Why? Why did you have to do this? I am a big fan and I love your music, the older ones anyway. How am I supposed to listen to Graduation and 808 and Heartbreaks without constantly having your antisemitic comments lingering around in my thoughts? I feel like you’re Ron Burgundy and I’m one of your fans from San Diego.
If you have a problem with individual Jewish people, then call them out by name and leave the rest of us out of it. You told Diddy that we control him and everything else. Did you see your followers versus and average Jewish person like myself? Who do you think has more influence? Sarah Silverman came out to speak out against your comments. Who do you think has more influence over their fans? She or you? Even Ross from friends spoke out about this. The man we never hear from anymore. Who do you think has more influence? You or Ross? Of course you Kanye!
You said DEATH CON 3, when the appropriate term is DEFCON 3. You knew what you were doing. You go on one day saying lives matter, but go on the next day saying that Jewish lives don’t. Then you said you aren’t Antiemetic because black people are also Jewish. That statement can be looked at both ways. 1) There are black people who are Jewish whether they’re Ethiopian Jews or Black people who decided to choose Judaism as a way of life and a faith to follow. Or 2) You’re saying that black people are the original Jews and the so called white people are the imposters.
The reason I bring up the second one is because supposedly in an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kanye mentions that Black people are the original Jews. Fox News apparently cut that part out. Whether that’s true or not, we have a history of people saying this. DeSean Jackson, was one of them. And you have the Black Israelite Groups that Hate Jewish people because they are imposters, and they say that black people are the original Jews and that White people stole their identity. There were people who were either a part of or were inspired by black Israelites and acted on their hatred to commit attacks on members of the Jewish community.
I have a question. Why would white people want to be Jewish willingly if they don’t have to be? Jews were persecuted throughout history, with most recently the holocaust. Jewish people are arguably the most hated people throughout history. But this is who we are. People always assume that Jews are white. They’re only thinking about Ashkenazi Jews. Jewish people are a nation of people who come from the same region. After they were expelled from their land, they scattered all over the world. After a thousand plus years of assimilation, European Jews look white. Sephardic Jews look Arab. Mizrahi Jews look Persian. E\thiopian Jews look Black. Indian Jews look Indian. The point is that being a Jew isn’t about being white or black, it’s about coming from an ancestry who lives a Jewish way of life and follows the Torah. There are people who are converts who choose to be Jewish and follow the Torah as well.
Were the original Jews Black? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. You weren’t there either. Logically, no. They looked middle eastern. Whatever the case may be, today’s Jews are descendants of the original Jews. And when you say black people are Jews also, I agree. There are White Jews, Black Jews, and everyone in between.
What is with the obsession to say that white Jews are imposters? If you want to be Jewish, then be Jewish. Who’s stopping you? Follow the Torah, Keep Shabbat, Keep Kosher, put on Tefillin. Who’s stopping you? Anyone can be Jewish if they have the desire to be Jewish.
Kanye, Jews have enough heat as it is. I can assure you that I do not control Diddy. He doesn’t even know who I am. When you say these things, you validate people’s hatred. And you have people believing in false information. If history has taught us anything, is that these kind of things don’t end well. Please do better. Thank you.
