Bigotry, Racism, Anti-Jew Hate And The Gangster Rap Blame Game

 On top of all the other things already blamed on Jews, some are now trying to blame gangster rap on Jews. Do rappers that use derogatory words have guns to their heads by Jews forcing them to say these terrible things? Are they helpless victims controlled by evil Jews? This concept of a Jew being behind everything evil is an ancient anti-Semitic trope. Grown men and women are responsible for their own actions. Blaming others, including blaming Jews, instead of taking responsibility for our own actions, keeps hate, bigotry and evil alive. If someone was harmed by an evil man that happens to be Jewish, that is a reflection of that evil man, not Jews. Demonizing all Jews based on the actions or fantasized actions of a few is as old as anti-Semitism, or Jew hatred itself. We are responsible for our own actions in life. We are not responsible for the bad things that other grown men and women choose to do when we have no knowledge or ability to stop what they are doing.. Ascribing some kind of collective responsibility and blame by virtue of race, religion or ethnicity, in which the whole group is blamed for the real or imagined actions of the few, is an ancient form of hatred and bigotry. If your own brother, sister, or other family member, went out tomorrow and started killing people without your knowledge or ability to stop it, would that make you responsible because of the family blood connection? Or because you might both be of the same race, religion or ethnicity? 

It would not.

Having  a scapegoat, having someone to blame for all the evils or perceived evils and wrongs in the world, is a human weakness, and an ancient, still going strong, form of evil.

 For every evil, racist Jew, there were and are far more Jews that do everything they can to fight racism, evil and bigotry. The bigot wants to ignore all of that. They only want a demonized Jew.
