I’ve never understood just exactly what that is. It seems to me to be a ‘made-up’ word that has no meaning outside of its epithetical use to insult someone and if left to stand on its own it is meaningless...............................
Not mentioned in the article but this was filed in federal not state court.
I have no idea as to the origin of the word. I just know it’s meant in negative fashion. I don’t even know if Jews care about it or not.
Thought to be slang based on the fact that many 19th century German and Russian (sorry, Polish and Ukranian) Jews had names ending in -ki or -ky. In England Ike, slang for Isaac.
See 25. It’s an American term. I doubt many people care other than it informs you you’re dealing with a Jewhater.
So, in Berry's estimation...the science is settled?
Oh, they care. My wife is Jewish and I'd still have my head if I called her "the 'c' word".
The word we're discussing? Divorce...at the least.
I remember in the movie “Porky’s”, a character kept calling the Jewish kid a ‘kite’, and eventually the Jewish kid had to correct his mispronunciation of the word...................
“I have a Jewish friend in a very high position in life and he thinks it’s only the “extreme” far left of the Democrat Party that is antisemitic. I told him brother the extreme far left is the majority of the Democrat Party today and their antisemitism and hate for Israel is widespread within their ranks!”
—————-
I am Jewish and I have a first cousin who is an extremely left-wing radical. However, last year he took his son to Israel for his bar mitzvah, and came back somewhat changed, according to other family members (because I haven’t spoken to him for years). Then came the October 7 massacre in Israel. Now he is finally opening his eyes to what the far Left really is. He had thought that they were his friends and allies, when they have turned out to be deeply anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic. The simple fact is that Jews and Israel have been officially thrown under the bus by the far Left.
All that being said, one family member set up a WhatsApp sometime in October for the purpose of discussing the October 7 massacre (yeah, a therapy session, how thrilling), and I made a point of saying that I had known since I was a teenager (I am now over 60) that the Left despised the Jews, and only used them when it could obtain some political gain from doing so (just like any other racial, ethnic or religious group), that the far Left was only interested in obtaining, maintaining and growing its power over everybody else. I said that while certain individuals with Leftist views might be good friends, that the group of Leftists as a whole never was, isn’t, and never will be a friend of the Jews. I received a little bit of pushback, but not very much, particularly when I mentioned that one of my great grandfathers (on the other side of the family from these cousins) had been murdered by the NKVD in 1937, and that I had studied both the Left and the Nazis (who murdered about 70 members of our family) for well over 40 years and found that there was little difference between the 2 groups except their uniforms and the words they use - their goals and methods bear a striking resemblance to each other.
I sincerely hope that the October 7 massacre and incidents like the one described in this thread serve to wake up a lot of Jews on the Left. I don’t expect any of them to ever vote for Donald Trump this November, but if they simply stay home or vote for a third-party candidate, rather than voting in lockstep for the Democrat like they normally do, that will be a huge victory. Note that I am not holding my breath, but I remain hopeful that there will be some noticeable swing in the Jewish vote toward sanity.
Gotcha. Being a white guy, there’s no name that bothers me.
I would have responded:
“Trump’s administration did inspire hate speech and violence.....................FROM YOUR SIDE!...................
“I have no idea as to the origin of the word. I just know it’s meant in negative fashion. I don’t even know if Jews care about it or not.”
——————-
Just so you know, the “K” word for Jews is roughly equivalent in effect to the “N” word for Blacks. The only Jews who don’t care about it aren’t really that concerned or knowledgeable about their ethnic or religious heritage.
Words don’t bother me. It seems a weakness to give power to other’s words.
I hope she gets a nice, fat check.
This!
“I will not privilege you or any other white person’s comfort over the safety of people of color and Black people, and I certainly won’t privilege your comfort over equitable patient outcomes.”
This is jibberish.
This is what passes for intelligence in today’s liberal world..................
Excellent point.
