Why don't you chime in with your observations?

The comments about blacks is strange. I don't see them as anti-Jew.

I've experienced the same among blacks.
But its kinda strange.
Because amongst them I find the biggest Jew lovers and Jew haters, I just don't get it.

Yes, true! From one extreme to the other! Of course it's just my experience but it's interesting that we've encountered the same thing.

Do both of you dress the same? Not being funny.

Back on topic-
I imagine Trump's cabinet picks are making liberals blood boil and dead lebs turn in their graves. Gotta love it!

Blacks are not anti-Jew any more than Jews are anti-Black. There are plenty of racist Jews, and plenty of antisemitic blacks.

But do you know what is more strange? Blacks in Crown Heights use Swastikas and Nazi slogans to hurl hate at their Jewish neighbors. These are not isolated incidents, they are commonplace. I often wonder if they realize that Hitler would have killed them just as quickly had they been around.

I will say, that the only people who will stop me on the street and tell me how amazing Jews are are black people. This is true in my hometown, South Africa, and throughout the States.

I would say that in places like Crown Heights, it's a little more than meets the eye at first. I would say that a portion of the Black community might feel threatened (not unlike the more traditional feel threatened by the young modern crowd, though at a very different scale). But once they have a personal experience or interaction, they are excellent friends and neighbors (mostly).

Its not about supporting or being against Trump. I think Trump was person of the year regardless of whether he won or not. And Time definitely doesnt only choose people who were important in a positive way. Otherwise Hitler would not have been Man of the Year

Or maybe Time is still the worthless drivel it's always been. The fact that they had the audacity to refer to a sadistic butcher - who, it would be more appropriate to call an animal- as man of the year is beyond belief.

Totally wrong. There's no way Trump gets this if he doesn't win. Which is what makes the ironic incongruity of the covers laughable.
