People will find it offensive because it plays off of a stereotype that has been used as part and parcel of the most vile anti-semitic rhetoric. For instance, if i referred to you as a watermelon slurping porch monkey, you probably wouldn't like it. Of course, accusing someone of eating watermelon or hanging out on a porch are not really deep-cutting, insulting accusations. Yet they touch on a body of stereotypes used to degrade black people and rally racists against them.Just read an article where Lebron James made this statement on social media. Some people were upset and I couldnt figure out why.
"We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher,"
Can any Jewish people tell me why this is offensive?

The intent of that quote is to praise the Jewish ability to make money.
I spoke to a Jewish businessman before and he taught me a few things about money acquisition and attributed it to Jewish financial philosophy. He didnt use the word "cheating" but he did point to controlling their economy via collective cooperation between other Jewish people. I didnt see anything wrong with it.The intent of that quote is to praise the Jewish ability to make money.
It's not a compliment to Jewish business acumen.
The sentiment behind the stereotype that Jews are good at making money is that they are accused of doing so at by cheating non-Jews and controlling the economy.
It's why millions of non-Jews had not problem putting Jews into box cars and shipping them off to the camps.

If you need someone to explain it to you, you are even more of a lost cause than I had previously believed.

I seriously doubt that he told you that Jews are a collective. We are the last people on Earth people would describe as collective. The old joke "Ten Jews, Twenty opinions" isn't far from the truth.
There is no Jewish "financial philosophy" any more than there is a xtian financial philosophy. Jews have historically been in mercantile and financial businesses because they were forbidden to do other kinds of work.
In the past, Jews were forbidden to join occupational guilds, own land outside of a Jewish enclave, or even live outside of strictly controlled ghettos. The word "Ghetto" didn't originate in America. It was the name of the area of Venice, Italy where for hundreds of years, Jews were required to live and work, and an area in which they were locked in after sundown.
I always heard the term "ghetto" came from Poland to describe where the Jews were confined to.I spoke to a Jewish businessman before and he taught me a few things about money acquisition and attributed it to Jewish financial philosophy.

Non-Jews mean something wholly other when they speak of a Jewish collective.
One of the longest lasting anti-Semitic tropes is something called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
In that book, written by agents of the Czarist state in 19th Century Russia, it describes how all Jews around the world are part of a global conspiracy to work together to control the world. They claim this 'Jewish Cabal' is led by secretive Jewish leaders, but all Jews, from Warsaw to Wichita are in on the plot to take over the world.
That is what Anti-Semities mean when they attribute Jewish success to the Jewish collective.
Cooperation between Jews in business, politics, or socially, is no different than between members of any ethnic community. But, as most small ethnic communities learn very quickly, you can't just sell each other things. A successful business must include people from outside the community as well.

I will do that. Always meant to watch Schindlers List. Lebron James didnt get a pass. People are upset about it.Maybe watch Schindler’s List, if anyone needs an education about how Jews were regarded. The way the world is these days, if you are black you get a pass and can say anything you want. If anyone says anything remotely close against the black culture, they are destroyed. That’s an observation, not a criticism. With that being said, successful Jews that are proficient with money would not be offended by his statement. They would laugh, because it’s true. The media, and/or some douchey actors will always run with it, to stir up some [emoji90]. For them, any exposure is good.
