I'm in agreement with you.
No single PERSON grants you anything. The Bill of Rights does NOT give you the right to free speech, right to bear arms, etc. It states that YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FROM BIRTH.
Jews were slaves for hundreds of years. Do we hear them say that they cannot succeed, that they were being kept down? Possibly, I don't know, but I do know that their community takes care of themselves as best as they can to promote themselves and empower themselves.
Jewish ghettos existed here in NYC. Do they still exist? In fact the word "ghetto" was applied to them FIRST before it was applied to the black community if I recall my history correct.
