Gwyneth Paltrow Crushin on JAY-Z ????

I just saw on E! News that Hova asked Paltrow to sing with him on stage at some show and Gwyneth said "I am so in love with that man. That man is just heaven". They also showed a picture of them together.


Hmm...Interesting...

 

Nah, Jay is NOT crushing on Gweny. He's friends w/ Chris Martin and the reason he asked her to sing for that song is because Chris co-produced the final track on the Jay's latest album "Kingdom Come".

From that point on, they've become closer as friends and Jay decided that it would be a good idea if Chris's wife Gweny, sings "Song Cry" at his concert in London because he was the first Hip Hop artist to perform at that venue. It was a big show for Hip Hop and he wanted to add some Euro-flare to the show.

C'mon now. Who do you really think Jay would pick?



.....my point exactly; don't get it twisted. :?

 

I wasnt trying to imply they are sexually involved. By "crushing" I meant she has a crush on him.

 

A nice Jewish girl like that wouldn't have come into social contact withe likes of JayZ if it wasn't for his association with Beyonce.

 

:shock: :?: :!:

 

You may not like it but he's right. I've dated a Jewish girl and believe me, it was almost like a straight man going to a gay orgy. Like everyone else, Jews are cool with me and i don't hate on them but they've got issues with skin too. I have a biracial friend who's Jewish (his mom is Hungarian Jewish and his pops is African-American) and dude tells me about his experiences as a kid going to the synagogue. He told me that many Jews do not recognize black and non-white Jews to be "real" Jews. He said one time he went to a Jewish event, he was told that this event was for Jews only (despite the fact, according to him, that he was visibly dressed for the occasion). He then said he is Jewish and they began treating him like shit that he eventually flipped it and left crying.

Yo, Jews can be really mean too. They will not say "nigger" or anything. They say "Schvartze" which is a Yiddish/German word for black, but is highly offensive -it was my Jewish ex that told me all about it-. The racism of Jews is reall unconventional. They're the types that wil help a black person whilst insulting him at the same time. Now again, i don't mind Jews at all. Many civil rights activists, contemporarily and retrospectively, were Jewish and risked their lives for many causes of freedom so i respect them..... And their work ethic but they can be really bd too.

 

:idea: Yeah but I think in this case it's more like who HE is and NOT just because of Be. Plus I don't see Jews as anymore racist than SOME whites in general.

 

That's what they were calling David Dinkins when he was mayor.

 

It's "Schwarze" (blacks) from "schwarz" (black) and it just means that: Black.
It's not an offensive term at all.
(But be alerted if you hear terms like "Bimbo", "Neger", or "Kanake" - they are highly offensive)

To generalize Jews as being racists is quite ridiculous after what they have done for blacks not only in the American civil rights era but also for black Jews with the Operation Solomon and the Operation Moses.

 

:shock: :?: :!:

 

The rescue of Ethiopian Jews. See here

 

:shock:

 

No one is remotely generalizing that Jews are racist but many of them are. However, some of the lessons learned from their Aryan counterparts do exist and you are clearly in NO position to summarize our experiences and never will be! As Jews continue to assimilate some do take their cues from their diabolical Aryan tormentors. Judging from your treatment of Turks it's natural to expect they'll be the next group to imitate your barbarism. When Jews use the word "Schwarze" it's meant to slur blacks as you are well aware. Yes indeed...many of them learned their lessons too well as you can personally attest. If all you can do is rear back on your haunches trying to pretend you actually know what you're talking about from reading an article...then you're sorely mistaken. But then again that's hallmark of your indoctrination.

Christian Science Monitor, May 22, 2002
"The gap between black and white Israelis seems, with some exceptions, to be growing. For Ethiopians, it is visible in impoverished neighborhoods, soaring unemployment, and the highest high-school dropout rate of any Jewish group in Israel. Twenty-six percent of Ethiopian youths have either dropped out or do not show up for classes most of the time, raising concerns that the community's current difficulties may become chronic. Drug use, including glue-sniffing, is on the rise, and criminal activity, hardly known among Ethiopians before they came to Israel, has been growing ... to Asher Elias, a staff member at the Israel Association for Ethiopian Jews (IAEJ). 'Ethiopians have lots of motivation to become Israelis, but they are not accepted,' he says. 'In jobs, in education, people feel they are discriminated against because they are black. I'm not saying it is right or wrong, but it is what we are feeling, and that is enough.' A low point in the relationship between Ethiopian Jews and Israelis came in 1996, when it was revealed that Israeli hospitals had thrown out all blood donated by Ethiopians. "These were donations to help other Israelis," Mr. Elias says. "[Ethiopians] said to each other: 'What do they think? That we are not humans?' Habad, one of Israel's stronger orthodox religious groups, doesn't recognize Ethiopians as Jews or allow their children into its kindergartens."

Yet moreover disturbing was to-witness-the-way-in-which the Falasha-Jews of Ethiopia were treated in Israel. Contrary to the multicultural fanfare spin in how the humanitarian-Israeli-junta was able to get them out of Ethiopia into-national Jewish-home. Then these very same Ethiopian-Jews were treated afterwards like-a-second-class-citizens (if not for Palestinian conflict's deflection, a civil war between ashke-Nazim and Sephardic Jews was imminent).

http://www.thecheers.org/article_175_Racism-in-Germany.html

Any person who believes that the German society is not racist should look at the way many parents react when their daughter or son has a black partner. Some will even refuse to regard their child as a member of their family any longer. Moreover, Germans with black partners walking along the street will merely be stared at if they are lucky, or if not, they will be called abusive names. Watching such scenarios will surely make anyone at least doubt the fact that Germans are friendly towards foreigners.

As usual in such matters, one should be careful not to generalise. There are German people who are extremely open-minded. An old lady once invited me and an African friend to sit with her in the tram and spoke to us in a very friendly way throughout our journey. However, I have found such people and situations to be the exception. Certainly there is some degree of racism in any country, but I still have to say that Germany gives a particularly bad picture, especially compared to other European countries. During my holidays in Sweden, Ireland or England I have walked along the street with African, Japanese and Indian people, and I have never been stared at as I have in Germany.

To me, it is apparent that there is far too much racism in my country and that it must be fought with much more determination than politicians are showing at this stage.

Consider expending some effort cleaning up your own backyard before attempting to pontificate to others. As it is...you have the worst track record on the planet! So who are you kidding?

RACISM AGAINST BLACKS IS A GROWING TREND IN EUROPE
Germany

The situation in Germany is not very different. In April 2006, a 37-year-old Ethiopian engineer was beaten into a coma in Potsdam. News reports described his injuries from the beating as "unusual in their severity."

Such attacks are increasingly common in Germany. In recent weeks police have made arrests in connection with such brutal attacks on Africans and other dark-skinned people in Berlin, Wisner and other cities. Africans know certain areas in the eastern part of Berlin, such as Marzahn and Hellersdorf, as "no-go" areas where they are certain to be attacked or killed.

Police statistics show a 19 percent increase in racist violence by people described as members of the far right. Last year, there were 958 such acts recorded, up from 776 in 2004.

The bad situation is compounded by the fact that Germans, in general, seem unwilling to accept the depth of racism in their society. As a result, those who should are not very eager to speak very frankly about it. The situation is so bad that many Africans who spoke to the press about racism in Germany refused to give their full names for fear of reprisals.

These fears were highlighted last month when Uwe-Karsten Heye, a former government minister, lamented the fact -- in a radio interview -- that people with dark skin "might not make it out alive" if they dared set foot in certain towns, especially in the Bradenburg region around Berlin. About the same time an African-German organization offered to publish a list of "no-go" areas for the benefit of World Cup visitors. Public response, both to Heye's statement and the African group's offer, was highly critical and disfavorable, to say the least.

This sounds like you:
The tendency to downplay racism directed at blacks and other people of color while highlighting threats represented by neo-Nazism and right-wing violence is not only a German phenomenon. All across Europe, the emphasis seems always to be on the right-wing as a fringe non-representative element, and on that basis officials make their explanations of incidents of racism in society. People of color all over Europe are saying, as strongly as they can, that such responses are not adequate.

 

This shows they're no different from other racists. In fact, they even helped arm the South African Apartheid regime:

Israelis aren't afraid to say there's apartheid in Israel and Palestine

This Road is for Jews Only
Yes, There is Apartheid in Israel
By SHULAMIT ALONI/Counterpunch

Jewish self-righteousness is taken for granted among ourselves to such an extent that we fail to see what's right in front of our eyes. It's simply inconceivable that the ultimate victims, the Jews, can carry out evil deeds. Nevertheless, the state of Israel practises its own, quite violent, form of Apartheid with the native Palestinian population.

The US Jewish Establishment's onslaught on former President Jimmy Carter is based on him daring to tell the truth which is known to all: through its army, the government of Israel practises a brutal form of Apartheid in the territory it occupies. Its army has turned every Palestinian village and town into a fenced-in, or blocked-in, detention camp. All this is done in order to keep an eye on the population's movements and to make its life difficult. Israel even imposes a total curfew whenever the settlers, who have illegally usurped the Palestinians' land, celebrate their holidays or conduct their parades.

If that were not enough, the generals commanding the region frequently issue further orders, regulations, instructions and rules (let us not forget: they are the lords of the land). By now they have requisitioned further lands for the purpose of constructing "Jewish only" roads. Wonderful roads, wide roads, well-paved roads, brightly lit at night--all that on stolen land. When a Palestinian drives on such a road, his vehicle is confiscated and he is sent on his way.

On one occasion I witnessed such an encounter between a driver and a soldier who was taking down the details before confiscating the vehicle and sending its owner away. "Why?" I asked the soldier. "It's an order--this is a Jews-only road", he replied. I inquired as to where was the sign indicating this fact and instructing [other] drivers not to use it. His answer was nothing short of amazing. "It is his responsibility to know it, and besides, what do you want us to do, put up a sign here and let some antisemitic reporter or journalist take a photo so he that can show the world that Apartheid exists here?"

Indeed Apartheid does exist here. And our army is not "the most moral army in the world" as we are told by its commanders. Sufficient to mention that every town and every village has turned into a detention centre and that every entry and every exit has been closed, cutting it off from arterial traffic. If it were not enough that Palestinians are not allowed to travel on the roads paved 'for Jews only', on their land, the current GOC found it necessary to land an additional blow on the natives in their own land with an "ingenious proposal".

Humanitarian activists cannot transport Palestinians either.

Major-General Naveh, renowned for his superior patriotism, has issued a new order. Coming into affect on 19 January, it prohibits the conveyance of Palestinians without a permit. The order determines that Israelis are not allowed to transport Palestinians in an Israeli vehicle (one registered in Israel regardless of what kind of numberplate it carries) unless they have received explicit permission to do so. The permit relates to both the driver and the Palestinian passenger. Of course none of this applies to those whose labour serves the settlers. They and their employers will naturally receive the required permits so they can continue to serve the lords of the land, the settlers.

Did man of peace President Carter truly err in concluding that Israel is creating Apartheid? Did he exaggerate? Don't the US Jewish community leaders recognise the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination of 7 March 1966, to which Israel is a signatory? Are the US Jews who launched the loud and abusive campaign against Carter for supposedly maligning Israel's character and its democratic and humanist nature unfamiliar with the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid of 30 November 1973? Apartheid is defined therein as an international crime that among other things includes using different legal instruments to rule over different racial groups, thus depriving people of their human rights. Isn't freedom of travel one of these rights?

In the past, the US Jewish community leaders were quite familiar with the meaning of those conventions. For some reason, however, they are convinced that Israel is allowed to contravene them. It's OK to kill civilians, women and children, old people and parents with their children, deliberately or otherwise without accepting any responsibility. It's permissible to rob people of their lands, destroy their crops, and cage them up like animals in the zoo. From now on, Israelis and International humanitarian organisations' volunteers are prohibited from assisting a woman in labour by taking her to the hospital. [Israeli human rights group] Yesh Din volunteers cannot take a robbed and beaten-up Palestinian to the police station to lodge a complaint. (Police stations are located at the heart of the settlements.) Is there anyone who believes that this is not Apartheid?

Jimmy Carter does not need me to defend his reputation that has been sullied by Israelophile community officials. The trouble is that their love of Israel distorts their judgment and blinds them from seeing what's in front of them. Israel is an occupying power that for 40 years has been oppressing an indigenous people, which is entitled to a sovereign and independent existence while living in peace with us. We should remember that we too used very violent terror against foreign rule because we wanted our own state. And the list of victims of terror is quite long and extensive.

We do limit ourselves to denying the [Palestinian] people human rights. We not only rob of them of their freedom, land and water. We apply collective punishment to millions of people and even, in revenge-driven frenzy, destroy the electricity supply for one and half million civilians. Let them "sit in the darkness" and "starve".

Employees cannot be paid their wages because Israel is holding 500 million shekels that belong to the Palestinians. And after all that we remain "pure as the driven snow". There are no moral blemishes on our actions. There is no racial separation. There is no Apartheid. It's an invention of the enemies of Israel. Hooray for our brothers and sisters in the US! Your devotion is very much appreciated. You have truly removed a nasty stain from us. Now there can be an extra spring in our step as we confidently abuse the Palestinian population, using the "most moral army in the world".

(Shulamit Aloni is the former Education Minister of Israel. She has been awarded both the Israel Prize and the Emil Grunzweig Human Rights Award by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.)

 

To say Jews aren't racist is equally ridiculous

Name ONE Jewish Abolitionist

JUST NAME ONE

Many Jews were also confederate slave-owners like Judah P. Benjamin

Jews owned many large Plantations in the south..and they did NOTHING to end slavery..

BTW

Schwartze is a slur and you know it

Sometimes I wonder about you

 

Individual Jews helped Blacks a lot in the US as well as South Africa and as for the Leo Frank thing it was very rare since the Southern Jews chose to forget it. The lynching of Blacks continued.

 

Let's not regress from the topic too much. If we're gonna get into a big discussion about Jews and what-have-you, maybe we should start a thread about it.

 

SCVG do you like King Constintine, the guy who was overthrown fourty years ago this year?

 

I don't know who that is. If he has anything to do w/ my avatar beneath my screename, I don't know much about that either other than it looks appealing to me.

 

I thought you are Greek or part Greek. The Royals of Greece had been in exile for fourty years.
