My father once told me about being an American with a German name during world war two. He was a grown man by then but still having a name like Hans Adolph created no end of abuse. It also black balled him in some of the war work he did. He was unable to serve due to blindness in one eye and total deafness in one ear. He became Jack Meixner real quick after the war began. The one place he was never treated poorly was working on the Cherokee Reservation in Oklahoma.

Any attack by an American Citizen on another American citizen because of shade of skin or faith is intolerable. But sadly it is to be expected I suppose. We live in so much hatred and fear. I thot it was gone. I hoped it was gone but I guess it will always be among us.
