What we have in common

What we have in common?

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Jo Cox, MP.

“Both blacks and Jews have known Egypt”

 “Jews have known it as certain death (the killing of the firstborn, then the ovens and gas chambers). Blacks have known it as death and terror by bondage.”  Deborah, Golda, and Me, Letty Cottin Pogrebin (1991)

Both groups have in the past been made powerless and victims of persecution. 

German praise for America's institutional racism, previously found in Hitler's Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and radical Nazi lawyers were advocates of the use of American models.

Both blacks and Jews lived in ghettos. 

Black and Jewish people benefit more when the world moves toward a society of merit in which religious, ethnic, and racial barriers are unimportant.
