(1,455 posts)Would use the huggy thingees, but not sure how to access them. Afterall, I'm an illiterate Upstater, as NYC people refer to us. Those are the kindest words used. Anything not in THE CITY is obviously from outer space. Sometimes the RW groups get something correct, like the proverbial broken clock, and culture of victimhood is one of them. I have many Jewish friends, yes, they are here in UNY, not just downstate. I myself have Jewish ancestry, and this using of the Holocaust for only Jewish persons, that only they got affected has been bullshit of the highest proportions for years. Especially used by those not directly affected themselves. As a GLBT, I could easily use this same culture of victimhood, because it has happened to me personally since my earliest childhood. I choose to be as evenhanded as possible, giving the doubt where needed. Hugs to you!!!!
