[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741309, member: 1550"] Copa this is the safest place ever to say exactly how you feel. Dont fear us. We appreciate honesty. As for the population as a whole, I found things similar to you. Upper class people who want us all to think their poop doesnt stink look down on us when we expose a blight because they are snooty! I like M! Also, they also have blights. They just dare not share them. I am no longer traumatized by it, but never forgot the rotten treatment and judgment me amd my family got for not being rich in a rich Jewish neighborhood (and we were Jewish too). My mom told me that non Jews were mean to Jews and Jews stuck together. It was her true experience. My Dads as well. But it was not mine. I was a struggling, alearning disabled student and there was no help for that back then, and you know how important academics are in the Jewish community. Also my family didnt live or buy rich. I got teased for my clothes, our house, our car etc. The few people who accepted me were the few non Jews who were not so rich that were in my classes. There were maybe two each year.. The Jewish kids, supposedly my own people, laughed at me, ridiculed me, even assaulted me...for not being good enough in their eyes. This contributed to but was not the only reason why I left Judiasm. I never lived near Jews again. Once I left that suburb for good and started working at segregated places in Chicago I found that the most compassionate people I met were African American. They understood feeling like a misfit. Or lesser than. I have always gotten along great with Afrucan Americans and other mistreated minorities. They get me. I often wished I had been born into a minority community where people understand struggling. A middle class area of people that were different ethnicities. I think that the richer the area, the whiter that rich area, the more judgment we face. White people never faced discrimmination for race. And I think Jews idenify as caucasians and since many are successful and can pass as white they do the same these days. I am more comfortable in a non upper class neighborhood. I feel everyone is nicer. We help each other. No snooty. (i love that word...snooty lol). Copa I am sorry you shared with people who judged. I hope that never happens again. Ever. I am sorry your son talked to the neighbors! Jeez. That was one thing even Bart never did. That must have hurt. Again I am sorry. You have a gem in M. I understand why he is looked up to. I hope I did not offend you when I explained what happened to me in that rich Jewish neighborhood. I did not mean it to.it could have happened in any upscale neighborhood. Love and light. [/QUOTE]
