ChaimAmalek: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving?
ChaimAmalek: And for what are you the most thankful this year?
YourMoralLeader: depends on if i get invites, none this year
ChaimAmalek: Why not?
ChaimAmalek: Because of unpopularity, or because you did not make the effort to get them?
YourMoralLeader: both
ChaimAmalek: This is my second worst
YourMoralLeader: i’m gonna use prosper.com to borrow money to become a licensed Alexander Technique therapist
ChaimAmalek: prosper.com?
ChaimAmalek: It is especially hard to borrow money these days
ChaimAmalek: You are subsubsubprime
ChaimAmalek: I made a disturbing obersvation this morning
ChaimAmalek: I attended the Macy’s Parade. Whenever I go to Macy’s, it seems that 90% of their salespeople are black.
ChaimAmalek: But looking at the faces of the people manning the balloons today, it seems that not even one in a hundred was black
ChaimAmalek: Ditto the crowds.
ChaimAmalek: I know it is no Juneteenth, but is Thanksgiving now just the White Man’s holiday?
ChaimAmalek: The crowds I can understand, but the balloon handlers?
ChaimAmalek: It is of a piece with Obama donating just $150 in old clothes to charity in the year before he began his race for the presidency
ChaimAmalek: The Negro does not have much of a sense of community
ChaimAmalek: This is part of the curse of diversity
ChaimAmalek: What do you think are the odds of that Jewish Chabad couple getting out of that place alive?
ChaimAmalek: in mumbai
ChaimAmalek: Only report I have heard on it is that a maid escaped with their 2 yo son, whose pants were soaked in blood.
ChaimAmalek: But that was pretty preliminary
ChaimAmalek: And remember – Islam is the religion of peace
ChaimAmalek: You know, had you not abandoned the kehilla that in a sense respected you – the porners – you’d have had tons of invites this Thanksgiving
ChaimAmalek: People among whom you’d easily rank in the top ten percent in terms of education
ChaimAmalek: Yet you abandoned them for a stubborn stiff-necked alien people who want nothing to do with you
