Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By late 2020, under the influence of the Black Lives Matter movement, which the ADL was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/faith\/2020\/09\/04\/blue-state-blues-liberal-jewish-leaders-bend-the-knee-to-antisemitism\/\">desperate<\/a> to appease (to the point of joining antisemitic left-wing groups in calling for a \u201cBlack-led movement\u201d), the organization changed the definition:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The marginalization and\/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By Wednesday, the definition appeared to have changed again to a new, \u201cinterim\u201d definition of racism:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ADL cited Harvard professor Robert Livingston, a social psychologist who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hks.harvard.edu\/faculty\/robert-livingston\">also<\/a> a \u201cdiversity consultant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a separate essay <a href=\"https:\/\/j0nathan-g.medium.com\/getting-it-right-in-defining-racism-3c01a517bf9d\">published<\/a> Wednesday at Medium, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt attempted to explain:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A few years ago, ADL updated our definition to reflect that racism in the United States manifests in broader and systemic ways and to explicitly acknowledge the targeting of people of color \u2014 among many others \u2014 by the white supremacist extremism we have tracked for decades. While this is true, this new frame narrowed the meaning in other ways. And, by being so narrow, the resulting definition was incomplete, rendering it ineffective and therefore unacceptable. It\u2019s true, it\u2019s just not the whole truth. It alienated many people who did not see their own experience encompassed in this definition, including many in the Jewish community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greenblatt said that the ADL would \u201copen ourselves to comments on our new definition of racism from the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/faith\/2022\/01\/26\/adl-discriminates-among-jews-based-on-race-jews-of-color-awards-announced\/\">noted<\/a>, the ADL gave fellowships of up to $25,000 to \u201cJews of Color.\u201d Judaism does not recognize distinctions of color in any way; the term \u201cJews of Color\u201d simply excludes \u201cwhite\u201d Jews of European origin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
