Veteran Jewish comedian Jackie Mason has plunged the BBCs Desert Island Discs into the centre of a race row by claiming that Jewish and black people are no longer the victims of racial discrimination.
Mason, 75, who is regarded as one of the worlds greatest stand-up comedy stars, said some minority groups wrongly believe they are still being persecuted because of an inability to escape the past.

racism or anti semitism is whatever the members of that ‘victim group’ say it is...same with sexual harrasment, its whatever the ‘victim’ woman says it is....there in lies the problem...
The minute we made being a victim of what ever “ism” one could take advantage of profitable all “isms” became eternal...
Whats wrong with racism?...
Being for your own race does not pre-suppose you hate other races..
Being against your own race is indeed racism..
No wonder Barry Half-White is confused..
He implies hes black when is NOT..
Same with Louie the Lip.. he is not totally black either..
Being black seems to be a perception not a DNA thing..
THEN you got your “Pigford fiasco”... now thats racism..
The war on whitey must continue at all costs. The longer we stick our heads in the sand that anti-white racists are in control of the country, the worse off we’ll be. The old worn out narrative of the Left is that racism runs only one way and will never go away.
Maybe not in New York City... But it sure as hell exists in South Korea... and in some members of the US military (in my experience, the US Army and Air Force).
Or perhaps having a collegue say “The Jews control the world” when talking politics isn’t anti-Semitism? (The guy didn’t know I was Jewish until I told ‘im to lick my boots, since I ‘controlled the world’... which meant him, too.)
Or the supervisor who flat-out said it was alright to allow early work-release for Easter... but not for Yom Kippur. Even after explaining it’s importance.
Or the South Korean school textbook that states that the Jews control America. That was an eye opener! The illustrations were at the “Der Stürmer” level.
Sure, it’s not very common anymore. But to say it doesn’t exist anymore is absurd.
What the h*ll happened????
I love Jackie Mason’s humor. Much of it is truth that we don’t want to hear. I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan’s show and had to look up the “one finger” incident to confirm it after all these years.
