[quote=Anonymous]I come from a family of immigrants. My grandparents all came here when they were little, all escaping poverty or pogroms. Our last names were changed by Ellis Island officials because you couldn’t get a job with an obviously Jewish or Japanese name. My grandfathers fought in WWII, one after being in an internment camp. My mother was called a Jap on the streets of New York City. My father was told by a man in Virginia “if you was a Jew I would kill you.” He prayed the man didn’t realize he is Jewish. They worked their way up from East Side tenements, and my parents are now rich New Yorkers. None of the suffering my family faced—or the discrimination Jews face—comes close to what Black Americans have faced, and continue to face. The Jewish-American house has a fire, but the Black American house has the biggest blaze of all and it’s been burning for 400 years. It’s up to all of us to help.[/quote]
