When you’ve been oppressed, as white ppl (Jews included) have done to black ppl for centuries. Complaining about your oppressor is not bigotry. Especially when you as a race struggles mightily financially while the elites profit off their struggles. Ye is aware of these things, he just doesn’t communicate in the best way which is his fault

I used to think Kanye could be the guy to actually help us talk through s*** like what it has to be like for a black guy who grew up poor to get thrown into a situation with white/jewish people fighting over who gets to make more money off your art/athletic ability etc

he obviously isn't that person lol...i hope lebron thinks about what he has w/ that unreleased shop episode though. but either way i dont think our society is able to have this conversation rn. coulda happened like 7 years ago but not today

Does Ye even identify as black? I thought he was going on whole "one race, the human race" thing

Kanye doesn’t give a f*** about his race struggling financially

this

He literally does lol if you ever pay attention when he speaks

Cope

The oppressed billionaire
Excuse me while I go cry for him

He has done more to empower black people financially than arguably any celebrity ever. Think about how many people he’s given, careers, platforms and opportunities throughout his career

talks about race and oppression

says the phrase "white people (jews included)"

Yeah long before he lost his mind

He’s black in America and wasn’t a billionaire for most of his life dude

You realize Jews owned slaves right? And were complicit to the centuries of discrimination blacks faced

Literally look at Donda sports, media etc.

this. the whole post invalid once u single out the jews

yes not ignoring that

just coming from a bigger picture perspective on dynamics of oppression between ethnicities this statement seemed a bit off

The point is not to single out Jews, it’s to include them. He would’ve been better off just saying white ppl

but he didn't. he is propagating age old anti-Semitic stereotypes. there is a big difference between saying "the rich elites are trying to control me" and "the Jewish elite are trying to control me"

and you get that special invite to the holocaust museum

I also agree with OP's point though

I don't think Kanye is a hateful person, he just speaks in such inflammatory and blunt terms that he doesn't bother to offer any nuance

Definitely worth acknowledging oppression coming from above. And yes, there are many wealthy jews who might contribute to this, it shouldn't be tied into their ethnicity/faith

OP did take advantage of a hack in the discourse that our society has -- that being that people have a gut reaction of anger if you say something that echoes the sentiment of "all black people are/do...." or "all jews are/do ......" but no one bats an eye if you make an "all white people are/do......" statement (as OP has done)

op definitely anti-semitic

Throwing jewish in there is the alt right /facist gateway phrase.

Also like most of this thread is a case and point on why we need better moderation because we keep going down this route the whole forum is just going to start recruiting facists to their cause with “innocent discussions”.

keep telling urself this bud

he could easily target crackers but he chooses to target jews with a really charged language and go on far right platforms

no matter how you spin it, no matter how you feel, he’s wrong.
