There are certain places in Tyler's
video where he says some nice things
about the community.
He talks about the flat tire being
changed. He talks about the ambulance
service and then he sort of turns it
into or if I'm talking to you Tyler, you
turn it into this thing about, yeah, we
got to do this for ourselves. We have to
learn how to do this for ourselves. And
where does that come from? because
you're saying a very dangerous question
near the end of the video which kind of
takes that good part of the video and
makes it seem like you mean it
deviously. Why? Because you say, "Why is
it okay for Jewish people to live
together in a homogeneous community, but
it's illegal when white people try to
build their own?" That question, Tyler,
is either ignorant or malicious.
Let me explain to you why.
It is not illegal for white people to
live together.
That's not a thing. By the way, sign on
my screen is where Jews I'm not talking
about Nazi Germany over here. I'm
talking about in America when membership
is limited to Gentiles only. If you look
at the bottom and no dogs either, mind
you. Look at the bottom. It says members
and guests limited to Gentiles of North
European ancestry.
So to tellic Jews, why is it okay for
them to do it, not us? No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. That's not how history
works. That's not how it works. You can
live in curious jewel. Anybody can buy a
house there.
People selling houses, people selling
are from all walks of life. People can
buy it from all walks of life.
There's a big difference between
something looking a certain way and
something being a certain way.
There are people who are not Chinese who
live in Chinatown. There are people who
are not Muslims who live in Dearbornne,
Michigan. There are people who live in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Lancaster
County, who don't take a horse and wagon
because they're not Amish.
But still, do you want to live in such a
community? The reason why Orthodox Jews
specifically cluster together is because
they don't take cars on the Sabbath.
They want to walk to synagogue. They
need to have since they only eat kosher
food, they want to live near a kosher
supermarket and often they don't have
cars. As you said, if you if everyone
would have cars, you say people below
the poverty line, everyone has cars.
Many people manage without cars.
Therefore, they all live close together.
Plus, families are very close and people
get married young. So when somebody
lives in curious Joel and their child
gets married and the child wants to live
near their parents, remember we have a
diff very different way of raising our
children and I don't want I don't want
to say marrying off our children because
maybe that doesn't sound the way I'm
trying to explain but when a child gets
married and there's no forced marriages
but when a child gets married then you
want to live near your parents unlike in
other cultures where you want to live
far away. It's more like the cultures
where everyone kind of wants to live
nearby, not in the same house, but a
couple of blocks away. So what happens
is when their children get married, they
also want to live in the area. So you
end up having a lot of extended family
cluster together.
So therefore, you end up having a
community where everybody wants to live
within three blocks of mommy and 20
years later their daughter wants to get
married and live within three blocks of
that mommy who's the daughter of the
mommy we mentioned 10 seconds ago. And
therefore you end up with a very large
community of kididic Jews living near
each other. Not because a non-Jew can't
live there. That's just the way it
works. So just like I don't think I
would want to or you would want to live
in Park City, Utah because I'm not
Mormon and I don't think you're Mormon.
Do anyone does anyone live there that's
not Mormon? Probably. Would you like to
live there? No. So the question isn't
why is it allowed for them to have their
own community? The question is, why does
religious freedom make some people
uncomfortable?
Iser, let me tell you the question
you're really asking. You're asking, why
can religious minorities have their own
little cultural enclaves? And the answer
is because it's America.
Because it's America.
