umm
Hey Thrasher,
do you actually know that King is Jewish? Has he ever said he was Jewish? Or are you only basing your assumption on his last name? 'Cause I gotta tell ya, Kaufman is not an exclusively Jewish name, it's German.
And even if Mr Kaufman is in fact Jewish, he's never ever spoken about events as a Jewish American, but rather a fan of sports. For example you'll never see him write "Speaking as a Jewish American I feel that etc etc etc." (you know, like you always do)...his creed has no bearing whatsoever on his analyis, but it sure seems to have a bearing on your reading of everything he writes...I reckon that says more about you than him.
Seems to me that one shouldn't make assumptions about another's race or creed...pot meet kettle.
