Edelman, who is Jewish, wants to focus on both races pulling together because of the hate that Blacks and Jewish people have faced for years.
“How about we go to DC and I take you to the Holocaust Museum. And you take me to the Museum of African American history and culture”
“And we have those uncomfortable conversations”
Edelman is a class act for this statement and both parties can learn from making the DC trip something that both players can utilize in their communities going forward.
