Kanye West Says ‘Black People Don’t Have Connections’ Like Jews, Fueling Classic Anti-Semitic Stereotype
¨Mr. West reportedly made the statements during an interview on New York City’s Hip Hop and R&B radio station Power 105.1 FM. The comments came to light after the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz printed them on Friday.
According to reports, Mr. West remarked during the interview: “Man, let me tell you about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can’t make these moves or he’s not executing. That’s because he ain’t got those connections. Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don’t have the same connection as oil people.”
I think that’s still a few steps from what you’re reading of that line implies haha
Like an American neonazi thought is that jewish people entirely control the gov’t, hence don’t trust the gov’t telling u to get a vaccine.. that type of thing
hoffman = Hoth man
I.e. hes saying Dustin is a very cold dude, way too cold in fact, perhaps in need of theraflu

As in the snow planet in star wars
This gonna be the new "And my eyes more red than the devil is"
NBA he a Youngboy
Dustin Hoffman is a great actor
A hall of fame actor one could almost say
Dustin, he a HOF man
I think he just is trying to say “just in, he a off man” but used Dustin Hoffman’s name instead thinking it’s clever I dunno. Bc Kanye don’t give af sorta thing which is theme of the verse. That’s my reach but really how I heard it.

Im not calling ye a neonazi
I think him being an artist with those label contract issues might have played a role in way he might feel that way about "jews having power" etc
alot of trump supporters weren't alt-right but def parroted their talking points and made their job easier
ye def made alot of them feel better about themsekves , he served the same purpose as candace owen's or any other non-white person that publicly supported trump

No.
Kanye's entire verse, even the lines directly before and after the "Dustin" one, is about not putting man before God and only trusting in God, not man
Why tf would he interrupt that to say "Oh btw Dustin Hoffman is a hall of fame actor"
Ok but what does it mean?
Stop posting
Go find God
Come back when youve found God

Nah nah I didn’t say u were calling him that but I’m saying reading into the lines with that tilt…. It feels kinda suspicious LMAOOOOO
I do think the long instrumental outro is meant to be god breathing (ie let the beat breath) so I think that was intentional. I remember seeing a lot of people think a feature or extra verse was missing.
this bar doesn't make any sense in the context of the song
your interpretation makes it even more ridiculous
the bar right after is " don't fall for what they offering no"
it actually sounded kinda anti-semitic in the song
"don't fall for what a hoffman is offering,hoffman being a german jewish name"
would also fall in line with kanye's spiraling in anti-vax trump support
but again it might just be a stupid bar that makes no sense

Ah yes, the classic anti-semitic jab a few lines after one where he professes his love for famous Jew, Jesus Christ. In a song about putting all of your trust in "God the Father", which Jews definitely don't agree with

This is a reach even tho I appreciate the logical leaps.

If this is a real Kanye interview quote, it's truly sad how ignorant he was about Obama in that context
Ye saw y'all decipher "And my eyes more red than the devil is" to the fullest on KTT1 so he took it up a notch and made it more mysterious.

ah yes let's pretend christian nations historically haven't been antisemetic by running with the false narrative that "jews killed their messiah"
let's also pretend jews en masse f*** with christian gospel music and/or the way christians (in this case evangelicals) worship "I know god breathed on this"
