Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

dolnoslask,

Well actually....although the American people did "pick on" and ridicule Poles with so called "Polish jokes"....this Anti-Polish prejudice is something that did not originate from the hearts and minds of Americans Per Se. They learned this Anti-Polish propaganda from the Left Wing Anti-Polish Hollywood/TV networks that they watched day after day. It was no coincidence that the The peak of Anti-Polish Bigotry in the US....was in the 1960's to 1970's when the Left wing TV networks were going crazy pumping out shows which contained dialog of anti-Polish jokes and "Dumb Polack this" and "Dumb Polish that", etc. So unfortunately.....these constant Anti-Polish sound bites got into their brains and they thought....HEY if I see people on TV bashing Poles with Anti-Polish slurs....It must be "OK" for me to do so!

This video helps explain this - NBC-TV's Anti-Polish Hate joke slurs of 1960's and 70's and onwards
youtube.com/watch?v=zho2w1-0nCE

The Left-wing media in the US is certainly no friend of Polish people and they are reluctant to report on any thing positive about Poles.

That's why I'm glad there is alternative/internet media on Poles now that show the good things Poles do. I have found that most Americans get a favorable impression of Poles when they see media like this on Poles. Most Americans I know RESPECT Poland for standing up to Islam and think Poland is an INTELLIGENT nation for standing up to Islam. See comments on this video

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

The origin of the stereotype that Polish people have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda. Hitler in his speeches made "jokes" about how Polish people have subhuman intelligence, since he felt Poles were a subhuman race with subhuman intelligence. Ironically, the Leftist "Anti-Nazi"(Anti-Polish) Hollywood/TV establishment LOVED this Nazi propaganda about Poles...and imported these Anti-Polish jokes into America....RENAMING them as "Polish jokes". They did this to degrade the image of Polish people

Life / The nature of Polish jokes? [125]

Hi delphiandomine,

How's it going buddy?

I miss you too! :D

As for your question, if I am frequently objecting to how other ethnicities and races are portrayed......frankly I have not frequently objected to even to how Polish people are portrayed in the past several years, since you haven't really seen me post on these incidents in these recent years.

But if you can show me where other ethnicities and races are being portrayed badly.....let me know pal....and I will object to them.

Your buddy

Life / The nature of Polish jokes? [125]

Merged: Polish Americans ask NBC President Stephen Burke to stop promoting Hitler/Nazi propaganda against Poles

On October 3, NBC-TV's "Saturday Night Live" had Colin Jost make a Nazi Anti-Polish "joke" the night before the NYC Pulaski Polish heritage parade.

He made a "joke" insinuating that Polish people have inferior/subhuman intelligence in using computers....which is absurd since Warsaw University students are highly competitive in the International IBM computer programming contest called the "Battle of the Brains".

The Polish American Congress (Anti-Bigotry Committee) asked NBC president Stephen Burke to review this Oct. 3 episode and to stop promoting Hitler theories and bigotry against Poles. Unfortunately....last night Oct. 24....NBC repeated this SNL anti-Polish episode again. So NBC President Stephen Burke is either an Anti-Polish Bigot or he doesn't mind the Nazi like Anti-Polish element at NBC continuing to bash Poles.

polishamericanreview.com/par2_027.htm

The origin of "Polish Jokes" is Nazi German propaganda....and NBC-TV had a large role in bringing this Nazi Anti-Polish propaganda into America and spreading it

polamjournal.com/Library/Fighting_Defamation/The_Origin_of_the_Polish_Joke/the_origin_of_the_polish_joke.html

Poles and people against ethnic bigotry should let NBC Universal president Stephen Burke know how they feel about this.

History / Polish mathematicians who solved the Enigma machine [86]

I think its absolutely disgusting for the British and Pro-Brits.. who made movies like "Enigma" and "Imitation Game", which give ZERO credit to the Polish people who were the ones who FIRST broke the difficult Nazi German code Enigma... and NOT the Brit Alan Turing.

Polish people get NO credit for breaking the Enigma Code in Pro-British/Anti-Polish PROPAGANDA movies like "Imitation Game" and "Enigma"

Life / In need of good Polish jokes about Polish culture, people, etc [226]

jon357,

Well since you and your Jewish/Pro-Jewish friends here are bringing up "Jews"

Are their ethnic joke books about Jews in Poland....like the Nazi subhuman intelligence hate jokes about Polish people/"Polish joke" book that your fellow Jewish American Larry Wilde wrote about Polish people? He first published it 4 decades ago...and now he just republished it again recently.

Evidently.....Larry Wilde is a big fan of the Nazi subhuman intelligence hate jokes the Nazi Germans told about Polish people. Of course ol Larry Wilde RENAMED the Nazi German subhuman intelligence hate jokes about Polish people as "Polish Jokes".

Its amazing how so many Jews who love to attack Polish people with inferior intelligence hate jokes....NEVER make any inferior intelligence hate jokes about the Germans....when Jews have told us that the Germans supposedly killed 6 million Jews. Jews like Norman Lear, Larry Wilde. the Jews at NBC-TV, ABC-TV (like the producers of the Anti-Polish Drew Carry show Mr. Helford, etc) act like the Germans never killed any Jews....or these Jews think that the Germans were not stupid for supporting a Jew-Hating maniac like Hitler. All of these Anti-Polish Jews who went crazy attacking Polish people with subhuman intelligence hate jokes....EVIDENTLY felt the Germans were never stupid for supporting a Jew-Hating maniac like Hitler. So tell me.....do Jews think the Germans were stupid for supporting a Jew-hating maniac like Hitler??? Evidently not....because even the vicious Polish-hater Norman Lear NEVER made any jokes in his idiot show "All in the Family" about Germans being stupid.

Why do you Jews think the Germans were not stupid for killing 6 million Jews? Why do Jews who bash Polish people act as if Germans were "Not so bad against Jews"???

Assuming what you say is true....which I doubt since you always have an Anti-Polish agenda

Are Poles telling jokes to people and then killing them?....which is how the Origin of "Polish Jokes" started by the Nazi Germans [Which for some reason Hollywood and an element of the American TV for some reason LOVED] was manifested against Polish Christians.

Oh yes its just "pure paranoia" to think that there are POWERFUL TV networks that still CONTINUE to bash and degrade Polish people with the Nazi German stereotype that Polish people have "inferior intelligence". HEY I THOUGHT THESE American TV networks hated Nazi-German propaganda??? OH YES they HATE Nazi German propaganda against their favorite ethnic groups like Jewish people.....but they seem to LOVE LOVE LOVE Nazi German propaganda against Polish people!! Gee I WONDER WHY????

Yes yes yes....JUST LOOK at how these FINE people at CBS-TV.....who brought us the fine TV show "All in the Family" where the Polish-Hater Norman Lear went crazy pumping into the minds of the FORTY MILLION AMERICANS who watched his idiot show "All in the Family" TONS and TONS of Anti-Polish slurs of how Polish people are "DUMB POLACKS" and "MEATHEAD DUMB POLACKS"....are NOW GIVING US...the vicious Anti-Polish show "2 Broke Girls"....where the anti-Polish producers of the show PORTRAY the Polish character as being an IDIOT with INFERIOR INTELLIGENCE!!

rozumiemnic,

Actually the people who are most unhinged are a certain element of Hollywood and the US media who IMPORTED NAZI GERMAN subhuman intelligence hate jokes about Polish people into the US in the 1960's/70's...and then RENAMED them as "Polish Jokes" to demean and degrade Poland/Polish people....as if they were the enemy of America.

See youtube video: "Polish Jokes origin is Nazi German Propaganda Part 2D"

If you and "jon357" are people on the Polishforums who REALLY care about Polish people...and don't like seeing Polish people being unfairly attacked by Nazi German propaganda subhuman intelligence hate jokes/"Polish jokes".....you should not be attacking me...you should attack the Poland-Haters who push these Anti-Polish hate joke slurs.

jon357,

That's a bunch of baloney jon.

Anti-Polish hate jokes are a product of Nazi German Propaganda subhuman intelligence hate jokes against Polish people which the Nazi Germans told Polish people when they were murdering them. The sign at the Nazi German death camp "ARBEIT MACHT FREI" which means "Work will make you free" was meant as a Nazi German subhuman intelligence joke/"Polish joke" against the FIRST 200,000 victims of Auschwitz who were Polish CHRISTIANS and NOT Jews.

See Youtube video "Polish Jokes Origin is Nazi German Propaganda Part 2C"

Show me some links where Poland/Polish people were using jokes against other people like the Nazi Germans were using Anti-Polish hate jokes against Polish people while they were murdering them?

RUSSIA IS A LAND OF LOCUSTS: IT LIVES TO DESTROY - NOT TO BUILD. This knew our fathers, grandfathers, we and the generations to come. All its history it was a terror state, poisoning the surroundings. Not for me to tell you that. Keep Poland safe!

This is quite interesting.

As somebody of Slavic/Polish ancestry who is proud of being Slavic, I would love to see Slavic nations creating a powerful Slavic alliance among themselves. But how can this happen, if the biggest Slavic nation in the world is invading and attacking a fellow Slavic nation Ukraine??

Poland being labeled either as a Eastern or Central European nation is fine by me.

But I think Poland labeled as an Eastern European nation, has something to do with Poland being part of all of the other countries like Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, etc that were once controlled by the Soviet Union.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Well then maybe you can tell that to the vast majority of Americans who delighted in Archie Bunker's anti-Polish joke/slurs who COULDN'T WAIT to go up to the next Polish American they met in the work force or at school the next day after watching "All in the Family" and tell them how "they were so glad Archie GAVE IT TO THAT DUMB MEATHEAD POLACK on the show for ACTING LIKE A DUMB POLACK!!".

I and many other Polish Americans growing up remember hearing other Americans (insecure of their own ethnic ancestry) just chomping at the bit to go up to people like me and other Polish Americans saying "I AM SO GLAD ARCHIE PUT THAT DUMB POLACK Michael Stivic in his place for acting like "such a dumb Polack".

I remember in particular one Irish American kid screaming to his friends in the playground saying........Did you see how DUMB THAT POLACK WAS ON "All in the Family last night"??? MY GOD WHAT A DUMB STUPID POLACK HE WAS!!! I AM SO GLAD ARCHIE TOLD HIM HOW DUMB A POLACK HE WAS!!!!!

I remember even as a young kid thinking......For GOD SAKES THIS IS JUST A STUPID TV SHOW by some ASSHOLE anti-Polish BIgot Norman Lear who hates Polish people who is portraying a "Polish character" Michael Stivic......who in real life is NOT POLISH.....yet this idiot Irish American kid on an emotional level actually thinks this show is REAL and is too stupid too know "All in the Family" is done by ACTORS and is NOT REALITY.

Yet......this is the POWER OF TV MEDIA. You actually have MILLIONS of viewers who at some level in their mind think this is how Polish people should be treated!! To be called "Dumb Meathead Polack" all the time since THIS is what their brains are IMPLANTED with DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY on this idiot white trash show!

Although "All in the Family" ridiculed many ethnic backgrounds, the ethnic group mocked the most was the POLISH people. So Americans of various ethnic backgrounds ENJOYED seeing it because.....although their own ethnic background was mocked ONCE IN A WHILE by Archie BUnker.......they can feel safe and secure and feel SUPERIOR about their own ethnic background......because it was those "DUMB MEATHEAD POLACKS" who were trashed the most!!!

"All in the Family" was a great show to watch if you were an American of non-Polish ancestry......because you knew at the end of the day........it was those "DUMB MEATHEAD POLACKS" who got the most abuse in the show that the Polish-Hater Norman Lear intended.

Most Non-Polish Americans just couldn't wait to watch Archie Bunker "Give it to that Dumb Polack on the show (who was a Jew in real life) because it made them feel SO SUPERIOR about their OWN ethnic background because they KNEW Archie never went after their ethnic backrground like those "Dumb Meathead Polacks"!

There was a lot of Shaudenfruede at play here. Millions of Americans of NON-Polish ancestry taking DELIGHT at the Polish Bashing they saw was because it made them feel so superior about their own ethnic ancestry that wasn't bashed nearly as much.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

A friend of mine (in Canada) calls me either; "meat-head" or "Polack"

Gee I wonder where the label "meathead" came from about Polish people in North America?

Let's just say it never existed before that 1970's show "All in the Family" where the bigot character (also called the "loveable bigot" by the rest of the establishment American/North American media) Archie Bunker......day after day after day after day was implanting this anti-Polish sound bite into the millions of viewers' minds who watched the show.

Thanks to that good old Hollywood/TV media white Liberal supremacist anti-Polish bigot producer of "All in the Family" Norman Lear, millions of North Americans had implanted in their minds the notion that "Polish people EQUAL "meathead" and "Polish people EQUAL "dumb Polack".

How tolerant these White Liberal Supremacists in the Hollywood/TV media establishment like Norman Lear are. LOL

The show "All in the Family", that was supposed to be "against ethnic bigotry", actually did a good job of spreading anti-Polish bigotry and anti-Polish soundbites into the minds of the millions of people who watched the dumbing down of America show - "All in the Family"

Pollock is better than, "meat head".

I guess you meant "Polack".

Its interesting that you use "Polack" and "meathead" in the same sentence.

The source of both deragatory words aimed at Polish people in the 1970's came from the same anti-Polish Hollywood/TV media source.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

yes the term Polak is derogatory towards a Polish person. we call each other polaks as a joke and its okay but when someone who is not Polish calls us a Polak it is derogatory towards us.

Yes.

Its kind of like the N-word with blacks. They can say it among themselves, but non-blacks can't.

I think the P-word is seen as a negative in the English language because it was used in a negative way against Poles in the English language going back to certain elements of the American media that didn't like Poles.

And why would English speaking people feel a need to use a Polish word (although with a little different emphasis/pronunciation of it) to describe Poles instead of the English word "Pole", when they don't use an Italian language word to describe Italians, a German language word to describe Germans, a Hebrew word to describe Jews, etc?

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

"The Destruction of Trinczerów's Home". It's the story of how Jews suffered in a rural Polish community. A quoted line: The reality can not be argued. You can either live a lie, or accept the truth and face it. The history of the fate of Jewish citizens who died in the midst of his own, we need to know how it ended

LOL

All I ever hear on this forum are Jews and people with anti-Polish biases giving selective accounts (if not exaggerated) of alleged anti-Jewish acts by Poles. They more or less insinuate "Polish anti-semitism" with there remarks about Poles or SELECTIVE accounts of Polish history.

They also ignore anti-Polish behavior of some Jews in Poland, but we will put that aside for now.

In light of this, I would like to ask a question. Let's for arguments sake take the anti-Polish narrative that Poles were mostly anti-semitic towards Jews for most of Poland's history.

In light of that, can somebody please tell me why Jews (who many think are intelligent and resourceful people) did NOT CHOOSE to LEAVE Poland if all these alleged horrible anti-semitic things were happening to Jews in Poland?

Its not like Poles were putting a gun to the head of the Jews and forcing them to STAY in Poland.

If Poles were this anti-semtic to Jews???? WHY IN GODS NAMES did Jews continue to CHOOSE to live in Poland and Jews outside of Poland also continue to CHOOSE to live in Poland for 1000 years???? WHY WHY WHY?

Are Jews insane or stupid?

Are Jews masochists?

Do Jews like countries that are anti-semitic?

This makes absolutely no sense!

OP, I share your experiences. When I was in Poland, I haven't heard nice things said about Jews either.
<!--

Really? That's your interpretation. Because Poles you met don't put Jews on a pedestal which is what you wanted?

Its funny how Jews who love to criticize Poles as being "anti-semitic" come to Poland and find Poles as being "anti-semitic", but Jews who don't love to criticize Poles as being anti-semitic, come to Poland and leave Poland without criticisms of Poles as being "anti-semitic". Gee I wonder why? LOL

So what is the answer? If a given group of people go to a country and accuse the people in that nation of being hostile towards them, WHY in the world would that group of people continue to CHOOSE to live in that nation? Only idiots would continue to CHOOSE to live in a nation that they feel treats them badly. Its common sense for the group of people feeling persecuted in a nation to move to another nation. No?
