You're just being obtuse if you think I should think you are talking about celebrities only.

This entire thread is in reference to a Ms. Rachel quote about celebrities specifically.

Why would the resulting conversation not be about celebrities?

You have to be intentionally misinterpreting everything if you can't see how the responses are all connected to the same original point being discussed.

    I know what the thread is about. When you replied and left out the word celebrity or replaced it with folk, I thought you were changing the subject. I don't think that's unreasonable assumption to make.

    I don't agree that rich white celebrities give less than other celebrities. I think that's just wrong.

    I'd put money on it when it comes to Gaza/Palestine. Especially if we're talking about movies/tv/music where the Jewish representation in positions of power and influence to make and ruin careers is massively out of balance.

    But why would these Jewish people in power ruin white celebrities careers but not black celebrities?

    We're again getting into the difference between raw quantities and percentage here. And looking at raw numbers I think it's pretty safe to say there are more white celebrities overall, and that they represent a larger percentage of celebrity wealth.

    It doesn't need to be specifically targeted if the industries are already unbalanced.
