There is no thruth in that at all.

Can't be assuming if I SAW whiteness zoom by.

He did mention that he didn't believe that Jews were a minority. And that they didn't have the same kind of persecution engraved into their every day life in American like he did as a Cuban-American or like people did if they were Black or even women.

I think they took more issue with how he called Jon Stewart a bigot and said that the CNN execs were holding him down because they were Jews and he was Cuban.

I've seen both sides....one that is real..and ones i've HAD to call bull-**** on

You should not Apologize. I am not sorry by the color of my skin. In fact I am quite fond of It.

No assuming if I saw whitey go by.

If you saw whitey go by where??

I totally understand, I call out the denial(that racism is a real issue needing to be addressed ACTIVELY through policy and practice) card quite regularly myself

not sure yet which one is played more often though,,,,( I tend to believe the denial card is,, but its hard to be objective on that one)

Now who is making an a$$ u mption?

I cannot help that you are not Proud of who you are.

What are you talking about?

I am completely comfortable with who and what I am.

I am also aware of the things white folks do that are wrong.

Makes me unproud of some white folks for sure.

But not myself because I don't do those things to others

Anyways back on topic...Sanchez did'nt slay the Jews he just beat around the bush.

I'm white, I got pulled over supposedly becasue my front windows were tinted. They were rolled down when I got pulled over. The cop was white.

I got pulled over by a Hispanic Sheriff who wanted to know when the last time I bought Meth was. Fuqer also searched my car and found NOTHING but a tin of Altoids which to my last account are still legal. That was straight out a violation of my rights and illegal on top of that.

Some people need to pull head out of back side. Who gives a damn about profiling. Being in the wrong neighborhood and being white the cops ASSUME you are a Meth addict here in good ole LA.

I never thought Sanchez was a good news anchor. I could swear that his whole news cast was full ADD monkeys.

I give a damn about profiling, since when is anyone in the 'wrong' neighborhood in america strictly because of race


some choose indifference but others choose to give a damn,, I dont begrudge people either choice

That's right. It was just surprising that Sanchez who was anchoring a supposedly bonafide high profile news show on the world's premier news channel, CNN, was apparently so threatened by a comedy show host who poked fun at him. That he would take his personal grudge public and then also try to deny antisemitic persecution (which is arguably the most well documented history of persistent discrimination of all time even if it is no worse than any other discrimination)and this was just plain silly and absurd.



Sanchez went further to highlight his embarrassing inferiority complex by repeating old tired jewish conspiracy theories (jews controlling the media, jews controlling money) which are well known to be false, deny their minority status even though they are a much smaller minority than hispanics or african americans. Just not too bright for a major news anchor.

For example,

The estimated Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2009, was 48.4 million. This makes people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or race minority. Hispanics constituted ~16 percent of the nation's total population. In addition, there are approximately 4 million residents of Puerto Rico, a Carribbean U.S. territory.

Only Mexico (111 million) has a larger Hispanic population than the United States (48.4 million).

As of July 1, 2008, the estimated population of black residents in the United States, was 41.1 million including those of more than one race. They made up ~13.5 percent of the total U.S. population.

Jews are defined by religion of course not by race. There are Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian and White Jews. But the latest estimate according to the Wiki of those who identify themselves as being religiously Jewish or from a Jewish background in the U.S. is estimated at 6,489,000 or ~2.2% of the population. This is about 7 times rarer than African Americans and about 8 times rarer than Hispanic Americans.

In WWII, solely because of religious persecution, about half of the entire world population of Jews were killed. Imagine if half of the world population of Blacks were killed because of discrimination. Imagine if half of the world population of Hispanics were killed due to anti-Hispanic bias. This puts the magnitude of Rick Sanchez' gaffe in perspective.

He was undoubtedly fired for the same reason that former White House correspondent Helen Thomas was forced to resign. Their StArTlInGlY inaccurate and offensive comments were an outrageous embarrassment to themselves and their news organizations!





I wonder what is coming up on the Daily Show and the Colbert report on this...

Its all in good sanity, right??

here is the difference as I understand it,, I believe in context Sanchez was referring to AMERICA

now of course, anyone can search the WORLD history to find something awful that happened to 'their' people , but that isnt really relative to a discussion about AMerica or someones experience or history in AMERICA

in AMERICA , there isnt a history of jewish persecution which nears that of other minorities, and in fact the UN actually GAVE land to the jewish people, an intervention not taken up for the cause of other minorities,

in AMERICA , jewish people(unless they are orthodox in their outward appearance) are not a VISIBLE minority

that is to say, people who choose to lay with animals are probably a minority too but they arent persecuted because they are able to 'blend' in quite well with the normal folks

similarly, people who have chosen the jewish faith are not a VISIBLE minority, and when you consider the FINANCIAL POWER of jewish community in america it dwarfs any other minority as well, with AMerica's jewish ties lending to nearly three billion per year in aid to ISrael,,,I hardly call that persecution,,,


I also dont know when or how anyone PROVED that the media isnt predominately jewish owned


all this is irrelevant of course to why he was fired, people give misinformation or flat innacurate information daily in the media and dont loose their jobs,, his job was taken because of the reference to potential racial discrimination by HIS employer

your racist against white people...

only white folks do wrong, right?
