JOKES ABOUT POLISH. Have we deserve it? [68]
The racist stereotype that Poles are intellectually inferior or have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda and Soviet propaganda.
It's a typical tactic employed by the mediocre against something that has the potential to be outstanding. This has happened to myself many a times. They try to psyche us out with the BS because they know we are destined to greater things and they can't stand this because they realize they will be left in the dust of our pounding hoofprints as we stampede on to our preordained glory. The lower can always tell when someone is better so they devise such tactics and accutely use them. Strategically, they know exactly where to strike. True, they are button pushers. Such are the ways of the weaker among us.
Ironically, Left-wing Hollywood and the TV Networks (like NBC-TV) pushed these racist Polish “jokes” even though they claimed to hate Nazis. Hollywood and NBC-TV evidently hate Nazi propaganda but not when its applied to Poles. Hollywood and Network-TV (NBC) have a deep hatred for Anti-communist, Pro-American, Pro-Catholic Poland.
I haven't really noticed a lot of that. There was the cold war and red scare. Americans think Catholicism is creepy because of Saints and the Pope, but beyond that, there isn't a deep seated hatred of Poland. In fact, many of Polish descent have thrived in the movie business over here. I heard stupid Polish jokes in school. It's not that I can't take a joke. I just can't take a stupidly retarded pathetically redundant one and most Polish jokes are like that. They have no wit to them. They aren't that funny and the ear heaves a heavy sigh at hearing one.
Many Polish Americans who lived before this time have reported that they never heard these racist jokes until AFTER they were introduced by Left-Wing networks like NBC-TV in conjunction with Hollywood. NBC-TV launched Polish-bashing shows such as “Laugh In” which ridiculed Polish people constantly. In addition late night bigots were encouraged to bash Poles with “jokes” that portrayed the Polish people as having subhuman intelligence. Therefore the power of Television and motion pictures was used to demean Polish people with repetitive big lie type propaganda.
Aaah. You are talking about some ancient show on NBC. Laugh IN was before my time so I don't remember it. All In The Family was another one but at least Mike was always berating Archie and was actually much more logical and intelligent too. Mike was the true star of All In The Family and successfully exposed Archie as the idiot he was.
Things have changed tho. Not nearly so much of it is un PC. Do you remember Richard Pryor? He was pretty bad too. Things was once pretty ugly.
