      Just a reminder AIPAC Shakur sounds good but is rather racist and disrespects the Shakur name dramatically.

          It’s pretty racist, given the only connection to Tupac would be his race. Absolutely not a single other detail is the same between the two. Jeffries doesn’t even claim to have been poor or from ‘the hood’ or anything that might make a plausible excuse to use the nickname.

            What are you talking about? The connection is AIPAC sounds like Tupac. It’s literally nothing to do with race.

            AI(PAC) Tu(pac).

            Race is certainly a secondary factor, however the term was coined by a black man. If you think a black man calling another black man a nickname based on a third black man is racist then you should think calling Stephen Miller ‘Pee-wee Himmler’ is equally racist.

            I don’t, personally.

              Yeah, black people can be racist to other black people, have you heard of Clarence Thomas or ever heard Jeffries speak at any point?

              It doesn’t stop anything.
