Why does Jesse Jackson think it's ok to be racist against Jews, but NEVER against blacks?

Question

I just read the article where Jesse Jackson referred to New York as "Jew York" and "Hymie-Town". He claims that "those people" are part of a conspiracy to keep black people down.

Could it be that he hates Jews so much, because while the Holocaust happened 50 years ago, fresh in the lifetimes of many Jews, they don't whine and cry about it asking for reparations and refusing to work? Is it because slavery, having been more than a century and a half ago, has no survivors who can remember what it was like, who still bear the marks of their oppression? Is it because unlike blacks, the Jews have typically been succesful in buisiness matters and politics, and that they forgive German survivors of Hitlers army far more than blacks forgive white people who weren't even alive during the days of slavery? Is it because he understands that while Jews have far greater reason to be bitter, they usually aren't, proving that the only chains blacks wear today are by their own choice?

Answer 1

You're making this too complicated. He can make way more money being racist against Jews than he could by being racist against blacks. Read shakedown.

Answer 2

Jesse Jackson is wrong talking that crap. A lot of ethnies were pretty ****** up by slavery throughout the history. Black people still suffer racism and is paid less than they worth earn. Jews suffer too, but there ain't no rejection by his appearances when they try to catch a job. World today has a new kind of discrimination: RICH PEOPLE vs BROKE PEOPLE it ain't that racial no mo. Black people with money are respected, brown people with money are respected. Unfortunately the biggest part of black people are still on the BROKE side, so that's why we are in our majority DOUBLE DISSED, 'cause our COLOR, and 'cause of OUR STATUS. REAL TALK. IT's a CASH'S WORLD, welcome to the DEVIL'S PIE. Everybody gotta get his own peace of it. Play on playa. If you're scared go to the church, it's survival of the fittest, no matter what the hell he looks like.

Answer 3

I don't watch the news so, this is new news to me. I am a Canadian non Jewish person who believes that the Jewish people and their persecution are completely Biblical. They have been blamed for almost everything but, to read that a "Man of God" made such a statement, completely appalls me. I believe that all the false believers, will be weeded out before this time is done. Let's hope his credibility hits 0 and stays there. Humbleness has a way of changing people. He is a false leader of the Christian believers. He should step down for poisoning the minds of the public and for "persecuting" a people [I thought that Hitler was dead] let alone God's chosen people. Way to go 'MR'. Jackson. Your credibility is zilch with me.

Answer 4

First off I 'd like to say that the Jews had their hand in enslaving blacks....Oh yes!, go read some books not funded by Jewish ppl & learn something new.

2nd-Jewish ppl can pretty much blend into white society, a black person can never do that unless they're extremely light, so it stands to reason that Jews would be more successful in business.

The Holocaust didn't just kill Jewish ppl, Hitler was taking out everybody who wasn't the "pure white race".

White ppl seem to think that black ppl bring up slavery b/c we're not over it....no, slavery was just the beginning. Slavery was the foundation to all the racial discrimination & prejudice that STILL go on in the US.

When you see a black person, you know they're black right off the top, when you see a Jewish person sometimes you can't tell so comparing the 2 groups is null b/c there is no comparison really. Jewish ppl used to hide the fact that they were Jewish, they used to change their names to not sound like Jewish names. White ppl changed our names during slavery, but that doesn't help us out b/c WE STILL LOOK BLACK!

Answer 5

hi (((Eartha))) Is making a sweeping generalization discriminatory? i don't think of so. Inflammatory specific. Counterproductive, specific, in spite of the shown fact that it is not discriminatory. Discrimination may be to avert a muslim getting a job even nevertheless they have been the main suitable qualified. I ought to declare that from my time right here in R&S I quite have discovered to be greater distrustful of persons in faith than before. I do, in spite of the shown fact that, have 2 acquaintances right here in NZ that are muslim. this is fantastically unusual as there are very very few followers of Islam in my united states. I ought to declare that that couple are 2 of the main lovable those that it extremely is been my privilege to be conscious of, yet I nonetheless despise their faith. i ask your self how long our friendship will final as quickly as we've a frank dialogue approximately our religious perspectives? If mainstream Islam have been to be a splash greater self extreme, then i might reasonable my perspectives, however the debacle over the present definitely everybody Draw Muhammad Day experience exhibits Islam in undesirable gentle: risky, divisive, parochial in the extreme and unable to tolerate valid grievance. a similar applies to Zionism and fundamentalist Christian concept - for the checklist. You made the factor that there's no distinction between making a racial slur and making a slur against Islam. I disagree. One won't be able to help the colour of the exterior wherein one is born, yet with reasonable preparation and the utility of recommendations means, you may exchange one's religious and social perspectives. no count number if one ought to is up for debate. the subject lies with Islamic clerics' intolerance in direction of any standpoint different than their own (to wit, Pakistan's censorship of fb, the sanctioned loss of existence threats against Salman Rushdie...). This makes that talk impossible on a extensive scale. Am I conflating Islamic management with all followers of Allah? probably, yet there are center values in the religion that carry genuine in any different case it does not be a valuable faith. The center values of all valuable religions have a edge of belligerence in direction of competing faiths. till religions of all stripes tone themselves down somewhat, i will proceed to hate faith, yet like the religious. i visit additionally proceed to make generalist statements approximately faith because of the fact there quite isn't any incorrect thank you to attack the matters.

Answer 6

Not one intelligent person (black or white) that I know approves of anything Jesse Jackson does.

Answer 7

Mr. Jackson appears to be prejudiced, doesn't he?!?

It is interesting how many black persons cry out against racism, yet they are guilty of racism against other cultures.

Many people, white people included, are chained by their own choices.

Of course, such barbaric historical fact is grievable. To continue to cry out against it, as Mr. Jackson does, and inflict racial slurs on Jewish people is abhorrent.

Mr. Jackson needs a reality check.

Answer 8

Hey, I don't mind at all. Let this phony rant and rave all he wants because he just keeps turning the more intelligent blacks against him. These are the ones who vote.

Answer 9

Jesse Jackson is one of the worst examples of what a Christian should be. He is not only racist but also is not a "real" Christian. He has a child out of wedlock, he regularly takes the Lords name in vain. I have learned to overlook him and "Rev" Al too.

Answer 10

No one really likes Jesse Jackson anyway
