今天大家都知道犹太人在美国社会的地位,精英遍布,控制很多行业。
可是,历史上,犹太人也是 被限制的。
In 1922, Harvard's president, A. Lawrence Lowell, proposed a quota on the number of Jews gaining admission to the university. Lowell was convinced that Harvard could only survive if the majority of its students came from old American stock.
Lowell argued that cutting the number of Jews at Harvard to a maximum of 15% would be good for the Jews, because limits would prevent further anti-Semitism. Lowell reasoned, “The anti-Semitic feeling among the students is increasing, and it grows in proportion to the increase in the number of Jews. If their number should become 40% of the student body, the race feeling would become intense.”
犹太人用了 15年的努力,
In the late 1930s, James Bryant Conant, Lowell's successor as president, eased the geographic distribution requirements, and Jewish students were once again admitted primarily on the basis of merit.
我们看看伟大的犹太裔领袖-- harry starr (请记住这个名字),说:
“The Jew cannot look on himself as a problem.... Born or naturalized in this country, he is a full American.”
他进一步指出:
If admitting all qualified Jews to Harvard meant a change in the traditional social composition of the student body, so be it。
他拒绝,
to hear any hokum about 'pure' American stock as a way to limit Jewish admissions to Harvard.
这15年的努力是漫长的,很多时候是没有希望的。但是,伟大的Harry Starr 坚持了下来。
犹太人最终实现了:
The Jew , born or naturalzied in this country, is a FULL American.
藤校的限制取消了, 民族的精英在美国真正的立足了。
而不是 依附于人,靠别人的党鞭施舍。
为了个人的利益,背弃公理正义族裔。
各位领袖们,可否把眼光放远些?
团结起来,树立一套规则,组合一个大的平台。每个领袖都有机会发挥!
民主党能够团结,共和党能够团结,拉丁裔可以团结,非裔可以团结。
犹太人可以团结,可以从无家可归,到今天!
我们不行吗?
美国独立的前,13 州的代表们不是 座下来建立了 联合合众国吗?
我们不行吗?
