USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

I've come across lots of speech of hate towards Poles in the internet.

The reason why you hear some Americans make Anti-Polish comments is because you have good and bad in every nation and group of people. Generally its low class people who disparage other groups of people. Usually what people say on the internet to others they would never say face to face to someone.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

I'm usually a nice guy and being of different opinion is no reason for me to not accept, respect and even like my counterpart...but who p*isses on my leg get's answered in kind.

You conveniently forget that YOU were the one who started the p*ssing. One can hardly say that I started "p*ssing on your leg" when I was saying positive things about Germans and then AFTER that you direct anti-Polish slurs towards me and other Poles.

If me saying "I like German people" you think is "p*ssing on your leg" then you are mentally ill. Am I suppose to say "I like German people" more then once for your brain to think that I'm NOT "p*ssing on your leg"?

Should I have said "I like German people" 2 times? 3 times? 5 times? 10 times? In order for it to kick in inside your brain that I was trying to be nice to you and German people in general? How big of an ethno-centric German egomaniac are you?

When you are calling everbody a Nazi with whom you disagree I can call you stupid Pole...

Oh no of course not you never freak out! ROFL!!!

When I was making German jokes referencing the German movie the "Eternal Jew" in REACTION to your anti-Polish jokes/slurs and AFTER I was trying to be nice to you, you started freaking out by searching every anti-Polish joke smut site you could find and fast and furiously copying and pasting them here in this forum in retaliation to my jokes on Germans.

History / Thinking of changing Wikipedia's Holocaust article to include genocide of Poles. [78]

Ever since my return from Poland It's pissed me off how much the holocaust is equated with the Jews, without even a token mention of Poles, 2 million of whom died at the hands of the Nazis, and whose culture and nationhood was the target for complete annihilation.

It was THREE million non-Jewish Poles killed, not 2 million.

As soon as few hours Polish soldiers will march on Red square in Moscow.

Well said Constantine. You sound like you have an open mind.

You're suggestion of forgiveness shows that you are humble.

Although I'm sure Russia and Poland will continue to have their differences, its always good for countries that have had tensions, to try to get along.

The past Polish Pope seemed to have a good relationship with the former Russian leader Mr. Gorbachev. Although the Polish Pope didn't like the Soviet Union, he generally liked the Russian people.

And you won't see us organising zealeous crusades against the joker...should tell you something! ;)

Oh please Bratwurst Boy. There is no crusade against anything. Poles/Polish Americans like me aren't saying against normal jokes. Only the SUBHUMAN INTELLIGENCE jokes against Poles which then make them ETHNIC SLURS. We don't speak out any differently then any other ethnic group against ETHNIC SLURS. I don't hear you complaining against all the other groups that speak out against ETHNIC SLURS.

But it really seems to be only a "problem" for you Plastic Poles. Must have something to do with growing up so far away from the Heimat...;)

Your such a German Hypocrite.

After all your anti-Polish jokes I one time gave you a dose of your own medicine and made jokes about how Germany has a rapidly growing old population (Average German is 45 years old) and is a nation with a rapidly growing young Muslim population that's taking over Germany (1/3 of Germany's youth are Muslim) and you started freaking out on me.

If I made jokes about you Germans being stupid NAZI Blood thirsty idiots for following a maniac like Hitler and kept making jokes about you Germans being NAZI "GERM-ans" and NAZI Bloodsuckers who are bloodthirsty sickos, not to mention jokes about that feminine German dance where German men wear short shorts and like to slap the bottom of their feet because their weird, your telling me that wouldn't offend you?? You're so touchy about your German hertiage you would be dishing back anti-Polish slurs right and left if I made these jokes about your Germany. Stop being such a hypocrite.

funny thing is the person who is sending them doesn't understand what Mick and Paddy means! He just thinks the Irish are stupid!

So what's your point? That all Polish people are saying deragatory things?

You say "YOU can dole it out but can't take"?? What do you mean by that? Is that meant to me? To all Polish people? Are you generalizing?

So assuming you're not just making up that you "get 5 jokes a week that are deragatory to Irish people from a Polish person!", you're going to generalize about a whole group of people like the Poles?? (I find it hard to believe you would you put up with somebody saying the things you allege)

Should I generalize about Irish people (or any group of people) when I hear some of them make deragatory comments about Poles or other people?

I never hear any Polish jokes, either. They are so lame and cliche. Nobody wants to tell another Polish knock knock joke for the fifty millionth time, nor do they want to hear one.

You're right.

In the US right now, in general you can't go openly telling put down ethnic or racial jokes about anyone. America has grown up from the 1960's and 70's when that was more tolerated. The only people today who make ethnic slurs about other people are low-class people and Neo-Nazis.

But right now you appear to be just a bitter, humourless, unsympathetic, uneducated, fanatical bloke who isn't very inviting for anyone to change his prejudices he might harbour about Poles and Poland, sorry!

LOL

Oh please. Stop with your nonsense.

German Hypocrite.

You're the last person to make these kind of judgements.

Everything you just accused me of applies to you and your Germany.

So what about you? For all the advantages Germany has been given by the US with tons of aid, Billions of dollars of aid and loans, etc. a country that should have been whiped off the face of the earth because of its disgusting actions, your country has gotten away litterally with murder, with breaks and chances that it never deserved. The fact that Germany was ALLOWED to live on after WWII was an incredible break you were given and I'm sure you take for granted.

But even with all that Germany has been given and all that "Germany has achieved", you are paranoid about all the things said about Germany and you feel this burning need to see other nations put down to take away attention from all the negative imagery of your Germany. That's your MAIN reason for you coming to the POLAND forum. To make sure you see Poland put down. Nothing like that German "Schaudenfreude". Taking pleasure at others being put down. You probably spend more time here then any German forum. Or you probably also go to another national forum putting them down in order to boost your German self esteem.

The last person's opinion I care about is someone like you. Especially with your subtle Nazi overtones.

By the way, seeing that you are so paranoid about all things German and sensing that you're Hyper sensitive German-Centric attitude on the world, being the nice guy I am, I DID TELL YOU that I like Germany (at least non-Nazis) and I generally have been cordial to you. How did you respond? You then started pushing your Pro-Nazi German anti-Polish propaganda links. Yeah way to go!!!! Way to do the things that you preach to others! LOL

Dude you're the biggest hypocrite LOL

If you are comfortable with the truth, you will not let the views of one poster take you from it :)

Don't worry that will never happen lol

But sadly for Poland and Poles, Poland has lost the information war on the truth about it because of the oppression Poland has been under by its enemies up to 1990. Sadly the truth of Poland has been defined largely by Poland-haters in certain media and by Poland's past enemies. So to the degree I can, I will always try to counteract lies and slander against Poland. But I will say, this for me goes way beyond BBoy.

Seanus,

I see what your saying, but I only "attack" people like the German Bratwurst Boy AFTER his sarcastic attacks. There was a time when I told this Bratwurst Boy, knowing all about his hyper-German ethno-centrism ,that, I LIKE GERMAN PEOPLE, to put his German-centric mind at ease. So here it is, I told him I LIKE GERMAN PEOPLE. What did he do next?, he just started to make sarcastic anti-Polish comments and posting Pro-Nazi German anti-Polish links. So what am I suppose to do, be a nice guy and have a conversation with him when he gets belligerent like that?

My recent comments to him were only a reaction to his sarastic attacks. If he dishes it out, he should be able to take it as well.

Its a lot more simpler then that. The Nazis felt the Poles and all Slavs were inferior people who had inferior intelligence. It has nothing to do with Poles doing or not doing something for them.

Actually the people who are most stupid are all the idiots who supported the Nazis in Nazi Germany.

Their are different types of Polish jokes.

The Kiebasa jokes, Pierogi jokes, stubborn jokes, came from Poles themselves and were inside type jokes.

The subhuman intelligence jokes about Poles came from Nazi propaganda that was ironically imported into the US by Leftist Anti-Polish Bigots in Hollywood and NBC-TV in the 1960's and then pushed in the 70's.

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [120]

When you GENERALIZE about Polish people and say:

"Is it some kind of inferiority complex? I know the answer, because we all are suffering from the same disease - yes, it is an inferiority complex"

All I can say is SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

Frankly people of any group of people could be accused of what you accuse Poles of.

This notion that Poles think "they are the center of the universe" is the first time I heard anything like this. And by the way, don't most people think that way? Come to ethnic areas of the US and you will see how ethno-centric many of these groups are. Read ethnic and racial newspapers of other groups to see how ethno-centric they are.

As for your description of Poles, I don't know too many Polish Americans that are like that.

We're both aware that maybe 5% of the posters are polish,

I don't know about 5% of the posters here are Poles/people of Polish ancestry, but I will say they are definitely in the minority here. The overwhelming MAJORITY of posters in these forum topics are Non-Poles/people who are not of Polish ancestry.

And in true Polish democratic fashion, this Polish forum allows ALL types of opinions both good and bad about Poland and Polish people.

i dont like muslims but i dont have to like them to defend their basic human rights

This is true.

People who are fair minded defend the basic human rights of other people even if they disagree with them.

Look, I think no one really cares about what the NY says. Newspapers are constantly and shamelessly manipulated. Read them, burn them afterwards, but don't go and hit your head against the wall because your creepy country gets ridiculed by people that probably don't even know that Europe is a continent, not a country whose capital is Paris.

All I'm doing is pointing out the New York Times' manipulation of the truth and history and how it slanders, lies and bashes Poland. So I don't know why you would say something about "hit your head against the wall......."

And my "creepy country" is the United States which I'm proud of.

News / Changing Face in Poland: Skinnhead Puts on a Skullcap [90]

Poles don't generally like Jews, why should Jews like them?

I agree with you.

If you read Anti-Polish newspapers like the NY Times its ALWAYS OK to put the Poles on the DEFENSIVE when talking about Polish-Jewish relations.

Poles are always the bad guys and Jews are always the good guys according to the New York Times.

If "Jews feel that Poles generally don't like them" why were they crazy enough to CHOOSE to live in Poland for ONE THOUSAND YEARS?????

When will the Polish-Hating New York Times ever answer that question???????

According to the Anti-Polish Bigots at the New York Times, Poles are doing anti-semitic things to Jews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. And for all of Poland's history!!

Your also right about the double standard. If a Pole did or said something silly to a Jewish person, it would be viewed as part of Polish Anti-Semitism blah blah blah. But when somebody Jewish engages in that behavior against Poles its dismissed as just "childs play" or something like that.

Don't these Lefty Newspapers and media that always slam the Poles as always being "anti-semitic devils" while Jews are 100% angels all of the time, realize that there are also Jews who are bad? Don't they realize that there is bad and good in ALL groups of people? Or do they believe Jews are superior to that??

News / Changing Face in Poland: Skinnhead Puts on a Skullcap [90]

Not sure if this has been posted already but I just read this article and found it fascinating:

WARSAW — When Pawel looks into the mirror, he can still sometimes see a neo-Nazi skinhead staring back, the man he was before he covered his shaved head with a skullcap, traded his fascist ideology for the Torah and renounced violence and hatred in favor of God.

Yeah I find this NY Times article fascinating too. Its fascinating that the NY Times just never lets up on its Anti-Polish Hate campaign against Poland and Poles.

In the true NY Times Left-Wing Anti-Polish fashion of bashing Poland with lies, slander and exagerrations and ONE-SIDED accounts of history, the NY Times never misses a chance to push its anti-Polish hatred and Bigotry on Poland whenever the issue of JEWS AND POLES come up. As usual, Jews are portrayed by the NY Times as pure as snow and 100% innocent and can do no wrong and the Poles are 100% bad and anti-semitic blah blah blah.

This is from the NY Times article by Anti-Polish Bigot Dan Bilefsky:

Twenty years after the fall of Communism, Pawel is perhaps the most unlikely example of the Jewish revival under way in Poland, of a moment in which Jewish leaders here say the country is finally showing solid signs of shedding the rabid anti-Semitism of the past. Before 1939, Poland was home to more than three million Jews, more than 90 percent of whom were killed by the Nazis. Most who survived emigrated. Of the fewer than 50,000 who remained in Poland, many abandoned or hid their Judaism during decades of Communist oppression in which political pogroms against Jews persisted.

Today, though, Michael Schudrich, the chief rabbi of Poland, said he considered Poland the most pro-Israel country in the European Union. He said the attitude of Pope John Paul II, a Pole, who called Jews “our elder brothers,” had finally entered the public consciousness.

Ten years after the revelation that 1,600 Jews of the town of Jedwabne were burned alive by their Polish neighbors in July 1941, he said the national myth that all Poles were victims of World War II had finally been shattered.

“Before 1989 there was a feeling that it was not safe to say, ‘I am a Jew,’ ” Rabbi Schudrich said. “But two decades later, there is a growing feeling that Jews are a missing limb in Poland. The level of anti-Semitism remains unacceptable, but the image of the murderous Pole seared in the consciousness of many Jews after the war doesn’t correspond to the Poland of 2010.”


All these Anti-Polish hate propaganda bits such as:

Poland's "rabid anti-semitism of the past"

Image of the "murderous Poles seared in the consciousness of many Jews after the war"

Stating as FACT that "Ten years after the revelation that 1,600 Jews of the town of Jedwabne were burned alive by their Polish neighbors in July 1941"

What a bunch of Anti-Polish hatred and bigotry by the NY Times

This thing about "1600 Jews being burned by Polish neighbors" has been debunked so many times as being a GROSS exaggeration (punned intended as the guy who wrote this book is a Polish Jew name Jan T. Gross who made a lot of money off of this book among Polish-haters)

When Poles asked Jan Gross why he said 1600 Jews were locked in a barn and killed by Poles when the barn COULD ONLY HOLD 300 PEOPLE, Gross in a cocky manner smugly smiled and said" I THOUGHT I WOULD ROUND OFF THE NUMBER!

What an Anti-Polish Bigot and Hate monger this Jan Gross is!

When an excavation of the death site of where this anti-semitic atrocity took place and evidence was coming about showing CONTRADICTIONS to what Jan Gross ALLEGED at Jedwabne, ALL OF A SUDDEN the rabbis and Gross's supporters CALLED OFF THE INVESTIGATION AND EXCAVATION of the Jedwabne incident because of "Jewish religious reasons". The evidence showing that Nazi German bullets were found in many of the Jewish bodies contradicted Gross's anti-Polish allegations, since everyone knows the Poles would never be armed by the Germans to do anything.

But of course the visciously Anti-Polish NY Times reports this Jedwabne incident like its a FACT. But what do you want from a newspaper that has pro-Soviet/Communist sympathies and hates those countries that stood up to communism?

What do you want from a newspaper that LIED about the atrocities the Soviets were commintting in Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic states and elsewhere in the 30's and 40's?

Also with all these Anti-Polish hate phrases by the NY Times of Poland

such as "Poland's rabid anti-semitism of the past"

WHEN WILL the NY Times ever explain WHY MOST Jews were INSANE enough to CHOOSE to LIVE IN POLAND for ONE THOUSAND YEARS if it was so Anti-Semitic??????

And if Jews felt they were being mistreated in Poland, WHY DIDN'T THEY LEAVE?????

The Silence from the NY Times on these important questions is deafening.

"Poland's Tragedy is our Tragedy" by Ed Harris - American Jewish Committee

NEW YORK (JTA) - When the plane carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and dozens of other officials crashed in the Katyn Forest near Smolensk, Russia on Saturday, this immense disaster was also a personal tragedy.

(David Harris is executive director of the American Jewish Committee.)
