chutzpah





6:09

This is the chutzpah of a fry Jew to talk about Beethoven like this and the innocent gentile listens attentively. 





More. another fry Jew talks disrespectfully to a legendary film critic.

Roger Ebert gave a negative review of Mel Brooks's "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" (1995). One day, when Mel Brooks ran into Ebert, he said, "Listen, you, I made 21 movies. I’m very talented. I’ll live in history. I have a body of work. You only have a body.” Roger Ebert was saddened by the encounter as he was a big supporter of Mel Brooks' works from his debut. Ebert later wrote, "I was surprised he didn’t realize himself that 'Dracula: Dead and Loving It' (1995) just didn’t work. Yes, Brooks has put together a body of work and yes, a lot of it has made me laugh, but I would not be doing him a favor if I did not tell the truth."

In fact, Ebert has been very generous with Brooks who has made a few good films (Producers, Young Frankestein) and many terrible ones. 

slave bible

 Did you know there was a slave bible? They didn't just censor books to protect slavery. They censored the BIBLE.

It exists. You can see it: the "Slave Bible," printed in 1807 for use among enslaved people in the British Caribbean, with about 90% of the Old Testament and half of the New Testament REMOVED. What was cut? Exodus — the enslaved Israelites freed from bondage. Scriptures like "There is neither slave nor free... all are one," were all gone. Every verse where God sides with the captive was gone. What was kept? "Servants, obey your masters." Somebody sat down, went through the scriptures of their own faith line by line, and deleted God's opinion of slavery, then handed the remainder to the enslaved as the complete word of God. The Slave Bible is only one example of a much larger history of suppression, violence, and injustice. 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For documents up to 150 cases that were buried, ignored, or never received justice



no excuses


Drew Brees believes he would not have made the hall of fame if it weren't for a film session in 2003 where Marty Schottenheimer told him to stop making excuses.

“I’ll never forget a film session in 2003. I was coming off a tough game. As we watched the tape together, Coach asked me the question…”

“‘Hey, why didn’t you throw to this receiver?’ ‘He was wide open.’ My response was… ‘I couldn’t see him.’ The tape paused. There was a moment of silence. Coach glared at me and said… It’s your job to see.’”

“You reach a point in your career when you stop making excuses. It’s usually a moment or an event where you flip a switch. Or make a very conscious decision. And it becomes part of your being. Coach was right.”

“And never again would those words or thoughts come out of my mouth. I would need to find a way to play the game a little bit different. Even if it was in a way that had not been done before.”
