I’ll make a deal with you. I won’t call you a racist hick, if you don’t call me a LIBERAL Jew.
I think you may be taking his remark as personal when it’s aimed at Jewish people collectively. Don’t take it as an attack on you personally, just a reflection of how some of us feel when our friends treat us with suspicion.
I’m a Southerner too, born in VA, who not only understands what is at stake in the physical realm but the spiritual realm as well and it really bothers those of us like me who support Israel and wish her good and not evil, only to be treated poorly by most Jewish people we meet because of a stereotype that isn’t true.
I just figure that it’s a part of the blindness that the Apostle Paul talked about, but it really gets to us sometimes, you know?
Consider it done.
