Jews ‘owned the black voice and milk us til we die’ – Kanye’s antisemitic meltdown continues
The racist rapper continued his unhinged tirade on Sunday, invoking tropes about Jews controlling the media and movie industry.
Racist rapper Kayne West has doubled down on his vile attacks on Jewish people, accusing them of “owning the black voice” and invoking tropes about Jews controlling the media and movie industry, saying: They “milk us till we die”.
In a three hour rant on Revolt TV, West described how Jewish fashion brand founder Dov Charney refused to manufacture his “White Lies Matter” t-shirt after the rapper had threatened Jews with “Defcon 3”.
“That’s exactly my point: Jewish people have owned the black voice. Whether it’s through us wearing the Ralph Lauren shirt, or it’s all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney,” the racist rapper said.
He went on to say that Jews in the entertainment industry “will take one of us that could really feed a whole village, take us and milk us till we die.”
West also claimed he turned down an invitation from the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum, saying: “I want you to visit Planned Parenthood. That’s our Holocaust museum.
“I respect what the Jewish people have done and how they brought their people together. They came into money through the lawyers after Wall Street, when all of the Catholics – they wouldn’t divorce people so the Jewish lawyers came and they were willing to divorce people, that’s when they first came into the money,” he added.
He continues” “I’m me too’ing the Jewish culture. I’m saying you all have to stand up and admit to what you have been doing. You just got away with it for so long that you weren’t even realising what you were doing.”
A number of West’s concerts were canceled after his initial “Defcon” Tweet, which also led Twitter and Instagram to block his accounts.
“They blocked me out. The Jewish media blocked me out. This s–t lit. I’m lit, right? I’m lit. I’m lit, you know what I’m saying?” West said.
The American Jewish Congress issued a statement after the interview, criticising Revolt TV for allowing West to “spew antisemitic hatred” on a podcast.
“Besides the comments themselves, the problem with Kanye’s open antisemitism is the fact that these people and platforms continue to give him the chance to spew hatred. Platforms like @Revolttv cannot shirk their responsibility for the content that they produce and air without commentary. Choosing to allow Kanye to spew antisemitic hatred, even after he threatened all Jewish people, is despicable. Enough!” AJC tweeted.
