Albert Einstein cracked polish & jew jokes....wow
 

In a new book titled "The myth of religion, volume 2, Albert Einstein"

The author cites many sources in which during the Manhattan project, when Einstein would send information, he'd also send over 3 or 4 good pollock jokes & a couple of jew jokes along with the nuclear information/problem solving equations.

Which is interesting considering he himself was a Jew & many of the scientist on the Manhattan project :1orglaugh

Interesting stuff....apparently Einstein was a self loathing Jew & racially insensitive. :disgust

:banana

your conclusion makes no sense to me

I'm just quoting the author. None of the statements are my own.

Einstein was awesome and this only further proves that he had a great sense of humor.

Maybe he just had a sense of humour.

ever heard of "sense of humor"?

edit: hm gotta read threads more ;)

i think it has nothing to do with that at all. cracking racial jokes was normal, it is normal... anyone who says they never have, or laughed, or thought one without saying is straight up lying.

we just got way too politically correct so from your perspective thats what it looks like, from everyone's at the time, they prolly took it for what it was, a joke, chuckled and moved on.

He also likes practical jokes and was pretty good at pulling them off.

Clever people have the skill to make fun of themself and all kind of pre concepts or people and races..

if you guys are interested in the smartest man that ever lived check out....Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson

He can do it! He's great!

I wasn't posting my opinion i was posting the authors opinion. :2 cents:

political correctness wasn't invented at that time yet

just die already please...

hahaha wow.. people will try anything to make a buck

thank you....I've always been a big Einstein fan/followed all of his work & biographical data

I've got a road trip coming up in august & that sounds like the perfect book on cd to burn with 20 hours of driving :thumbsup

+1:thumbsup
