When it comes to our ancestors, they may have done things which _THEY_ should be ashamed of, not me. Should I be ashamed because of my Jewish religion or maybe that my dad is from Portugal and my mom from morocco? I'm proud of who and what I am.
In short, Yes I am Jewish and no I don?t hold any German responsible for any of the crimes committed during world war 2 (unless they did have involvement in it), just as the black shouldn?t hold any one person responsible for enslaving their ancestors. It's only repeating the cycle. Hell, i even own a German car and helped to support their economy a little.
Point is, where is my Jewish History Month, Why doesn?t the government shutdown to celebrate my holidays?

Nice mix! Did you get any of the languages? Portuguese, Arabic, French? I speak a few languages but not portugues which sucks cuz im heading to Brazil next week
... I hope they comprende espagnol.
I guess the point is, this is a national holiday for a person ... if there was a similar dude who did something to liberate jews in america, i suppose there would merit a holiday commemorating that person. I think were talking apples and oranges here. MLK is not a religious holiday, i dont think of it as an african american holiday, i think its an american holiday celebrating an amazing dude... if americans took a day off for every religions holidays we'd never be work, and then we'd be french
faites pas le bordel mes amis francaises, c'est pas un blague ;)
