Can someone help me as to why this is/was anti-semetic?

It has been all over the news and many are apoplectic over his comment as follows:

"I burst into tears. I woke up and burst into tears. ‘DEFCON 3 on Jewish people"

It appeared to be a figure of speech as he also said blacks are descendants of Jews and that Jesus (who he religiously follows) was a Jew.

So I am not getting the uproar. Can someone help me here? No one is suggesting he is actually going to kill Jews, are they? If he was and was serious, obviously that is crazy. But based on him loving Jesus and saying that Jesus was a Jew and black people descended from Jews, does anyone think he wants to kill Jesus and black people?
 
He used Death Com 3. He deserves the criticism for his poor choice of words. Curtis has a movie coming out so why not take the chance to jump on a stupid statement and get a little extra PR to hopefully help the box office numbers
 
Don't know this rapper but anyone who "wakes up and burst into tears" over some random person's tweet may have some of their own issues.

Sounds like an ignorant nut job. Doesn't make much sense but did the tweet have JEWISH PEOPLE in caps? What exactly does going "death con 3" (not defcon) mean? I would expect no less than this gibberish from someone who supports the malignant narcissist scumbag piece of shit liar grifter and seditionist. You can add thief as well.

It is Kanye West. His new preferred name is Ye

Unfortunately Kanye's mental illness often comes out in social media form, making manic threats, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't take it seriously. It's kinda sad to see someone spiral down so publicly.

People don't have to take it seriously, but its dangerous. Jews are frequent targets for hate crimes. Anything that makes it seem okay is irresponsible and disgusting.

Think about this - what is the point of him even bringing them up?
Its no surprise who is defending the tweet. No to anyone who has any experience on this forum.

What was said?

What good choice of words should he have used?

It’s just the latest example of the “Jews have too much power” anti-semitic belief. In this case, he was evidently kicked off of Twitter and as a result blamed “Jews” in general. For more info:

“Jews account for approximately 0.2 percent of the global population. And yet antisemites believe that this tiny minority is not only on a quest for total world domination, but is already in control of banks, the media, industry, government — even the weather.

Now, in the dark corners of the Internet, on white supremacist websites and in underground chatrooms, promotion of The Protocols and the notion of an international Jewish conspiracy functions as a kind of perverse social currency. “Globalist” functions as a codeword for Jew,15 the “cosmopolitan elite” a stand-in for wealthy and erudite Jews accused of acting against the common man to install a new world order.”


It’s a common way to “dis” all minorities, blaming the entirety for the actions of just a few.

It is dangerous, especially for a celebrity. But people might just brush it off because Kanye says/does a lot of crazy shit.

Due to the backlash/attention he's probably going to say more dumb shit in the next couple days. I hope I am wrong.

Excellent post. I will put in a good word at our next meeting. LOL!

"Black man has mental break from reality."

GOP: "He's our kinda guy!"

What do you think "DEFCON 3" means? Do you think it's a positive expression?

That doesn't answer the question. Besides, I found his interview with Tucker portrayed him as very intelligent.

Was Jesus not a Jew? Are we all not descendants of the Jewish race according to the bible? Was he not engaging in hyperbole then? Who was responsible in liberal land for starting the cancel culture? I don't know myself. Is the uproar because he's black but he's not one of theirs? Is the uproar itself racist because he's not liberal like he's supposed to be?

How do you glean that from his quote?
 
According to the article he used "Death Con 3" because he's an ignorant bigot.
He is smarter than most all of the liberals here. he is highly intelligent. You still have not answered the OP.
