I am a Jew, and while my grandparents ESCAPED Germany, Russia and Romania, they found a America, a land full of diversity, to a city where you could openly display signs of your Judaism outside your Kosher delicatessen. Of which where people of all faiths and colors would visit to eat without judgement. To an America where Jews fought alongside Muslim and Christians to fight the evils of Fascism. You seem to leave this all out. As only in America would this be possible as we are all immigrants that chose to escape religious persecution, poverty or starvation at some point in time, so we all know how it feels to be forced from ones home with nothing at all including white males of European decent who sought freedom to raise a family from the evil or despair that their home countries provided. I stand by America who laid down it’s brothers, sisters, neighbors and Statesmen who abolish slavery. Yes, it was the White man that ended Slavery. Who was responsible for enslaving these folks at the onset? There parents, neighbors and leaders in Africa profited off the slave trade, not just White men who profited from the free labor. Before blacks were slaves, Whites were also slaves under Roman times and of course Jews prior to that. History isn’t one sound bite from a movie, but an entire reel that needs to be understood in context. Yes, it was the Liberal icon FDR that placed your family in concentration camps here in the US. However, were his intentions evil? No, We’re they forced into slave labor? No, Was their an underlying racism that drove this, yes of course, but thats typical in times of fear, to protect thyself, family and ones community, whether that be full of Whites, Jews, blacks, Latinos. Japan had bombed the US, so it was a defense mechanism to protect the nation in times of turmoil. Context is an amazing concept, maybe they should teach this a little more before they burn down Monticello.
