Should CNBC anchor Joe Kernen be fired for Racist comments on Indians

Taking an emotional loaded word and redefining it in order to try to turn the emotional connected to that word to your benefits is a cheap trick and in the end devalue the very terms you are trying to make use of.

i'm describing its usage, not prescribing it.

It's much the same as when you bandy about the word "anti-Semite" to refer to me because of my criticism of the state of Israel and the Zionists.

Sorry but the tiny minority of people like you that used such terms incorrectly for their own reasons are not enough to change those meanings.

The Anti-Semite label is indeed the correct label when apply to you and your positions concerning the nation state of Israel and the Jewish people as a whole.

The Anti-Semite label

What have I said about the Jewish people as a whole?

Quote:

The Anti-Semite label

is as fatuous an epithet as the anti-American label. It's one of the first lunacies dragged out when the user can't address or face the facts.

Well, anti-Semite refers to Jews. . . .

Point of Information, if I may ?
I was under the vague impression
that "anti-semite" refers to 2 different groups;
Jews and some different group. ( I m trying to remember; was it the Arabs? or the Moslems? something else ? )

Who said Jesus didn't have a sense of humor. Specifically, the descendants of those French, whose ancestors screamed "Hang Dreyfuss," might really be the recipients of a divine sense of humor.

I don't think that some screamed "Hang Dreyfuss" (or «Il mérite la pendaison»)., since they only used the guillotine in France. But since he was accused under 'article 76 du code pénal militaire' ... he got the highest possible punishment: déportation perpétuelle dans une enceinte.fortifiée.

The guillotine was used during the French Revolution.

Yes. He should be working on Fox news, he's way to biased,
basically a tea party right winger.

The Tea Party started it;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party

Even with the Townshend duty in effect, the Tea Act would allow the East India Company to sell tea more cheaply than before, undercutting the prices offered by smugglers, but also undercutting colonial tea importers, who paid the tax and received no refund. In 1772, legally imported Bohea, the most common variety of tea, sold for about 3 shillings (3s) per pound.[34] After the Tea Act, colonial consignees would be able to sell it for 2 shillings per pound (2s), just under the smugglers' price of 2 shillings and 1 penny (2s 1d).[35]

contended that the colonists had to oppose British tyranny dramatically—even with violence. He and members of the “Loyal Nine,” a secret group of Boston radicals, welded together a corps of husky South Boston “bully boys” to perform some of the more unsavory revolutionary tasks, including intimidating tax collectors and threatening British officials. Mob violence had always plagued Boston, but now the rioters attained a political role, which brought with it a certain revolutionary legitimacy.

The Sons of Liberty were under the direct command of Adams, who called the Mob out whenever he determined that a British action demanded a protest. Early on, he learned a trick of modern political protestors by making the riots appear spontaneous. Of course, Adams controlled them with precision, and aimed actions only at Royal officials, politicians, or tax collectors. The Mob burned Royalists in effigy from the “Liberty Tree,” stoned their houses, and tarred and feathered customs collectors. When Tory John Robinson was married, the Sons of Liberty surrounded his home on the honeymoon night, broke out all the windows, and shouted obscenities at the newlyweds until dawn.
But not all of the Mob’s activities were so prankish. Following passage of the Stamp Act (1765) the Sons of Liberty completely demolished Stamp Commissioner Oliver’s home and drank the entire contents of his wine cellar. He resigned his post the next day. Then the Mob proceeded in a drunken rage to Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson’s home, where an observer described the scene:

With respects to the Lieut. Governor’s House, where they ended their vile [transactions]…they had rais’d a greater Number and were intoxicated with Liquor, broke trio Windows, threw all his furniture out of kilo House, stamp’d upon the Chairs, Mahogany Tables, very handsome Large gilt-framed Pictures, the Pieces of which lay in Piles in the Street, open’d his Beds and let all the Feathers out, took ten thousand pounds in Cash, took all his Cloathes, Linnen, Plate, and everything he had, cut the Balcony off the Top of his House, pulled down all the Fruit Trees in his Garden, and did him in all 25,000 pounds damage.

Adams and the Sons of Liberty continued their activities until Independence was declared in 1776. The British government simply could not cope with the hundreds of rabble-rousers who took part in these riots, and after British troops fired on snowball-throwing civilians in the “Boston Massacre” of 1770, the image of the Royal Government dropped beyond redemption. Adams also likely played a role in organizing the band of “Indians” that held a “tea party” in Boston Harbor in 1773.
