Them Jews Ain't So Bad After All

For the newcomers if any, I am NOT Jewish. I am Catholic. This post as usual is a continuation of past debates that have been raging on this never-to-be-humble blog. Oh, in case you didn't know, I am by far the smartest person in the entire world. If you have questions, dammit, I got answers.

Reparations, damn Jews, Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and Black folks, etal....

Here we go: It seems that there are some questions raging around this blog about whether or not the people that have "occupied" the Palestinians' land (that is rightfully theirs because they say so) are actually Jewish. While I completely disregard that notion, I have to inflame something just short of a riot, that's just my nature.

I have done a cursory search of information to incite just this type of near-riot and here are my findings......

While the Jewish community is by and large Democrat voters, it seems that a certain segment of the Black community done gone hating on them. I am here to push the agenda that maybe, just maybe, that hostility is misplaced. I can't find any links on the web that gives me a reason for this hatred, but I did stumble across something that peaks my interest. It seems that everywhere that the Black man is enslaved at this particular point in time is ruled by none other than the Arab or Black Muslim. Weird, you would think that it would be otherwise, but what the Hell do I know.

Links, yeah I got 'em.

Many thanks to Imara for raising my awareness and peaking my interests in this topic.

UPDATE FINALLY: There is not one bad article HERE.

I still don't understand it myself, but those last few links, give me some idea from where the hatred stems.

Thanks for playing, Thomas.

Thanks!

I don't think it's possible to transfer comments over to Typepad if you decide to transfer, but it has all the features you'd like (except it makes you pay $180 a year just to play in your own template).

Motime and Mu.Nu are free, but Mu.Nu seems to require your first-born in order to get in.

I have an answer, as always I do, its called racism . . . shooooo, don't tell! And didn't I comment on that slaveholding stuff??? Anyway, we have some slavery still going on here. But it is asians, enslaved as sex workers or as domestics in Saudi households. Makes one sick - oh and Soundboyz if you are out there, all slavery makes me sick! But the fact that we are dwelling on the past and not the present, makes me more sick. I know, here is my solution, cause I always have one, nuke em all!

Oddybobo, I don't know if you want to say that too loud..... being Korean and all.....if you are in fact Korean....just a thought.Definitely not if you're from N. Korea!!!!!

Paul Mitchell said...

Even though soundboyz does have some of his facts right on this topic, there is just one that is blatantly wrong. The transatlantic slave trade was miniscule compared to other and a nonexistent blip compared to what is going on now.

While you can make a good case for Jews being involved with the slave trades centuries ago, your malice is very much misplaced in the climate of the last 200 years.

My suggestion would be to read some of the links posted above.

Wayne World said...

>The transatlantic slave trade was miniscule compared to other and a nonexistent blip compared to what is going on now.

Do you have numbers to back this up, because from what you're saying, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade pales in comparason to the Asian sex slave business and/or domestics in Saudi?

Paul Mitchell said...

Links, soundboyz. And I don't reagrding the Asians.

Wayne World said...

>And I don't reagrding the Asians

That's what I was talking about in response to Oddybobo's comment. Do you have numbers on Saudi domestics? This is ridiculous anyway, are you comparing domestics to the slave trade?

And I read some of those links , but I will check out the rest .

Paul Mitchell said...

I am not sure what you asking. Are you saying that being imprisoned in one's own country is somehow different that beinig imprisoned somewhere else? Is that what you mean by the word 'domestics'?

The Bobo Knitter said...

According to the articles recently posted (see Michelle Malkin for the links) though not comparable completely to our dark past in the transatlantic slave trade, saudi domestics are in fact slaves. Sure the times are different, but slaves they are. Raped, beated, forced to sleep on the ground, not allowed to speak to others, etc . . .

Imara, I don't think I am being insensitive in the least. My point is we are here now, and can do something about the human atrocities that are going on throughout the world. We can't change what happened 200 years ago, we can't rewrite history to make is sunnier, we can't travel backwards and make it right. But, we can do something now, to make sure that people, the world over don't continue to suffer as slaves at the hand of anyone. If that makes me insensitive . . . Sex slaves, forced servitude, the slave trade that continues in Africa and the middle east, its still slavery, and you better believe that the people held as slaves, feel that its the same as slavery at anyother time. The difference in the date changes nothing.

Soundboyz, apology accepted. But you still wrong me. I am not out of touch on the scale and severity of the slave trade in our history. But I am also not out of touch on the scale and severity of the modern-day slave trade.

Wayne World said...

> we can't travel backwards and make it right.

But we can do something(s) now to atone for that attrocity.

Going by your statements, we should say, "yea that slavery thing was so bad, huh? ....Yea....well, let's go get some pizza. Meaning more than lip service should be offered to something that was so cruel and atrocious, on such a large scale.

Or maybe we should just forget about it? Do they even have a memorial , or a building , or a holiday, or a statue, or a coin or a stamp, or something in rememberance of it?

Oddybobo, I know I wronged you , but can we forget about it and move on like slavery? You did say not to dwell in the past and to focus on the future.....Pretty please?

Paul Mitchell said...

Oh, who doesn't like pizza? But, I get so damn dehydrated when I eat it.

Oh, and I proposed what I thought was a good idea in regards to reparation. Guess you must have missed it.

Paul Mitchell said...

Yea, give me shout on e-mail. I'll hook it up.

Did y'all even check out the lighter note post on this entry? I would love to hear comments about that.....I personally laughed my ass off.

Wayne World said...

Frig the lighter notes, Two Dogs.We are discussing serious issues here not some guy that wants to make love to his burger!!!Grow up!!!

Although , I used to work at a Mc Donalds .... yea I ended up getting fired because a lady asked me for the Big and Tasty.......so I whipped it out.......

Sorry ladies, I know that was uncalled for.......so can we forget about it .....like slavery?

Paul Mitchell said...

Okay, you have checked your humor at the door. Greeeaaaaaaaaat.

The Bobo Knitter said...

Alright, alright! Simma down na!

Imara, I'm a lawyer, of course I'd sue their ass! :)

But, I have to say, "a whole race" was not affected. Members of a race were affected by slavery. According to your analysis, some of those members continue to feel those affects.

but no one has said, how paying reparations pays for what was done to the slaves held in the U.S. Oh, but wait, what about the slaves held in other parts of the world at the same time, who pays those reparations? Certainly not me, but I digress. How does paying reparations into a fund that does not go out to the general black populace pay for what was done? There's gotta be a better way. I will think about it, over pizza an a 40 oz. :)

Wayne World said...

^LOL!!!!!!!Good Lord!!!!!LOL!!!!!

Paul Mitchell said...

Oh, it sounds like a game of Edward Fortyhands coming up here.

The Bobo Knitter said...

Wait, I've got it . . . nope, pass me another 40. Anyone up for a game of Eucre?

Paul Mitchell said...

What exactly is Eucre? I'll find pictures of Edward Fortyhands.

Paul Mitchell said...

Here's how we do it in Mississippi.

Is that supposed to be an attempt at a "black" voice.............?

The Bobo Knitter said...

"Simma down Na!" That's from Saturday Night Live . . . and Juliana Margolies. One of my favorite SNL skits ever. Not an attempt at a "black" voice, but I have to say, my adopted sister, who, by the way, is black, says it really good, so my imitation would be of her first and Juliana Margolies second! And for the record, I will never, ever be able to order a Big and Tasty without thinking of you guys!

Wayne World said...

Two Dogs, Cut the Bull crap!!! You know what Imara means. They take over the area, they claim whole counties and towns, they write their stuff on all the buildings, and then they don't allow anyone else to do business in their neighborhoods. Meanwhile , they slowly branch out , setting up in minority hoods, they leech from the community and use their gains to claim more land . They own like 2/3 of Brooklyn, and when I lived there they only used to dwell in Crown Heights and a small part of Bed Stuy!!!!

Paul Mitchell said...

When you they, you make it sound like there is something chromosomically (it ain't a word, don't look it up) altered about the Jewish folks. Is there anything different about them?

The Bobo Knitter said...

That they are chromosomatically altered? Maybe they are. Sometimes I think I am . . . . .
