   Tell you what I think??????? I literally got the chills watching this video and not GOOD chills but SICK chills!!!! Good for Nicki for excusing that bigot from the table. What a low class, ignorant person…………..love that he went to a tatoo artist that can’t spell!!!! That all adds to his “smartness”! I don’t get the bigotry towards Jews either. I am Jewish and wouldn’t be anything else for all the $$ in the world!!!

   I can’t believe I am actually writing on this website.lol. Just caught a minute of this show with the girl Nikki and she looks just like a girl I used to date, so I googled her and ended up here. Anyway just thought I would give an explanation of all the antisemetism. For six thousand years the whole rest of the world has hated the Jews and tried to completely wipe them off the face of the earth, simply because they are Gods chosen people. God has also blessed them with “you will lend to many and borrow from none”. So, many non Jews dislike the Jews out of jealousy that God is on their side, whether they realize it or not because it is often a spiritual battle. As a bible reading Christian I know God has also said about the Jews: ” I will bless those who bless thee and curse those who curse thee”. So, I will bless them and Israel. God help them that curse them. I also believe Americas long time support for Israel ihas brought the blessings on this nation which have made it so great. My fear is the rise of antisemetism and turning from Israel in this nation. My question is Why is the majority of American Jews so in love with the progressive liberal movement which really is no supporter of the Jew or Israel, not to mention will try and tax them out of all their money? Love him or hate him there has been no stronger supporter of Israel than G.W. Bush, and next election Huckabee is a true supporter and friend of the Jew and Israel.

   Sorry, the guy’s a dick, and so is a person who “blesses them and Israel” solely out of fear of retribution from God. I was born Catholic and I have NEVER understood what anyone ever had against the Jews. I’m sorry; I’ve heard plenty of people say they didn’t like them (or worse), but never did they offer up why. As I’ve aged (I’m 53) and met more and more people (Jews, Baptists, other Protestants, etc.) I’ve never noticed any common traits among any groups. I’m as lost at sea as you are about this.

   By the way, Nikki handled this situation admirably. She’s got that bonehead outclassed by light years. Good job!

   If she is some representative of a tribe, she certainly has my tepee raised!! This is all in good fun of course and, hopefully, not meant to be offensive!! That’s what life is all about- a little perversion here and there has to make a few people laugh!!

   I would totally agree with Jim.

   I think any type of religious hate is wrong, they all act the same. Its a projected hate of a group of people to make themselves somehow feel better.

   She is GORGE

   I think antisemitism is institutionalized. Here’s how I believe it works: The bible is full of stories demonstrating that people who don’t believe in god get punished. So I imagine christians develop a feeling that Jewish people should be helped toward the realization that they would get abused less if they believed in god (Jesus). This is acted out on childhood playgrounds in various ways. Once is starts, the other kids join in, out of sheer relief that mass violence isn’t being directed at them. Of course Romans killed Jesus, not jews. And even if jews had influenced the event, his sacrifice was a neccesary part of his own plan. But try to explain this in the middle of a shit storm of violence. Kids pick up these little sound bites and key words that shape their attitude even if they’ve never been to church. It is sort of a “regular, everyday, background” predjudice.

   A different form of hatred is inculcated in people who have had historical conflicts with jewish people in the middle east. I’m not sure, but I’ve heard there may be things written explicitly into their religion about how to feel about the jewish people.

   And then there was a different kind of prejudice used by the Nazis: Conspircy theory propaganda. Hitler claimed jews were responsible for causing germany to lose WWI, or something to that effect. It allowed him to focus the blame for his failure on a scapegoat rather than internalize those feelings which would have been psychologically depressive. In his case he had a racial vision for his country that didn’t include jews, which made them bad by definition. It is important to point out how this is different because although other countries didn’t have this in common with the Germans, they went along with it for their own institutionalized reasons.

   And finally there are people who don’t like the US. They conflate Israel with the U.S. because they are allies. And they treat jews as if they were the same thing as Israel (Therefore the same as the US) even if they never interacted with Israel. That’s a kind of politically oriented prejudice. I think it explains why so many countries support Palestine at the expense of Irael when they don’t otherwise seem to welcome musims in their own countries.

    I have a point to make. It is: If you are a good looking woman, predjudice flies out the window. Then it comes right back in when you leave. That’s why you don’t understand it. Because you see a distorted version of it.

    For instance: A jewish guy walks toward the entrance of a grocery store. A hispanic guy sees him and spits in his path for some reason related to, oh, lets say the reconquista movement.

    There is hate because there are people out there who want you to die because you are in what they think is their country. I’m talking about Mexico vs the US in this case, but you know what I mean.

    Those same guys would date you in a minute.
