THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

JEWS ARE JUST PEOPLE | 2002-06-29

When I was in college one of my drinking buddies was a Jew who, as a child, had been in a Nazi concentration camp. When we got drunk together he told me more than once, "There can't be too few white gentiles in the world."

He came from a Caribbean island where, he announced with joy, the LAST WHITE FAMILY had married into a mulatto family. That was the kind of thing he LOVED and kept up with.

I understood how someone who had been where he was could feel that way. He might even have had a right to one or two sick attitudes.

But unlike other white gentiles today, I do NOT feel that every Jew has the right to that attitude.

And the reason that leftism has been able to do so much harm to the world is precisely because Christians do not call Jews down on hate the way they would any other human being.
