@benroyce@mastodon.social While the citation seems coherent to me and fair, German Wikipedia has some more on #Macklemore
They cite several experts that claim he uses antisemitic images and serves stereotypes. For example a picture of a child from the Warsaw ghetto next to one of a child in Dschenin.
The commissioner for antisemitism of the German government considers his lyrics and the images used clearly antisemitic.
So I'm not sure, at best this is grey, but not black and white.

@Bundesligatrainer@det.social Disagree If a person makes a statement as firmly and as clearly as Macklemore has made, this other controversy obviously does not apply anymore, or perhaps never applied and it was a misunderstanding The wikipedia article says that the neutrality of the section on antisemitism is disputed. Having read the section I agree the accusations are without solid foundation and with little consideration for honest mistakes. It's my opinion that wikipedia section should be cleaned up
