i wonder what the relationship btw the anti-semitic myth of horns and the "normal medieval Western depiction of Moses" as being horned is

i took a class in college w/ benjamin blech! he told all kinds of stories of visiting the pope and touring the vatican archives

have u ever been to rome? the moses is unbelievable in person

max, Thursday, 25 October 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link

he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

adding "... with sexy results!" to this seems redundant

so is the image of the horned devil originally an anti-semitic thing?

this rabbi says the "horns" thing may originally not have had negative connotations, which may explain why michaelangelo portrayed such a noble-looking horned moses:

it kind of makes sense -- there are several traditions with horned gods, e.g.

Like to think I laid the groundwork for that one.

Yes. Excellent.

I have to admit I have heard weirdo jewish stereotypes from midwesterners, but mostly from people who were very rural or from Missouri. Like, living in a Kansas City suburb (lol Overland Park).

d-_-b (mh), Thursday, 25 October 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link

Actually I think Overland Park might be on the Kansas side, now that I think about it? I don't really know (or care)

d-_-b (mh), Thursday, 25 October 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link

I have never, ever heard the horns thing IRL.

And I was about to go LOL at "magic" being a negative stereotype of Jews until I looked it up.

pplains, Thursday, 25 October 2012 14:59 (eleven years ago) link

first google result for "magic jew" is vice :(

thats p interesting about the midwest and outlandish jewish stereotypes. i live in the south and we have stereotypes about p much everyone else, but none about jewish people, really. maybe we dont know they exist

(♥___♥) (roxymuzak), Thursday, 25 October 2012 16:49 (eleven years ago) link

that was the general thing down south for me. took me a long time for people to ask to see the horns and by then it was more of a joke.

let's have sex and then throw pottery (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 25 October 2012 16:50 (eleven years ago) link

have never heard of that as a stereotype of jewish ppl at all except in in eons-ago history! totally amazed by it. the only jewish stereotypes i knew about growing up in the south were from SNL, i think. there was only one jewish boy at my school that i knew of and he literally draped himself in an israeli flag so he was probably just the only one i knew of

(♥___♥) (roxymuzak), Thursday, 25 October 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link

did that even make sense? he was just really out about it so i was made aware.

(♥___♥) (roxymuzak), Thursday, 25 October 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

I think the only real stereotype about Jews in the south is "killed Jesus."

C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Thursday, 25 October 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link

more along the lines of "God's people" in my experience

*triumphant sauce horns* (crüt), Thursday, 25 October 2012 17:00 (eleven years ago) link

i dont think thats as prevalent as people think. thats more of a catholic remnant than like a baptist thing ime? sorry lets get back to lols i forgot what thread i was on

xpost crut otm

(♥___♥) (roxymuzak), Thursday, 25 October 2012 17:00 (eleven years ago) link

little from column "killed jesus", little from column "god's people"
mostly people were much more prejudicial about the fact that my folks were yankees, as were most jews i met in the south, that's original sin for you

we prefer "Drake's people" now

Most of the Jewish stereotypes I learned were from "Totally Tasteless Jokes Pt. VI" and the like. And those I had to ask my mom about.

KC-area dude I mentioned said something about being "jewed out of five dollars" and I socked him in the guy immediately. I'm not really violent, it was just like an instant reaction. He had no idea he'd said something controversial, and we had to explain what he said and that, no, that isn't just a phrase

I watched "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" on netflix (doc about his live tour) and he is talking to a young rural Canadian who laments that he left his ID at home and might get "jewed out" of his ticket as a result. Conan calls him out and the young man corrects himself and says "gypped out" instead.

sigh

x-p actually, same dude was attempting to make his way in radio years later and got fired off a St. Cloud, Minnesota radio station for badgering a local candidate about whether the community health clinic would have anything to do with abortions.

he went on to write the film Juno

fun fact: He's had a wikipedia entry a few times, and a couple friends and I have marked it for deletion due to him not being notable every time
