I remember a lot Anti-antisemitism as well as anti-black
comments growing up on Long Island. My father was an Irish-Catholic living in
Protestant Scotland that is why he came to this country where he hoped there
would be a little less prejudice and always said don’t put anyone else down for
you could be next. I don’t understand people who came from ancestors that
suffered prejudice could turn around and do it to others.
I believe there are two kinds of
people on this planet those that are openly racist and those that at least try
to hide it. I think it is a matter of
survival to protect your family and to extend that to your race, ethic group,
nationality, and even into religion or beliefs.
Humans have learned to control
other emotions that they might have, why can’t they learn to get along with
people that are not like them. The
United States has many different kinds of people with different cultures that
mix is what makes America great. It might not look like it now, but I think all
human societies will evolve into one great global Society.
