History /
Jews...and their Polish experience [520]
So.....its ok to put up Nazi/KK vids too.....?.....you're treading on thin ice ..Daffy...IMHO
You can't possibly put those 2 together. That's an extreme overgeneralisation. Of course it wouldn't be OK to post Nazi propaganda!
Are you really that easily offended? I find this video a perfect example fitting in this thread.
It's about the Jewish experience in Poland.
How are jews feeling in Poland?
What is general view about Jews in Poland?
Why are they liked?
Why aren't they liked?
Are there still prejudices against them?
This old man still has, as he mumbles something incomprehensible to the reporter & then wanders off saying something about the bloody Jews. Am I propagating anti-semitism by doing this? Is it anything different from what you could see on TV News? Am I giving a platform for an anti-semitist to propagate his views vs. Jews here? I don't think so.
What if I want to get a discussion started about e.g. why the older generation of Poles still generally are wary / unfriendly towards Jews.
The person in this video could very well be an anti-semite or racist. We don't know. It's besides the point. What if I'd have said:
"I saw this video of an older Polish man, ranting on about the Jews. He said jews are x and y"
Would that be ok? I'm still quoting what he said. How can we discuss about anti-jewish feelings in Poland if we don't know what they are?
Racism & anti-semitism isn't going to go away by shutting our eyes & hoping it passes awayHugs & kisses, Sparrow.
Sparrow, can you translate the video's text for us please and we can understand it then. and determine if it falls under the nazi/KKK standard Frank suspects it to be.
and sparrow is not advocating racism - he is pointed out how it exists in the modern day. I think it is interesting to see it. If he WAS advocationg Racism that is not acceptable. But being aware of its existence is knowlegde and we can hopefully learn how to combat and prevent such unacceptable behavior. If it IS inciteful then of course it would be removed - but that remains to be seen
My Polish isn't good enough to understand the first part. At the end he goes on about rambling about "those bloody Jews" & runs off. You should ask someone with a better knowledge of Polish. I think it's insightful, opens up discussion (clearly ...) & slightly funny.
I've been reading this forum for months & posting since weeks. And I've seen more inciteful things than this.
It's up to you, if you think it's inapropriate, you call the shots.
However I think Frank is blowing this way out of context, as he makes accusations about it while not even having seen it or understanding what is being said.
all to easy to propagate unacceptable views..
Have you actually seen some of the other threads being posted here? Why aren't you as revolting about them? Perhaps it's easier to ask the mod to take down a video rather than going in discussion with the people "propagating unacceptable views" ? You're barking at the wrong tree, imho.
