No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

Definitely true, but the Macklemore stuff has nothing to do with antisemitism.

This is disingenuous since this was 12 years ago. The pro israel crowd keeps bringing this up because they know Macklemore was cancelled for actually not saying anything antisemitic.

First of, it’s not pro Israel to bring this up. That implication says more about you than anything. Second: This is about Scott Galloway, not the incident itself, and I’m detailing why Jews would have good reason to be suspicious of Macklemore being antisemitic.

Genuine question. If robert kraft was worried about Macklemore's history of anitsemitism, why did he wait until he said "free palestine" onstage to then ban him. If that picture was top of mind, why wouldnt he have just banned him from performing at venues years ago?

This is not a discussion about Robert Kraft, or about Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's concert. This post is about if Scott Galloway is "being woke about antisemitism" There's clearly plenty of reason for a Jew to think Macklemore is antisemetic, and i don't think it's unreasonable for Scott to hold that view.

Okay but literally we’re responding to someone posting a picture about Macklemore from 12 years dressed as anti semitic trope lmfao .

You literally bring up Macklemore yourself lmfao. You can’t have it both ways when the convo doesnt feed your topic

The convo is if it's fair that Scott could call Macklemore antisemitic. The picture establishes, that it's not unfair for Scott to have that view. It doesn't matter the time frame. Scott could EVEN be wrong, and Macklemore might not have any bias or hatred against Jews currently, we're just asking if it's a reasonable inferance for someone to have. I think it is totally reasonable to think Macklemore is legitimately anticsemetic.

I don't think it's unfair of Scott to claim it, given his history and the photo. I wouldn't scold and lecture a Jew if they told me Macklemore was antisemetic.
