This part of Rabbi Wolpe’s resignation tweet resonates with me. I have been saying the same thing about the CRT/anti-racism/woke vibe in regard to less fortunate “white” Americans for a long time.

“the ideology that works only along axes of oppression and places [Whites] as oppressors and therefore intrinsically evil, is itself evil. Ignoring [White] suffering is evil. Belittling or denying the [poor white] experience, … is a vast and continuing catastrophe.”

That was my edited version to what I’m seeing as an inherent source of unity, not division. Here’s the unedited version:

“However, the system at Harvard along with the ideology that grips far too many of the students and faculty, the ideology that works only along axes of oppression and places Jews as oppressors and therefore intrinsically evil, is itself evil. Ignoring Jewish suffering is evil. Belittling or denying the Jewish experience, including unspeakable atrocities, is a vast and continuing catastrophe.”

I guess I have given up
On being recognized
As the former Buddha.

Does that mean
I have given up
Entirely?

Hmmm.
Maybe
Not.

I told you all
What I was doing
Before and while
Doing it.
From the fires
In 2017
To the one
That consumed
Our house
In 2018.
Before,
And during.
I told you.
Is it
After yet?

How can one deny
And grasp for
Responsibility
In one moment?

We are all the leaves of one tree
We are all the leaves of one tree
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the leaves of one tree.

We are all the waves of one sea
We are all the waves of one sea
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the waves of one sea.

We are all the stars of one sky
We are all the stars of one sky
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the stars of one sky.

We are all the leaves of one tree
We are all the waves of one sea
The time has come for all to live as one
We are all the stars of one sky.
