Mackelmore has been making several songs about Palestine and calling attention to the genocide for the last year and a half (maybe more). I remember him from Thrift Shop and Same Love, and then I kinda just forgot about him, then he dropped Hind's Hall 1 + 2, and Fucked Up. The guy is using his platform and influence for good when loads of other mainstream rappers stay silent.

No, please, go ahead.
What kind of people am I?
Controversial in the view of liberals and conservatives.
I disagree, the users on all three have been nothing but supportive and wonderful to me.
The reputation is only positive in my view.
Great video, isn't the first one I've seen about the region, probably won't be the last. I always love how in every one of these type of videos if you go and talk to regular people everyone is pretty nice no matter what country you are in. Kinda just proves the the majority of the world's problems are not the construction of the average person, but a select few individuals who make the world a challenging place to live in.
Anyways, videos like these make me want to live or at the very least visit China so very very badly! I'd need way more time than I have because China is HUGE!
Classic workplace transphobia and ableism. I hope she gets some sort of compensation and whatever form of justice she is looking for. Transphobes ask some of the most insanely invasive questions of trans people. I am regularly shocked by it.
Spy x Family - has a weird vibe that is unsettling tbh, idk how to describe it and the plot seems slow and the relationships superficial
My Hero Academia - it's marvel superheroes (which I also don't like) and some of the powers people are born with just seem like horrific genetic conditions that bring nothing but misery for the individual.

Like one dude has a 
spray bottle for a head. Are they even human anymore? Can this guy even eat food? IDK.
Already been discussed here pretty extensively, but it is a very old photo and he apologized for it. Even the ADL (an insane zionist organization) forgave him. Stop pretending like you actually care about antisemitism.

Rapper Macklemore, who won a Grammy for a song praised for its cultural sensitivity, insists that he wasn’t stereotyping Jews with a costume he wore to a Seattle event Friday.
The hat, big fake nose, black beard and wig were “a random costume” thrown together “so that I could walk around unnoticed and surprise the crowd with a short performance,” the rapper said in an “apology to anybody that I may have offended” released Monday night.
While the Anti-Defamation League said the group would “take him at his word that he did not have any ill intent.”
“Family, friends and fans alike who know me well, know that I’m absolutely not the person described in certain headlines today,” Macklemore said in Monday’s statement. “There is no worse feeling than being misunderstood, especially when people are hurt or offended.”
Macklemore said the misunderstanding happened because he wanted to surprise fans at a show at Seattle’s EMP Museum on Friday night.
“Earlier in the day I thought it would be fun to dress up in a disguise and go incognito to the event, so that I could walk around unnoticed and surprise the crowd with a short performance,” he said.
“I picked up a bunch of fake mustaches and beards and grabbed a leftover wig from our recent trip to Japan,” he said. The only fake nose he could find at a costume store at the last minute was “a big witch nose.”
His only aim was to disguise himself, not to be “any ‘type’ of person,” he said. “I wasn’t attempting to mimic any culture, nor resemble one. A ‘Jewish stereotype’ never crossed my mind.”
Some people who saw him suggested that he looked like former Beatle Ringo Starr or President Abraham Lincoln, he said.
He said it was “surprising and disappointing” that photos of his “disguise were sensationalized leading to the immediate assertion that my costume was anti-Semitic.”
He did, however, “acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature.”
“We take him at his word that he did not have any ill intent and unreservedly accept his apology,” ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said. “We know that Macklemore is someone who has used his platform in the past to stand up and speak out against intolerance and bigotry, particularly homophobia. With that in mind we believe that this matter is little more than ‘a tempest in a teapot’ over an unfortunate choice of wardrobe.”
