10. Burt Prelutsky is Jewish, not Christian.
He used to write for the Jewish Journal of LA.

Prelutsky said:

If we were a racist society, Oprah Winfrey, your fairy godmother, certainly wouldn't be a billionaire; she'd be fetching someone's mint julep. And Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice wouldn't grow up to be secretaries of state; they'd be sweeping out the stables. And Will Smith and Denzel Washington wouldn't be movie stars; they'd be in the fields picking cotton.



But shouldn't that same line of reasoning apply to anti-semitism? If successful blacks are proof that racism is dead, then aren't successful Jews proof that anti-semitism is also dead?


Oh, I know. That's diffrunt...
