[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how most Americans think slavery is ok in China today.[/quote]
I do not think it is ok there or anywhere else

I am sick of the posters claiming that Jews suffered more therefore they are right

Not a single poster has claimed that Jews suffered more, although that of course could be debated. Certainly the Holocaust, in which Jews were deemed sub-human and gassed to death by the millions, is horrendous beyond words.

No, the point being made about Jews is in response to liberals who keep saying that the only reason that blacks have been less successful, collectively, is due to prejudice and bigotry. Jews, despite millennia of prejudice, have succeeded. Even less than one generation after their families were murdered for being Jewish, they went from poor immigrant to middle-class college graduate or successful business owner. Thus, the point is that you can't claim that prejudice alone explains lack of success. Jews have revealed that, and that's why there's so much resentment toward them: they dispel the liberal myth that "it's always someone else's fault."

What are all of the challenges that black people have faced and do face today?

Please, enough of this
Jews were not brought to America as slaves
There is no need for anyone to feel pity for a privileged small ethnic minority
There are people suffering today in America[/quote]
