The FEAR(s) of the Traitor

 

The FEAR(s) of The Traitor!

November 13th, 2024 – will be the 60th Anniversary of the – Friday, November 13th, 1964 – death of my father.   I was 13 years old then.

I had insecure attachment issues with both of my parents.   My father was never “there” when I wanted him to be there!   He had definite limitations- valuing his work as a mathematics professor far more than being with my brother and me – when we wanted meaningful time with him.

For all my father’s faults, he was Anti-Racist, believed in Social Justice and he taught his two sons to think for ourselves.   We were challenged to speak up, to read and learn (at least intellectually).

I try to deepen my connection with the Positive values I admire, from nearly 60 years ago.


About 12 years ago

“George, you only care about Racism because your wife is Black” – said a fellow classmate for or five years ago at lunch together in Downtown Chicago.   Never mind that our family marched around the Tippecanoe County Courthouse in Lafayette, Indiana in a Civil Rights march 62 or 63 years ago.   I didn’t waste my time – responding to the classmate then.   He couldn’t and wouldn’t have really listened to me.

Since October 7, 2023 – I’ve been physically threatened once, called a “self-hating Jew” both in person and in writing, called a “Nazi”, as well as minimized/ridiculed in other ways.

Dude, you need to be checked into a hospital IMMEDIATELY!!

Where are you getting your information from. The United States is not anymore racist than anywhere else. In fact, there is LESS racism in the US than most places.

But clearly you have been brainwashed. Are you a racist sir? Do you hate Black people? Because if you don't hate Black people then who are you talking about??

-

Dude? What are you saying? Do you have any facts or any context for your woke ideology??

What it sounds like is that you hate yourself and you wish you were never born. That's what it sounds like to me.

So what on earth does your self-loathing have to do with racism?? Honestly- what on earth are you talking about?

If you were born in 1951, it sounds like you're suffering from the same affliction as Joe Biden - you are losing your mind sir.

Please go seek medical help immediately!

Why does “Professor S****** waste his time responding with his clear words?

The answer is obvious!

I am a Traitor to a lot of fellow Jews.

The Privileged Male ones seem most upset at me.

-

Curiosity – is commonly very important for me.   I’m curious to learn about the “others” – the “debaters on the other side”.   Sometimes their words and ideals trigger me.   I’m very emotional in general!   When deeply hurt, I try to look at my own hurt.   Why am I so upset!?

Taking risks – is part of the human being that I am!

-

I do not hate those who accuse me – in these ways.   I do not gloat – listening to their words.   I also limit my responses to them!

I’ll remain – The Traitor!

You?

Big Girls Don't Cry

BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY My father (Menachem) Imanuel Marx died Friday, November 13, 1964, when I was 13 years old.    My mother woke my brother and I up with the news early that morning.    We went to the hospital and saw him for the last time. I didn’t cry then.       Daniel and I went to school that day.   I didn’t tell anyone. Two days later at the funeral, I was still being “a man” (i.e. not crying).   Until I was in my second men’s group around age 31, I didn’t allow myself to cry .    I rationalized this by saying to myself:   “ How does x compare with the death of my father ?”. I am self-identified as a   Jewish man .    Growing up that meant being intellectual and not emotional .    Our Sabbath dinner was the only time in the week, when we couldn’t read at the table.    While I was “schooled” on feelings through my men’s work (, most significantly through helping co-found Men Stopping Rape, Inc. in 1983), it was only several months ago that I was able to first
