Excellent piece and responses to the ignorant and/or tunnel visioned commenters.

I found your piece because Medium Staff linked it. I was encouraged to see Medium Staff title a piece about history repeating itself and read it to see what they had to say and to comment, but alas the story was not open to comments.

I appreciate the balanced way you talk about racism and related issues.

As Medium Staff;'s story was not open to comment, I will have to comment here. Medium is guilty of possibly allowing history to repeat itself. I reported a story to Medium as antisemitic a few weeks ago and got nothing but a canned response. The story propagated the myth that Jews control the world, which is the type of myth that Hitler used to create the Holocaust, that putting aside the deniers, far too many people have never even heard of. When I pointed this out to the writer in private notes, he told me that Jews are too sensitive. Yesterday I reported the story and Medium to the ADL. I hope some good comes of it.
