Manny Ramirez Loves Jews, Money

With the tax deadline just hours away, Manny Ramirez spent his Tuesday afternoon chatting it up with some of his Jewish fans ... wonder what they talked about?

Manny Ramirez: Click to watch
Kidding! Just jokes people -- but on his way out of The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles, baseball's 45 million dollar man was talkin' money with us ... we think.

Most of the conversation was in Spanish, and the only thing our guy could muster up was something about the "baño."

4. Nice comments about us Jewish people. Really, really nice. Hmm, I wonder if you'd make a joke like that about other types of people. Haven't seen those yet. But you don't mind the Jewish jokes. Hmmm.

7. Artie is right, Manny is generous. We were with him on opening day after the game, and he couldnt have been more generous with his time and money.

8. Yo, Harvey is not a Torah Jew. Jazzbo is right. Jews are made fun of and it starts out as a joke, but then people continue with anti semitic cracks. I get called a Zionist and I am a Christian, that defends Jews and other ethnic slurs. I know they meant no harm, but if you said cracks about other groups, you would not hear the end of it.

10. Manny is nothing more than a crack dealing, homeboy thug with money and he's probably an illegal to boot! Did he free his 3,000 brothers and sisters from poverty yet?

11. What a retarted headline....

12. So let me get this right, Reb Levin: It's ok for you as a Jew to make "positive" racial remarks, but Brad Garrett being goaded into similar remarks brand him as a racist? Harvey, you're a hypocritical butt.

13. Manny is nothing but another manufactured "star" from the baseball "factories" of the D.R. slums...where they take the kids money, their pride, everything for the dream and escape to America. Dirty Agents, Roids everywhere, no child labor laws and Bud Selig continues to look the other way.

Most of these guys would rather be cock fighting anyway, its a national sport there---and most of them, Aramis, Soriano, Sosa, used their baseball money to fund the cock fighting on the Island---this one included.

Dont fall for the "just being Manny" routine...its a stereotypical lazy image of a Latino who only works, or in his case, runs hard, when he feels like it---not when its needed, or others are depending on him.

If he's so generous, why isnt he resucing the people that are connected to the D.R., in Haiti, in one of the worlds poorest countries?

Dont fall for it--from any of them...they arent like us. And Selig should find a new source for baseball prospects, like Black youth from the USA.

14. Your headline is more RACIST then anything Brad did COME ON TMZ!!!!

15. While the Jew comment was clearly intended as a joke, too many people still believe this stereotype for it to be acceptable as a joke. This type of humor just perpetuates the negative image of whatever group the joke is targeting. I would like to see an apology from TMZ.
