@StillIRise1963 This “white American” got very early lessons on fascism and hate. At age 7 years old I was beaten and ostracized by the neighbor kids because their parents told them I’m a Christ killing Jew, they would hold me down and feel for my devil horns. Not one neighborhood kid was allowed to enter my house. This bullshit in 1961 California! People of color aren’t alone in carrying the burden of ignorance and hate!
@LawrenceShop @StillIRise1963 It's not a contest and if a comment doesn't apply to you, there's no reason or need to be defensive.
Being Jewish in America is far different in so many ways than being Black in America. Trying to negate or in any way diminish that fundamental truth is unseemly, at best.
@ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop @StillIRise1963 The fact is our two communities have been through similar outrages. We have more in common than not. Neither of us should diminish the experiences of the other, but neither of us can claim them solely as our own.
