Lebron James had to apologize for quoting "jewish money" lyrics

[VARNELL HILL]

I never got why people are offended by a “good” stereotype. Like I wish I would let a chick of another ethnicity tell me “I bet you’re packing since you’re black” and I get offended

What about if she said "i bet you have a 40 inch vertical"?

I guess the problem is someone can just as easily turn on you and come up with a negative stereotype when they have a feud with you. I've seen it time and time again.

This thread is a mess

The thing is that they’re kind of proud of it behind closed doors. The industry I work in has a ton of Jews at the top positions, but are a minority at the lower levels. They’ll usually say that their motivation to make it to the top is money, not even power or anything else. Most of them are pretty cool though, so not bashing on them as people.

 

[Barbados Slim]

Wait does the line he quoted even have to do with the jewish stereotype? I thought it was simply about making clean money hence kosher...

idk why he asked that

Maybe this is kinda why they were upset. Everything is not owned by Jews. Stop it.

Which companies aren't owned by Jews?

Which NBA, NFL and MLB teams aren't owned by Jews?

Google Amazon what else? Lol. We can go for days.. Facebook IG keep it going....

 

[SupremeBeing5]

Here is a list of companies owned by Jewish people.

List includes Baskin Robbins, Ben and Jerrys, BK, McD, Starmarket, Snapple, Pepsi., hundreds more

It has alot to do with it. People that excuse it and say BS like "this didn't happen". Ain't no black person lying about that. Just like when white folks thought (some still do) that black people was lying about police brutality. It's a ignorant, head in the clouds mindset.

My man... this isn't in the same realm as an average so called black man claiming to have been the victim of racism. Often times, there's evidence, witnesses, or even video footage, and it doesn't matter.

And for the record, I never said it didn't happen, because there's no evidence to prove whether it did or didn't happen, which is why I stated that it was alleged.

Not to mention the things they bankroll behind the scenes. MLK Jr's Svengali behind the scenes was Stanley Levison. I might be wrong, but isn't the NAACP still headed by a caucasian jew?

1. Historically, Racial minorities that specialize in money and finance are frequently the targets of genocide.
2. White supremacy in america is rooted in conspiracy about Jews using their money and control over finance to de-stabilize america.

So it makes sense Jews would be sensitive about the whole "Jewish money" thing.

Agreed, but when a person evaluates if a statement is racist the check list starts off as
1. Does it contain a racial slur?
2. Does it have to do with physical appearance?
3. Does it ridicule a deficiency?

How about, is it a mistepresentation of a person based on ethnicity, religion, culture, etc?

Does it reinforce a stereotype that has often been used as the pretext for ethnic cleansing?

it's not a big deal that lebron didn't realize what he was doing but, i wouldn't have either in the past but a dumber idea would be to ignore jewish peoples concerns after the fact with the "you're too sensitive" stuff.

I'd take Jewish money over fried chicken and black on black crime any day.

serious question
do jewish people predominately own the media
and entertainment industry

 

[oidreez]

How is the line offensive though? Because of the stereotype of jews getting money? I guess it's like the Asians being smart stereotype. Even though it's positive people don't like to hear it.

It's funny that no one will hold the actual artist to this standard.

Yea those positive stereotypes that are still stereotypes

 

[deleted]

But it wouldn't fly if someone tried to rationalize that stereotype by saying "Fried chicken is delicious! what's wrong with liking fried chicken?" because there's an understanding that the stereotype has a more insidious meaning below the surface level

Don't worry @dcallamerican I wouldn't assume your jumper is wet just cuz you're black.

I know you some **** on the court.

 

[nflowshoe]

Crazy thing is that was probably the safest/cleanest line on the album to quote to let people know he was listening to it

He should have played it safe and quoted J Cole verse

Yeah of course. I'm being serious.

Any random popular company you know just randomly google the Owner and you'll see he's Jewish.

 

[Chopper]

The fact this is even a thing is ridiculous.

Some oppressed minorities are able to hide in plain site.
Can't hide blackness.
