Pink also sucks now?

When the "stopantisemitism" organisation wrote an article about macklemore pink posted it on insta and simply said "awful" or something. a week or so later she provided a more detailed stance which was kinda mixed. something like "everyone hating on me. I'm a jew. Violence is bad. hamas is bad."

She made specific allegations that Macklemore brought out a costume designed to resemble a Jewish stereotype (black hat, beard, prominent nose) and in doing so implied that Jews had responsibility for Gaza. Was she lying or distorting things?

It was 12 years ago. He wore a disguise on stage that kinda looked like a Jewish caricature. Bad costume choice, but not antisemitism IMO.

It was an antisemitic caricature. He is in the good side of the conflict, but we don't need any of this stuff.

Is there more context that obviously identifies it as a Jewish caricature?

I'm pretty sure this guy tried to sell me a moped in Macedonia.

--edit--

Here's Macklemore's response to the accusation:

He explained that he randomly chose the elements of the outfit so that he could disguise himself and move freely around during the secret show.

"I acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature," he wrote.

"I am here to say that it was absolutely not my intention and unfortunately at the time I did not foresee the costume to be viewed in such regard."

sure it might hurt some feelings

how many kids did that costume bomb?

[-] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Doing this shit is collaborating with the Zionists. They love shielding behind that antizionism is antisemitism.

The shit going on there doesn't excuse racism/antisemitism

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago

yep but if you’re up an arms over a costume while kids by the thousands are dying you need to reevaluate your priorities
