[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in KCMO. I am white, but I did in truth live in a diverse  inner city neighborhood with a high crime rate.

Life for suburban white Jewish women in suburban Kansas City in the 1980s wasn't exactly easy. Jewish people were barred from country clubs. In 1990 Tom Watson famously resigned from the Kansas City Country Club over its refusal to admit billionaire H&R Block founder Henry Bloch. We didn't have our first Jewish mayor, Mayor Richard Berkley, until the 1979. He was a Republican.

Jessica Krug could have had an academic career in her field of study without claiming to be black. [/quote]

On the one hand, I definitely agree. Everyone knows there’s rampant anti-Semitism in this country and it’s not really going anywhere. We take one step forward and two steps back when it comes to prejudice against Jews. On the other hand, academia is horrendous when it comes to left wing anti-Semitism. It’s honestly awful. It’s probably easier to be a fake Black Puerto Rican child of addicts from the ‘hood then it is to be a Jewish scholar in academia. [/quote]

DP but all racism faces this type of “growth”, “pace of dissolution”, whatever you want to call it. Two steps forward, one step back. It is a game of inches, when it shouldn’t be. We have to dance to the beat of a different drum. That can be said for black, Jewish, Arabic, Hispanic, Asian, or any other minority race that deals with racism. The extent of the mistreatment varies from one constructed race to another, but it is still there.

With Obama, we took 10 steps forward.
With trump at the helm, it has been 50 steps back. And not just with race and social discourse in America. With everything. Oh, except the inflated stock market that is accelerating a potential bankruptcy if all of the gopgrift is left unchecked.[/quote]
