More about the parody episode of South Park on Kanye West controversy
Well, we have all known everything about the controversies that happened when West made anti-semantic remarks. That even made the rapper banned on Twitter.
The latest episode of South Park season 26 was connected to one of the tweets of the rapper. In the tweet, the rapper said “On JEWISH PEOPLE….The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jew. Also, you guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda”.
Thus the parody episode of South Park made Cartman say to Tolkien “You know, the stuff that’s come out about how the Jews stole the Black Race’s identity? That the lost tribes of Judah were actually all Africans? You didn’t hear about this? Black people are actually the Jews and people like Kyle have taken that from them?”.
South Park managed to both satirize the Kanye drama and the online discussions around antisemitism and at the same time managed to portray both real jewish fear and the effects of antisemitism. The last line in the show is โlet the Jew run itโ
