I find it shameful that racism in this country is running rampant. My mother was born in a little town in Poland. She was barely a teenager when the Germans occupied where she lived. She and her family were sent to the concentration camps. She didn't understand why people were cruel and mean. She never understood why her mother, father, brothers and sisters perished in the gas chambers. She survived and was freed when the camps were finally liberated. Before she left Poland, she spoke Polish and Yiddish, a slang of German. She immigrated to Israel which just received its independence. It was a requirement of her citizenship to learn Hebrew. And so she did. She became a Registered Nurse in a major hospital in Jerusalem. After 10 years, she immigrated to this country. A requirement of citizenship was to learn English. She continued her career as a Nurse. She eventually met my father and they got married. My parents raised me to be civil, courteous and respectful to all. I have done the same with my children. When my mother passed away, she spoke 4 languages, one of a unique kind of care givers inspite of all the hatred she saw and experienced.
Racism comes from narrow minded people try to usurp their belief onto yours. If you noticed, I never tried to convert anyone to a life of Judaism. I only presented this thread based upon something I saw while walking.
I truly wish we would have less hatred and racism in the next year.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Shooting!
