Jewish comedian, Jackis Mason, has caused controversy by recently referring to President, Barack Obama as a “schwartza,”which is a negative Jewish racial slur for African-Americans. Mason had previously apologized to former, New York Mayor David Dinkins for calling him a fancy “swartza” with a mustache in the nineties.

Here are Mason’s statements regarding the controversy.

“Chris Rock has told a lot more jokes about whites than I have against blacks. What about the demeaning words blacks say about Jews?
“If it’s a racist society, the white people are the ones being persecuted because they have to defend themselves.”

“I’m an old Jew. I was raised in a Jewish family where ‘schwartza’ was used. It’s not a demeaning word and I’m not going to defend myself. ”

    This man is old behind “Swartza” himself, we must remember that old age people are getting stupid, as all hockey sticks. And he is a racist in anybody book. Yes sometimes what chris Rock say t is racist too but as a black nation we take it stride and before Chris and them, we took the beat down and smile with us moving on.

    That’s strange you said a joke about black people and nobody laughed. When have you ever been funny. Oh during the Holocaust maybe.

    Racism is evil and we still have a long way to go… It will not change because we have a Black president… The change has to come from within each and everyone of us young and OLD! Apparently this Man has decided to go to the grave with his racism.

    why do we defend racist things black people do but when white people are racist its an issue? these topics are so upside down… i’m getting tired of black planet…seriously…They promote garbage degrading rap, the have very misogynistic articles… They feed us all kinds of garbage and gossip and their ads promote things that arent helpful to the black family or the black image…. there are way too many articles about sex and they stay hanging on Barack Obama’s jock strap. which perplexes me because on my screen this very moment is an ad asking if people regret voting for Obama. This isn’t an outlet for black people to better themselves it’s an outlet for people to perpetuate the stereotypes that have been hanging over an entire races head for centuries. BET is owned by VIACOM so it makes sense for them to not be putting out positive things for black people but TV one, News One Black Planet, Radio One are african american owned and look at the garbage they are feeding us…. i’m sick to death of it…

    i listen to black hip hop music and they constantly call women b***hes. I’m a woman and i don’t like it. But i don’t see any news postings on how so and so called females a derogatory comment. It’s free speech in america. Fat people get called fat, women get called b***hes, white people get called honkeys, jews are made fun of, blondes are called dumb. So, what do we do..stop everyone’s freedom of speach?

    I want to comment on some of these posts that i am reading. I am a person of african descent in so many words i am black and also a male. Now i am not here to give any excuses because i do not believe in them i feel that in these days it is not about color at all, but it is about your income thats the thing that really matters. Its sad to say but it is the truth and most people will try to disguise the truth with all this hoop-la. Now to the comment i read about defending what black people say towards other races i do not condone racist jokes or name calling: but heres the deal how many years has our country, cities, states, municipalities been run by some of the same people; years. I dont understand when people are tryin to blame our Commander in Chief for some of the issues that have been here for years, many people want to judge but they forget about the past situations that led us to this point in history, people forget about the years of slavery or manifest destiny or how this country was founded. But besides that the man has been in office about 52 days now but people are slowly but surely tryin to blame him for some of the things the last 15 presidents did and that is not right at all, that is like your employees blaming their new boss for all the other bull s**t their past bosses did, but your new boss got there only five hours ago with a whole bunch a crap that was left on his desk by the former bosses. So would you give your new boss a chance to fix some of the stuff or just automaticaly start pointing the finger at him. And lastly unfortunatly this is the truth black americans we are not perfect by any means nor do i condone the ignorace of this world, but we were brought here with coehersion and whips and chains and degraded stongly until the late sixties, i am not using an excuse by any means but it only been 50 years and if you study history time lines you will know what i mean. So it is what it is and we as a country need to focus on our kids and the future of our wallets, this new person did not cause the problem he is only trying his best to fix us as a country.

    It’s funny how people bring up freedom of speech when no one realizes that with that freedom of speech comes a degree of responsibility. Irresponsible speech that hurts other people or demeans them often gets hidden under this issue. People need to wake up and utilize more responsibility whenever they speak, especially if it on a public arena.

    I am giving Jackie Mason a pass on this one. He is old and irrelevant, a cultural midget in a land of giants. The more press we give him, the more life we breathe into him. We always knew his kind existed. Let them die in loneliness and rest in peace.
