I have no clue what you're talking about. This isn't some "blacks vs Jews" thing.
Kanye, Candice, Kyrie, Chappelle, etc. All recently in the news for being antisemitic and all being black.
I was making a point taken from jokes Chappelle told on SNL that all weren't entirely a joke, about victimhood and who's allowed to say what.
Firstly it's nonsense. Jewish people might have a larger than expected influence, but the idea that they control The media, the government, etc is nonsense.
I never said they did. I just made a general point about anyone in control.

In a world of micro aggressions and triggering, anything and everything can be a bad idea, when it comes to what it could potentially lead to.
Russia stole the election and Trump, the President, is a Russian asset, was also a control related non conspiracy theory apparently, that led to political chaos that remains today, and for nothing in the end. Plenty of people still think those things are definitely true. Does something need to be done about that?
What's wrong with being able to reply and point out its nonsense, as long as you're given the ability to?
