I am usually against SJWs but what he said was such a ****ed up thing to say. It's very offensive. I hope he gets attacked

So he used Jews as a way of saying they own property and have a lot of money and do well? Is that an insult.? I'm not understanding.

I think he meant to say that people are throwing their money away, and then wonder where all their money went. It's still really really touchy, but I don't think it's as bad as people are letting on.

Yeah, I think he is "stereotyping" them as being people who worked hard to get good credit and larger and larger credit lines. In other words, they were smart business people. It's a stereotype, but he is saying they were smart with their choices and their money....not a bad stereotype to have, tbh.

So Jay-z is hitler because he said Jews have money and are successful? I'm not being a smart ass I legit don't understand the negativity. I do think he should've thought it out better, but it doesn't seem like a huge deal. If a white man said " black people have a lot of money and have good voices" in his song I wouldn't be offended.

6 million Jews were killed for statements like Jay Z did. It's about having some empathy instead of digging out hundreds of years old stereotypes

They were killed because a man was insane and had the power to do so. Saying a Jew is wealthy shouldn't be an insult. It's like saying white girls have pretty hair. Why would white people be insulted by that?

Jews are not privileged in the world. There are still parts where these belief of Jews being wealthy is used to kill or expell Jews. 

White people never got expelled for having beautiful hair.

When I heard it I took it as him saying many property owners are Jews because they know how to handle money and he's telling black people to be more financially responsible. 

I took it as him saying that's a GOOD thing. 

I'm pretty sure that's what he meant but people are gonna choose to take it the wrong way. 

Many Jews in America have succeeded so much.

Never should a compliment be seen as an insult. No matter what Jewish people went through. They should be proud of their wealth and success. They should be proud of their accomplishments. Saying that it is bad to view a race as wealthy and successful is ridiculous.

No, it's wrong to generalize the group, especially with the historical context of that statemen.9
