A Tale of Two Persecutions & Discriminations Through History; Blacks and Jews

@JBGUSA

…I think minority leaders need to deal with their own community problems and focus less on inanimate symbols such as statues and problems of the past such as the history of slavery and racism.

@tomndebb

Is there a debate, here?

Yes there is. It’s the same as the one in this thread:

Submitted: Current Racial Problems NOT Caused by Memorials

Since Dylan Rooffs’ Charleston massacre and with gathering force since the Charlottesville violence, there has been a crescendo of efforts to erase history. In Baltimore all Confederate monuments were ripped out in the middle of the night…

I think that the umbilical ties to nursing ancient hatreds are part of the problem. See A Racist World, Described by Those Who Knew It.[“And Angelou was, in a way, just as furious about the sheriff’s condescension, the blithe evil of warning the innocent to “lay low.”]. Why not focus on real current barriers to learning and achievement rather than the evils of long-dead white losers such as Southern sheriffs, governors using police dogs, and Klansmen? There are serious needs to be addressed, serious current problems.
