Why do Jews call blacks 'schvartze'?
 

Does it mean 'homey' or 'African friend' in Jewish?

It means black, I assume.

Mineistaken is correct ... it means "black"

STFU :2 cents:

It is Yiddish for black.

.

If you really are dumb enough to believe that it just means "black" then the next time you are in a room with Jews and blacks yell out "schvartza!" and watch the Jews in the room gasp.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I have dated lots of jewish girls and spent a summer in Israel so I think I know a thing or two about the names they call people.

oy vey this thread!

Lol, should I put whitewall or schvartza-wall tires on my truck?

i'd go with the hahahahahaha tires

exactly.

It is a racist term used by Jews to describe Africans. As a white anglo saxon wagon burning atheist I am highly offended. jk I dont give a fuck

It's a special word cuckold jews use for the men they want to have fuck their wives and daughters.

It is related to "Schwarze" in german what means exactelly the same. It not really racistic to say it but also not political correct.

jews are so integrated in this industry it is rather remarkable why do you bring this shit up mutt come on you can do better than this i know you can.

They do not deserve any special treatment like you can't point out anything 'jew' and it's some sort of taboo. It's word in their language or slang being used apparently. I am sure there are plenty of Christians, Asians, among any number of other races, religions, and nationalities within this industry. You're welcome to ask about them all the same without a riot or outrage.

That being said, he was asking a simple question that required a simple answer. I do not believe he meant it with any sort of racial or other negative connotation, at least how I read it.

As a jew I can tell you that schwartze is in the old yiddish langauge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_language) for black people :)

Information from an actual Jew:

Of course when used when speaking in English it could be considered offensive.

By the way many many languages uses word "negro" and they do not mean 0% offense.

(sh-var-tza) Stems from the Yiddish word schvartz, or black. It is not derogatory in nature, but usually ends up being used in not the nicest of ways.

It comes from Germanic, from which Yiddish (meaning Judisch, i.e. the dialect of the Jews) is descended, and in German, Schwarz means black. And of course "Negro" means black also. Those are all just words for black. Calling a black person black is only bad in America and only in some circumstances.

Meanwhile, everyone refers to everyone else as Yellow, White, Red, etc. Velasquez has "Brown Power" on his neck. I guess he doesn't mean light skinned blacks or indians. Their skin is the wrong brown.

Whatever.

Sheeny Jews From Yiddish "shaine" or German "schon" meaning "beautiful".

Yep, it is a term for black. In my experience it is slightly racist by the tone in which it is used, when and where. (and of course the slightly distasteful look on their faces when saying it)

:2 cents:

i'm cool with being called whatever just pay a nigga. but try calling any carribean, african, south american, or otherwise obviously brown/black person black to their face and they're ready to whip out their machete. some of these coons are black as tarmac asphalt and still take offense to being called a black person. so many negative connotations worldwide so there you have it. hahahahahahas just have a bad rep and most people who look like me (or darker) want to deassociate from that rep. you can really have a lot of fun with this stuff if you pull the right strings

I really didn't know that - shit - I guess I've never had occasion to refer to anyone in the Caribbean as "black". What do you say then?

When I was in Africa recently, a Swahili speaker told me a story about a "Mzungu" (white) and apologized for the quote. I was like, who cares? It isn't really derogatory, and you do stick out. But I'll tell you they have no worries about being called black - they get more pissed off if you miss their tribe. My experience, people have an endless capacity to split themselves up and always seem to be the better one.

Because it means "black". Like Arnold Schwarzenegger :winkwink:

calling somebody black is not offensive or racist !

It's like the word "Gringo". It's meaning is not offensive, but in certain contexts certainly can be.

Point is that those caribean blacks think that they are not of the same race as african blacks, thats why they do not like it. Not because black is bad. So your statement about only America still stands.

I was waiting for the Schwarzenegger reference :upsidedow

Is it slavery that made you a worthless piece of shit?

had a jewish friend tell me jew was pejorative.

and he used it in telling me- "jews find that offensive."

:Oh crap

That's because you aren't foreskinned-deprived - at least not in the Biblical sense. It's like a Black using the N-word. They can and we can't.

i hear ya. he and i were friends too, he knew i wasn't labeling, it's much easier to use *jews* in a sentence than *the jewish people*.

True dat. Only a jew finds offense at being called a jew. :upsidedow

You do not see that very often if ever with a Catholic being offended by being called a Catholic. The exact same can be said for blacks, Chinese, Baptists, Irish, Muslims, whatever. You can reference them for their religion, race, or country of origin and they do not get offended. Many actually appear to wear it like a badge of honor.

It's strange to say the least.

I'm sure they call blacks a lot worse in Israel. They wanted to ship African immigrants to Australia!

That sounds like a nice thing to do - who'd pick Israel over Australia as a place to live.

She's pretty cute - who are those people?

They look happy
