Orange Jewlious. An Israelite who has a spray tan.

This whole Mel Gibson thing has got me thinking lately. Well, two things actually. 1) What Women Really Want, is for you to not punch them in the face. 2)Why do Jews have a special word for racism?
If you hate black people, you're a racist right? Same thing for hating Mexican's. Right?
But if you hate Jews. You're Anti-Semetic. Why do the Jews get an extra special word to describe the racist people who hate them. What makes them so goddamn special? Do they really have that much of an entitlement complex?

So I did some learnin this afternoon and found out that a Semite is generally regarded as the group of individuals in and around the Middle East. Which of course is bullshit. When someone is referred to as an Anti-Semite, we all know that they don't hate Algerian's, or Soccer moms from Yemen. They hate Jews.
So why the extra special word when the old standby of "racist" works just fine?

I seriously want to know. I emailed Mel, but his out of office is on.


Editors note:
I have a couple of Jew friends, and they have told me that its insensitive to refer to them as "Jews". And I need to call them "Jewish". But they can go fuck themselves.

Did you hear that Dr. Laura said nigger on her show and is now going to have to retire? Which is good because I hate that bitch. This is bullshit! The whole race issue is so one sided it's sickening. Refering to a whole race of people with a word like "nigger, spic, jew, wagon burner, habib is not and cannot be as harmful as calling a fat kid fat for half his life. How often do you see a truck load of honkey's rolling through the hood yelling out nigger at the top of their lungs? Or people walking in to a bank and asking to see the jew motherfucker that runs the place? Never! What you do see is a generation of fucklings that are so sensitive to anything that doesn't have the fucking Apple logo on it that they can bitch, moan and cry their way to a scholarship or United Negro fund for being a fucking "minority". You and I are the minority and we don't get any special treatment, but we don't ask for handout's either. We've earned and learned from our mistakes.
If a jew has a problem with being called a jew, well then I guess he'd better go get himself hit in the head with a shoulder fired rocket from his sand nigger, 7 Eleven owning neighbor.

With all of your vitriol, there is the salient truthful point. Certainly being called a fat kid his whole life is more damaging to a person than Kramer shouting at a comedy club. But then again. What if your a fat black guy?

I seriously don't understand why calling a Jew a "Jew" is inflammatory, but calling them "Jewish" is okay? It reminds me of an episode of 30 Rock when Jack Donagy calls someone Puerto Rican, and then he does a double take and says, "I have no idea why, but calling someone a Puerto Rican sounds extremely racist"
Awesome.

Another forgotten point, that I never remember: Why is it racist to call Japanese people "Nips"? Japan is an American word, they refer to their homeland as "Nippon", hence, they're all Nips.

All of this is either extremely well thought out, or I'm a huge fucking racist.

At first I was going to be cute and defend the Semites, play the Devil's advocate if you will. But then I thought of Cheech(that loud-mouthed, pot smoking, kosher hypocrite at the Lep) and how he is so willing to throw out a classic ant-semitic joke but if an American Mutt such as myself should do the same, he's ready to throw down. Or how, on the advice of J.B., that it's only acceptable for me to use the "N" word on two conditions:
1. I must be friends and have a level of respect with my dark skinned homies.
2. That it is not spelled n-i-g-g-e-r but n-i-g-g-a.

Sometimes the thought about the billion wastes of flesh breathing my air scares me more than any other impending doom lurking unseen, ready to pounce and take my life in some lengthy, torturous way. Seriously, people who use these words as some kind of hateful weapon is far worse than the thought they are desperately trying to convey. They are not comedians, not witty satirists, not even excusable, ignorant morons. They are an affront to the Human Race. As Bieber is to Music, as Twilight is to Literature, as FLDS is to Mormons. On the flip-side, anyone who takes up the banner of religious or ethnic sensitivity is equally disgusting and offensive.
The one comfort I have is, by their use of these words and actions, I can single out the evil and safely withdraw myself from their presence.

On a side note: What ever happened to Polock jokes? I miss them.

So Advalida..... I'm a little confused. Is it okay or not to use racist words when I'm not being hateful?

Advalida said...

To be clear, I really don't care. I could give a shit less if Canadiens get all pissed off just because some Hillbilly makes fun of them. I don't believe in racist ideology, so fuck 'em if they can't take a joke and joke 'em if they can't take a fuck.

The bottom line though, is that racist words were born of hatred. So no matter in what context they are used, those words and phrases still mean what they mean. No it isn't right to use them when, by your proven intelligence, you could clearly come up with something better. But hey, Wanda Sykes has the same right to open her annoying, racist mouth in jest as people to get all uppity and butt hurt.
Fuck 'em.

"My grandma isn't racist, but come to think of it she did refer to a broken beer bottle as a nigger knife." I'm taking all of the racist shit I've ever said even the shit about Canidians back. What I'll do with it when I get it back? I'm not sure.
