Is that all you got out of my post? That I'm outraged that Jews don't get as much appreciation as blacks? There's still 6.5 million of them in our country. I don't think it has anything to do with population figures, it's just the lingering bitterness/cloud of guilt that exists between blacks and whites.

If anything, I'd think the smaller the minority, the more attention that would need be brought to their plight (that is, if I thought these [insert race] History Months were necessary in the first place) since they'd be lacking as much of a voice.
