I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised how many ignorant Jew-haters are littering Yahoo News with nasty, scurrilous comments about Jack Abramoff working in a Jewish-owned, Baltimore pizza parlor. Abramoff’s first job for menial wages working for a Jewish boss now that he’s left the half-way house and prison undoubtedly proves there is a global Jewish conspiracy, that Jews surely control the Federal Reserve and the Media, and that American Jews are “Big Mafiosi,” as one commenter remarked.
Suppose a Black man hires a formerly incarcerated Black man to serve chicken and ribs in one of the hundreds of BBQ/Chicken hut restaurants that populate the Black neighborhood in Baltimore in the shadow of Pimlico Racetrack; or if an Asian person in any one of the hundreds of Chinatowns across America were to hire an Asian with a criminal record to work as a dishwasher or host in their Chinese restaurant. Or, if a toothelss, white trash Billy Bob hired another white trash lowlife Gomer to drive a long haul 18-wheeler, or to fry eggs as a short order cook or wash dishes in a white bread diner. Not a head would turn; no one would say a nasty word. Likely all anyone would think or say, if anything at all, is something akin to: “oh, that’s nice. The employer made room for someone who has paid their dues.”
But we Jews can’t ever pay enough dues for being an industrious, outspoken, educated, freedom and life-loving people who like in every other culture, ethnic group, or religion have our share – no more; no less – of people who make mistakes, break the law, go to prison, pay their dues and return to society.
Abramoff and his family already have enough challenges cut out for them dealing with the infamy of his felony and the pretty much life long collateral consequences of his conviction.
It behooves Yahoo to take down the anti-semitic posts. It reflects poorly upon Yahoo and only invites more of the same.
