Considering how odd it felt to start my reply that way, I can only imagine how wacky it would seem to want to start this post that way!
Well, I was all, "OK, it is probably not the best thing to start a post about anti-semitism by saying something that would pretty much have to be blasphemous to Christian ears." I am not that obnoxious.
I don't want to enjoy the rights of being in the majority and the hell of it is that it's SO EASY to just coast on that one by ignoring that it exists.
I applaud you for this -- I agree, because I know that in terms of my own privilege it's all too easy either to ignore the problem or just say, "well, there's nothing I can do about this, it's too big for me." So, you know, thank you, and I think you're doing something really marvelous here, and something we can all imitate.
