Being Jewish, I am always troubled when discussing race, a friend might state, “Well look at how Jews have managed to do so well, and certainly they have been subjugated to thousands of years of hate and discrimination”...Yea , idiot, a little easier for a Jew to assimilate and lets not forget how the American Black family structure was destroyed to it’s core by slavery, and not so long ago..Jewish Family has always remained in tact..despite the horrible events of anti-semitism through the ages..
