When I see the on-going erosion of America, I am saddened, grieved and fearful for us all. Recently, each new day has had the potential of bringing more drama than the previous one, and from that standpoint it has succeeded. At the forefront of the news is the Black Lives Matter Movement. If you don’t support it, you are a racist and if you support it too strongly you are guilty of cultural appropriation. In places like Seattle (where I live), white people are being asked to “renounce their whiteness”. What is that supposed to mean? The corrupting and politicizing of the BLM Movement has taken over our country and is running wild. The original protests had great value, but we are so far removed from that now!

As a Jew, allow me to reflect on what my people have gone through and continue to go through. This is in no way an attempt at “one-upping” the African American community, but I simply wish to bring a little perspective to the whole issue of racism and inequality.
