This is what got Macklemore cancelled. This is what he said word-for-word. Antisemitism? You be the judge.
“A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine. I said, ‘Free Palestine!’ I want those words to be loud and clear, so that people all the way in Gaza to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten about them.“
I have an 11-year-old daughter, her name is Sloan, she’s here tonight. And if any of you guys are parents, then you know that that love that you have for your kids cannot be put into words, right? I want to see her grow up, I want to see her go to school, to fall in love, to figure out meaning, purpose, joy, her existence on this planet. I want it to be the most beautiful possible. And I think that every single human being that walks this earth deserves that exact same feeling. To know safety and peace before they know the sound of violence, to know the sound of laughter on a playground before planes and bombs, for parents to be able to say bye to their kids in the morning and not have to wonder if this is going to be the last time they kiss their child goodbye.“
And if I let that fear I felt on the plane yesterday stop me from speaking my heart in order to keep my own comfort and the audience’s comfort, that is the day I no longer continue to be on stage. So, I say, ‘Free Palestine!’ I say, free America, free Cuba to the Congo to Sudan to Iran, and all the people in America who have to live in fear because of this terrorist organization ICE.”
If a person named Benjamin Mileikowsky (Netanyahu) who grew up in Philadelphia who’s ancestors are from poland can be the prime minister of a made up nation (israel) you can be anybody you wanna be if you just believe.
Sometimes I’m tempted to put up a guy like Doug Eddings for a vote for the Hall of Pretty Good just to watch him get like 3% of the vote and have everyone dunk on him.
Also, if you didn’t like the way Hancel Rincon wears a hat, that’s whatever. But I can assure you the call Eddings blew at the plate in that game, seemingly out of spite, was way more disrespectful to the game than anything somebody could do with their hat.
If you think we’re throwing in the towel cause the Giants season is at the tail end you’re WRONG!!! We’re having fun talking baseball!
