What the fuck did Kanye say, I still don't know what he said.
I'm thinking he said Jews run everything. They don't run everything,
but they have a lot of influence in this country.
Why don't they ever talk about what they are doing to the palestinians.
He said he was going to go Defcon 3 ( actually was death con 3 after seeing an article with his post) on Jews. While I doubt he meant any physical harm, that's a little more than just Jews have influence in the US.
You have to keep in mind what Jewish people were persecuted for in the past. Controlling other people through money, their influence and being greedy were used as reasons to kill them. If anyone says anything in that realm about them as a community it is antisemitic. Even something like Jews are good at saving money, may be taken as offensive to them and they aren't likely to see it as a compliment. While most people would view being good at saving as positive, Jews clearly see it as a stereotype likely to be used by bigots.
I'm positive other cultures couldn't understand why black people were offended and believed that H&M having a black boy in a hoodie that said “Coolest monkey in the jungle.” was racist. Not understanding the context of something or it's history doesn't mean black people should just get over it.
It's the same for Kanye and his shit with the white lives matter shirt except he knew better and just didn't care. He prioritized money and influence over other black people.
My only issue with this is nothing of this level or any level happened when Kanye was disrespecting black people. Not only was he punished for his actions it happened overnight when Jews were disrespected.
