Son-of-a-Weizen Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Where is the anonymous little jerk when I need him/her? He's laying in the weeds waiting for you to post this article so that he can strike. Israeli security forces black performer to dance Alvin Ailey troupe member allegedly singled out because of Muslim name updated 2:38 p.m. ET, Tues., Sept. 9, 2008 JERUSALEM - A performer with the famed Alvin Ailey dance troupe on Tuesday said he was twice forced to perform steps for Israeli airport security officers to prove his identity before he was permitted to enter the country. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26623540 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 that's a coincidence - I, too, have Jewish relatives - and of course there are my twin cousins the strippers, Candy and Randy Cohen - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Israeli security forces black performer to dance Alvin Ailey troupe member allegedly singled out because of Muslim name updated 2:38 p.m. ET, Tues., Sept. 9, 2008 JERUSALEM - A performer with the famed Alvin Ailey dance troupe on Tuesday said he was twice forced to perform steps for Israeli airport security officers to prove his identity before he was permitted to enter the country. Perhaps they thought he said he was a member of the Dance Theater of Hamas. Of course, they could simply be dance fans wanting a free performance. As a Jew.....oh, that one-drop rule may only apply to black ancestry. Sorry, I am just so confused now, and Allen hasn't been any help.

AllenLowe Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had a similar problem to that dancer once - I was crossing the Israeli border but I was going into Egypt; they thought I might be Jewish so they said to me, "do that Jewish thing you do. Be charming; be funny." ****** *****adapted from a Lenny Bruce routine about Jews building the Pyramids: "They built the whole thing than they looked at it and said "veh! we forgot the windows!"

helen fong Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 so just because one's great great aunt or whatever is jewish, one cannot be anti-semitic? that would be a bullshit thing to say coming from a moronic idiot child and you are not a moron or an idiot or a child. and you know that is bullshit. that does not mean you are an anti-semite but you are garbage for throwing this out there in a mocking way. you insult the intelligence of everyone on this board. you are also garbage for your treatment of blind blake. he does not have a right to be offended if he uses a screen name? this is the internet. everyone uses a screen name. he is a troll because he was offended by comments you made which could be construed as offensive to someone sensitive? would it matter if you knew his name? if it was william blake or timmy jackson or helen fongman? does it matter? you would not know of him, i am sure, and his feelings on your comments are equally valid regardless. and just because people know who you are and you have written some liner notes does not give you the right to take a bogusly more valid position with blind blake. (in my opinion). this is the final straw and i am done on this board. this is ridiculous. and good work figuring out that if i am a baron i am probably not an asian woman. and to the people in the birthday thread who were questioning whether i should be banned for having multiple names (concurrently and not simultaneously, by the way). how bored are you guys? why even enter the freaking thread? jesus christ. go polish a knife collection. these are simply my opinions but i have been outraged and disgusted by the actions of the last few days. goodbye.
