Shocked - I think "black"...PNN - thanks.<br /><br />Shocked - I think "black" is now the accepted term. Is it possible that "African American" is now offensive?<br /><br />Ish Yehudi - I don't think the patterns and the systems are the best option. I just spent the last week in a community where the people are beyond American expectations and standards. It was lovely. They have quirks, too, but people are not so bound. <br /><br />I think protection is available as welcoming all types of Jews of all creeds and types. When my mother first came to the USA, she went to the local BY that accepted everyone - and I mean EVERYONE. There was no worries about bad influences. With tolerance there is no fear.<br /><br />SG - Aw, I'm blushing. As for wearing makeup on dates, my father kept screaming at me to put on more. Then I started wearing the "good stuff" for dates, occasions, and Shabbos. Then I just started slathering it on full time. It is incredibly addictive.PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350667776363447301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-84626396923110049462011-05-19T10:58:43.713-04:002011-05-19T10:58:43.713-04:00Frumanista, don't listen to such judgements. I...Frumanista, don't listen to such judgements. I think you're amazing! I also like clothing and make-up, so what? A Jewish woman should always strive to look put together. <br /><br />And btw, pre-age 24, did you wear make up on dates? :)Sefardi Galhttp://sefardigal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-35818448958876448492011-05-19T01:17:18.979-04:002011-05-19T01:17:18.979-04:00Fantastic post, I think we need to recognize that ...Fantastic post, I think we need to recognize that individuals don't just fit into systems, we should take each person as they are. <br /><br />Still, the systems and patterns exist for a reason, mostly protective purposes.Ish Yehudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559113766026730554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-10593586734680983742011-05-18T23:58:44.286-04:002011-05-18T23:58:44.286-04:00Interesting post!

What it sounded like to me is that the left (liberals) find/exaggerate dirt on the right (conservative) politicians, feed it to the media (controlled by the left) and BAM, there goes the candidate. Mccain wasn't a lawyer and I don't think he lost the election because of that. Obama WAS a lawyer, albeit not for very long, but I don't think that was the reason why he won. I mean, being the first African-American* president is definitely an "interesting dimension" no? Even aside from the race issue, there was a ton of "interesting" stuff about him...yet, he won.<br /><br />I don't agree with Morris about that part, but as to your point that we should praise ipseity instead of denounce it as we (Jews more so than others, but this post appears to be all-inclusive so I won't continue with this train of thought..) do, I completely agree with you. It's the need for conformity that everyone wants for some reason that has brought so much pain and suffering (and general stupidity!) to the world.<br /><br />*Is "Black" considered politically incorrect nowadays? I keep on hearing different opinions on the matter.%Shocked%https://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-37058812364818523322011-05-18T23:08:40.912-04:002011-05-18T23:08:40.912-04:00The Morris trilogy happens to be excellent.
