Wheres my Jew?
After some difficulties with a few Jewish people I decided to befriend the next Jewish person I met.
I met Milton Sturman and for ten years until I was caught up in a layoff we spent all of our lunch and breaks together. After I was laid off we continued to meet at a restaurant and we remain friends until he retired and moved to live with his sister in Florida.
I went to work for a childrens toy and exercise equipment company which was owned by two Jewish men and had many Jewish employees. My main coworker was a Hasidic Jewish lady who often told me I was one of the kindest men she had ever met. Her Grandfather called me "My buddy"
At my next job which was a warehouse job I looked up into the sky and asked Where is my Jew? The answer came when I was again laid off after six years here and a young accountant tried to get them to keep me because my unemployment was benefit was almost the same as my horrible and they might as well keep me. It didn't work but I appreciated the effort. She was the only Jewish employee there.
I'm retired with a few annuities and some inherited money and Social Security.
I miss my Jewsih guys.
This is a thoughtful and encouraging post. I’d love to read more posts like this on CP
It's kind of odd, from the perspective of a person of color, someone that is of European Hebrew DNA is just a variant of "White" and nothing more. Whites hate, it has nothing to do with anything except for their deeply profound need to hate for the sake of hating. Perhaps psychologically it may be became they actually hate themselves or perhaps it's because God needed to have a villain on planet earth or maybe it's as simple as the very same reason that Salmons swim upstream.
The hate factor in your post is an exaggeration. Many white Europeans hate no one. They never have and they never will. I'm white and I don't hate a person of a different race or religion. Salmon swim upstream to spawn because they are genetically engineered to reproduce that way. Humans have an innate tendency to distrust people who aren't exactly the same type of human they are but this bias can be overcome with effort and the desire to get along with their fellow man. If your black it doesn't matter to me. If your Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, etc it doesn't matter to me. I accept all people except criminals.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I am sending you one. Expect a knock on the door somewhere mid-summer. Cool your beer and get the chess board ready.
