So out of curiosity, which of the owners are Jewish according to your research?
I think you are capable of looking that up.
Didn't you just attack me for knowing this?
What did I say that you perceive as an attack? And I am capable of course, but sounds like you already did the work of looking up about a hundred Wikipedia pages, so mind sharing the details?
In some scenarios they can say pretty clearly actually. Kanye saying he was going to wake up and go “death con” 3 on Jewish people is obviously anti-Semitic. That’s not like what Chappelle was saying.

Did you read the actual tweet, guy? I know what the real term is, I used quotes to show what Ye said.
Does barstool sports count as news these days? Notable gay friendly outlet.
It's pretty obvious Chappelle has always nailed stuff on race but has pretty much always been offensive to women & the gay/trans community. You can't just write everything off as a joke so there's no accountability. He knows what he's doing. He's going after vulnerable populations for cheap laughs.
I found his stuff funny Saturday night and he certainly has a better pulse on middle America than a lot of politicians out there. But some of his material is outdated in an evolving world. It's on him if he wants to listen/learn/change but so far he mostly just doubles down & expresses anger over the way people react to some of what he says. That's a choice instead of thinking about why people are reacting a certain way.
Apart from whether I'm offended and whether I want to be deprived of Dave Chapelle's voice, just tell me whether I am wrong to think that it is anti-semitic to say, as he did, that Hollywood is run by the Jews.
A lot of Jewish people are in power in Hollywood. That's a fact. Is pointing that out anti-semitic? I don't think so. But it gets dicey real quick when you start talking about "The jews". I mean most businesses are normally run by white people or Christians. If you start talking about "The whites" or "The christians" you probably aren't doing so for a good reason. A better example might be blacks and crime. Blacks commit crimes at a higher rate than whites. Ok fact. But when you start talking "blacks" or "the blacks" you are being racist and denying them individuality.
But let's don't act like Jews dont' control Hollywood. In 2008, a Jewish guy wrote a column in the LA times. He was upset Jews weren't admitting they ran Hollywood.
When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
His intent is obvious. Saying something while acknowledging we are not allowed to say it. That's the bit
The fact that Carmine the anti-Semite interpreted the non anti-Semitic comedy as anti-Semitic is probably the best argument anyone would have for it being problematic.
Now there is a well argued statement. No details, not a single fact. But it does say anti-semitic three times in one sentence.

I don't disagree with you at all. People fail to acknowledge that blaming the people in power for their lack of success in Hollywood is often antisemitic.
If most of the studio heads and vice-chairs are Jewish, what of it? Only one president of the United States has been anything other than a white male. There have been only two Catholics, the rest Protestants. All of the vice presidents, except Kamala Harris, have been white males as well, and there's only been one Catholic vice president. I don't hear any of you talking about the conspiracy theory behind white protestant men controlling the United States of America.

Here is your non-attack:
"Nothing wrong with saying that over 50% of NBA owners have Jewish heritage. ( Did you really click thru to all the owners to verify?). Saying "the Jews" followed by anything has a very strong correlation with believing in crazy conspiracy theories."
I of course did not say the Jews but you need to pretend I did so you can call me a crazy conspiracy theory. And then imply there is something wrong with my knowing that over 1/2 the NBA teams have a Jewish owner. A if it takes huge crazy effort to know that.
Dave Chapelle: "the rules, if [you see a group and] they're black it's a gang, if they're Italian, it's a mob, if they're Jewish, it's a coincidence, and you should never speak about it."
"I've been to Hollywood. I don't want you to get mad at me. I'm just telling you what I saw. I have been to Hollywood. It's a lot of Jews. Like a lot. [long pause] But that doesn't mean anything. You know what I mean? [Ferguson comparison] I can see if you had some kind of issues. You might go out to Hollywood and you might start connecting some kind of lines and you can maybe adopt some kind of illusion that the Jews run show business. It's not a crazy thing to think. But it's a crazy thing to say out loud."
“You can maybe adopt some kind of illusion that the Jews run show business”
You’re clearly misinterpreting this.

Look at where the money in politics comes from.
That's where the power lies.
You think Biden runs things?
R U pretending that Hollywood is not run by people who happen to be Jewish?

For the sake of this discussion I'll accept your info about these studio heads being Jewish? And then what? Here's where this can go downhill. These people, who are Jewish, work for their respective studios. There is nothing that binds them, other than they're of Jewish backgrounds of diverse and varying degrees. They don't have secret meetings in "Jew World." They don't make decisions for their studios for the betterment of Jews or Israel or AIPAC, etc. Their decisions are made solely for the betterment of their respective companies. They probably differ from one another in many ways, politically, religiously, socially, etc.
I have no problem with anyone saying that Jews have figured prominently in Hollywood since just after its beginnings until the present because it's true. But it's what some people do with that information that can be troubling. If they take that info to tie it into a historical canard that Jews run the show and are all connected to each other in a conspiracy masterminded somewhere then yeah, that's antisemitism. It's like saying there's a group of Jews who meet every Saturday night in lower Manhattan after shabbat ends and while playing pinochle they conspire to get their scheming hands on every aspect of the U.S. government and economy. Sadly, there are still many people who think that this is how the world really operates.

Jewish supremacism exposed.
Jews have all this power because they are better than non Jews.
