50 Cent Hatin' On The Jews
It's always heartwarming when a member of one race makes obvious racial stereotypes about another.Â
In the words of the great Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
Page Six is reporting that rapper 50 Cent made some unsavory comments about Jews on a radio show, in what seems an apparent attempt to deflect from his own troubles. Last month, a member of "Fiddy's" G-Unit crew, Yayo, allegedly assaulted a 14-year-old boy for wearing a t-shirt that offended him. That 14-year-old boy was the "son of music industry rival" Jimmy (Henchmen) Rosemond, who represents former G-Unit rapper, The Game. Page Six's breakdown of the incident:
50 Cent called into "Miss Jones in the Morning" on Hot 97 yesterday and said the 29-year-old Yayo's troubles won't hurt his crew.But then he added, "Worry about the Je-Je-Je-Jew unit. They're the real goon squad. When the lawyers come out, you'll see what it is. I don't pay nobody. I only pay the lawyers." Fitty said neither he nor Yayo had anything to do with the assault.
Do I need to point out the irony of 50 Cent's assumption of all Jews being lawyers? That's like me assuming that all black men who rap are gansters and suffer from a crippling insecurity in their own manhood that they need to beat down kids who wear a rival's t-shirt. That would be a preposterous assumption. Because not all black rappers do that; some drink Cristal and get with hos, some 'ride dirty', some pimp their rides, and some just shoot each other for no apparent reason.Â
See, racial stereotyping is pointless and mean. And really, really stupid.
