Many of us can probably can relate even more to this if we were in public school in the late 50s

3. HORRIFYING read--because it's all too true.

The big finish is just so:

Not all Jewish organizations have been silent in the face of Trump's anti-Semitic supporters. "We've been alarmed that Mr. Trump hasn't spoken out vociferously against these anti-Semites and racists and misogynists who continue to support him," Anti-Defamation League leader Jonathan Greenblatt, said in July. "It's been outrageous to see him retweeting and now sourcing material from the website and other online resources from this crowd."
There's a reason why so many anti-Semites are going for Trump. It's not that he's an anti-Semite. He's something worse. He's an influential public figure who trades on anti-Semitism, who benefits from it, who enables and tolerates and excuses and pumps it, and who, most crucially, cannot afford to lose the votes of his admirers who hate Jews.
Just as he cannot afford to lose the votes of his admirers who bear strong prejudice against women, Muslims, Hispanics.
He has given a podium to bigotry, an arena stage to hatred. 
Donald Trump may be the grandfather to a Jewish baby. But if that baby grows up in a nation ruled by Trump, one day he may be the one Jew at that dinner table to ask why his grandfather helped make anti-Semitism American again.

5. I grew up at that time, a scant 14 miles north of the North Shore

There was a boy in my 6th and 7th grade classes who was Jewish. He was teased mercilessly. Like was one of the names he was called. There were other Jewish families in the neighborhood who didn't have to endure that. This boy was new to the neighborhood and as a result was the target of relentless teasing. The family moved away in two years; probably not the result of the teasing he endured.

8. Nevertheless....It will stay with him probably..

For the rest of his life! Our family was probably one of 20 Jewish families who first came to the town.

9. I have no doubt it is still with him. Which was the point of my post.

10. No surprises.

Well, I am sure there are some who are surprised, mainly those who wouldn't know anti-Semitism if it bit them in the ass (most can't even correctly define the damn word) and of course, there are those who think anti-Semitism isn't an important enough bigotry to discuss much less acknowledge.

Dog whistles are useless to their deaf ears, so unless they hear the whistles of a train, anti-Semitism doesn't exist.
