After being hit on 2 fronts, I was left slumped against the bathroom wall.
dho'gaza hit me full in the face with the "Davetard" offensive : I have Googled "Marty Luther antisem" and got 653k hits - I must be right _I was left stunned.
Before I had a chance to read anything, Arden stuck me with the "larry farfarfarfman "Wiki pedia "" defence.
I thought I'll hit back and googled "arden racist" and got 54K hit. What did it mean? absolutely nothing. Ardens a nice guy.
Before I slide into the urinal at the bathroom wall I would like to clear up a couple of points based on Mr O 'Gaza s statement:
Even although you did not post a link to the relevent thread at UD as I hoped, I evetnually found it. Bizzare!
(The post-not you)
I kind of "half see" where you are coming from, but I still think your 2nd paragraph is a sweeping generalization of Europe pre- Darwin.
European Racism against blacks: Pre 1900, the vast majority of europeans had never seen a black person and so had no feelings towards them at all. 1800s, the English were racist against the French, the poles were racist against the russians, the germans and italians didnt exist and the french wre racist against everybody else. Relations between N; Africa, the Middle East and "Western" Europe had been going on for centuries.
No one had time for racism against the africans.
And please do not be dumb enough to bring up the african slave trade as an example of racism.
Post AD 0, all christians were anti- semetic. After all they nailed jesus to a cross. The Jews were the fall guys all through Europea
After reading the excellent Wiki post about ML, I see that he was for a lot of his life very sympathetic towards the jews. Something in his later years semms to have turned him bitter.
I take issue with you on various points -- sort of.
