West did nothing more than recycle and repackage Nation of Islam talking points.
Louis Farrakhan has called Jews "Satanic" and "termites" and counts among his friends and supporters Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and Raphael Warnock.
Anti-semitism is rampant in the black community and has been for generations. So now we're supposed to be offended by what Kanye West said while giving a complete pass to the exact same behavior that other blacks have exhibited currently and in the past?
Yes, what West said was wrong but let's not pretend that a whole bunch of other black celebrities aren't out there making the exact same points, if only a little more deftly.
Thats so true.
