I remember Don Adams being interviewed years ago, and he told of how he tried to do some of the insult-style stand-up and nearly got himself killed for it. dude, the guy was Polish. he threatened to pee in his own corn flakes. You die!

My favorite saying though comes from the little old Polish women working on the production line. Ask them a question and they would answer back; "how come by it"? I finally figured out what they meant....................................................why? So yes, there is a reason for Polish jokes. I like the Italian ones better---you get to say "minga" a lot.

Rob's House Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 For whatever the causes, and whoever is to blame, the situation people in poverty find themselves in isn't one that others can lift them out of, but one individuals have to pull themselves out of. All we as a society can realistically do is provide the opportunity. At this point I would say the opportunities are there and the greatest barriers to those opportunities are cultural and/or personal. I've learned first hand in helping people in these situations that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. There are a lot of influential voices (many of which are glorified by predominantly white liberal media organizations) whose primary message is to make excuses for those who won't drink. It helps their political candidates, but it doesn't help the kid who rejects opportunity because he prefers the more glamorous thug life, or because he's been convinced that opportunity doesn't exist for him.

He had a great story about the time he told a Polish joke on TV in the 60s. You know what happened when he did? He got threatened, followed, and harassed by the Polish Defense League (making up the name, I forget the actual group) who, in this comedian's words, made the other activist civil right's groups pale in comparison. To this day, this guy won't make a polish joke on TV because of his experience with the Polish Defense League. It's a nice story you can tell yourself though that the only reason Poles got through their hardships by keeping their mouth closed and working together and that if only the black community would do the same they'd be okay. Unfortunately it's not reality. It's laughably ignorant of history. Expand Why revive this thread? Well, it's just an accident. I wanted to say something about the conviction of the Memphis cops. I searched for "Memphis." I found this. It has nothing to do with Memphis, but it shows a rational/misnamed "Deranged" Rhino. It shows where we were in the BT (Before Trump) era. It reveals a former, non-crazy world in which there could be rational discussions. That world actually existed not so long ago. Will we ever get back there? Trump is the most damaging politician in the last 50 years.
