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.
Half joking but biracials with white moms seem to act funny when it comes to race related things. Like say dumb shit like "why should race matter, we're all one race" or "too white for the black kids, too black for the white kids " or, like drake, freely say the n word without being in community with Black people. Or logic saying dumb shit like "I come from the slave and the master".
