Kanye West said he will go 'death con 3' on Jewish people in a now-removed Tweet
Rapper Kanye West faced more accusations of antisemitism on Saturday after posting a rant about Jewish people.
In a tweet now removed by Twitter for violating its guidelines, the rapper and fashion designer said he was "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."
West defended himself by saying he could not be antisemitic because "black people are actually Jew [sic]."
West returned to Twitter from which he had been on hiatus since Nov. 4, 2020 after his Instagram account was restricted amid a week of tirades on the platform. Instagram confirmed to Insider it had restricted West's account but did not specify which post was in violation of its policies.

(8,964 posts)He referred to Kanye West as a "jackass" after the infamous Grammy incident when West took the stage to raise objections to Taylor Swift's having received an award that he figured should have gone to another artist (don't recall who). Since then, West has managed to validate his jackass quals on numerous occasions.

Edited for the weird typo.

(26,501 posts)ardent supporters can become. I'll say this. I've been one who in the past could "separate the art from the artist". For instance, I like the "Manchurian Candidate" remake. John Voight's in it. He's good in it. So I can forget for 2 hrs that he's an unhinged lunatic. There are other examples. But up to a point. I can't get myself to pay for a Polanski film.
I love hip hop. Grew up with it. It helped to shape some aspects of my thinking. Although I've never used, nor will I ever, the term "genius" for this ass clown. I thought he was a good/talented producer and an average to mediocre rapper. And even owned a couple of his albums, both on CD and digital. But not anymore. I can't be going around fucking with music from the black face of white supremacy. This kind of talk, historically doesn't end well. As Jewish and other folks can attest to. He and his fans can fuck right off.
I won't t tell anyone who the should jam to. But for me, I stopped rocking his shit a while back.

(53,956 posts)He has hate for the Jews because of our supposed "running of the world", especially when it comes to media. There are PLENTY of musicians, it seems, who say shit like this, Ice Cube, Jay Electronica, Nick Cannon, and Wiley are some of the more outspoken ones. Even Michael Jackson was called out for this type of shit years ago. It falls into the same vein of "Jews run Hollywood" and the ZOG, which are common among white people.

These three young men got lynched in Mississippi in June 1964, for helping black people register to vote.
Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were Jewish.
