That man, Yankel Rosenbaum, did absolutely nothing. He was murdered by a lynch mob, which was fueled by the words of Sharpton. Rosenbaum was not even an American. This happened where I live, in Brooklyn. The mayor at the time, David "Do Nothing" Dinkins was also responsible for tying the hands of the police during that time. I've met Dinkins and he's a nice guy, but a hack that never should have been mayor of NYC.
I hear that. Mob mentality is a real problem for humans. I personally thought that Al shouldve beenbrought on charges, but i suspect that would fueled even more racial tension. what an asshole, sharpy is.
All I'm saying is that if the Democrats keep courting people like Sharpton, they'll get what they deserve. I've already expressed my disgust with Bush, whom I voted for.
Agreed. Al did wonders for Cindy's credibility. However, i think he should be commended for at least waking many blacks to sympathise and vote against the current policies.
What is happening in Israel has nothing to do with an orthodox cult in Brooklyn, or, in the case of Yankel Rosenbaum, his home in Australia. I do not think that they (Hassidic Jews) even serve in the armed forces of Israel, but I may be mistaken on that. I can say one thing for certain: they do NOT mug anybody in the streets.
are you sure you want to use "They". It's positive generalisation, but its still generalisation. One of the concerns i drew from your previous posts was that you seemed to group the actions of a few into categories pertaining to many.
Believe it or not, Canadians have murdered and robbed people...and some even dont like hockey! :D
They're like the Amish, in dress and in other ways. If you don't like them, fine, but don't think that they are in league with ultra right wing warmongers, because that just isn't their bag. They're more interested in the Talmud, and going to the synagogue - NOT in killing people, either here, or in Israel, or anywhere else.
I have no problem with "jews". im not anti-semetic at all. Im against many semetic policies. i dont believe that jews or blacks or whites or arabs or anyone should be viewed as having been through "tougher" times than other groups of people, and thus deserve to be treated differently.
You dont believe in affirmative action, right? Neither do i.
The Jews that I knew (mostly "Reformed"), while growing up in brooklyn, supported the Civil Rights movement, and backed their opinions up with donations to the NAACP, United Negro College Fund, and many other charities. Almost all of them voted Democrat. Sharpton acts like the Jews are doing harm to the Blacks, simply because they have a higher income - but what he forgets is that the Jews hired African Americans when others wouldn't - and were the biggest supporters of their voting, housing, equal opportunity, and other rights.
A friend's father once told me about living in the projects during the 60's. he told me how tough it was for blacks to get jobs, and that the jews took advantage of the situation and made many work for minumum wage with little benefits. Of course, there were undoubtedly many businesses that didnt practice this, but alot did.
Not really arguing, just something to think about in case it never crossed your mind/
He's selling the idea that they exploit the African Americans, but that's hogwash. They've consistently been there when other whites weren't, and many jews have gotten disgusted by the anti-jewish rhetorical bashings that they've unfairly received.
I find that american jews are alot better than israelis when it comes to inter-racial interaction. Maybe its due to the cultural differences of location...
Like I said, I'm no fan of Israel, but these domestic-front problems have nothing to do with it. The Arabs may be a little darker than Europeans, but they are NOT African, and will never do for people of African descent what the Jews have.
