It wasn&#x27;t uncommon to hear in Eastern Europe a short while ago that &quot;Jews control the world&quot; and that&#x27;s why we should take their power from them. Clearly absurd, but that&#x27;s how people felt. (And I&#x27;m not making points about the Nazis, I&#x27;m making points about Poland in 1989 during the fall of Communism.)<p>But now we hear &quot;white men control the world,&quot; and are expected to take their power away.<p>Just because they&#x27;re similar doesn&#x27;t mean they&#x27;re the same, I realize. But we should at least be self-aware about that similarity, because it means <i>something.</i>
