This. Hell, we don't even know for sure that he has any idea what the medallion meant. Or that he even chose it himself. Could have been some stylist that picked out his outfit for the day.

It's not like Sterling ... we know what he said. We know that's what he believes. No assumptions need to be made.

When asked if the coaster-sized medallion featuring the group’s symbol, an eight pointed star with the number 7 inside of it, meant anything to him, Jay Z told The New York Post and reporters at the Barclays Center, “A little bit"
Did you not read the article? Could a 44 yr old white business man mount your defense if he "accidentally" wore a huge racist medallion around his neck?

Can you quote which parts of the tape you are referring to?

And no - words don't always tell you what someone believes. Those words often need context.

There's nothing to apologize for. Blacks do not have a history of raping, killing, kidnapping, lynching, torturing, and enslaving white people. And white people still have white privilege to this day. And there are a lot of racist white people. It can't be the minority. Otherwise, things would be a lot different for black people.

Did anyone actually read the article...
the author notes that Jay Z was wearing the medallion to deflect folks from seeing him for what he really is..

a member of the Illuminati.

Jay Z thinks white men are the devil, but he doesn't seem to mind having a racially mixed, white and black, wife. As if that isn't whacky enough, she keeps dying her hair blonde to look like a white girl. Doesn't she like being black?

You lost 95% of the people here as they don't know what you mean and those who think they do will call you a nut and lump you in with conspiracy theorists.

Some of us are awake though I don't think he is Illuminati material. Money alone is meaningless. How much weight can he swing in a room full of members of Skull and Bones? I would guess very little.

Such an angry person you must be.

White privilege?? Nothing more than some garbage made up by a sociology teacher to get a promotion. Unfortunately they count that garbage as "research". That is why Japan, Germany, and even China are ahead of us in many technology fields that require real research. That is why the US will always be behind because we look to the past instead of the future.

The majority of white people are racist?? Did you count them? Did you give them a racism test? If you haven't made such a test up yet, I'm sure a sociology teacher is working on one right now in an attempt to snag a promotion.

How would things be a lot different for black people if we all weren't such racist pigs?

Well, if Jay Z is illuminati, his cover is exquisite..

You're saying that Germans aren't sensitive about living down the evil deeds of their past? Pretty sure they got us beat on the political correctness on sensitivity to those they've wronged.
