Lady Who Just Lit Olympic Flame Tweeted A Racist Picture Of The Obamas
Source: Gawker
The Olympic opening ceremony just wrapped up, and former Russian figure skater Irina Rodnina was the given the honor of lighting the Olympic flame. Rodnina is one of Russia's most successful figure skaters, and is currently a member of Russia's public chamber. She is also, it seems, pretty racist!
::)
In September 2013, she tweeted out the picture ...blaa blaa blaa
OFFS. :mental: You people are just ****ing crazy. It was in September. Get Over It.

I think, and I might be wrong, the DUmpmonkie is trying to say that Russia is as bad as Germany in the 1930s when it comes to hating Jews.
Of course the Czars were no big fan of the Hebrews.
The term "pogrom" in the meaning of large-scale, targeted, and repeated anti-Jewish rioting, saw its first use in the 19th century, in reference to the anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. The issue of pogroms arose sometime after the Pale of Settlement was created by the Russian government to prevent the Jewish population from spreading over the country unless they would convert to Christian Orthodox.
While the term's etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"),
Notable instances of persecution include the pogroms which preceded the First Crusade in 1096, the expulsion from England in 1290, the massacres of Spanish Jews in 1391, the persecutions of the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion from Spain in 1492, Cossack massacres in Ukraine of 1648–1657, various pogroms in Imperial Russia between 1821 and 1906, the 1894–1906 Dreyfus affair in France, the Holocaust in German-occupied Europe, official Soviet anti-Jewish policies and the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries.
Many authors see the roots of modern antisemitism in both pagan antiquity and early Christianity. Jerome Chanes identifies six stages in the historical development of antisemitism:
1.Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
2.Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
3.Traditional Muslim antisemitism which was – at least in its classical form – nuanced in that Jews were a protected class
4.Political, social and economic antisemitism of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
5.Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism in the 20th century
6.Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the New Antisemitism
The first clear examples of anti-Jewish sentiment can be traced back to Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE. Alexandria was home to the largest Jewish diaspora community in the world at the time and the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, was produced there. Manetho, an Egyptian priest and historian of that era, wrote scathingly of the Jews. His themes are repeated in the works of Chaeremon, Lysimachus, Poseidonius, Apollonius Molon, and in Apion and Tacitus. Agatharchides of Cnidus ridiculed the practices of the Jews and the "absurdity of their Law", making a mocking reference to how Ptolemy Lagus was able to invade Jerusalem in 320 BCE because its inhabitants were observing the Shabbat. One of the earliest anti-Jewish edicts, promulgated by Antiochus IV Epiphanes in about 170–167 BCE, sparked a revolt of the Maccabees in Judea.

It's in the past. What difference does it make?

That was six months ago? To quote a certain person, "At this point what difference does it make?"

Liberals must burn when they see political incorrectness that they cannot punish.

DUmmies, go there, get in their faces and tell them what racists they are. It's your duty as World Citizens.

It's surreal over on the island. The same liberals who cheered the USSR as being the example of what they wanted the USA to become are talking down Russia because Putin makes Dear Leader look like the fool he is. That's gotta hurt for them to turn their backs on the former Soviet state.
