Avi K brings up a good point which is problematic across all racial groups but especially in recent years for the Black community. Many black rap and hip hop artists and songwriters claim its perfectly OK for THEM to use offensive racial slurs (aka “N word” etc) but its entirely racist for Whites and others to use the same term. Its a slippery slope when yidden claim its OK for us to engage in our own forms of borderline humor “within the family” but scream “antisemitism” when similar terminology or visuals are appropriated by those we know have hateful intent.
