I could go on. You are being hard and not recognizing how bad we got it.
Show me some other ethnicity who went thru what we went thru and came thru unscathed. You are holding us up to an iimpossible standard. The djooz did not even get half of what we got. The japanese did not even get 1/4 of what we got. They,. the japanese are a tightly nit group of people who faced a disaster. That is totally different. The djooz are a tightly nit group of people with a strong self identity that underwent a disaster and had the british gov give them a homland in the "middle east' and went to war for them - they had sympathizers.
Who is the sympathizer of the black people? Which government gives us land? Who goes to war for us against our enemies?
There is no comparison!!! None!
