[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it wasn't you. That lady was a big B. Brought up the slavery thing, omg. I would have ignored her and ate the fricken food.[/quote]

Op here, I know the point of Passover is to recall the Jews escaping Egyptian slavery but she talked to me like I had no idea what that was. I just listened intently but the whole time I was thinking 1. Christians have this story too, it's in the Bible. And 2, [b]I'm black, I understand the gravity of slavery,[/b] no need to keep hammering it into me like I don't get it. [/quote]

I'm white and Jewish, and have been SHOCKED to find out some people don't know jews were slaves at all.  Or don't believe that when they hear it.  Also, please keep in mind that Judaism existed way before any of the Christian religions, so Judaism is woven into the Christian bibles.  But when Jewish kids go to hebrew school we're ONLY studying Judaism.  Other religious never come up, because they didn't exist when our religion started.  So we often have no idea what you may know or not know in terms of religion. [/quote]
