A facetious answer. But seriously: what do you think he meant?

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier -

Probably by demonstrating that they were more morally upstanding than the Jews. Nothing would irk them more.Originally posted by Zevico View Post“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

First, I take it you mean that he wanted to "demonstrate" that he was more "morally upstanding" than Jews.Originally posted by DaShi View Post
Second, how on earth do you get that from
[q] "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house".[57]"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well.

Yeah, to practice what they preach. It's pretty clear.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I agree. I wish Zevico would stop it with the racism.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

An article about George Zimmerman. His great-grandfather was Black.

Good point. Shouldn't George Zimmerman be called a White Hispanic Black? Isn't Barack Obama of White Black African lineage? What is the point of all of these racial distinctions? The only scientifically verified racial distinctions are tendencies and predispositions towards given diseases. E.g. skin cancer rates are lower for people with darker skin, apparently. Ethnic lineage is not a predictor of social, political or cultural identity or of cognitive ability or behaviour.Originally posted by Ming View Post
The reason it matters is that the US media, and particularly MSNBC, mentioned Zimmerman's racial identity in a way that suited the narrative of a race war against blacks. Hell, MSNBC refashioned the entire story to construct the fantasy of the Zimmerman case as a race war against blacks. That's why it matters: because the MSNBC is so ideologically confused and prejudiced that its reportage crossed the line into outright dishonesty and sparked a series of "reprisals" by people willing to self-identify as "blacks" and fight back to get racial justice "for Travyon."Who is surprised that a channel that hired Al Sharpton, career race baiter, then hired staff members who constructed a race-war narrative out of whole cloth from this case?
It's not surprising, just plain disappointing, that MSNBC is aligned with the far left of the Democratic party.Last edited by Zevico; May 11, 2012, 09:18."You say that it is your custom to burn widows.
