>Members of Chattanooga's Jewish community are criticizing remarks City Council candidate Marie Mott made about Jewish slave owners in a 2020 video, which has resurfaced in the days leading up to a Thursday runoff election for an open seat on the panel. >"As members of Chattanooga's Jewish community, we strongly condemn Marie's comments and denounce antisemitism in any form," members of the community said in a letter obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press on Monday evening. >The letter was signed by 32 people, including three rabbis. "Hate has been prevalent throughout our history," it said. "In the past several years, we have seen a resurgence of hate-mongering aimed at all minority communities. We must come together to stand up against hate instead of further dividing our communities." >Mott is squaring off against Councilwoman Marvene Noel, of Orchard Knob, who was appointed to the District 8 seat on City Council in March. The winner will fill out the remainder of former Councilman Anthony Byrd's four-year term. He stepped down earlier this year.
Chattanooga is dead already. Why bother. It’s just hippy stores and river rat malarkey

Mott states that Jews owned slaves and overwhelmingly joined the Confederacy during the Civil War. "Throughout the video, Marie oversimplified history," the letter states. "She exaggerated historical facts, and she presented disinformation about the Civil War and slavery. The truth is that, yes, there were Jewish people who owned slaves and joined the Confederate army. (READ MORE: Chattanooga City Council candidate defends remarks about Jewish slave owners) >"This is a horrific part of our history which we will never deny; however, the number of Jewish slaveholders and Confederate soldiers was drastically lower than what Marie stated. Additionally, the vast majority of American Jews immigrated here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (post Civil War) as refugees to flee religious persecution." The comments are among several Mott made across multiple videos, according to the letter, which included offensive comments aimed at Chattanooga's Jewish community. >"Regardless of intent, Marie's statements were divisive and blurred the lines of antisemitism," the letter continues. "To this day, Marie has offered no apologies for her statements. In fact, when the videos first emerged in 2020, members of the Jewish community reached out to Marie to have a conversation. She did not accept. >(READ MORE: Gun violence, affordable housing among top issues for District 8 Chattanooga City Council runoff) "When this video resurfaced, Marie initially doubled down and defended her comments. She has only now agreed to meet with members of the Jewish community, and we look forward to a discussion, which we hope will be fruitful." >Mott did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by text Monday evening. >"I don't know a soft way to say you enslaved my ancestors," she said on social media, responding to criticism of her remarks. "I don't know how to soften the blow of that, and don't ask me to."
Here's the letter because OP is a fag and can't do his job.
>When Marie first shared the video on Facebook, many in the Jewish community were eager to watch it. Many of us had interacted with Marie and marched alongside her. We unequivocally denounced anti-Blackness. Historically both communities have often united to fight hate though, at other times, there have been divisions—both racism and antisemitism. We expected this video to dissect how both communities have promoted hate against the other. We expected the video to discuss how we must come together to heal pain and unite against hate. >Unfortunately, this was not the case. The video did not discuss community relations; rather, it was a distorted view of history used to create a false narrative regarding the Jewish community. Throughout the video, Marie oversimplified history. She exaggerated historical facts, and she presented disinformation about the Civil War and slavery. The truth is that, yes, there were Jewish people who owned slaves and joined the Confederate army. This is a horrific part of our history which we will never deny; however, the number of Jewish slaveholders and Confederate soldiers was drastically lower than what Marie stated. Additionally, the vast majority of American Jews immigrated here in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (post Civil War) as refugees to flee religious persecution. >The video that has resurfaced, specifically the shorter version that has been more widely spread, represents just a portion of Marie’s comments across multiple videos. Additional videos contained offensive comments aimed specifically at Chattanooga’s Jewish community. Regardless of intent, Marie’s statements were divisive and blurred the lines of antisemitism.

>It's completely true, but how dare you say it aloud! Jews are exhausting.
damn whites why do they always bite the hand that feeds?
Sebastian Hughes
Sounds like a white supremacist nigger to me. Lynching when?

The truth is antisemitism.
Read the secret relationship between jews and blacks.
After the spanish inquisition expelled the jews they fled to Brazil to begin sugar plantations. Being lazy good for nothing money lenders they started the transatlantic slave trade to have labor on the plantations.
Now they control the media and say that white people are responsible.
Jordan Martinez
How does a nigger find out the truth about the Jew but not their own people? Deep down she knows niggers are an inferior race.
Adrian Ortiz
Yeah I couldn't help but notice an absence of a denial. kek

If you're interested in the history of slavery I humbly suggest the works of Dr. Tony Martin, he was a Black college professor that got in trouble for teaching verifiable and documented facts about the history of the slavery industry/business in the Americas (both North and Latin/South).
