Your answer reminds me of affirmative action. the issue with preferential
treatment of non whites because they were suppressed in the past. I did not
own slaves and i did not do any of the things you discribe above. so
therefore,
no it does not answer the question. unfortunately you are doing exactly what
you critisize jordon for. You have taken the question, made it into
something nebulous and avoided the direct answer.
proposition:
you are invited to perform a concert where women ONLY would be allowed to
attend and no men were allowed to perform...would you accept the gig?
you are invited to a seder for women only (take Debbie Friedman out of the
picture...). Would you go?
Does your conviction of equal access go both ways?
