities, of course; we’d begun to address it around the time Barack Obama was elected president, when calling black people “shvartze” — a derogatory term for a black person in Yiddish — finally started to become taboo.
