Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

By a random twist of pop corn fate, a truly disgusting hate crime was somehow connected with a Mordechai Ben David concert.

As it happens, Mordechai Ben David, of Yidden, Daddy Dear, Lichtigher Shabbos & other "controversies", turns out to be a racist.

Whether or not that makes him an idiot is up for discussion.

In other news, Mordechai Ben David is still the king.

South Africa is a beautiful place to visit, though its old flag is a symbol of its racist past. Oh, and the current Prime Minister can't count. That's not related to this thread, but it is something you should definitely know.

You can never speak about an issue that is connected to your community if there is a larger, more serious issue in another community happening.

Why is the take back Lakewood thread in existence when people are dying in Chicago!? The nerve of people to worry about duplexes when people are being shot.

No one is accusing MBD of kidnapping and torturing black people.

He should apologize and everyone should move on to discuss the horrific, racist, sub human, cruel, thing that occurred in Chicago (would I be considered racist if I mentioned it is BHO'S and Rahm Emanuel's home town?) and the sickening video of it.
What do you want to discuss? AFAIK everyone agrees on this.

I would expand on that to offer the following perspective here: A performer becomes successful, not only because of his singing talent, but because of his ability to connect to the crowd. I think that MBD is not a racist in heart. He might despise BHO, like many do, for one reason or another. Using the term Kushi in front of an Israeli crowd of concert goers was his way to attempt to connect with that crowd.
I think I understand now. You mean like a Rev Wright sermon. He was just connecting with the congregation.

I agree but some feel we should be discussing that instead of MBD. So I made the offer but now no one wants to discuss it. So
I have to ask if that was just a smokescreen.

People are petrified to touch that story for fear of being called the R word themselves. Jews OTOH are an easy target. :P

I think I've posted this on this forum before, it made a big impact on me when I read it a decade ago, and I think it is a very pertinent exercise in these discussions:

http://bogieworks.blogs.com/treppenwitz/2006/04/mirrors.html

Whenever you want to defend are or attack, check your prejudices, put the shoe on the other foot. Think of Beyonce using such invective about Netanyahu, even just once off.

Why are we discussing one comment from MBD, when we have disgusting forms of racism in chicago?

Good one. Brain is busy with the beyonce and MBD comparison/connection. It works, but interesting choice of celebrity comparisons.
