[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread causes anti-Semitic sentiment. So. Much. Whining. And if you had the great misfortune to read the earlier thread on Trayon, the whining is enough to make one physical ill. The Ward 8 blacks are worried about things like putting food on the table and finding employment. Trayon does a good job representing them in their eyes. A NOI guy shouted Jews are like termites after the event was basically over and now you want Trayon who wasn't even there and a Latino dude to lose their jobs? Probably 3 times a year a black yells something racist to me. So what. Do you ever see the white christians on here in hysterics? Pull yourself together already. The world is not always rainbows and unicorns. [/quote]

Bet if someone yelled the “n” word on stage at some rally in DC you would be the first to call for everyone’s head on a platter. So much hypocrisy. [/quote]

Breaking news : people do and keep their jobs , but if constantly hiding behind and comparing yourselves to minorities despite you being at [b]the top of the food chain ([/b] so much for anti anti semitism) helps you sleep at night . Go for it [/quote]
Ah-ha! Now we're getting somewhere. Apparently, to those resentful of Jews' higher-than-average success, that success somehow proves that there isn't antisemitism, hmmm? The fact is that Jews, as a whole, are successful despite hostility from anti-Semites like you. [/quote]

NP. Perhaps that PP needs to get the book "In Memory's Kitchen" and learn it's poignant history.  PP also needs to understand that Jews NEVER stopped studying and learning, even IN the concentration camps. That Jews view the key to success as education, formal and informal. I was taught that when you are learning, your time is never wasted. And that nothing comes easy - if it's worth having it's worth working for.[/quote]

It's like the story of The Little Red Hen.  "Who will help me bake the bread?  Not I said the, lamb."  "Who will help me eat the bread?  I will said the lamb."  Some people don't want to work hard and then resent the people who do work hard and reap the reward of hard work, grit and persistence.  To be successful requires hard work.  Everyone has that chance.[/quote]
Agree. My father, and his cohort of friends, grew up in a poor Lower Easr Side neighborhood, where his uneducated parents immigrated in the early 20th century. (Think Hester Street.) My dad shared his bedroom with his brother and a boarder, taken in to make ends meet. The bathroom was shared with neighbots down the hall. They had nothing, and both my dad and uncle worked through college to get an education. After class, they went to their jobs, getting home by 10 p.m. and then studying until 2:00a.m. Up six hours later, and back on the subway to class. It took grit, determination, a willingness to suffer through sleepless nights, and tons of sacrifices.

My mother, on the other side, did the same thing. Her father had a 10th grade education and her mother 8th, and they lived with her two sisters in a tenement. All three girls shared one small bedroom. Mom went to college during the day, and then had a job from 6 pm to 10 pm every night. First hit the books when she got home.

From parents without even a high school education to a college-educated professionals in a single generation. And all in the shadow of Nazi Germany.[/quote]
^^^ and all, I should add! within a few years of my grandparents losing their Europeam siblings and parents, and my own parents losing their cousins.[/quote]
