The gossip gods at TMZ have reported that old meshug Jackie Mason referred to President Obama as a "schfartzer" during a standup performance last Thursday, and that multiple members in the audience were appalled.
I’m not sure why all the commotion. Mason says the word "schfartzer" about as often and casually as I spout off the phrase tushy-shtupp. For example, in an unpublished excerpt of an interview I did with him for our Politics issue he told me:
"For me, [gun control] is a black and white issue. You have to be a complete moron to disarm yourself. Why is a crook going to hold up a beauty parlor? Because they don’t have guns there. You ever see any schfartzer mugger hold up a police station? Someone is more likely to attack you if you’re disarmed. People are much more likely to punch a guy who looks like Woody Allen than Mike Tyson."
So don’t all shit your hats at once, people. I think the President of the United States can take the heat from this octogenarian. After all, Obama is already well on his way to turning the country around. Mason couldn’t even keep the Caddyshack franchise afloat.
hahaha that’s gold.. why was that unpublisihed? :p
btw, when someone like JM uses “schvartze”, we can only assume it’s a term of endearment, and not along the same lines of a white supremacist using the n-word.. fubada fubada
Damn, Fube, didn’t realize you keep “schfartze” on Google Alerts. :P
In all the Mason/Obama coverage, it’s never been mentioned that this is a total repeat of a drama from 20 years ago when Mason called then NY Mayor David Dinkins “a fancy schvartze with a mustache.”
I actually had to google this word to find out what it meant, and am now in my default mode of righteous indignation.
Using the word n*gger and couching it in Yiddish doesn’t make it any less offensive, sounds exactly along the same lines of a white supre
Sonny goy, you can’t have an argument if you’ve never heard the word used in any context before.. “looking it up online” does not auto-magically make you versed… having said that, there is a clear world of difference between someone referring to a black
Wait, “Heeb” is a derogatory word?
What have I done with the last 7 years of my life???
hey .. maybe we need a magazine called SCHVARTZE.
The difference, Lobster, as you well know, is that Heeb is written by (and, arguably, for) Jews…Jackie Mason isn’t black…Courtney Love isn’t a Jew…my argument stands. Using a single instance of old world language, to refer to a person in a derogato
Honestly? You’re offended by something as lighthearted as “goy” yet you post on a website that has featured, say, a cat purportedly smeared with feces? Ok :p ..
The real debate lies in Jackie Mason’s *intentions*. In the context he used it, was it r
jOshy : correction: only to Fyvush Finkel is it truly derogatory :p
all the rest of us have a sense of humor..
..well most.. :p
Hey, lobstr, I’ve heard the word used in context, pretty much all of my life, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used without being accompanied by a look of disgust. I’ve heard the apologist bullshit before, but you and I both know (if you really are fa
Well said, Jed *claps politely*
It is, of course, a slur…Lobster is simply trying to play the “I can’t be racist because I’m Jewish” card…whilst at the same time laying his racial prejudices bare for all to see. Game, set, match *air kisses*
Oh, puckey… nice way to avoid my points and sum it up as a win for yourself — but the fact that you didn’t even *know* what the word *was* until you had to freakin’ *Google* it is grounds for instant disqualification and concession, i.e., you handed yo
puck lighten up it’s just a silly word. Yeah, my grandparents say it, but we all know it means nothing and is harmless. As a matter of fact my black friend thinks it’s hilarious. Words are words, but its the intentions behind them that carry the hate.
Here’s the real schfartz attack:
