Kanye West Says ‘Black People Don’t Have Connections’ Like Jews, Fueling Classic Anti-Semitic Stereotype
Adl ^

Posted on 10/07/2022 9:10:48 PM PDT by MNDude

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced as “classic anti-Semitism” remarks by the rapper Kanye West, who in a radio interview last week attempted to explain President Obama’s inability to gain momentum on his policy priorities in Washington, D.C. with the outrageous statement that, “Black people don’t have the same level of connections as Jewish people.”

“If the comments are true as reported, this is classic anti-Semitism,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “There it goes again, the age-old canard that Jews are all-powerful and control the levers of power in government. As a celebrity with a wide following, Kanye West should know better. We hope that he will take responsibility for his words, understand why they are so offensive, and apologize to those he has offended.”

"When that grandma or that uncle die, there is a leadership vacuum in the family dynamic"

That's exactly what happened to my extended family.

Some families grow apart without an appointed connector. Meaning, kids may rely on their grandmas to arrange parties or uncles to invite a nephew to tour the same college that uncle used to attend. When that grandma or that uncle die, there is a leadship vaccuum in the family dynamic. Sometimes a new generation elects to keep the traditional get togethers going, and sometimes they do not care enough to make it happen.

Some families will disown a child if that child insists on going against parental advice. Adivice for career choice, for a marriage choice. For an investment choice. This could happen with any race or ethnicity. Even if there is a truce, years down the line, the basic trust and concern for the other’s happiness may never be as strong as it once was.

Good insight.

And as Americans not at all! It’s beneath them.

This is how dumb they are!

The most cursory examination of world history can’t help but point out that the Jews have been the people most in need of weapons for self defense in all the history of mankind. Jews that came to America and found out that here they could keep and bear arms should have sold, or indentured, their children if they could not afford arms outright, gone to their local arms dealer and said, “I’LL TAKE ONE OF THOSE, TWO OF THOSE, HAVE YA GOT ONE OF THESE IN A BIGGER CALIBER? AND AMMO! LOTS OF AMMO!”

AFTER CENTURIES OF BEING RAPED, MURDERED, AND PERSECUTED!!!

WOULDN’T THAT MAKE SENSE? SHOULDN’T JEWS BE THE #1 ADVOCATES, MALE AND FEMALE ALIKE, OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT???

I AM!

INSTEAD ALMOST ALL LIBTARD JEWS ARE VIRULENTLY ANTI GUN. THEY ARE PHU KIN INSANE!!! COMPLETELY BEYOND UNDERSTANDING!!! ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT JEWISH THEOLOGY DOES NOT ADVOCATE TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK BUT COMMANDS RATHER, IN THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES, THE TORAH, “IF SOMEONE IS COMING TO ATTACK YOU (SOME SAY ‘KILL’) RISE UP EARLY AND KILL THEM FIRST!” MAKES SENSE, HUH? NOT TO LIBTARDS, JEWS OR OTHERWISE. UNFORTUNATELY, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE JEWS IN AMERICA ARE LIBTARDS WHO KUMBAYA WITH MOOSELIMBS, WHO WOULD EAT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN ALIVE IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE, BUT ARE ASHAMED OF BEING ASSOCIATED IN ANY WAY WITH PRACTICING JEWS. THERE IS NO KIND WAY TO DESCRIBE THESE POOR LOST SOULS, G-D HELP THEM...’CAUSE NOTHING ELSE CAN!

WHOA! I SURE FEEL BETTER!

LOL, black people have connections, it’s just that they usually involve robbing, raping and killing each other.

The key difference among ethnic groups is their time preference: do they need whatever they can get right now, or are they willing to work hard and make sacrifices now for larger gains later on?

If physical characteristics can be inherited, then so can psychological attitudes.

Of course we are not allowed to discuss this in polite... er politically correct... company.

He’s right and it’s NOT anti-Semitism.

Jews have a national, cultural, and religious identity that is very unusual, and I see that as a positive thing.

The anti-semitism is the knee jerk reaction to think that recognizing that means the Jews are out to take over the world is ludicrous.

The left always reveals what racists, sexists, and anti-semites they are by the comments they make where they are massively projecting..

Cop out.

When african immigrants can come here and do way better than blacks already here, the system isn’t broken. American blacks are broken. Get your crap together and stop blaming everyone else. Thats why no one wants to be around you, grow the eff up.

G-D BLESS.

Gotta take this part by part.

First of all, I’m a practicing, religious JEW (POSTING ON THE SABBATH NOT WITHSTANDING)

“Jews have a national, cultural, and religious identity that is very unusual, and I see that as a positive thing.”

I agree with you, and am glad you see that as a positive thing. I would venture to say that the Jews are the most unusual socio-cultural phenomenon in all history. 25-30 years ago I was at a theology seminar when some smug atheist challenged the panel to “site the slightest evidence of the existence of G-D.” A CATHOLIC BISHOP answered him, “You have only to look at the Jewish People, homeless, scattered to the far corners of the Earth, vilified, persecuted, driven from land to land, reviled, murdered, for century upon century, yet still intact. Still faithful to their G-D, Law and Culture, when other peoples have risen and then disappeared. What could have sustained them but G-D? What more proof does anyone need?(Of course I’m paraphrasing what I remember) The atheist was stunned silent, and the impression it made on me is part of me now. A Jewish theology lesson from a CATHOLIC BISHOP!

So you’re right, it’s all very unusual, but a positive thing. An inspiration for all people of faith.

“The anti-semitism is the knee jerk reaction to think that recognizing that means the Jews are out to take over the world is ludicrous.”

If the Jews are out to take over the world we’re doing one heck of a lousy job of it.

“The left always reveals what racists, sexists, and anti-semites they are by the comments they make where they are massively projecting..”

True, and astute. Unfortunately, even the JEWS seduced by the left are racists, sexists, and anti-semites, and I think that they, and most leftists (except for the true lunatic fringe who really don’t know what’s real or not), know exactly what dishonest hypocrites they are. Most conservatives can accept a person being wrong about something, or in good faith having an opinion that differs from our own, but we can’t abide a lying hypocrite. We know what they are, they are ashamed to be what they are, so they hate us for knowing. Human Nature 101.

KEEP THE FAITH.

Too many groups and different cultures vying for their own rights, and beating grassroot Americans over the head with their own rights stated in the Constitution and Declaration Of Independence.

You won’t find any Chinaman running for office in Japan or vice versa, or Muslims running any office in Israel, but for some reason, it has to be done here or that’s mean.

A colossal failure till it sorts itself out in a hundred years or more for the better or for the worst.

Are they seriously bitching about his statement that blacks don’t have ‘a connection’ like Jews? That Jews don’t consider themselves a ‘a race’ - they are ‘a people’? I am a Christian and I understood what he said. Seems to me someone wants some attention and a payoff.

There was nothing anti semitic about that statement. It also happens to be true. Jews to their credit, have been highly successful in a number of fields. Rather than denying that fact, it would be more fruitful to ask wny.

Gosh...what are divorce rates like among Jews? How many are raised by single mothers? Rates of drug use? Rates of criminality? How about education - how do Jews do there?

Oh. Gosh, maybe that’s why. Maybe others could learn something from that.
