20th century product of a kosher home and Cincinnati public education, from kindergarten through graduate school. A musician who never quit his day job. A retired cartographer, geographer, photographer, teacher, and occasional independent contractor. "But don't try and make me what I'm not. I just get by with what I've got. Live let live is my advice. If you've got questions, ask me nice." (from lyrics by Mose Allison)

"The Very Thought of You" - Frank Wess

Intellectually, I want to make minor criticisms here in there, but emotionally, I wholeheartedly embrace the thoughts and feelings expressed. Before deciding to repost this, I left a comment. I gave a serious suggestion that few who read it will be able to follow. It's followed by an opinion not commonly expressed by a Jew.
So much of this boils down to white guilt and the desperate desire to shift that guilt onto some other racial group that they can label as Even Worse Than The Whites and therefor be absolved of ever having to think critically about their own actions and privilege ever again.

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.
H. L. Mencken (1926)
