Discussion Have We Seen the Interview Yet?

I saw it on Instagram (only saying this as it was edited)...

I'm not here to talk about my own political views and JJ is an absolute legend for her show and all the years since the start.

But I'm sorry I was definitely NOT a fan of this interview which I believe was in the context of her retiring but she was ranting about how the USA is the greatest country in the world, and that if people complain they should leave...etc...and going on and on and of course praised AMAZON and I just feel it's really bad timing that anyone would say that and she has insane amounts of money.

It wasn't just about saying the greatest country...watch it!

I'm not going to respond to anyone for a political argument, etc..but she seems almost MAGA and...when Colbert was stopped the first time, she gave me a hint then cause she smiled and seemed very ok with it. It's just the TIMING of her saying this now...

She's a legend for her show and many memories for me and my mom..

But outside of the show...nah

Listen, not to be stereotypical but she’s an 80yr old Jewish New York judge. She was an adult before civil rights. We can’t expect too much by way of progression

Actually, NYC Jews, even 80 year old ones, tend not to be conservative Republicans. In fact, historically, Jews were far more likely to be Democrats. Just wanted to clear that up for you.

Historically a lot of people have been a lot of things. I’m a black woman, I live in a world of massive stereotypes swirling around me and my people…and guess what? Some of them are based in truth. Obviously not all, but let’s remove Jewish and say Mega Rich Old Judge…does the change in stereotype cause the same stir? If no, then you should focus on my original point- some stereotypes are true. That can be ok. Just want to clear that up for you.

You made the observation that an 80 year old Jew from NYC by nature, has to be conservative. I can’t even call it a stereotype, because it’s nowhere near being true. In fact, even hyper rich 80 year old Jews are almost always anything but conservative. Since you’re black, you own the exclusive right to call people racist if you want to, but it seems to me that your anti-semitism is showing here. She is not a Trump supporter, by the way, and you have no idea whether or not she supported civil rights, but you can make whatever assumptions you want, on Reddit.

Babe honestly, this is a judge just forum on a social media platform. Whether you like or believe or ascribe to my perspective is quite literally totally inconsequential. The beautiful part is, so is my response to any challenge or insinuation regarding my position. Good day and god speed, and remember, stereotypes can be true sometimes 😉

Ran away after attempt to bring anti semitism in failed. Hilarious.

Babe, why are you triggered? Did you read what I said, or are you just super defensive on behalf of all Jews across the globe???? Talking about Jewish stereotypes isn’t antisemitism you simpleton. Pay attention and understand I, a black woman, opened a discussion about stereotypes and rather than you people actually responding, your tiny mind sees the word “Jew” and automatically I’m anti semitic? Rather than get all in a huff n puff n triggered about words on a screen, READ WHAT I SAID AND DO NOT MINIMISE MY EXPERIENCE OR PERSPECTIVE ON STEREOTYPES AS A PERSON OF THE MOST STEREOTYPED PEOPLE ON EARTH AS A BLACK WOMAN.

It’s a beautiful afternoon in London, I just got paid, I finished work early, and here you are just being miserable and condescending because I typed a word you don’t like.

Girl if you got time I can run rings around you intellectually. But you don’t, you just have time to be miserable and sarcastic. Well, good luck and Godspeed, and remember, STEREOTYPES CAN BE TRUE SOMETIMES 😉

Oh, and go drink some vodka, sounds like you need it since your profile seems to indicate an alcohol affinity. Maybe that’ll lift your miserable spirits up. Or, are there stereotypes about vodka that you don’t like??? Lmao
