Why was it wrong for Rick Sanchez to say the media is ran by Jews?

Its the truth................

If you disagree, can you explain how? I don't see how the Jews are an opressed minority nowadays in America at all. When people suggest that I think they're kidding cause there are a lot of Jews with top jobs and they help each other out and everything. And you rarely ever hear racism against Jews in America (even though technically Judaism isn't a race because they have varied ancestors) nowdays, too. Unless you're going to talk about Israel and stuff but that is a different topic.
I'm 100?ure there is more racism than antisemitism in the world

Wow.

Let's see.

1. The media is not run by Jews. In fact, the media seems to be run by Christians and the second largest owner of Fox news is an Arab Sheik.

2. "they help each other out and everything." Seriously? That's about as stupid as "I know a black person, do you know them too?"

3. "You hardly ever hear about racism against Jews nowadays..." I'm hearing it now in your post.
In 2007, 69?ll religious hate crimes were directed at Jews according to the national center for victims of crime http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbName=DocumentViewer&DocumentID=38715

There is also a lot of such crime around the world.

Many organizations have unofficial policies of not hiring or promoting Jews because they "are not like us." Heck, ivy league universities used to sit together and conspire to limit the number of Jews admitted across all Ivy league schools...

4. I don't know that Rick Sanchez' firing really had that much to do with the stupid comment. I mean have you seen him on tv? This is the guy who had himself tasered on tv for ratings. AND his mentor and protector, the guy who hired him (a Jew) was fired a week earlier...a sign that his protection was ready to run out.

5. By the way, Jews are both a religion and a race.
We share common history, culture and even genetics.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/science/10jews.html
Sharon Begley. "The DNA of Abraham's Children." Newsweek Web Exclusive (June 3, 2010). Excerpts:"The latest DNA volume weighs in on the controversial, centuries-old (and now revived in a 2008 book) claim that European Jews are all the descendants of Khazars, a Turkic group of the north Caucasus who converted to Judaism in the late eighth and early ninth century. The DNA has spoken: no. ... To sort it out, researchers collected DNA from Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, and Ashkenazi Jews around New York City; Turkish Sephardic Jews in Seattle; Greek Sephardic Jews in Thessaloniki and Athens; and Italian Jews in Rome as part of the Jewish HapMap Project. (All four grandparents of each participant had to have come from the same community.) ... Jewish populations, that is, have retained their genetic coherence just as they have retained their cultural and religious traditions, despite migrations from the Middle East into Europe, North Africa, and beyond over the centuries, says geneticist Harry Ostrer of NYU Langone Medical Center, who led the study. Each Diaspora group has distinctive genetic features 'representative of each group's genetic history,' he says, but each also 'shares a set of common genetic threads' dating back to their common origin in the Middle East. 'Each of the Jewish populations formed its own distinctive cluster, indicating the shared ancestry and relative genetic isolation of the members of each of those groups.' The various Jewish groups were more related to each other than to non-Jews, as well. Within every Jewish group, individuals shared as much of their genome as two fourth or fifth cousins.

Because scrutiny of Jewish America is like kryptonite for them. They are uber wealthy, powerful, and influential relative to their numbers. Yes, part of that is because, as a group, they are hard-working and determined. But, they, as a group, are also clannish, separatist, nepotistic, supremacist, pushy, secretive, and deceptive. So, you can see how they don't like the spotlight on themselves.

American Jews make up only 2?f the population of America. Yet: 46?ake over $100,000 per year, they make up 15?f the U.S. Senate, 13?f the U.S. House of Representatives, 67?f members of the Board of the Federal reserve, 33?f the U.S. Supreme Court. Media: Just taking CNN only, 55?f corporate officers for TBS, which owns CNN, are Jewish. On air, Larry King, John King, Howard Kurtz, Eliot Slpitzer, Jeffrey Toobin, Paula Zahn, etc.. Rick Sanchez has nothing to apologize for.

Furthermore, the 2007 Vanity Fair 100 Most Powerful People in the World list was over 50?ewish (remember, they are less than 2?f the population). In response to the list, Joseph Aarons, the editor of the Chicago Jewish News commented, "Talk about us being accepted into this society, talk about us having power in this society".

In addition, the film industry is completely dominated by Jewish Americans. See the 2008 article by L.A. Times journalist Joel Stein entitled “Who runs Hollywood? C'mon”.

The people who own the major networks and who are the biggest hollywood producers really are Jewish. That is just the truth.

In America and other Western nations, saying anything negative about Judaism is a sensitive subject because whenever it's brought up, it always leads to the Nazis. In Sanchez's case, he's a news anchor, not a pundit or commentator, so he can't afford to alienate or highlight any minority, no matter how much or how little, because he's expected to be taken seriously.
Answered By: Chest Bump - 10/10/2010

Jews were the successful minority in Germany, just like the Armenians were in Turkey. A lot of the resentment was due to their success.

For recent hate crimes against Jews try the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Anti-Defamation League sites.

If you really want to see anti-Semitism, David Duke has a website, and the Stormfront group is also a center. Perhaps you can see that it can go well beyond harmless.

Sanchez is an idiot and needed someone to blame. Like most bigots he goes for the smallest population of people he can.

That's the mark of a pu$$y.

Answered By: hilton_b_2000 - 10/10/2010
"its the truth
If you disagree, can you explain how?"

No, it is not on us to disprove your assertion, its on you to prove yours.

" I don't see how the Jews are an opressed minority nowadays in America at all."

Generally speaking, Jews are not an "opressed minority" in America. Sanchez was using what is called a "strawman argument", that is claiming that Jews claim that (which is not true) for the purpose of then complaining about it.

"And you rarely ever hear racism against Jews in America"

No, its called antisemitism not racism. Generally speaking, antisemitic incidents in America are relatively low to the point where Jews are not an oppressed minority. Nevertheless, statistically speaking, if you compare antisemitic, racist, or "anti other religious groups" incidents, antisemitism is still #1.

"Judaism isn't a race because they have varied ancestors"
You are correct that Judaism isn't a race but Jews are also a distinct ethnic group. Though it is possible to become Jewish via conversion to Judaism, the majority of Jews are not descendants of converts.

"Unless you're going to talk about Israel and stuff but that is a different topic."

You are correct that it is a "different topic" though in SOME cases anti Israel people make it about Jews, even if it is only in the elliptical sense. (That is my way of saying that in some cases, anti Zionism of some is motivated by anti semitism.)

I should note though that Sanchez' boss who fired him was NOT Jewish. From what I understand, his comment may have been the "straw that broke the camel's back".

Update:
"I'm 100?ure there is more racism than antisemitism in the world"

Racism directed at ANYONE or RACISM directed at a specific group? Racism worldwide or racism in the USA (which is the topic of discussion?

The fact is if you do a comparison between racism directed at a specific group (e.g. blacks) in the USA then there are more anti semitic incidents in comparison.

Specifically, they have done studies and have found that in the USA, Canada, and Britain, anti semitism happened more often than anti black racism (#2 spot in all cases) or other groups.

And as I mentioned, YOU are the one making claims. YOU back it up.
Answered By: BMCR - 10/10/2010
Ok so first of all "They help each other out and everything" What the heck is that supposed to mean??!!
Like folks from the same College or Home Town or Sports Club don't help each other out.
Seriously ??!!

FOX is one of the biggest media companies in the world run by Rupert Murdock. NOT in any way Jewish,

CNN, Well that's Ted Turner, who also owns TBS and a whole host of other media.
Sony, That's Japan.
MGM, Bankrupt
Apple, Public but run by Steve Jobs
Microsoft, Gill Gates.

The list goes on. But your query is racist and bigoted.
The fact is that Jews are a tiny minority in the USA. Around 5 million people. So that make them less than Blacks, Gays, Hispanics, and yes, women.
Jews are a statistical minority.
They are not persecuted in the USA. They are in other places.
But what the USA can learn from this is that comments like Sanchez's lay the groundwork for bigotry and racism and are the beginning of that persecution.
Some Jews are successful. They are because they work hard, stress education and family.
If you have a problem with that then there is not much use communicating with you.

I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit).
