First of all, I want to apologize to all the Jewish members on this site if my comment "Jews Run The World" offended them, Im sorry. I honestly didnt mean for my comment to be taken seriously, and I am NOT ANTI-SEMETIC in the least, it was merely a joke. I dont hate anyone because of their religion or the color of their skin, its just stupid. My comment was uncalled for, thats understandable, but my comment was no way meant to offend anyone. Some members took my comment and ran with it, and said unneccsary things. How does my comment justify this blatantly racist response:

invite the other antisemites and serve them fried chicken, watermelon, and kool aid along with a gift certificate to the local bookstore so they can purchase Mein Kampf.

Yes Im black, but I actually hate watermelon and Kool Aid. :)..Ya got me with the fried chicken though. Anyway, Im sorry for the initial comment I made about Jews running the world, it wasnt mean to be offensive. Hope you guys can accept.

I respect you for posting this apology. Honestly, I was surprised at your initial comment and wish that I could have responded before it was locked. If it means anything to you, I didn't get that you were kidding. I also want to say that some of the racist responses to you were deplorable and disappointing. There are plenty of words with which to express your displeasure at a post without resorting to bigotry. Some would have you believe that it is a politically correct agenda to be against bigotry--in all it's forms. I say that's a cop out, and a way to put people down for believing in the most basic of human attributes: That we are all created equal. There is a difference in calling someone an a$$hole or jerk, rather than a racial, ethnic or religious term of disparagement.

It makes me angry because I will need to spend hours cleaning grease from my range.

Thats exactly why I prefer KFC. I enjoy the chicken and no mess :) Original recipe tastes more like home made than extra crispy.

DarkLady, how can you hate watermelon? Its awsome!!! tastes good, and you get to spit the seeds at people

It tastes like ****, too watery, those seeds are annoying. I never liked it. I guess Im a sorry excuse for an African American lol.

What are you, an idiot? ;) Buy seedless. BTW, the most watermelon-obsessed person I know is my father, an off the boat Ginzo like me. He eats watermelon every day whether it's Summer or Winter.

Bronzey... Thanks for the sentiment. You got a lot worse than you deserved IMO.

It's funny, when people say that, as much as it often has antisemitic tones, I take it as a compliment. For a 2% minority to be at the top of the curve in so many things, we're obviously doing something right.

It's unfortunate that the NFL made this mistake in the first place, and possibly even more unfortunate that they decided to make the change, as it just gives the dormant antisemites something to complain about.

I like fried chicken, too. KFC and Popeyes is too expensive, though. Remember shake and bake?

KFC tastes like **** ( atleast the ones I've been to in Queens).

I try to stay away from fried fatty foods. I cant remember the last timeI've had it.

Shake & bake? How old do you think i am lol. The only Shake & Bake I know of is Ricky Bobby's signature quote in Talladega Nights

The Cole Slaw is lethal, too. It sits around and gets warm all day and you know they don't chuck it, they keep it for the next day.

Ricky Bobby, LOL.

Eat at your own risk. In high school one summer ( dont laugh) I worked @ McDonalds. And the leftover breakfast sanwiches and burger patties they would leave em out all day and at the end of the day they would put them back in the fridge. When you order it the next day they would merely microwave the leftovers and serve them as fresh. I havent had a Big Mac or any food from McDonalds in years ( only the sweet tea a week ago).

P.S. I wont even start on those synthetic breakfast eggs they try to pass off as real.

Serious question, most of what I've seen in regards to this are comments about Jewish people being tenacious until they get what they want. Is that in and of itself antisemitic?

What a nice post this is. Your intial post did NOT merit that moronic response about the water melons. If I remember correctly he was taken behind the woodshed by several posters here. If anybody should apologize it's HIM not you. You're cool girl.

I respect you for posting this apology.
'All In The Family' wouldn't make it one inch out of the gate today. Go ahead and tell me it would. In fact, the Studio would be burned down and George Jefferson, Lionel, and Weezy would be hung in effigy on the way out. BIGGGGGH!

You probably don't want to hear about how filthy tea urns are.

As anything else, I'd say it's very dependent.

If you're going to say that a Jew with screw you over until he gets what he wants, then yes. If you're going to say that a Jew will fight hard until he gets what he wants, then obviously no.

One portrays it as a negative quality, the other as something admirable.

You are very right. Like you said The Jeffersons and All in the Family no way they would be on tv today. Also Sanford and Son and Good Times probably wouldn't be on either.
