Reply To: WHY LABEL

I think labels all have to do with the attitude surrounding them. Cohen, Levi and Yisroel are not seen as negative, as well all accept it as Min Hashamayim. But with Litvak/chasidish/blackhatter/yeshivish/comeupwithyourown it has become negative to be seen as the other. If you are not my “label” or what I consider to be my label, then you are an “other” and dont belong.

Besides- try defining any of these terms and lets see if we cam all agree on a definition… We have tried it in the past and it hasnt worked well.
