Highlights: Dr. Bernice King is no stranger to watching people on social media use her father’s legacy to score a point. But this time, she’d clearly had enough of it.
On Wednesday, the daughter of the late-civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called out comedian Amy Schumer for implying that he would have supported Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip.
Why is Amy Schumer so involved in all of this? As far as I can tell she has no horse in this race and so shouldn’t be speaking about it
Or, why would anyone actually care what Amy Schumer says? She’s not exactly a leading authority on anything.
I need to know what Ja Rule thinks.
He said, “It’s MUUURDAAA. Also, while Hamas is a terrorist organization and their attack should absolutely be condemned, Israel’s response is disproportionate and they’ve all but admitted to war crimes, so that’s not great.”
Wow that’s a surprisingly intelligent response from the artist who said “That’s not fraud. That’s uh, false advertising.” While on video when talking about about the Fyre Festival, in which he helped defraud investors and customers.
Then again, he was also never charged with fraud and has since dodged huge lawsuits for restitution, so maybe he isn’t that stupid… That’s a scary thought.
Edit: This is satire guys.
Wait shit, I can’t tell if you’re joking. In case you’re not, Ja hasn’t actually commented on Israel/Palestine that I know of. Much like the Lorax speaks for the trees, I speak for Ja Rule.
In that case I would like to speak with THE LORAX. I know he’s more like MF DOOM. All caps when you spell the man’s name.
Or if you could put me in touch with whoever speaks for Levi’s jeans. I have a bone to pick.
“Where’s Ja!?!!?”
“God I hate Billy McFarland.”
Thanks I was looking for this comment!
If I needed to ask someone on how to write bad jokes, I wouldn’t ask anyone else

She’s Jewish and (unfortunately) famous, so she feels like she needs to have a say.
She made a post on Twitter, which millions of people do every day. She wasn’t standing on a soap box in the Town Square. This headline is a major exaggeration of what she said, even.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. All this discussion about her’s is just a chance to start up the Amy Schumer hate train again.
