The single (unintentionally) funniest bit of racist accusations I’ve seen in the last decade was a political-style cartoon that asserted, essentially, that Jews are responsible for gangster rap. Which promotes race-mixing to whites, while the Jews keep their strong, cunning and conniving bloodline pure.

(said cartoon actually had the tagline of “Should you really let your kids spend so much time with The Electric Jew”, referring to television)

That’s the one. It’s the stars-of-david in the eyes that really push it right over the top. That and the rap artist on Finklestein Label.

I would, however, love to hear a Jonathan Coulton cover of “it’s all pink inside” (to go with “baby got back”).

P.S. Lest anyone wonder about the provenance, my (Jewish) wife collects anti-Jewish propaganda for the humor value.

I think genes can help, but a great deal amount of it is learned. I know this because, like I said, I have Scary Negro Syndrome (SNS), but I cannot do the neck swivel thing. Probably because the little bit of Scots-Irish in my genetic heritage has watered down my pure African stock. It reveals itself whenever I hesitate clapping on the 2 and 4, which is totally unnatural for a black person. That damn miscegnation. Messed everything up.

Now I’m about to eat some fried chicken. I’m in the mood to get my gun and shoot all the whiteys I see.

So if they hire enough of them to work at the IRS, I can claim my cats as dependents and they’ll never figure it out? Cool!

See, there is some real benefit in the finer types of racist nonsense. Not the meeley mouthed “Well, let’s investigate Jews in the government just in case they are secretly plotting to betray us all, I’m Just Asking Questions here becuase you have to be concerned about Dual Loyalty” stuff, I mean the full out, balls to the wall, racist-and-proud-of-it stuff.

You read the news, and it’s news about economic hardship in America, Europe, Africa, Asia… it’s about AIDS or cancer or fucking bird flu, it’s about New York and L.A. and Texas cutting teaching jobs and not being able to properly educate their children, it’s about transfat killing us and melting ice caps and burning rain forests.

You read the racists ramblings, and you find out that Jews are the smartest, shrewdest, most ruthless and powerful people on the entire planet and you have a real chance to get in on the ground floor of plot to control virtually any nation or industry you could want. And that’s some good news.

Oh yeah? If you guys are so smart and shrewd, how come we’re the ones race-mixing with Selita Ebanks and Zoe Saldana while you guys are keeping your strong, cunning and conniving bloodline pure?

Oh, we race mix and such, but since the children aren’t pureblood Jews we sacrifice them and use their blood to make matzah. We get the benefits of hot, taboo sex and the magical powers that come with consuming gentile blood.

Charles Murray is also a racist.

Almost everyone I know who has negative impressions about government can point to politicians (almost all of whom are white) as the source of their loss of confidence in government.

I only brought up the entire affirmative action and Asians/Jews because I wanted to point out that noone seems to have problems with trying to cap the number of Asians and Jews in really good schools, they only seem to be focused on keeping blacks and hispanics out.

I’d never heard the phrase “electric Jew” before. Now when someone looks down their nose at me because I have a 64" TV and claim they don’t watch TV, I can ask them if they don’t watch TV because they are racists.

I have a friend who believes that the its the Rabbinical culture of the Jews and the Confucian culture of East Asians that have created the sort of social values that lead to the concentration of academic achievement in those two cultures.

See, now you’re dissing black culture.

_Good Times_ had J.J. Evans (Jimmie Walker) whose catch-phrase was “Dyn-o-mite”.

Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) was on _A Different World_.

Dwayne Nelson (Haywood Nelson) was on _What’s Happening!!_ and his catch-phrase was “hey HEY hey hey”.

Fat Albert’s catchphrase was “hey HEY hey”.

And the guy who drank grape soda was Radar O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff) on _MASH_.

See, now you’re dissing knowledge. There were only three “heys” in Nelson’s catch phrase.

I got my information from an unimpeachable source. Well, okay, I got it from [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Happening!!).

But honestly, I tried watching an actual episode of _What’s Happening!!_ and my brain started weeping.

Ah, so Phase 1 of Jew Vision is working.
