Yes and yes. And it can be the shrinking of the circle that brings on more violence. The death rattle. At least I hope it is, and that the violence is kept to a minimum. People who have dominated the day seldom let it slip away without a fight. I don't underestimate the depth of anger or the violence it could engender.

I agree about Christian churches, too. I wish I could come up with an easy way to differentiate in language between Christians and people who hide behind the shield of a religion's name to cover motives that are political.

X,
Am I understanding you correctly that you were born to a family which views the world in terms of nigger and jews? But you were then adopted or something? And we know you have no such views yourself and treat everyone equally, as you have expressed before with "I hate everyone equally", or something like that. Does that prove nurture wins over nature in that instance. Actually it may not if you have a tendency to dislike people in general which may be genetic in nature. But because of your upbringing that tendency has been distributed with equality, therefore it is more just? Let me know if I have misunderstood this.

SR

I put on talk radio in the car sometimes, sometimes the Pacifica station (it's the execrable WBAI in NY,) and hear anti-Semitic remarks or allusions made by callers with startling frequency. This wasn't the case three or four years ago. I personally don't think the circle of anti-Semites is getting very very small; I think it's growing, particularly, though not exclusively, as I said, among African-Americans.

This is my impression.

I am not Jewish, btw.
