    When will liberals figure out that you don't have to side with paedophiles? Like it's not legally mandated, you could just not do it

        Don’t worry, pedophiles; Israel doesn’t extradite. You can just head over to the colony if you get in trouble.

    I fucking knew this was coming I’ve had this dumbass take bouncing around my head for weeks. They really saying Kendrick calling drake a colonizer and a pedophile is anti semitic! Wild

      They even state Kendrick’s song was #1 and they are just openly going to call everyone in the US who listens to it anti-Semitic? They couldn’t possibly water it down more or do a more egregious boy who cried wolf

    Author is an American Enterprise Institute fellow and has a page of previous Atlantic articles crying about protesters and woke (if you scroll back a little further the crying is about identity politics instead of woke)

    Why would you remember that Drakes mother is Jewish, and not simply that Drake is half Jewish?

    Is this just word count writing? Just a weird ass unnatural way to phrase it, very few celebrities parents are noteworthy enough to be part of the common knowledge around that artist.

      If Drake's mother is jewish, doesn't that just make him Jewish? I thought pretty much every jewish tradition considers it inheritable through the mother rather than through both parents

        Yeah I guess in a religious sense he's just Jewish, but him being mixed is a big part of a lot of the drama going on around him so people usually call him half Jewish, I guess it also makes it clear that his mother is Jewish rather than him having converted.

        Ultimately I just said half Jewish cause that's what I hear people call him.

      Also I can't help but feel like this is the kind of hyperaggressive overreaction that Liberal and Conservative reactionaries alike ascribe to trans people and other minorities.

    As a Jew I don't need a fascist ethnostate to feel belonging. Jerusalem should have been designated a holy city for all but instead its propped up by the brutalization of Palestinians. Colonialism has robbed everything holy from the holy land.

      Kendrick tells Drake not to say the n-word

      In response drake says it even more times

      Most white thing I've ever seen

        Exactly. They love doing the thing people say not to.

        Even "why you rapping like you tryna get the slaves free" is outta pocket.

          What did you expect from a guy that wore black face? He's the most successful culture vulture. Kendrick was 10000% right, he's just a colonizer. I've never heard something so racist in a modern song.

          Hot take but idc: having a white bio parent and a black bio parent still doesn't give you the right to say the n-word.

          He's like that one woman who made the quadr*** "joke"

          Diabolical racism, and in the end only white people laugh/ don't see a problem bc that's the audience for people like him.

          Edit: to clarify, the racism I'm talking about is the blackface and that line you mentioned.

            I have similar critiques about doja cat too but that's another discussion.
