Nicki Minaj is being accused of promoting anti-Semitic images in the lyric video for her new song "Only," a collaboration with Lil Wayne, Drake, and Chris Brown. The Anti-Defamation League and Twitter viewers have called out the "Anaconda" rapper for several moments that draw comparisons to ? .
Nicki is depicted as a dictator figure addressing a sea of soldiers wearing uniforms with red arm patches resembling those worn by members of Adolf ? 's army. The Young Money Records logo has been revamped, positioning the "Y" and "M" to resemble a ? .
The video also prompted a response from the Anti-Defamation League's national director, Abraham H. Foxman, who is a Holocaust survivor. "Nicki Minaj's new video disturbingly evokes Third ? propaganda and constitutes a new low for pop culture's exploitation of ? symbolism," Foxman said in a statement. "The irony should be lost on no one that this video debuted on the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 'night of broken glass,' pogrom that signaled the beginning of the Final Solution and the Holocaust."
Foxman added, "It is troubling that no one among Minaj's group of producers, publicists and managers raised a red flag about the use of such imagery before ushering the video into public release. This video is insensitive to Holocast survivors and a trivialization of the history of that era. The abuse of ? imagery is deeply disturbing and offensive to Jews and all those who can recall the sacrifices Americans and many others had to make as a reslt of ? 's ? juggernaut."
Though the majority of the ? comparisons occur during Nicki's verse, it's hardly the video and song's only shocking moment. Drake is dressed as a Roman Catholic bishop, even donning a mitre headdress. The song unites Drake with his former nemesis Chris Brown, who sings the chorus. And Nicki, Drake, and Lil Wayne use explicit sexual language to dismiss rumors that Nicki has been romantically linked to either of her affiliated rap stars.

brainless, mindless, wannabee white plastic barbie doll ? .

She backed down like a ? . The Jews need to apologize for whats goin on in Gaza.
-
Here we go with these Jews trying to bully people with their money and power now. Why do these mfs act like they're the only people who ever been through ? . You can't monopolize slavery and genocide. Annoying mfs!
-
? the video, that song is ? dreadful
-
Jews are very sensitive about their plight
You can talk about and every thing under the sun except for anything concerning Jews. When you do, you're anti semantic
When Katie Perry mocked Egyptian culture in that one song and we complained, they told us to 'get over it' 'it's just art' 'she has a right as an artist to express herself'
And don't even mention to them that the original Jew were ppl of color...... -

and obviously the heavily stylised dark imagery aka that of a ? propaganda video
-
watched with the sound off and one of my beats playing the background
-
....why don't they go after their fellow ? , Drake, for participating in something so "allegedly" reprehensible?
Also, ? Nicki's ? ass....? folded up quick when the Jews caught feelings but when it came to Malcolm's folks being offended over her "Looking ass ? " cover, she didn't come off as sincere when addressing the issue...
I hope her ass cheeks explodes again during another live performance -
Stupid ?

Man, ? these evil ass Jews. They monopolize off selling a stolen culture.
The holocaust was 12 ? years by their own jewish leader.
Slavery was 400 years by jews, catholics, Europeans, moors and whites.
Moses, Joseph, Saul, David, Solomon are not white at all.
? em, no apologies.

First of all being Jewish is a religion and ethnicity, it's not a race. Second of all those European Jews aren't even real the real Jews. Third of all, millions of jews were not murdered, it's pure exaggeration. -

So where did all the jews goes if the holocaust didn't happen

Jews like white people try to use it to pull the sympathy card for all the ? up ? they did to us.
We have whites claiming that they're native American Seminoles, foh crackers, y'all only did it to reap the native american benefits for the land y'all stole like Jews living on section 8 making 6 figure annual salaries. -
I'd like a Jew to dispute my claims.
I'm off to social lounge. -
