    Her listed paternal grandparents are wrong, but interestingly, her real grandparents have the exact same ethnic background.

      Anti-semitism is a deadly disease. Please stop thinking because you are behind a computer screen this is not a problem in society.

        You are aware they deleted the comments I responded to?

      • MichaelWHat says:

        What am I paranoid about? what was the comment about if you know everything? why was it deleted if it wasn’t anti semitic? why did the user have a picture of a Jewish person with a crooked nose as his avatar using stereotypes? please answer all these questions if you stand by what you said.

        • MichaelWHat says:

          The statement was implying I was being oversensitive and paranoid? Did you read the two comments. If they were anti-semitic how many I those two things?

        • MichaelWHat says:

          sorry meant to write “how *am I those two things”

          @Passingtime85, says the hypocrite who wanted Neil Tennant’s post deleted? Tom Brady page quote about Neil Tennant “I really wish you were banned.” Go work on yourself before condoning anti-semitism.

          Listen you aren’t the one I was mad at so I apologize for being hostile with you. You are right I can’t change people on the internet but I am glad to have this dialogue with you. I don’t want anyone punished or not able to get a job for what they write on the internet but the original comment I saw was disturbing and yes I hope to change some people’s minds with my disapproval of their racism. You are a good guy and although we don’t agree completely I want to say I think you’re right.
