about an Irishman and you think it is okay. Suppose Noam stars telling dago
jokes, would that bother you? |

haven't criticized others for using a pen name. I thought it was at least a
little out of line to go on as Malcom X considering your topic. In any event, I
call it as I see it---a bigot is a bigot whether it's dispareging to Italians,
Americans, minority groups, martians, etc. I haven't perceived Noam as a bigot.

|4/5/06 05:32:23 PM|Malcolm x|Detroit||Mosque7.com||||10|Angelo, you have a
point regarding the name Malcom X. As a result I will give a little
background.Malcom X was a bigot. He hated white people and prayed for
their destruction. When he realized that the black muslims were a sham under
Elijah Muhammad and he was suspended from the group he went on a pilgrimage to
Mecca. While in Mecca he had a spiritual transformation. He no longer hated
white people or any people for that matter. Malcom X realized that good and evil
lies within the individual. As a result of his spiritual awakening he quit the
black muslims and started his own group. When he started his own group he
changed his name to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. When Mr Shabazz was murdered he
was no longer Malcom X in thought or in name.Regarding Noam, he has in
the past insulted Blacks and now he insults the Irish. You have no problem with
that. I will ask you again, will you only have a problem with Noam if he starts
telling dago jokes?|

whoever you are, Noam's comments to Steve were just a joke between him and
Steve.I believe Steve is an Irishman so don't you think he should be the
one who is offended if offense was intended? I don't think it was meant to be
offensive.We have gotten past the bickering that went on last year. Why
are you trying to get it started again?|
|4/6/06 12:35:40 AM|Malcom X|Detroit||mosque7.com||||10|Kent, If Noam wants to
exchange bigoted jokes with Steve or anyone else, fine. But let him do it in
private. This is not a members only site.Why are you jumping on me.
Noam's joke was not at all funny. It was plain to anyone reading it that the
point of the joke was bigotry and not humor. Why was the man introduced as an
Irishman? Maybe he should have been introduced as an American indian. Would that
have made the joke anymore funnier? Your part indian Kent, you tell me. Of
course not! Ihe purpose of the joke was to insult Irish people.Kent, you
want to jump on someone, jump on Noam. He is always the cause of these
incidents. Who was responsible for insulting the blackman on this site?
Noam!!!!!!!!!!|
|4/6/06 04:34:01 AM|Massimo|Roma||4||||10|Noam is definetely not a bigot. He is
just one who likes joking. And the famous "relentless niggling" was not an
offence at all.|
|4/6/06 09:51:30 AM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron||||10|Massimo: I would
think "infamous" is a better description than "famous" at this point, about
Noam's use of "niggling." Actually Mr. X, I'm not offended by Italian or
Catholic jokes. I'm not offended by the stereotypes of The Sopranos, Goodfellas
or The Godfather movies. I think I have a good radar for when someone is
hateful and when they're joking. I hope I'm not being naieve---but really, I've
told ethnic jokes myself and I truly don't think I'm a bigot. I will say,
usually, when I tell an ethnic joke, it's to the audience of that group. i.e.,
my uncle was Polish and I ribbed him with a few Polish jokes and he responded in
kind with jokes of his own. I do think it's a problem when someone is
relentless with ethnic jokes within their own little circle---that's when it
borders on hate sometimes. |
