KingRedd 3,139 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 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. May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.

Morphine Prince 105,794 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 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. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_American_businesspeople Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's wrong to generalize the group, especially with the historical context of that statemen.9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
