Anywhere from 6 to 11 MILLION Jewish people were forced into despicable conditions and executed, and anti-semitism still DOES EXIST today, When the Pope, or whoever it was, told Christians that the Jews didn’t really kill Christ. It was similar to. .”jury please disregard the question/answer.” In a court of law. People believe what is taught and learned at home. Jews are to this day STILL held in contempt. Your last statement— that “Jews control all the money” just added another level of contempt I feel towards you. Were you the one with your fist in the air yelling White SUPREMACY??
FURTHERMORE, I feel that stores selling indoor and outdoor plants without their real names should remove the labels from WANDERING JEWS and label it with its real botanical name.

I'm pretty sure it is meant as sarcasm in an attempt to point out that there is plenty of prejudice to go around from all sides. No single group of people have a monopoly on prejudice or being the victim of prejudice. Injustice and prejudice goes back to human kinds earliest time. It comes in many forms, not just racial. Many people are exposed to it every day, but make the choice to " consider the source" as being unworthy of a response. They realize that prejudice and bigotry is the result of a closed mind that has been poorly socialized and educated. They go about their day and refuse to get sucked into a no win argument with a fool.
We see stereotypes every day and every where.
Did you ever watch "Tool Time" or "In Living Color"? I enjoyed those shows and others like them, and I liked them on many levels. By facing the stereotype they showed the silliness of prejudice and they took the sting out of it by trying to get us to look, really look at ourselves and to realize just how alike we all are. After all, we are all branches on the same family tree. And, because we are family, we need to learn how to live together.
Stay safe. Stay well. Keep up the dialog in the hopes we can all learn something. Peace!
