Examples of antisemitic dogwhistles are:

- the use of (((triple parentheses))) which represent perceived Jewish involvement in mass media, mass immigration, and global Zionism.

- calling ppl (specifically Jewish people) lizard people, aliens, etc. All of these lead back to antisemitic conspiracy theories.

-“New York Values” which due to New York’s large number of Jewish residents is used as a stand in for saying Jewish values or interests.

-using the names of well known Jewish people as shorthand for anti-government conspiracies, control over the population, etc.

- references to nameless, mysterious “elites” with no specifics given to who they are. Also references to a “new world order.” Both of these dogwhistles are tied to conspiracies that claim a shadowy group of powerful Jewish people are controlling the world.

-any and all of the above antisemitic dogwhistles combined with invoking blood libel (which refers to the allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes.) Example: Someone saying that mysterious, wealthy elites are trying to drink/consume the blood of kidnapped youth.


This isn’t everything but these seem to be the dogwhistles tumblr is too stupid to stop spreading. If you want to read more about this I’ll include some links.

Do you ever think of how weird it would be if Mickey Mouse’s name was actually Michael? And how weird it would be if one day Minnie called him “Michael Mouse” because she was upset with him? Because I think about it sometimes.

I have just been informed that Mickey’s full name is “Michael Theodore Mouse”, and that Minnie’s is “Minerva Mouse”. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING FORBIDDEN NOW???

I feel like this is a good time to share the fact that Donald Duck’s middle name is Fauntleroy.

DiAngelo addresses her book mostly to white people, and she reserves her harshest criticism for white liberals like herself (and like me), whom she sees as refusing to acknowledge their own participation in racist systems. “I believe,” she writes, “that white progressives cause the most daily damage to people of color.” Not only do these people fail to see their complicity, but they take a self-serving approach to ongoing anti-racism efforts

“To the degree that white progressives think we have arrived, we will put our energy into making sure that others see us as having arrived.” Even the racial beliefs and responses that feel authentic or well-intentioned have likely been programmed by white supremacy, to perpetuate white supremacy. Whites profit off of an American political and economic system that showers advantages on racial “winners” and oppresses racial “losers.” 

Yet, DiAngelo writes, white people cling to the notion of racial innocence, a form of weaponized denial that positions black people as the “havers” of race and the guardians of racial knowledge. Whiteness, on the other hand, scans as invisible, default, a form of racelessness

“Color blindness,” the argument that race shouldn’t matter, prevents us from grappling with how it does.
