: : I don't see Christians running around spitting on Jews in the streets for what happened to Jesus.
such a statement? Just because Mel Gibson's father said the Holocaust didn't exist doesn't make it true. Guess you wouldn't see anti-Semitism but I have experienced it more than once in my life in the 60s and 70s. I kept my identity hidden for many years (I was married to someone with the last name of Scott so it didn't raise suspicions). Only 4 years ago did I go back to using my birth name because I don't care what the misguided, hateful people say to me anymore. However, it took me years to get tough enough to resist it and other people may not be able to ward off senseless persecution. But persecution still exists in the US. Blacks are still persecuted in the US in many areas. Maybe you don't see that either.
