Thread Name: BS: What is Anti-Semitism?
Subject: RE: BS: What is Anti-Semitism?
Art...I HAD no opinion on anti-semitism before I started this thread. I live near the Mexican border. Most of the people around me are Latino, and THAT is the racial/cultural thing I'm forced by politicians and religious leaders and the news media to focus on. The people around me are just people, until they're reminded their folks were from Mexico or Texas, etc. I just get tired of the Al Sharpton vs David Duke mentality everyone buys into, then I see an article where Jews get kid glove treatment and recall how that religion has tried to present itself as a 'race' in the past, so I have to ask what it's all about. And in the process I'm reminded of the Jews' obsession with genetics, which smacks of Aryan-supremacy. What a wacky world. And I had NOTHING to do with making that part of the world...I'm just trying to figure out why I should lose my freedom of speech because a group of people want to follow a particular belief system.
