Donald Sterling TV tirade puts surprise spotlight on Jewish free loan groups | Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jewish free loan societies grew out of the
landsmanschaften, or mutual benefit societies, organized by Jews from Central and Eastern Europe in the 19th century and transported to America when they immigrated.
Drawing on
the biblical admonition not to charge interest to fellow Jews, the interest-free loan societies became a key financial resource for immigrants, providing funds for housing and education, as well as capital for small business expenses such as pushcarts and sewing machines.
“One of the main reasons that Hebrew free loan societies became so popular in the United States is that many immigrant Jews used these as access to capital for business,” said Shelly Tenenbaum, a professor of sociology at Clark University and the author of “A Credit to Their Community: Jewish Loan Societies in the United States.” “Business was a very important vehicle for Jewish immigrant mobility.”
Goyim stay losing.
Cheating nikkas is a commandment from Yahweh. The Bible says so.
Recent economic turbulence also has returned free loan societies to their roots as a last-resort safety net for American Jews and others.
The San Francisco association recently implemented an unemployment loan program. Rachel Grose, an associate director for the Los Angeles group, said that starting with the recession, her organization has seen its applicant pool expand from the poor and working classes to include more middle-class people
The article keeps mentioning 'and others' but doesn't give any statistics or identities to who those 'others' are and how many they are. I personally think they don't exist, or only exist in an 'honorary Jew' capacity. But who knows. Jews who post here at thecoli, can you shed light on this? And do Jews who take advantage of the interest free unemployment loan programs also take advantage of state and federal unemployment insurance?
Jewish free loan associations have inspired other ethnic groups to emulate their model. In San Francisco, the Hebrew Free Loan Association has been working for more than a decade with members of the local black community, including former Mayor Willie Brown, to help establish the African American Interest Free Loan Association.
Why would it take more than a decade (and counting) for this to be set up? Is it intended to be set up; or is it, like the Sterlings many intentionally unfinished 'charitable' projects, never really intended to get off the ground?
Why mention the 'stay losing' African-American version in the first place, but not the more successful different Asian (Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc) versions?
The best line of the article, though, is:
What Sterling was describing — and thrusting rather uncomfortably into the media glare — is a more than century-old communal institution that has helped both Jews and non-Jews with interest-free loans.
His words were not exactly welcome news to the professionals who run these organizations.
“I’m sorry that he mentioned us,” said Cindy Rogoway, executive director of the Hebrew Free Loan Association of San Francisco and vice president of the International Association of Jewish Free Loans. “I just think he’s a disgrace to himself.”
If it's a good thing, why be sorry?
The best (and only) line from the comments is:
Who cares!! We'll outlive all that came before and after all these haters; bigots that destroy themselves by their unrelating hate. All that's left of the ancient Egyptions are their pyramids and all that's left of the Roman Empire is the Vatican.
Jews have the strangest self-image of themselves and those around them. That Khazar has the balls to say Egypt is dead (no, the Egyptians are very much alive, and he should be continually thankful for the past existence of Anwar Sadat), and that the Roman Empire is dead (Italians are still here, and so is the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity itself) -- but honestly believes he's a Semite instead of a Eurasian convert. To say nothing of Israel the state only existing because of the descendents of those two allowing it to be so.
If you make up rules telling you to treat the people around you like shyt, but treat the members of your tribe like gold, then don't be surprised when others call you out. That's not being a hater, that's being real.
I know they are feeling the ether of their mistake of not boycotting after they got ousted from the playoffs by the Thunder. 
Lets face it brehs, Donald maybe sound like he was spewing incoherent statements in the CNN , but he wasn't lying when he said the players are not going to protest. He knew those nikkas are not about that life because they get paid millions to do their jobs.
Why would any male with two balls want to be like these cowards?
