What Do You Get When a Yiddish Couple Adopts a Nigerian?

by Jeff Davis
Now, this story is just plain bizarre. The New York Daily News reports: “The feds are hunting this Yiddish-speaking Nigerian national named John Star who jumped bail after he was charged in a massive mortgage scam. Now that’s chutzpah. A Yiddish-speaking Nigerian national has jumped bail after being charged in a massive mortgage fraud scheme. Real estate broker John Star went on the lam last month, a week after prosecutors in Brooklyn offered to let him plead guilty in exchange for 15 years in jail. Now the feds are likely to offer nothing – or, as Star might say, bupkis. A bench warrant has been issued. Star was free on a $200,000 bond secured with a home in Mount Vernon, Westchester County. He surrendered his Nigerian passport when he was arrested April 6 and is believed to be in the U.S. ‘Rather than us having to expend valuable resources looking for him, Mr. Star should be a mensch and turn himself in,’ said FBI spokesman James Margolin.”
Most Jews secretly don’t like Blacks except as political allies, but apparently this one Jewish family decided to adopt a “Schwarze” and raise it by Jewish traditions. It’s curious that they would choose a Nigerian. Maybe they were intrigued by all the Nigerians running Internet scams and thought they had something in common. Well it turns out they did.
The article continues “Star, 39, learned Yiddish while growing up in Switzerland with Orthodox Jewish adoptive parents. He moved easily in Orthodox real estate sources and hatched a scheme that bilked lenders of $10 million, officials said. He and his accomplices submitted false loan applications that said properties were being purchased by credit-worthy buyers, authorities charged. Shortly after pocketing the loans, the defendants stopped making payments on the mortgages. Star’s lawyer, Anthony Mamo, declined to comment yesterday.”
There is something uproariously funny about a naturalized Yiddishe Schwarze taking full-blooded members of the Tribe for a ride on a real estate scam. Seems like the Jews didn’t realize just how “Jewish” this adoptee had become.
The occasional White liberal family, which adopts a black male child, has to worry about their pride and joy growing up into a six-foot hulking menace or a thief stealing money out of mom’s purse to buy crack or a sexually aggressive monster attacking any unfortunate female siblings, girls at school or even the adoptive mother.
I guess Jewish families who adopt blacks have to worry about bubbeleh growing up and swindling all the little old ladies down at Hadassah of their life’s savings. There’s something kind of Zen about that.
