When the comments take on the full swing of bickering a post must be made. This is in reference to last weeks pizza post. Yes this is a serious post, no I will not make this blog into a serious one. Ok so basically our dear friend Headbanger used the K-word and after our dear friend Utubefan was offended, used the classic its just like black people using the N-word with each other.
For some reason this excuse sounds invalid, thats like saying the famous George Costanza line of “I have many black friends” to prove you are not racist. The fundamental problem with the whole situation is that I am biased- for the word Kike does not offend me. However those of a different generation with more blatant exposure to Antisemitism are more likely to take this word to heart then us stupid youths.
Like the title says- is the word KIKE offensive when used by a Jew. I am curious to see what peoples thoughts are. Even if it is not offensive, shouldn’t it be one of those words left unsaid, we do not need anymore self hating Noam Chomsky types. Then again you have those of mostly older generations including my dad who do not purchase German products- and find German cars particularly offensive.
I always thought that if you were boycotting German products for their support of killing Jews- you should boycott IBM, Ford and GM because these companies especially Ford were in much support of the final solution. Watson of IBM claims to have not known what was going on, as does GM which owned Opel during the war- sure!
And what’s the deal with Jews driving around in Gas Guzzling SUV’s that support Arab Countries more than we should. One would think that all of the Rabbonim would be setting examples by driving around hybrids and electric cars.
The most offensive thing to me is the way that Jews try insulate themselves from other Jews- with no goals for achdus, just goals for moving to the right to exclude other Jews.
Ok I am done- too much seriousness for one week.
