Maybe Pink can fill in. As long as there aren't any Palestinians or anti-Zionists in the audience. Otherwise she might feel uncomfortable.

    As a Gen-xer, we don’t want her. She’s got big time boomer energy

    The sooner you realize there are boomers in every generation, the sooner you accept that age isn't the old issue leading people to be complete cunts.

    Idk man the boomers were an especially awful generation.

    Their parents called them “the me generation”, before the baby boom became a term, because they were so selfish.

    Then turned around and raised gen-x through Gen Z and called them lazy …

    The boomers were a product of their time and we got fucked by them hard.

    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."

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