I too have had more than enough of these videos. Each time they get put out people post them with enthusiasm but I'm noticing that they are always being posted as a means of saying, "see WE really are oppressed" "See THEY really are ignorant" True, white people say stupid things. So do Jews, So do black people. I have yet to meet someone who really never says the wrong thing. And yes it can be hurtful and annoying. So what are our options. Making fun of people for ignorance is not really one that I can get behind. I'm with both of you, let's get rid of this trend which allows us to enjoy our own superiority while putting other down.

Additionally, the "Sh** Christians say to Jews" implies that it would be impossible to be Black and Jewish. Which is just a clear indication of the limits of the understanding and knowledge of the people who made the video.

To my rabbi and Jewish friends, stop sending this around please. If you are feeling hurt or maligned by others, blame it on the individual and their ignorance not on the group that they come from.
