Rapper Macklamore under fire for performing in jew face

LOL

Macklemore denies he was mocking Jewish stereotypes after coming under fire for tour costume deemed anti-Semitic
The rapper caused quite a stir with some in the Jewish community when he performed in disguise during a show Friday. 'First you trick people into thinking you're a rapper, now you trick them into thinking you're Jewish?' actor Seth Rogen tweeted in disgust. Macklemore released a statement Monday defending himself, saying 'a "Jewish stereotype" never crossed my mind.'

The ADL is crapping all over the place. I really don't know what to make of this but I hope this guy is trolling on purpose

Another funny thing about all of this is that left-leaning Jews are now confused as how one of their own, a fellow anti-racist, pro-homosexualist, and in general a multicultralist could be so blantly, and unapolgetically "anti-semitic."

They just don't know how to handly this, so now they have started referring to him as the 9/11 truth rapper because he has made milktoast references to Bush and Cheney knocking down the Twin Towers. You don't receive Grammys and appear on the VMA awards for saying that Jewish terrorists bombed the World Trade Center towersl

Macklemore's 'White Privilege II' is so self-flagellating that it hurts

Is it possible for a rapper to second-guess himself out of existence?

Macklemore has a new single, "White Privilege II," a contemporary sequel of sorts to his song "White Privilege." And if you ever thought that what hip-hop needed most in 2016 was nine minutes of a self-flagellating Jezebel commenter vortex from the guy who beat Kendrick for a rap Grammy, oh how Macklemore has delivered.

The last time Macklemore used a single to insert himself into a civil rights conversation, it was gay marriage with "Same Love," where he played wedding bandleader for couples getting hitched at the Grammys. After that followed plenty of garment-rending about why a straight white guy would need to write and champion a rap song about this topic. But perhaps it helped move the cultural needle at a time when nationwide gay marriage was a less certain outcome.

But "White Privilege II" is an even more fundamentally Macklemore-ian achievement: a song about how he doesn't feel like he has the right to speak in today's Black Lives Matter movement, manifested as nine minutes of him rapping about this subject.
