Been following Robert Kirkman's comic history, and the last show was about blacks in comics in general, and Milestone comics in particular. One thing I noticed was they kept saying the comic industry is owned/written by white men, and they kept bringing up Jack Kirby and Stan Lee as examples. One guy even said "These two white men.. Jewish men!"..

I thought "white" referred to "European descent", while ethnically Jewish was something else entirely. In fact, I've even heard it argued it's insulting to call one white, as well as incorrect..

In terms of census and such, how do they define the subject?

Page 46.

94% "net Jewish" people identify as white.


For the purposes of the United States Census, that would mean they report themselves as white which should directly answer your question and we can close the thread.

They can identify as whatever they want!!!

Depends on what's useful to the progressive stack at the time. Are they trying to slam neonazis for antisemitism? Or are they bitching about how privileged people in Israel are?

Jesus was a Jew.

Jesus was a Galilean Semite.

He would look similar to this:

I like that bottom left interpretation of Jesus, which is meant to be a reconstruction of an average man from his time and place. Jesus reminds me of Socrates. Small crazy dude just knocking around, shouting stuff, revealing hypocrisy and generally setting the world to rights before getting executed for being too anti-establishment and forward-thinking. That 'scientific' interpretation of his image definitely suits his personality better.


(Apologies for the OT post)

It depends on who you ask. I'd say yes, while a very small portion of people in this country would be offended if Jews were considered white.

IMO it would be hilarious if Satan was real.

Me too. I like the Christian Mythology and the Lucifer Lore.

All I know is Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows (A Jew) Sang how he imagined because no one was playing them on MTV at the time people coloured him in with a white skin from hearing him on the radio.

You know, I thought that someone would notice
I thought somebody would say something if I was missing
Can't you see me?
Come on, color me in
Come on, color me in
Come on, color
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Give me your blue rain
Give me your black sky
Give me your green eyes
Come on, give me your white skin
Come on, give me your white skin
Come on, give me your white skin

who cares

There's nothing wrong with progressives doing either.

Satan sure doesn't seem to bad compared to God.

Original jews originated in Iraq but most American Jews come from places like Poland or west Russia or something. L

They killed Jesus god damn it. Dude spent 3 days in a cave. Not cool, it didn't even have wifi.

I'm just trying to understand the context, and if the narrative of "white ownership" of comics is true, or a sensationalistic headline to draw in viewers.

Maybe the comics industry really was owned by mostly white people, I don't know. Superman was created by two jewish men, and Kirby and Stan are two legends who happen to be jewish.

And a narrative of jews oppressing blacks simply doesn't exist in social justice discourse (Malcolm X and his rant notwithstanding). On the contrary, whites are known to have oppressed jewish people (W.A.S.P.'s and such.)
