As an American this doesn't help me understand how big something is. I am only capable of understanding sizes of things as compared to American football fields.

I think it’s more of a Pippin situation. Pippin has two unique endings that changed between the original and touring/revival.

Reply to comment by looktowindward in TIL the 'Negro Motorist Green Book' was based on an earlier 'Jewish Vacation Guide' book which outlined places that Jews were not unwelcome to stay in America in 1917. by aripy
Well I guess there's no way to win with someone who will go to any lengths to take anything said out of context.
Levitt set the standard. When given the choice he allowed his own people in and actively discriminated against people of color. What else I am saying is that people on this site like to claim white saviorism fromt he Jewish American population that never happened. You can read even the times of Israel which is a biased source that states. This did not happen. I'm not going to waste my time on someone who's going to call me an anti semite for calling out this sort of misinformation and behavior. The harsh reality is that Jewish Americans were just as racist as other Americans. This isn't a collective blame what I wrote is what historians have wrote about the issues and topics at hand. To them black Americans were just another scapegoat. Someone else to blame that isn't them. Keeping their heads low. It's not a pretty thing to admit or say. But it's allegedly what happened. I can't say I blame them or anything but that they should not be trying to represent them as the saviors of African Americans which they are not. Though I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, just misinformation. And anyone could have spread it but coincidentally it's always spread using Albert Einstein to suggest it. But that's also, just a coincidence. I guess more appropriate to call it a myth.
