>Out of curiosity Jos, if a person from say, Alabama (casting no aspersions on Albamans), said Black people are lazy, shiftless and have a criminal mentality; would you say then that this person is not a racist, he is merely repeating what he has been taught?

Interesting that you choose black people for your example rather than, say, whites. But in any case your example is so completely out of the ball park I hardly know how to reply. His statement that Jews control the media is not in itself a defamatory remark whereas your example clearly is. If Jews do control the world media then I would say thats quite an accomplishment that Jewish people can be proud of. Whether it is true or not is debatable of course.


>Merely repeating what one has been taught does not excuse inflammatory, and yes, racist remarks.

I didnt say he was taught it. He explained that he had read it and offered to state the source.


>The world media is owned by Jews, Jewish media is biased, Jews this, Jews that.

Well it wasnt any "Jews this, Jews that" posturing. Please stick with the specific statement which concerned who controls the world media. It's really a simple statement and one which Alex deftly countered with obvious examples like CNN and Rupert Murdoch.


>Sorry, but that does sound racist to me, and putting it all down to, "well, that's what he's been taught" just doesn't make it for me.

I'm glad for you but no one said it was what he had been taught. You really need to argue what was written and not all the other stuff.


>I have been ignoring it until now because you simply cannot change a mind so mired in it's own 'rightness' by telling him to read things that he is sure are just more Jewish propaganda. Jews own the media, right?

It takes, of course, two to tango. As much you are apparently not able to change his mind (because of his "rightness") he is apparently not able to change yours either (because ...?).
