You've never heard of Jackie Mason before?:blink:

[A.J.]

The 'Caddyshack 2' star referred to Obama as a "schwartza"

I think what's more offensive is being referred to as "The 'Caddyshack 2' star".

Mel Brooks must be racist too since he used "schwartza" in Blazing Saddles.

Why are the only options "racist" or "just tellin' it like it is" when he's clearly not either?

He's old, out of touch and irrelevant.

if you want more options
then start your own thread francis

"Shwatza" means black. Is it now racist to call a black man black? Because I just cant call a person an African-American. Thats just a completely retarded term.

He's like your old grandpa who refuses to change what he's been calling shelled Brazil Nuts for 60 years.

He has his audience, let them enjoy him. Don't go seeking out new outlets to be offended.

Uh, the story is actually literally about his audience.

[TripleSkeet]

I really love the fact hes not apologizing. I really hope he doesnt buckle.

[TheMojoPin]

Of course he's milking this. It's the most attention he's gotten in almost 20 years.

Well 9 times out of 10 I never follow links in threads. I just don't care enough.

Basically like most of the world towards Jackie Mason.

Very true. I don't hate the guy but he's one of those people who the next time I hear about him will be the day he dies and then I'll probably never think about him again. He just hasn't been a blip on my entertainment radar for like 2 decades.

Not that I was ever his target audience either, but he's pretty over.

Which is why him not apologizing or whatever isn't a bold or brave move...it's a guy who knows what he is. His Borscht Belt schtick has an established audience that is mostly not going to care about this.

Though I don't think he needs to apologize in the first place.

It sounds so much cooler when you tell someone you are eating "Ni##$% Toes"


My Great Grandmother use to call them that.

SEEYAYAYYAYAA

[Devo37]

ask him yourself. i used to constantly see him in midtown, when i worked a block away from the xm studio.

[DarkHippie]

Shavatza is not racist. It just means black. old jews say it. but like all yiddish, if said the right way it becomes a deadly insult

[smiler grogan]

I dated a girl once who was part of the tribe and she felt that it was an insulting term. By the by Mason should not apologize.

[led37zep]

Lets just move along.


This isn't real racism.


and by that I mean, I wasn't offended.

[beachbum]

I could care less.I don't think the guy is funny.He has never made me laugh,not once.I don't like any "commedien" who's whole schtick is based on being a jew,black,mexican,fat,etc.
I'm looking right at you Richard Lewis!You non funny mother fucker!We get it!You had a jewish mother!Go fuck yourself!

This whole jackie mason thing is really insane. This poor bastard has been in the industry for decades and now he's gettin caught up in some trendy, contemporary PC bullshit. He has had an amazingly succesful career, the twilight of which may be marred by loudmouths like the good ol reverend al


So my question:

Should old people (racists, bigots, etc.) be allowed to just live out the rest of their few days in the same way they always have? Kinda like having their racist views grandfathered in, as it were?

No he's not. It's a total non-story. Nothing is happening to him. If anything, he's grateful for getting more press than he's had in 20 years.

'Jackie Mason'
anagrams to
'A manic jokes.'

I thought living in America meant that anyone was allowed to live their lives having racist views if they wanted to. Even if they werent old. Isnt that what land of the free means? Protecting the right to have the most reprehensible views means that all other views above those are also protected.
