On A Jerusalem Street, A Racist Encounter With Haredim

"I remember my wife, who's Asian-American, was walking down a street in Jerusalem, where we lived at the time. And an ultra-Orthodox couple walked up to her and said, excuse me, do you speak English? And she said, yes, I do. And they said, are you available to clean my house on Tuesdays and Thursdays?…"

National Public Radio’s Eric Westervelt told the following story during an interview he conducted with African-American poet Claudia Rankine:

"I remember my wife, who's Asian-American, was walking down a street in Jerusalem, where we lived at the time. And an ultra-Orthodox couple walked up to her and said, excuse me, do you speak English? And she said, yes, I do. And they said, are you available to clean my house on Tuesdays and Thursdays? And my wife, you know, of course kind of lost it and was angry. And I think to this day, when I bring that up, even though it was years ago, she still says, you know, the nerve. And it can be hard to move on."

Wow digging up shit from years ago, way to go fat boy

[Metzizah b'pagan]

She should have answered "I was just going to ask your husband the same thing, if he could come over and scrub my toilets every other day".

[Miami rocks]

Please let's have some news worth reporting.
My parents taught me if you have nothing worthy to say don't say anything .

Some weight loss tips shmaray please would be appreciated though

[Rebitzman]

Um.......the recording is dated this morning at about 9:30. How new would you like your news to be?

[JACK]

Shmaryah,
Another slow day in the basement,is this the best chareidi bashing you can come up with?,an obviously stupid and insensitive racist individual who insulted an Asian woman by asking her if she is available to clean her home.
Scotty,if you are looking for individual Jewish racist's,why must you travel all the way to Jerusalem, don't you have plenty of these characters right here in your own basement?
just a few samples,
Chareidim are dirty and smell,
frum Jews should be sterilized,and their children taken away.
Being frum is a mental disease,and they should be forcefully institutionalized,etc,etc,
a small sample of the racist gems you kind find here in your basement.
Shmaryah,never heard you protest these ugly and antisemitic racist comments,
is it only when a anonymous frum woman in Jerusalem makes a racist remark that you get all bent out of shape?
Scotty ,never heard you protest

[Shmarya Rosenberg]

JACK –

As many, many people have noted, you’re an idiot. The fact is, I do protest when people act that way and have even banned some people for it.

Moron.

[jimmy]

Pathetic
This freak brown- noses everywhere, to get dirt on Chareidim, than uses these "anecdotes" to color all Chareidim with the same brush.
Insane

[joel]

Isnt israel in asia? What do you mean by asian women. From what country is she from.

[jancsibacsi]

joel--Di shoyte go and learn toyreh so you will be able to understand whats written,oh i forgot you are the one who learns toyreh all day,dont you know the internet is forbidden to you goylem.

[the uncola]

I doubt this story really happened as told.

[gree]

janci don't you have a cleaning lady?

[JACK]

=======================================
No,Jancsi has a master named Shmaryah to whom he is very loyal,and all he does all day is kiss his tuches and lick his boots

[WoolSilkCotton; I must be seen to be believed]

The frumma don't do their own cleaning.
And the only thing they launder is money.

So how is Stark doing in that dumpster? Still smoldering? Anybody know?

[adams]

it is a trait tho in many chareidim, not all for sure but this is not surprising.

In EY, people are in general more chutzpadik, as a general rule.

I can't say this is the norm though.

[Joseph]

Racism is very common in Israeli society, both secular and religous. Just reference the experiences of sefardi, mizrachi and ethiopian jews.

[Reese]

Israelis in general have no filter over their mouths. Whatever garbage they are thinking about you they will say to your face. When you call them on it, they are defensive, like how dare you question their insulting remarks.

[Garnel Ironheart]

Happened years ago. A single comment. And she can't move on? She's got problems.

[jake]

Filipinos are Asian.
They do they do the majority of housekeeping in Israel as well as him he with care. Nothing bigoted about it. Just yellow journalism.

[Malka]

That's racist?!

[H]

JACK has soiled himself again.
If you're going to criticise, at least be original and interesting?
Your posts are the same old regurgitated crap...the sign of a feeble and limited intellect.
Get back to dancing for dimes, you drunken old tramp

[Ms Watts]

Ok ,guys ! Spanking in order . I think janci is first . Lets go ! no hesitating . I just disciplined my neighbors friend ,'Sam the Baker' for mouthing off. He got 50 swats with my paddle(he couldnt take more) .he will be getting 75 more tomorrow night !!

[H]

@ Ms Watts

Do you ever use Tsitzis for the spanking, or are tefillin straps more satisfying?

I find the paddle a bit....goyish

I'd also like to ask the length of your sheital, and whether you wear those really sexy thick black tights??

[jimmy]

As Scott degenerates into a full flung (ongoing) episode, the Marmoresher Ferd continues to his tuches lecking.
Where are Scotts friends when he needs them most.
(Maybe the cholent on shabbes in Scotts basement had to many mushrooms?)

[Ms Watts]

my florist's teenage delivery boy was here. lets not get into what he said ,but he was a bit shocked when i told him 'to drop his pants & bend over the desk' for me please ! at first he was a bit hesitant ,but he learnt fast that orders must be obeyed . I told him ,it wont be too bad . I used my leather strap . he wont be bad again !!!

[S M L]

…..the level of discourse here is circling the drain as house officers used to say ….

[jancsibacsi]

jimmyboy--Di marmoresher ferd in your own words i told you a dozen times that i am not from marmorosh get that through your thick stupid skull,by the way only a lowlife tziganer writes the way you do here ,shamrya doesnt need my defending him he is very capable of defending himself.

[Jack and Garnel are Shady]

Hey, Jack and Garnel. Can you fix some books for me? You're Jews, right?

Jimmy,
you are plagiarizing,you are using my copyrighted lines.LOL,you will be hearing from my attorney very soon.
hey,J.BARRON ATTORNEY AT LAW,i can use your services

[flatearth]

"So how is Stark doing in that dumpster? Still smoldering? Anybody know?"

They emptied the dumpster to make room for Lamm. Bring your own gasoline.

[I-fuck-super-models]

"Filipinos are Asian.

Wrong!
Filipino get visa only as care givers not as domestic helper. If an Israeli will use one of those worker as domestic he will get into a lot of troubles.

I know a case on New York where an Ultra-orthodox woman asked a Filipino nurse in the hospital if she knows someone who can work as a maid.

However, the story does not ring right , after, all who will take stranger from the street to clean his house ?

In Israel the police sometimes stop Asian looking people and ask for ID, they do the same to Sephardi Jews who look Arabs.

[jake]

Super.models

Ever hear of anyone working for cash in their spare time?

I had a Filipina work for four hours a week cleaning my home in Hashmomaim about 10 years ago.

Shmaryah,doesn't this post just make you proud,doesn't it bring a smile to your face,
isn't spending your life holed up in that basement
worth while just for this one post.
And then you wonder why someone would have the audacity to call this blog of yours a Nazi sewer.

[WoolSilkCotton; I must be seen to be believed]

Jack, since you are frum, how many children's penises did you suck today?
If you and your fellow frumma assume that all Asians must be cleaning people, then why can't I assume that all frumma suck penises?
As your friend Garnel said at 1:40AM above, why can't you just get over it and move on? Why do you frumma get so upset when we assume all of you suck dick? Just get over it and move on, right?

Regarding Stark, the fact is that he made his own bed, and in his case, that bed was in the flaming dumpster. Why can't you just get over that fact and move on? Why are you so bothered? Just take Garnel's advice.

[flatearth]

Jack - Stark and Lamm are corrupt pieces of shit that where / are only in it for the money. Same as Cuomo, Silver, Christopher St Lawrence. Great religious pios men.

[Ms Watts]

Ok,my desk is empty now. Who's going over it now ?

[flatearth]

Of course you never heard Sammy Boy protest. He gets paid to spread lies and hate and he has his mother.
