The Faces of American Power...

Interesting to note that none of the Jewish people in OP's chart are highlighted in yellow as minorities.

And yet Ted Cruz gets to be a minority.

Sorry but Jews are just white folks with a different religion.

Actually, Jews are an ethnoreligious group.

If you highlighted all of the Jews on that info graphic, more than half of it would be yellow.

If you highlighted all of the Jews on that info graphic, more than half of it would be yellow.

So you're saying that when you compile a list of:

1. The leaders of the largest American business entities (not sure how the chart picked those)
2. POTUS and his cabinet
3. Ivy League presidents
4. All 100 US senators
5. Every Hollywood studio executive on that chart (not sure how the chart picked those)
6. The top twenty people on Billboard's Power 100 list
7. The mayors of the USA's twenty most populous cities
8. Twenty of the most influential people in publishing (not sure how the chart picked those)
9. The top producers and executives at major TV networks (not sure how the chart picked those)
10. The top figures in news media (not sure how the chart picked those)
11. Every US Supreme Court Justice
12. Every governor of every state in the USA
13. The USA's top military officers and advisors
14. Every owner in the NFL, NBA, and MLB

.....over 50 percent of people on that list would be Jewish? Not merely overrepresented as a proportion of the Jewish population, but over 50 percent?

I'm throwing the bullshyt flag. I'm willing to bet you don't even know who most of the people in OP are, let alone whether they are Jewish.

1) 40% of US Billionaires are Jewish. List has many businessmen.

2) Lew, Pritzker

3) Not sure here, have never looked. Don't know how to verify.

4) 10 US Senators

5) Seriously?


6) Grainge, Iovine, Rapino, Azoff, Fogel, Morris, Bandier. Didn't even check after the first 10. List is here and you can tell there are a lot of Jewish surnames: Billboard's 2016 Power 100 List Revealed | Billboard

7) 3: Garcetti (LA), Rahm (Chicago), Adler (Austin)

8) Note sure about this

9) . Again, are you serious? Get me a list of the TV and Movie exes and studio heads, and we can go one by one

10) Don't know the names on the list. I'm guessing 30-45% are Jewish

11) Ginsburg, Kagan, Breyer

12) Markell

13) None here

14)

There are only three Jewish players in the NBA, and no Jewish head coaches. Yet nearly half the principal owners of NBA teams are Jewish, as are the league’s current commissioner and its immediate past commissioner.

No other major pro league in the United States has such a high proportion of Jewish owners. The NFL comes closest: Roughly a third of that league’s owners are Jewish. Just a handful of pro baseball and hockey owners are Jews.

Why Are So Many Pro Basketball Owners Jewish (Like Donald Sterling)?



50% may have been too large of an estimate on my part. Probably 1/3 would have been more grounded. Can you get a list of the TV/Movie execs, Studio heads, and head of publishing? We can research that together.


The question is, why do you and other Jews get so upset when people point out that you guys are overly represented in important positions in our society? You're 2% of the American population.

I'm not upset that Jews are overly represented in important positions. I'm upset that you pulled a number out of your ass and suggested that Jews literally controlled over half of the most important roles in American government, business, entertainment, and news media. Now, why would you immediately jump to that number? Could it be that you have internalized certain stereotypes about Jews?

And the fact that you responded to some of the positions on that list with a Beli smiley confirms my suspicions.

There's really no need for me to go down the list of major film or TV studious because you've already backtracked and said, "well maybe it's more like one third." And even if the number is less than one-third, you'll move the goalposts again and say, "Well, they're still overrepresented, so I've proved my point."

And as far as "the question" being why we get upset, no, that was NOT the question. The question was why Jews were completely excluded from the chart in the OP. A question you have still refused to clearly answer apart from, "Over half the list would be yellow." And you've already backtracked from that.

It may be near 50%. More than a third for sure. Help me track down those names and I can verify for you.

I don't have stereotype about Jews. You have abnormal representation in key positions of the ruling class and powerful private positions. This is fact.

Jews are 2% of the US population. White Christians are ~60% of the population yet Jews are nearly on par with them in these numbers, and vastly outnumber them in certain fields.

I'm wondering how come Latinos and Blacks are so severely under represented yet you're in here acting like you are part of some disenfranchised minority group when the truth is the total opposite.

White Christians are actually 46% of the population. Bro, why are you telling me to compile the names? You're the one pulled "over 50%" out of thin air. It's on you to prove that number. So why don't you compile the names and you get back to me on what "key positions of the ruling class" Jews have a true majority of, which explicit parameters on how we're defining "key positions of the ruling class."

And if you'll notice, I correctly predicted exactly how you would backtrack.. You went from "It's over 50 percent" to "I overstated, maybe it's more like one-third" to "well it may 50 percent and I'm pretty sure it's at least one third, but you should go do the research on my behalf."

Just admit that you don't actually know the extent to which Jews occupy positions, apart from a vague notion that they are overrepresented to some extent.

White people have mis-named themselves all these years. They're pink. Those pictures look like a bunch of Fred Flintstone vitamins.

Hmmm

 

[superunknown23]

what do you think about the idea of a black majority state? do you think it would be viable... which state would you think would be best for such a thing?

Sounds like a nice idea, but you already know that white folks would make sure that it turns into a giant version of Detroit.
Blacks moving to a huge state with a low population and lots of natural resources would be better (North Dakota or Wyoming would be perfect, too bad it's so damn cold)... or our own country altogether.

I need a flash card sized printout of each category to promptly shut down any and every argument that white people are Losing their power

I need a flash card sized printout of each category to promptly shut down any and every argument that white people are Losing their power

Any time I have this argument with an in-denial White person their inability to acknowledge reality blows my mind.

The best argument I've heard (still a cop-out) is "Those are the powerful white people, but all the normal white people are screwed over." As if the normal Black and Brown people aren't screwed over far worse.
