    How is it a stereotype if it's true, though?

    When the ? can be flipped to making u seem like the worst group of people because of the fact that you don't own ? , its hard to rationalize with the opposite end of the spectrum.

    Jews are all over entertainment, finance, and government. They white - the west regrets the holocaust and Germany has paid Israel and Jews reparations.

    While I appreciate Jays intention, to be technical - spending habits alone won't get black Americans financial freedom. I think one of the few areas of consequence black Americans have is political power, unfortunately black politics is ass-cheeks right now

    before all the Mel Gibson ? are flood this thread with ? originally posted on ? websites, i would like to note that Madonna's Jewish manager already defended his use of it in the song's context last week:
    I've received a few messages from friends wondering why Jay-Z is putting out anti-semitic lyrics in his new song "The Story Of O.J." ... If you read the lyrics out of context I can understand why people are jumping to that conclusion.. But if you listen to the song in its entirety you will hear that the whole of the song is based on exaggerated stereotypes to make a point.. There are African American stereotypes throughout the song.. The music video directed by @markromanek and Jay is entirely full of exaggerated stereotype imagery of African Americans.. Jewish people do NOT "own all the property in America". Jay knows this.. But hes attempting to use the jewish people in an exaggerated way to showcase a community of people that are thought to have made wise business decisions.. As an example of what is possible and achievable.. Yes, the "rich jew" the "business jew" the "jew that owns the world" is a stereotype which has been repeatedly used with the wrong sentiment.. meant only to harm the Jewish people. Perpetuating the absurdity that jews are taking over the world.. Fact: There are 7.5 billion people in the world.. Only 14 million of them are jews.. Thats 0.2 percent of the worlds population.. In my opinion, Jay is giving the jewish community a compliment.. " Financial freedom" he mentions as being his ONLY hope.. If you had to pick a community as an example of making wise financial decisions achieving financial freedom who would you choose?.. Im not offended by these lyrics.. I hear them the way he inteded them to be heard.. Giving "credit" to a community that supposedly understands what it means to have "credit".. I'm good with that..



    The ADL's prerogative is not to let little things slide. They not really mad tho, this a love tap

    They cut Jay slack by not bringing up all those "Flow tight like I was born Jewish", "Martha Stewart that's far from Jewish" lines from his past..............

    Fraudulent sensitive ass "Jews." I bet they would be more comfortable if he was talking about coke, ? and killing his own people. Props to Jay on that last album.

    i hope no one here thinks jay would say a line like that without a) "clearance" and b) an explanation.

    have you seen the video for the song? or better yet have you heard the words? that might be the record for the most "? " in one song yet. The song is about stereotypes to the point where if anyone is going to be offended by it it should be black people.

    Thats great promo for him, already had Madonna come out caping for him and everything...

    Jay knows what he's doing, his album title is Gematria so we know he's down with the Jewish Banker tyrants... this is scripted news.

    On a semi-tangent it's one thing to talk conscious but what really puts people on alert is when you start talking empowerment. Empowerment is buying black, unity under common goals,etc.
