YOU MAY CALL A PERSON ANY hateful name, but as long as the hater says “I’m sorry” the offense is forgiven.
If I call someone a nigger, a chink, a spik, a kike, or a wop — that’s OK as long as I quickly say “I’m sorry” even if I am not sorry and even if I repeat the hateful words tomorrow.
What is wrong with the picture?
Of late, the “news” — mostly the blogs and a few printed media but rarely on tv — have described how this or that celebrity has spouted anti-Semitic remarks or anti-Israel remarks.
The latter I write off as pitifully stupid people who believe everything they are told about the tiny country.
- It practices apartheid.
It is racist.
It mistreats Muslims,
It won’t make peace with people whose sole goal in life is to kill Israelis — imagine that.
But ask the Israel basher when was the last time he or she was in Israel and nine times out of ten the answer is “Never.”
Where did the haters get their information? Did they hear it on the grape vine?
Would they listen to someone who HAD been there and knew the truth? Rhetorical question.
Hate begets hate
If you hate someone — it makes no difference to whom your hate is directed — the hate will be returned.
Many whites hate blacks because a few blacks riot and destroy their own neighborhoods.
Many blacks hate whites because a few white cops abuse and, yes, murder, unarmed blacks.
Xenophobic white trash hate Latinos who will do the work the whites stupidly think they are too good to do.
- By the way, don’t blame the illegals for taking the jobs the whites won’t do; blame the whites who employ the illegals, often at wages far below the minimum.
Some Latinos hate the white trash for making them work far below their capabilities; it is the only job they are allowed to do.
- Shades of nazi Germany and the U.S. with its minority quotas at universities, jobs, etc. Make no mistake, a majority of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, a/k/a WASPS want to keep the “club” closed to all who may be different.
Celebrity stupidity
One “celeb” after making racist remarks, admitted that he really never knew anything about the people he was maligning.
He just accepted as true what others — in the mold of the fool Farrakhan — told him.
He has eyes, but cannot see; ears but cannot hear.
But he apologized to a self-proclaimed leader of the group he attacked and was “forgiven.”
According to an article by Shmuley Boteach (https://tinyurl.com/y65husdd) who, hopefully, did his homework,
- Recently, Mort Klein of the Zionist Organization of America engaged Ice Cube in a two-hour conversation that was treated as an act of absolution for the antisemitic rapper. Mort was convinced, according to JTA, that “the rapper was not anti-Semitic.”
According to JTA, Ice Cube has “drawn widespread condemnation after repeatedly tweeting anti-Semitic images and support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has disparaged Jews over the years, including comparing them to termites.”
I’m sure that Mort’s intentions were noble, and I do not question whether we in the Jewish community should be doing outreach to those whose hatred might be reversed. But I am increasingly disturbed at the growing number of celebrities granted clemency for public racism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry through private conversations rather than public penance.
If Ice Cube wants to repudiate his long history of anti-Semitism, he must do it in the forum where that Jew-hatred was uttered: in public.
Ice T is not to be confused with Ice Cube
Boteach suggests that Instead of rushing into dialogues and granting errant clemency, we should demand public penance and repudiation of vile anti-Semitic words.
These haters, regardless of who hates whom, are unrepentant recidivists.
I’m not sure if they all are idiots or if they grew up (physically, certainly not mentally) where they had to accept “as gospel” everything they were told, and now lack the capability to think, to question.
I’m not sure how best to fight the haters.
Education won’t change them.
Perhaps forcing them to live with their victims might at least open their eyes and take away the excuse “I didn’t know any (pick a minority) when I was young.”
PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
