Minority groups who have been historically marginalized/oppressed/murdered have the right to decide what is offensive and don’t need to talk it out with everyone else and get approval to be angry. If you don’t get why they are angry maybe it’s because you don’t have the same life lens. I don’t get it but that’s my problem and they are not obligated to explain to my satisfaction.

But here’s what rubs me. “All about the Benjamins” is entirely an American slang about money based on the person on the bill. Equating that phrase in this way:

All about the Benjamins ==> Benjamin Netanyahu ==> Jews and Money

is an entirely weird construct that seems to have risen because one person said it.
