kanye walks out of interview

Controversial music and fashion mogul Kanye West has ordered that Jewish people forgive Adolf Hitler, the German leader from the early 1900s who was credited with human extermination of over six million Jewish people across Europe.

West stood his ground when talking about his admiration for Hitler with Proud Boys founder

West stood his ground when talking about his admiration for Hitler with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, telling Jewish people that they should just “let it go.”

“So, you love Jews, but you’re canceled for antisemitism because you also love Hitler, but you love everyone equally,” McInnes said.

“Yeah, Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” Ye replied. “You can’t force your pain on everyone else. Jewish people, forgive Hitler today. Let it go, let it go, and stop trying to force it on other people. Goodnight.”

Kanye also tried to downplay the Holocaust by alleging abortion is “the Holocaust that were dealing with right now” and said that Jewish people are responsible for Hitler’s bad reputation.

Yeezy also said that he contends Jewish people “should work for Christians,” and if he becomes President in 2024, he would “hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”

As the latest retailer to cut ties with troubled music and fashion mogul Kanye West, Foot Locker has yanked all Yeezys from their shelves yesterday(October 25) just hours after Adidas announced severing ties with West for his anti-Semitic statements.

“Foot Locker, Inc. does not tolerate any form of antisemitism, or hateful and discriminatory behavior,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “While we remain a partner with adidas and carry a wide assortment of their collections — we will not be supporting any future Yeezy product drops, and we have instructed our retail operators to pull any existing product from our shelves and digital sites.” 

All 874 of the company’s chain stores were told to put all of their Yeezy merchandise in the back room until f”urther notice”, according to an employee memo.

The decision came on the heels of Adidas ending its $1.5 billion deal with West, who has seen his fashion empire crumble in the past weeks.

Balenciaga, Vogue and CAA had previously cut ties with West in the wake of his Oct. 9 tweet in which he wrote, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

The GAP, who had a multimillion dollar collaboration with Ye, annun ed yesterday that they would be taking “immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap product” from stores as well as shut down YeezyGap.com.

Ice Cube Criticized For Sharing Alleged “Anti-Semitic” Memes On Twitter

Leave a comment

Ice Cube has always walked the thin line of controversy when it came to the jewish community, but a recent series of tweets has the Hip Hop living legend on the receiving end of criticism of what is once again perceived as anti-semitic ideas.

Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, sent out five tweets yesterday to his more than 5 million followers , three of which included a Black Cube, which he captioned in one of the tweets, “Black Cube of Saturn”.

Critics immediately called the actor and director of the timeless Friday series’ tweets “anti-semitic”, with some even questioning as to whether or not Cube’s account had been hacked.

The original N.W.A. defector vehemently stood behind his posts, stating, “This is CUBE. My account has not been hacked. I speak for no organization,” he tweeted. “I only speak for the meek people of the earth. We will not expect crumbles from your table. We have to power of almighty God backing us all over the earth. NO MORE TALKING. Repent.” 

Cube’s sophomore album Death Certificate, which featured the late Nation Of Islam and Black Panther Party leader Khalid Abdul Muhammad, drew a lot of criticism for what is recognized as anti-Semitic overtones, especially with the reference to Jerry Heller on N.W.A. diss “No Vaseline”, saying, “Cause you let a Jew break up my crew..”

Peter Rosenberg Says That He’s Offended By Jay Electronica’s ‘Synagogues Of Satan’ Lyrics

Leave a comment

While true Hip Hop heads critique the contents of Jay Electronica’s premier album A Written Testimony, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg is now accusing Roc Nation’s shining son of anti-Semitism.

On the track “Better In Tune With The Infinite,” which was recorded in 2014, the NOLA native spit, “My feet might fail me, my heart might ail me/ the synagogues of Satan might accuse or jail me”, using a common biblical reference used in describing people of Jewish descent.

Rosenberg let the world know viaTwitter he wasn’t feeling the allegedly bashing bar.

When Ebro showed his co-host that this same reference was used in the Bible, quoting, “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee,” Rosenberg responded by saying, “That’s New Testament …”

Rosenberg and Electronica haven’t had the best of relationships, with Jay E jumping on Twitter in 2014 to demand Rosenberg apologize for calling PE’s Chuck D “an online troll.”

LeBron James Compares NFL Owners To Slave Masters, Gets Flack For Sharing 21 Savage Lyrics

LeBron James is pretty much Teflon when it comes to controversies off the court, but a pair of recent instances have put him in the crosshairs of critics chomping at the bit. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar slammed NFL owners in a recent episode of his HBO show The Shop, and the sharing of a questionable 21 Savage lyric had him later apologizing for the act.

Deadline reports:

Speaking with business partner Maverick Carter Friday on his HBO Sports series The Shop, with guest stars Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams and rapper/actor Ice Cube, the Los Angeles Lakers forward called NFL owners “old white men” who, he said, acted like slave masters.

“In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” James said in the conversation. “And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the f— I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.’”

James then said it was the players who made the league, not the league making the players. “The players are who make the ship go,” James said. “Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham Jr., without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it’s the same in the NBA.”

Sports Business writer Darren Rovell shared a tweet out of LeBron James rapping the lyrics of 21 Savage’s “ASMR” track, which prompted a flurry of chatter criticizing James for doing so although there were some who didn’t think he was taking the anti-Semitism route. However, James told ESPN that he truly didn’t mean to offend anyone by sharing out the song.

“Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone,” James said to ESPN after his squad lost 107-99 to the Memphis Grizzlies. “That’s not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That’s what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it. So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously, it wasn’t through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody.”

Alice Walker Facing Criticism Over Supporting Anti-Semitic Author

Liberatum Mexico Festival 2018: Day Two

Alice Walker has angered some in the Jewish community after her interview with The New York Times over the weekend referenced a book from an author that has known anti-Semitic views. The Pulitzer Prize-winning The Color Purple author gave heavy praise to author David Icke and his book And The Truth Will Set You Free that has theories that hatefully misframe Jewish communities.

The Tablet reports:

Over the weekend, the New York Times Book Review published a full-length interview with Alice Walker, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Color Purple. The very first question: “What books are on your nightstand?” Walker replied with four, the second of which was:

“And the Truth Shall Set You Free,” by David Icke. In Icke’s books there is the whole of existence, on this planet and several others, to think about. A curious person’s dream come true.”

This passed without comment from the New York Times interviewer, and the publication passed it on to readers without qualification. This is rather remarkable because the book is an unhinged anti-Semitic conspiracy tract written by one of Britain’s most notorious anti-Semites.

A former soccer player turned professional hate peddler, Icke is one of the most influential conspiracy theorists in Europe, and certainly in Britain. Today, he has over 777,000 followers on Facebook, and speaks to audiences around the world. Like many conspiracy theorists, Icke claims that a secret conspiracy controls the world. And like many conspiracy theorists, Icke claims that this secret conspiracy happens to be Jewish.

Icke and Walker both have been the target harsh words on Twitter and beyond. Walker has yet to address the matter in public.

It should be noted that Walker was once married to Jewish lawyer Melvyn R. Leventhal.
