I can see how things have changed now. I guess replace wanting mustard and spices with oil and the song stays the same.

In the case of slavery 300 years of targeted destruction of the family kind of has an affect. It is hard to get to know dad when he was sold.

Well folks, it's been fun. For those of you feeling guilty over your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, keep your chin up. I propose tithing 50% of your paychecks to make up for it.
Me, I'm hittin' the pub.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSh*t 300 years ago my ancestors were basically enslaved by the Brits. Starving and a lack of education made it kinda hard on the family unit too. Not exactly June and Ward Cleaver back then either. But I tend to let it go. I also don't have any guilty parties to fan the flames of my people's lament. I need a beer. And I blame the Brits.

Who has had it worse than the Jews? A lot of those folks were enslaved, starved, and murdered. How about that little Holocaust thing? And despite their small numbers, Jews are arguably the most self motivated, driven and successful people on our planet. They use their mistreatment as motivation and not an excuse. Major freakin difference.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNope. No one was sold. And by then, neither was anyone else for at least 75 years. Every ethnicity can mine their histories for excuses. I am Irish. And trust me we are still working through some issues in my clan that have pretty deep roots.

And Jews are not a race. That is a religion. It is hard to tell a persons religion by looking at them. It is pretty hard to not look black.
Major freakin difference.

????? How is a ghost motivated? The population of European Jews was decimated and has not recovered.

Can you publish a "blame" chart? I realize it is all going to point back to whitey but I would love to see the flow. My people were scrounging for taters when all this sh*t went down, so don't blame me!
The Irish were enslaved too. As were the Jews. As were the Chinese (pretty sure that one is a race) and they seem to have rebounded well.
