The original artist never intended it to be anti-Semitic, but more of a social commentary on socioeconomic inequalities.

I generally like Cube, but he's not someone I defer to and the same goes for BLM. While I appreciate their passion and believe their intentions to be mostly well-meaning, as with anyone, there's a great deal of room for growth.

FYI - that is not the photo Gina tweeted, but it is the source on which her image was based. One of the mantras I live by is that it's not difficult for me to respect the cultural sensibilities of others. This isn't just a default for me, but a preference. Regardless of the intentions, I find the source material and Gina's bootleg to be obviously offensive. Whomever created that mural needs a friend willing to pull their ear and say, "uhh bruh, you may want to review some of the tropes in your imagery." But that's my opinion, others (the artist in question especially) might disagree.
