It doesn't matter--rwl is not a candidate desperate for votes. I'm sure all WASP politicians have referred to Jews as much worse than "hymies", but Jackson--a man who's been called "nigger"--ought to know how it feels. It's clear to me that JJ really doesn't like Jews, that he feels that they, we, are somehow responsible for the continued oppression of Blacks. He sees a Jewish slumlord and blames not the system that causes of ghettoes, but Jews. Easier, but stupid, and for a politician trying to build a coalition, it is invidious. But what do I know--I'm just another hymie from Hymietown. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 02 Mar 84 [12 Ventose An CXCII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7261 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!ihuxq!ken *** ***
