that separated its citizens by their ethnic and religious make up. He advocated a society where people were judged by the content of their character not their religious or cultural affiliation.
To drive this point even more, he would have never of wanted to convert a state into a white state, a black state or a christian state, or a Jewish state. People should read all of his writings and speeches before talking.
The african american and the jewish communities have had a contentious past, on many levels. Jews in many ways are elitist (like the germans), and it is the height of arrogance to believe that you are chosen and that god has given YOU personally the land. I feel the same way about the Germans and European colonialist. PEACE ALL |
