As a Jewish person, my parents always made sure we were quiet, well-dressed and upstanding, lest some racists call us "dirty, noisy, pushy Jews." Maybe that wasn't "fair." <BR/><BR/>What's especially surprising is isn't Jesse Jackson the person who said when he saw black kids at night on a city street he felt threatened and would cross over to the other side of the block? What if they acted white?<BR/><BR/>Years ago when I lived in Chicago, there was a street gang called the Latin Eagles. They graffitied their name everywhere. Someone claimed that they saw one instance where someone has graffitied the graffiti and changed Latin Eagles to Eaten Bagles. Maybe this is racist, but I'd feel much more threatened by the former than the later.george tannenbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974259094860905139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-9371538135384739642007-09-21T12:53:00.000-04:002007-09-21T12:53:00.000-04:00Check out ActingWhite.com for more discussion./JCCheck out ActingWhite.com for more discussion.<BR/>/JCJames C.
