The current discussion we're engaged in has led to some talk about things within my gang of friends. More on that later, but my friend Daniel, a Reform Jew, told me about his clip.

A nice Russian Jewish boy from New York named Israel Iskowitz, aka Eddie Cantor, puts on black face and camps it up in Hollywood's version of the Baths of Caracalla complete with plexiglass and chrome, while patting black slave girls on the ass, flipping his wrists, holding the hem of his tunicle, prancing and dancing while every platinum blonde starlet on the lot gets facials and massages from black maids.

Sheesh! Oy! Talk about stereotypes!!

I bet there wasn't a bottle of peroxide to be had in fifty mile radius!!

Of course, Jon had to ask..."Wonder if they dyed their snatch to match?" Which made Debbie throw her chocolate cupcake at him.
