Racially Enlightened Netflix features award winning racist hate show on its lineup

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Aug 7 11:00:20 2020

If the "ok" symbol is now a symbol of hate, lizard people came way before that in hate circles.
===========

The Netflix superhero series “The Umbrella Academy” is being called out, again, by critics who say it promotes anti-Semitic stereotypes.

The show, based on a comic book series of the same name, includes an underground society of lizard people who secretly control the world and their handler — who speaks Yiddish in some scenes.

When “The Handler,” played by Kate Walsh, was shown in the first season last year using the language developed by European Ashkenazi Jews over the last 1,000 years, it drew complaints that it suggested the bogus, anti-Semitic claim that a Jewish cabal shapes and controls world events.


In 2019, as the first season aired, the Board of Deputies of British Jews published an open letter criticizing the show.

“The use of a Yiddish saying by the evil boss of an organization which controls the world’s timeline is clearly an antisemitic trope,” the group’s vice president Amanda Bowman told the Sun, a British tabloid, after the open letter was published. “Whether intentional or not, this makes for very uncomfortable viewing. Netflix should take action to remove the racism from this scene.”

“The Umbrella Academy” is the streaming giant’s adaptation of the comic book series of the same name, about a family of estranged siblings with superpowers who reunite to save the world from the impending apocalypse. The siblings are up against The Commission, an evil organization that controls the world timeline and eliminates those who threaten their control.


Jewish writer Katherine Locke told the Sun in 2019 that she also believed the show, which co-stars Ellen Page, promotes the “antisemitic conspiracy theory that there’s a secret cabal of Jews controlling or manipulating the world.”

“This scene played right into that. And I think the important part here is: some people will brush this scene off. A lot of people didn’t even see it … But there are two groups of people who will see it, and whom I believe are meant to see it: Jewish viewers, and antisemites. It felt like a dog whistle and a warning all in one,” she said.

I got a list of subchatters who religiously watch this show.

I never heard of this show. I guess only watching Fow News has a down side

Anti-Semitism is the only form of hatred that is still acceptable to all sides of the political and social spectrums. Even the gays and lesbians are biased in their own ways.

jybmt thinks joining up with SJP is going to give him love and credibiity in the mainstream. SJP and like-minded terror groups don't make exceptions long-term.

conspiracy theory that there’s a secret cabal

Even sounds Jewish.

I had no idea about the antisemitism. Last week I watched half of the first episode from last season. That’s all that I could make it through. It was boring.
