And, it's not so much about being a racist that is what sets us apart - that is secondary to understanding the jew.

I'm not going to force my views on my kids; if they're anything like me, that would send them running in the opposite direction. I figure the best I can do is to be honest with them about my beliefs, and let them decide whether I was telling them the truth when they're old enough. That's better than what my parents gave me. Everything I know I had to figure out for myself.
